Chapter: Chapter 006I scanned the misty surroundings cautiously while all my bones ached from the fall and my heart thudded violently.Everything looked normal… sort of.The rides, games, and performers were there. Laughter echoed from afar, but beneath those laughs there was something off.An old, slanted sign above the large entrance read: Carnival of Souls.I stumbled up, limping on one leg.“Hey, do you want cotton candy?” a voice behind me asked nicely.When I turned around, I saw a clown that looked almost cute. He smiled at me, offering the candy.I looked down at the candy in surprise. Before I could say anything, an old man grabbed my hand, ran, and exclaimed, “Are you stupid?”“But…” I stammered, but my words froze when I glanced back and saw the clown.His cute eyes and smile turned ugly. The cotton candy started dripping with blood.What the fuck!I was panting heavily when the old man pulled me behind an old caravan and said between his breaths, “You almost died in the very first seconds of

Chapter: Chapter 005My heart thudded loudly as the bus stopped with a screech that sounded more like a scream. It lurched, making the chains hanging from the ceiling rattle.The door opened on its own with a metallic groan, and I swear I could hear my heartbeat.Somewhere in the distance, carnival music began to play. It was warped, broken, and scary rather than funny as it was supposed to be.As I peeked outside the window, I caught my reflection on the foggy glass. My face was pale—hollow eyes and afraid.“Dead?” I whispered to myself.I couldn't believe I was dead.But everything here seemed too… real.The air that tastes like iron. The foggy atmosphere that you could barely see your feet. And the smell was like wet wood.Was I really dead?Dead? I shook my head.No… no, no. Dead people don’t panic. Dead people don’t sweat. Dead people don’t…I touched my chest… ba‑dump, ba‑dump… it was there—my heartbeat.So… why is my heart beating like a trapped rabbit if I’m dead?And if I was not, then what was t

Chapter: Chapter 004I blinked as my eyes fixed on the most handsome man I had ever seen. A nice jawline with a small beard, attractive lips, and shiny, thick black hair.He was so good‑looking!Could this beauty even exist?From the smirk on his face and the mischievous glare, you could tell he wasn't a good guy.A sound echoed from everywhere, snapping me back and making me freeze in place.[Welcome to the Survival Game.]The bus’s front glass turned into a black screen with the same sentence written in red.What the fuck was that? A bad joke?The rusty door of the bus cracked shut. I rushed to it, trying to open it, but it was tightly locked.I rounded myself. The cold eyes of the strange passengers stared back at me, but no one said anything. They looked somehow scary.I snapped, “Who are you? What the heck am I doing here?!”No one answered.Just silence.The bus started moving and I panicked. I rushed to the windows, stepping over an old woman's foot.I stumbled and murmured, “Sorry!” but she ignore

Chapter: Chapter 003 Wren stumbled back, pulling up his pants. Scarlett snapped up, pulling down her dress, not meeting my eyes.Another sob escaped my lips as daggers were piercing into my heart.Wren turned around, his eyes wide open, trying to come up with something.The truth hit me: based on the way they were clinging to each other, this wasn't the first time.“Elara…” Scarlett was the first to talk. But I didn't want to hear her. Not her.She wasn't just a stepmom to me, I considered her my friend the moment she married my father. How could she?Wren placed his hands on his head, seeming to regret this. But deep down, I knew he wasn't. If he was, he wouldn't dare do this to me.How could he? I loved him from the bottom of my heart.My memory rolled on everything I ignored, on every sign I wronged. The always ‘TV fixing’ thing, and other signs…How didn’t I notice? His sudden coldness. All my missed calls. The decrease in our intimate time.I swallowed my sobs. I wasn't going to cry. Not before them.

Chapter: Chapter 002Before I got out of bed, Wren walked inside the room.“You’re awake!” he stated, a little nervous, I believe.“I just woke up,” I said. “Where have you been?”“I got a call from work and I didn’t want to wake you up,” he explained, getting into the bed.I frowned as I glanced at the clock again. “At this time?”“So what?” he snapped, then turned his back to me and said coldly, “Sleep, Elara. Don’t think about anything.” Then he fell asleep fast.My heart told me that there was something off, but I was too exhausted, too sleepy to think it through.The next time I opened my eyes, the sunlight was already in the middle of the room, and there wasn’t any trace of Wren.I was shocked when my eyes landed on the clock. It was 12 p.m. I rushed out of bed, stormed to the living room, but as I expected: it was empty.I tried to call Wren, but he didn’t pick up.My stepmother’s phone was out of service.Why the heck didn’t Wren or even my stepmother wake me up? The event would start at 3:00 p.m.

Chapter: Chapter 001Rule number one in life: as a woman, learn when to give… and when to stop.Never offer more than you are supposed to.“You’re fired, Elara!”My eyes fluttered as I stared down at the termination letter my boss had thrown on my desk. Disbelief washed over me.I snapped my gaze up at him. He couldn’t be serious. Could he?And there it was; the stern look on his gloomy face answered me.I shook my head in denial.“You are joking, aren't you?” My voice trembled slightly, even though I tried to keep it steady.For three years, I had been the agency’s workhorse, ghostwriting horror fiction like a mule.“You have two hours to clear your desk, Elara,” he ordered, his voice carrying no warmth, no appreciation. He simply turned to leave.“No, please! There must be a mistake!” I rushed after him, clutching his sleeve.He shoved me off. I stumbled back, my leg hit the edge of the desk. Even though it hurt hard enough to bruise, I didn’t flinch. I couldn't care less.I could not lose this job. Not

****

Chapter: Chapter 148MilaI wasn't sure exactly how much I had slept when I first opened my eyes to the sound of someone knocking on the door.I looked around and noticed that Luca's bedroom door was slightly open.As I got closer, I heard the sound of running water.My eyes locked on Marco the moment I opened the suite door."Hi..." he muttered.I stepped back, letting him in."Hi..."I sat back down on the sofa."It seems even Capos make big mistakes."He took the sofa opposite me.Something painful flickered across his face."I'm sorry, Mila."I let out a sigh."She is Bratva, Marco. And you know what that means. You shouldn't have even thought about her, especially when she's engaged... and we're guests at her engagement party.""I know..." he muttered, avoiding my gaze. "We didn't mean to... We just couldn't... control ourselves."I heard the bathroom door of Luca's room open."You need to explain that to him..." I said quietly. "I don't think he believes in 'We just couldn't control ourselves.'"Min

Chapter: Chapter 147I mustered all the strength I had and pushed the door open.The two people inside the room were so consumed by their passion that they didn't even notice me opening the door and stepping inside.My eyes widened, and I couldn't hold back a loud gasp as I recognized them.Marco and Irina.They were in bed. Together.They didn't notice my presence even though I was standing right in the middle of the room."Marco..." My voice came out as little more than a whisper.He was just writing our death sentence.He was sleeping with Princess Malakhov—the very woman we had come here to attend the official engagement party for. The woman who was about to marry a Bratva prince.They both froze.Marco was the first to regain his composure. He quickly pulled the blanket over both of them.Irina gasped. "О Боже мой." Oh my God.I slowly shook my head. They were dragging both our families into a bloody war."Mila," Marco said, trying to pull on his trousers beneath the blanket."You doomed us, Marco,"

Chapter: Chapter 156I let my gaze sweep slowly across the grand ballroom before finally spotting Irina Malakhov.She looked every bit the Russian princess the media always described.Her golden gown shimmered beneath the crystal chandeliers, hugging her graceful figure before flowing elegantly to the floor. Against the rich fabric, her porcelain skin almost seemed to glow, while the diamonds around her neck sparkled with every movement she made.One arm was wrapped possessively around her waist.Her fiancé.I recognized him from his last visit to Italy.He wore the confident smile of a man who had already won the greatest prize in the room, yet something felt... off.There was no warmth between them.No stolen glances.No effortless smiles.Nothing that resembled two people in love.His hand remained firmly around her waist, almost as if he needed everyone around him to remember that she belonged to him.The moment Irina's eyes landed on me, her face lit up.A genuine smile spread across her red-painted

Chapter: Chapter 155Everything went smoothly. No one suspected anything.But then, I faced a problem I hadn't thought of before."I'm not staying with you in the same suite," I hissed, crossing my arms over my chest. "Over my dead body.""It's not like you have a choice, Mila," Luca hissed back.The hotel staff looked at us with hesitant smiles on their faces."I'm not letting you take a suite away from me." He grabbed my arm. "We are in Russia. Do you know what the fck that means? We're out of our territory, out of our power... I can't trust them enough to leave you alone."I tried to pull my arm free."We're not even sure whether your mother has fcked things up here too or not. I agreed to come to protect your family's reputation, so at least listen to what I'm saying."I knew he was arguing with me only for appearances. I also knew I had no choice. If he had to, he would force me."Fine," I said.Once he released my hand, I headed inside the suite, while he followed behind with the hotel staff carryin

Chapter: Chapter 144My eyes fixed on Luca while he rested his head against the leather seat of the private jet beside me. I turned my head and looked back at Nadia, who was sitting behind me wearing Serafina's signature mask and long red wig. She smiled and gave me a small wave. I raised my thumb in approval. It had taken me hours to convince her to do this. She had been terrified, and honestly, I couldn't blame her. Pretending to be one of the world's most famous women while sitting beside Il Don himself wasn't exactly a comfortable mission. But I had no other choice. She was carrying Serafina's passport normally. Jamal had arranged everything regarding the visa and travel documents. As long as Luca believed she was Serafina. Everything would go according to plan. A small smile tugged at my lips. Luca opened his eyes and caught me waving toward Serafina. "So... you're a fan of hers?" he asked lazily, a trace of sarcasm in his voice. I frowned. "Why not? Aren't you?" One corner of

I asked.He sized me up and down, his gaze setting my body on fire."I don't know..." he said. "What do you have to offer?"My throat went dry. I licked my lips.He traced my lower lip with his thumb."Do you have anything to offer besides your body? Because, genuinely, I'm not interested.""If you don't want to help..." I stammered.He raised a brow."...Yeah? What would you do?"I wished I could punch that provoking smirk off his face.But I knew I had crossed a line before, and now I had to endure this."I'm here not because I'm Mila," I started, trying to sound convincing and professional. "I'm here as the Russetti heiress. And all I want is to rebuild my family.

The Otherside Of Love || Sadistic Billionaire
"You're mine. You're my wife. You're fucking MINE," my husband roared furiously, slamming me against the wall.
I instinctively lowered my hand to protect my belly. He didn’t know I was pregnant, yet.
“I will never leave you. I will never let you go,” he whispered this time, his voice breaking as he pressed his forehead against mine. “I’m drowning without you.”
My vision blurred with tears. I reached up and caressed his cheek.
I knew he needed me. I knew he wanted me.
But not as a wife… He only wanted, needed, my body. It had always been about my body and sex… and it would always be.
He wanted me to be his submissive. His sex slave. Beneath him. Controlled. Obedient.
With a trembling breath, I whispered, "I'm not, Raf. I'm not yours. We can't be together. We came to the end of this useless marriage."
His phone rang...
It was Debbie. The other woman.
His jaw tightened as he stepped back. “I’ll take this quickly… then we’ll finish this.”
I didn’t need him to. I already knew.
He would always choose her.
The moment he walked out, my tears fell freely, burning down my cheeks.
With shaking hands, I wiped my eyes harshly and grabbed my phone.
“I’m leaving,” I said. “Can you take me to the airport?”
Trembling, I turned toward my closet, searching for something to cover the bruises on my skin… and the ones far deeper.
***
I loved my husband with everything I had… even though he was dark, cruel, and dangerously possessive.
I was his little dirty secret. Hidden wife. We got married under some circumstances.
Marriage no one knew existed.
I’ve made my decision.
I'll never let him treat me like his submissive again.NEVER!

Chapter: Chapter 103 FinisNatalie’s POVI heard the sound of Rafael's keys in the door lock with great anticipation. I took a deep breath as he opened the mansion door, and a wave of claps and joyful laughter washed over him. The room was filled with friends and family, their faces glowing with happiness. But the one thing that captured his attention, the one image that filled his heart and eyes with overwhelming joy, was me. I stood in the center of the room, holding Matt in my arms, wearing a stunning white dress—a wedding dress.Rafael’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief, and then tears of happiness welled up. His expression mirrored my own overwhelming emotions. I remembered the days when I loved him secretly, the painful nights I spent yearning for his touch. The jealousy that broke my heart at that time. Then, I thought of how much he had changed for me, how he had shed his sadistic tendencies and embraced a love that was tender and true. Our love had become a sanctuary, a safe haven where we could be

The taxi stopped a few blocks away, and I paid the driver, telling him to wait. I couldn’t risk Debbie spotting the car.I walked the rest of the way, my senses on high alert. Every sound, every shadow made my heart race. Finally, I reached the address Debbie had sent. It was an old, abandoned warehouse, the kind of place that sent shivers down your spine just by looking at it.I wiped a tear ran down my cheek, and with taking a deep breath, I stepped inside. The air was musty, and the only light came from the gaps in the boarded-up windows. My footsteps echoed eerily as I walked further into the building.My heart bounded with anticipation, finally I would see my little boy. How did she manage to feed him? He didn’t take the formula milk.“Natalie,” Debbie’s voice rang out from the darkness, sending a chill down my spine. She stepped out from the shadow

Maya, Daniel, Lucas, their mother and father, and even our granny. They all looked worried, their presence both comforting and overwhelming.As I stared at them, I was shocked. It was the last person to step forward who shocked me the most. My real father. He stood there, looking healthier and stronger than I remembered, and there was a softness in his eyes that I hadn’t seen the last time I visited him. For a moment, I couldn’t move, couldn’t speak. It was as if time had stopped, and all I could do was stare at him.“Hey guys, you came!” Rafael cut the silence with a surprised tone."Nat," Maya said softly, stepping forward and wrapping her arms around me. "We're here for you."Everybody stepped inside and started hugging me except one person, my father.However, he stood there puzzled for a moment then said softly in a whisper, “Natalie,” his voice th

Chapter: Chapter 100Natalie’s POVThe long night passed in a haze of dread and exhaustion. I couldn’t sleep; every time I closed my eyes, I saw Matt’s face, heard his cries. The darkness outside the window was a mirror to the darkness inside me, a suffocating blanket that left me gasping for breath. I paced the room, my steps slow and heavy, my mind replaying the events of the day over and over again.Rafael had been gone for hours, searching desperately for any clue that might lead us to our son. The silence of the house was oppressive, broken only by the occasional creak of the floorboards or the distant hum of traffic outside. The waiting was unbearable, each minute stretching into an eternity. I could feel the panic rising within me, threatening to consume me whole.I moved from room to room, my body restless, my mind tormented by the unknown. I went into Matt's room and sat on his bed, clutching his favorite stuffed animal, inhaling the faint scent of him still lingering in the fabric. Memories of h

The silence was suffocating, every second stretching into an eternity. I couldn’t imagine what Debbie might be doing to my little boy. Rafael had been updating me frequently with whatever scraps of information he could gather, but the constant fear gnawed at me, an ever-present shadow that made me feel as if I might crumble at any moment.“No news?” Tobi asked gently as she handed me a cup of coffee. Her voice was soft, but the concern in her eyes was palpable. I shook my head, unable to find any words that could convey the depth of my fear. Nothing was clear.
