The Poison Bride's Gambit: Seven Husbands, One Survivor

"I've murdered six husbands. My seventh just proposed with a smile and a dagger." Calista Ravencross is the most dangerous woman in Ashenmere—and she doesn't remember why. Every seven months, she's forced to marry a prince picked by the Queen. Every seven months, her husband dies suddenly on their wedding night. Six times she's woken covered in blood with no memory of the kill. Six times she's been pardoned by royal order and sent back into society like a loaded weapon. The aristocracy calls her the Poison Bride. The common folk call her the Black Widow. She calls herself a prisoner in a body that kills against her will. Now she's been given her seventh husband: Lord Theron Blackthorn, the Queen's Master of Whispers—a spy so dangerous even the Queen fears him. But Theron isn't like the others. When she tells him she'll kill him, he laughs. When she begs him to refuse the marriage, he accepts with disturbing excitement. "I know what you are, Calista," he says on their engagement night. "I know why you kill. And I'm going to help you remember everything they took from you." Because Theron has found the truth: Calista isn't a serial killer. She's a threat. Her memories have been stolen and changed six times by blood magic, and each "husband" was actually a target killed by whoever controls her. She's been the Queen's perfect deniable asset—a beautiful killer who doesn't even know she's being used. But the seventh goal is different. The seventh target is Theron himself, the only man who's gotten close to revealing the plot. He's going into marriage knowing she'll try to kill him, armed with seven night's worth of clues to break her conditioning before the death curse starts. Seven nights to recover six stolen killings. Seven nights to discover who's been using her. Seven nights to fall in love with the man she's meant to kill. The Poison Bride has killed six times. But the seventh husband isn't here to survive—he's here to make sure she finally wins.

THE FRIEND I TRUST

Amara thought she had everything— A loving husband, a peaceful home, and a future she could trust. Daniel was her safe place, the man who loved her with a calm intensity that made her feel chosen every single day. But behind Amara’s world of comfort was a shadow she didn’t see coming— Tonia, her “best friend,” a woman who smiled sweetly but carried a heart full of jealousy. For years she hid her obsession for Daniel, silently wishing Amara’s happiness was hers. When Amara’s insecurities begin to grow, Tonia sees her chance. With carefully crafted lies, twisted advice, and pretend concern, she pushes Amara into decisions that slowly destroy the trust between husband and wife. Arguments rise, distance grows, and love starts to crack under pressure—just the way Tonia planned. Daniel tries his best to hold their marriage together, confused by Amara’s sudden change and hurt by accusations he doesn’t deserve. Yet he refuses to stop loving her, even as their home begins to crumble. When the truth eventually shatters everything, Amara is left heartbroken—betrayed not just by her friend, but by her own fears. Daniel must decide if love is enough to heal wounds caused by manipulation and mistrust. And in the middle of the storm stands Victor, Daniel’s loyal friend, who becomes his emotional support as the marriage falls apart. But Victor also sees what Daniel can’t—whether Amara is still worth fighting for. This is a story of love poisoned, trust broken, betrayal uncovered, and the painful journey toward forgiveness—or letting go. A tale where hearts are tested, loyalties are questioned, and the truth hurts more than the lies that created it.

Neighbour's Club

Read at your own risk. This story doesn’t just cross lines — it melts them. Desire, taboo, obsession, jealousy, and forbidden intimacy coil together into something you won’t be able to stop reading. One glance… one secret… one mistake — and everything begins to unravel. #R18 #TABOO #MILF #LESBIAN #LGBTQ+ #MATURE #LOVE #COUPLE #SUSPENSE #INCEST --- Emily had only leaned into her fridge for a cold drink when a flicker of movement caught her eye. A soft sway of bare skin. A ripple of brunette hair sliding over a shoulder. A shape she recognized instantly — the kind of silhouette you don’t forget. Patty. Her neighbor. Her weakness, though she’d never admit it. But this time, Patty wasn’t just being careless. She was being… bold. Patty lingered at her side door, peeking out like someone hiding a delicious sin. Then, with a slow exhale, she pushed the door wider — enough for Emily to see the gentle rise of her chest, the curve of her hips, the blush of warm skin catching the afternoon light. And Patty didn’t stop there. She stepped outside completely, her body unhidden, her confidence trembling but unmistakable. The cool air touched skin it wasn’t supposed to touch, and her breath quickened as she clutched the garage opener to her chest. Her eyes darted around — scared of being seen… and maybe hoping she would be. The garage door rose just enough for her to slip under, her body brushing the edge, her breath shaky, her movements hurried but undeniably sensual. Emily stood frozen, pulse racing, unable to look away. In that single stolen moment, something shifted between them — something neither of them would ever be able to take back.
