Hate to Love

“One life saved. One soul claimed.” “You belong to me now, little bird. You saved my life, and now I will spend mine claiming yours.” Cardiovascular nurse Ava Moreles thought saving a dying stranger was just another day at the hospital. She had no idea that pulling Dario Santos back from death’s door would seal her own fate. Dario Santos doesn’t just rule the underworld—he owns it. And now, he’s decided he owns her too. When he crashes her wedding with blood on his hands and possession in his eyes, Ava realizes the man she saved isn’t just dangerous—he’s obsessed. With her. Torn between the safe love she’s always known and the consuming fire of a man who would burn the world down for her, Ava must navigate a treacherous path where every choice could be her last. In Dario’s dark empire, love isn’t just dangerous—it’s deadly. But as the line between captive and willing participant begins to blur, Ava discovers the most terrifying truth of all: the monster she’s supposed to fear might be the only one who truly sees her soul. Will she surrender to the darkness that calls to her? Or will fighting for her freedom cost more than she’s willing to pay? Some obsessions are worth dying for. Others are worth killing for.

THE WEDDING
“Breathe, sweetheart. This is your day.” Mrs. Moreles smoothed Ava’s veil with trembling fingers, her forced smile not quite reaching her eyes. Ava’s reflection stared back from the mirror—pale, hollow-eyed despite the carefully applied makeup. Her mother’s words felt like shards of glass. “Your day”. If only she knew. “If I can’t have you, no one else will. And if you go against me to marry Leandro, I will drag you across his corpse and fuck you there, his blood staining that precious white dress.” Dario’s voice echoed in her mind, as cold and final as a death sentence. Her hands shook as she gripped the bouquet.“Mum, I—”“It’s time, Ava.” Mr. Moreles appeared in the doorway, his face lighting up at the sight of her. “You’re radiant. Leandro won’t know what hit him.”“Neither will you, Papa.” The thought twisted her stomach into knots. She wanted to scream, to confess everything, but the words died in her throat. What could she say? That a monster owned her? That this beauti

BROKEN GLASS
The penthouse overlooked the city like a throne room built for a king who ruled through fear. Floor-to-ceiling windows stretched across the far wall, offering a view that would have been breathtaking under different circumstances. Now, thirty stories above the street, Ava felt like she was trapped in a glass cage. She hadn’t spoken during the ride. What was there to say? Her wedding dress, once pristine and full of dreams, now hung torn and stained around her ankles. The delicate beading had caught on the car door, leaving a trail of scattered pearls across the leather seat like fallen tears. Dario moved through his domain with the fluid grace of a predator in familiar territory. He had shed his suit jacket, revealing the crisp white shirt beneath that somehow remained spotless despite the chaos he had orchestrated. How did monsters stay so clean?“You are bleeding.” His voice cut through her spiraling thoughts.Ava looked down. A thin line of red traced along her palm where sh

THE HUNTER AND THE HUNTED
Leandro’s apartment had become a war room. Maps of the city covered every surface, marked with red pins showing Dario Santos’ known properties. His laptop screen glowed with surveillance footage, financial records, anything that might give him an edge against a man who owned half the city’s underground. A Notorious mafia don, in all of North-shore city whose name commanded respect and inspired fear at the mere mention of his name. His ruthless reputation preceded him, striking dread into the hearts of those who cross him . “This is insane.” Detective Riley Martinez stood in the doorway, and shook her head, taking in the chaos. She watched him fixing and scattering papers all over. They had been partners on the force before Leandro left to start his security firm, and she was one of the few people who had take his call after what happened at the cathedral. “You are talking about going up against the Santos organization. Alone.”“Not alone.” Leandro didn’t look up from the photos s

BEAUTIFUL RESISTANCE
The dress had to go.Ava stared at her reflection in Dario’s bathroom mirror, taking in the damage. Her makeup had long since smudged into war paint, her hair had escaped its careful pins, and the wedding dress—that beautiful, expensive symbol of the life she’d lost—hung around her like a shroud.She found scissors in the vanity drawer and began cutting.The beaded bodice fell away first, followed by layers of silk and tulle. Each snip felt like severing another connection to the woman she had been this morning. By the time she finished, she was wearing nothing but the slip underneath and something harder, fiercer than she had ever allowed herself to feel. Let Dario see what he had really taken. Not some blushing bride, but a woman with nothing left to lose. She found a robe hanging behind the door, a black silk that probably cost more than her monthly salary and wrapped it around herself like armor. When she emerged from the bathroom, Dario was standing by the windows with his bac

THE FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE
For three days, Ava waged war. She refused to eat the meals brought to her room. She threw herself against the locked door until her shoulders ached. She searched every inch of her prison for something, anything, that could be used as a weapon or a way out.She found nothing.The windows were bulletproof and didn’t open. The bathroom had no mirrors that could be broken, no razors that could be stolen. Even the furniture was bolted down, as if Dario had anticipated exactly this kind of resistance.Of course he had. He had planned everything else.On the fourth morning, she woke to find him sitting in the chair by her window, watching her sleep. The sight should have terrified her, but by now she was beyond fear. She had moved into something colder, harder.Pure, distilled rage.“Get out.” Her voice was hoarse from days of screaming at locked doors and unresponsive guards.“Good morning to you too.” He was impeccably dressed as always, his dark suit pristine, his pale blue eyes as ste

KING OF NORTHSHORE CITY
The city bent to his will like everything else in Dario Santos’ world.From the back seat of his Rolls Royce, he watched Northshore’s morning rush unfold beyond bulletproof glass. Construction crews worked overtime on his latest real estate project. Stock tickers in Times Square displayed Santos Parallax Corp shares climbing steadily upward. Even the mayor’s billboard campaign featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony at one of his developments.But none of it mattered. Not the empire, not the power, not the fear that followed his name through every boardroom and back alley in the city.All that mattered was thirty stories above him, locked in his penthouse, refusing to eat.“Sir?” His driver’s voice cut through his thoughts. “We have arrived.”The Santos Parallax headquarters rose like a steel and glass monument to everything he had built from nothing. Forty-seven floors of legitimate business that funded the shadow empire most people pretended not to see. It should have filled him with pr

HUNGER AND HATRED
The hunger finally won.Ava had held out for five days, her body consuming itself one cell at a time, but the trembling in her hands and the way her vision blurred at the edges told her she was reaching her limit. She couldn’t save anyone if she was dead, and dying wouldn’t free her family from Dario’s shadow.The penthouse was eerily quiet as she crept through the marble hallways, bare feet silent on the cold floor. It was early—too early for Dario to be awake, too early for his army of security to expect movement from the defiant prisoner in the guest room.She found the kitchen tucked away behind the main living area, all gleaming steel and granite surfaces that probably cost more than most people’s cars. The space was warm despite its industrial feel, filled with the kind of morning light that might have been peaceful under different circumstances.“Oh, sweetheart!”Ava spun around, heart hammering, to find a woman in her sixties standing by the massive stove. Gray hair pulled bac

BLOOD AND BROKEN
The kitchen went dead silent.Dario stood in the doorway like a storm about to break. His business suit was gone, replaced by jeans and a black shirt that made him look less like a CEO and more like the dangerous man Ava knew he really was. His pale blue eyes locked onto the blood dripping from her hand onto his marble floor.“Rosa.” His voice was quiet. Too quiet. “Take Ava upstairs. Call Dr. Reeves.”Ava wanted to protest, wanted to see what would happen between Dario and his stepmother, but the pain shooting up her arm was making everything blur at the edges. Rosa’s gentle hands guided her away from the wreckage of porcelain and blood, away from Cecile’s defiant stare and Dario’s terrifying stillness.“Don’t say another word until they’re gone,” she heard him tell Cecile as they left.Rosa rushed her through hallways that felt like they went on forever, finally pushing her into a room that looked more like a private medical clinic than a bedroom. Clean white walls, equipment that b

GHOSTS AND REVELATIONS
Dario sat in his home office, surrounded by darkness save for the pale glow of his computer screens. Ava’s phone lay on the desk between his hands like evidence in a murder trial—which, he was beginning to realize, it might very well be.The text from C. Santos still burned in his mind: “We have her location. Move in tomorrow at dawn. Come alone.”His sister’s words from earlier that day echoed in his head, each syllable as sharp as broken glass…Carissa Santos looked exactly the same as the day she had vanished from his life three years ago. Still beautiful in that sharp, dangerous way that had gotten more than one man killed. Still wearing that smile that meant someone was about to bleed.“You’re supposed to be dead.” His voice came out flat, emotionless, even though his hand was already moving toward the gun under his jacket.“Disappointing, I know.” She stood with fluid grace, designer heels clicking against marble as she moved around his desk like she owned the place. “But you kn

BEFORE THE STORM
Owen Moreles had aged ten years in five days.Leandro noticed it the moment Ava’s father opened the apartment door—the new lines around his eyes, the way his shoulders had bent under an invisible weight, the tremor in his hands as he gestured them inside.“Any word?” Owen asked before they even sat down, though they all knew the answer.“I’m working on it,” Leandro said, which wasn’t really an answer at all.Cara Moreles emerged from the kitchen carrying a tray of coffee none of them would drink. Her red hair—so like Ava’s—was pulled back in a messy bun, and she had clearly been crying. The sight of her made Leandro’s chest tighten with guilt he couldn’t shake.“The police won’t tell us anything,” she said, setting the tray down with hands that shook. “They keep saying it’s an ‘ongoing investigation,’ but what does that even mean? It’s been five days. Five days since—”Her voice cracked. Owen moved to his wife’s side, wrapping an arm around her shoulders in a gesture so natural it mad
