Selena
My best friend Amy and I have plans to go to the mall for a pumpkin festival they are having and then head out to an outdoor concert downtown to listen to some rising rock stars.
I look in the mirror as I finished putting on makeup and gave my outfit one last look. My makeup is simple medium brown eye shadow, black mascara and a baby pink lip gloss. I'm not a fan of wearing lots of makeup. It makes me feel like I have cake on my face. I dress quite conservatively because I don't like showing of my body. Amy never understood this about me why I want to hide my curves.
I heard my phone ring.
"Hey"
"Come out"
"I'm coming"
I hung and head out.
"Where are you going?" My father asked me when I am just by door.
"Out" I replied without even bothering to look at him.
I got inside Amy's car.
"What's up girl"
"Nothing I'm done with school"
"You lucky girl school is banging my ass"
I start laughing.

I don't want to go out. Why do people even go to mall when online shopping exists. My best friend Ben practically dragged me out of bed. He thinks I need to get laid. And Ben genius thought mall is the place to find me chick.
I am putting on shoes when Ben barged into my room.
"Dude come on we need to get going it's getting late"
"I'm sure girls in the mall won't go anywhere in the half hour we are running behind"
"Yes but other guys will snatch them up before we even reach there"
"Why do you want me to find a girl so bad? You have a girlfriend Spend time with her instead of eating my brain"
"I care about you and you need wingman"
"I don't"
"You are 31 and still single. You are hopeless on your own"
"I still haven't met a girl who falls on my standards"
"Lower your standards Get up show me your outfit"
I stood up and let out an aggravated sigh as Ben circled me like a shark. I am dressed in a dark blue jeans, a black button up shirt and black loafers. This whole idea is so stupid. Why did i agree to this?
"Although I'm not a fan of black but I must admit you look hot. If I were a girl I would have totally banged you"
I elbowed him.
"Seriously dude Ladies are going to fall at your feet"
"I don't want a woman like that"
"Let's go man who's driving"
"I am I don't trust you" I said firmly.
We walked into the garage. I unlocked my Porche got into my driver's seat. Ben started giving me tips but I turned up the music.
"Seriously dude"
"What" I said in an aggravated tone.
"Ok I will shut up but please change the music"
"It's my car and I will gladly drop you off on the expressway if you have a problem with the music I listen to"
"Rude"
"Did you expect my personality to change just because I agreed to go out to you"
Ben and I never agree on music. I enjoy listening to Opera while he would rather bash his head on the wall than listening to this. I like the more harmonious emotional signing.
I highly doubt I am going to enjoy this evening. But I have a gut feeling I would find something interesting Tonight. Let's see what happens. I just hope I don't regret this night out.
Nadia's life was a symphony of flour, sugar, and the contented sighs of satisfied customers. Her bakery, "Flour & Fancy," was a haven of warmth and comfort, away from the whispers of the city's underbelly. One rainy afternoon, a misplaced invitation shattered the tranquility. Addressed to "Nadia Petrova," it spoke of a lavish wedding for a couple she didn't recognize. Intrigued by the strange coincidence and fueled by a touch of reckless curiosity, Nadia tucked the invitation into her pocket. Over the following weeks, the misplaced invitation became a twisted calling card. Cryptic messages, delivered through seemingly ordinary means – tucked under her bakery door, finding it in her purse – drew Nadia deeper into Dante's world. Torn between her fear and a growing fascination with the man behind the power, Nadia began to search for the enigmatic Don only to come up with nothing not even his picture. Her creations, infused with love and a hint of rebellion, became a silent conversation between them. The night of the wedding, a world unseen by Nadia unfolded. The venue, a mansion shrouded in shadows, pulsed with a dangerous energy. Inside, opulent chaos reigned – glittering gowns, veiled threats exchanged under crystal chandeliers, and a tension that crackled in the air. Here, Nadia encountered Dante Russo, the enigmatic Don. His gaze, as sharp as obsidian, held a flicker of surprise when he saw her. Despite the danger radiating from him, Nadia couldn't deny a spark of attraction. She found herself to be the center of the invitation. She was the bride without even realizing it. Dante realizes that there was a mix-up. She was not the girl he hired to be his fake bride. To save face, he comes up with a plan. She had two choices either accept the deal or get killed by the Don. As Nadia learned more about Dante's world, the harsh realities of the mafia life clashed with her kind heart. Witnessing a brutal act of violence forced her to confront the darkness that lurked beneath the surface. Their connection, a forbidden dance on the edge of a knife, threatened to unravel everything. One night, she stumbled upon a truth. They used her as bait, luring Dante into a trap. The invitation was not a mix-up. It was deliberately sent by her husband's brother. The ensuing chaos forced Nadia to choose – retreat to the safety of her bakery or fight for the man who had awakened a fierce protectiveness within her. As she was picking up the broken pieces, she came to know the dark secret. Her parents were killed by Dante Russo 10 years ago. Thrown into yet another challenge, she navigated her way through. In the end, Dante dismantled the violent operations of the Russo family, leaving behind a legacy of justice. Nadia, no longer just a baker, became his partner, not just in love, but in building a new future.

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
