Crimson Contract: The Devil’s Bride

*Mature content* "You want to stand in the same room," Cassian drawled slowly, "while I fuck another woman?" Cixi McLore had been born ordinary. Her parents were killed, and the life that followed turned into a slow, unending hell. Lonely, traumatised, and ground down by constant abuse, she could no longer find a reason to keep living. And that single thought became her curse. And that curse took the shape of Cassian Crown — a billionaire mafia king, whose power in the mortal world was only a shadow of what he truly was. He is not gentle. He is not kind. And he is certainly not safe. *'Devil's Favourite Obsession' takes you on a journey through obsession, revenge, redemption, and fate, all wrapped up in a dark mafia romance with a twist of fantasy. Set against a gritty contemporary mafia backdrop, this story is primarily grounded in reality, with just enough 'supernatural elements' to keep things intriguing and exciting. You will find a compelling push-and-pull dynamic between the main characters that's both intense and engaging. I love building a solid foundation, setting the stage for the thrilling moments that are yet to come!*

*"The flap of a butterfly's wings can trigger a tornado on the other side of the world." —Edward Lorenz. We are twenty years before independence in the Viceroyalty of New Granada. Spain is still the overlord of the southern part of the continent, but its power is fading. Can our protagonist really change the future, or will he be swallowed by the competing interests surrounding independence? He awakens with only a few memories of the 21st century, struggling to navigate a world on the brink of revolution. From the start, he aims to use the independence movements to become one of the most powerful forces in post-independence South America and secure a future for his descendants. But to achieve his goals, he must outmaneuver the Church, the nobility, and wealthy merchants—while trying to build a good life for himself and the people who place their trust in him.

Ajeji Village, once a quiet, humble town, hides shadows darker than anyone dares imagine. When Adegboyega returns to his childhood home after years away, he immediately senses that something is wrong—the air feels heavy, the silence is unnatural, and the familiar streets seem alien. What was once home now feels like a trap. As he moves through the village, he discovers that Ajeji is no ordinary place. Beneath its thatched roofs and dusty lanes lurk evil forces, manipulating the villagers and feeding on fear. Strange deaths, inexplicable events, and whispers of curses paint a picture of a town that thrives on darkness. Adegboyega, drawn by memories of his father and his own past, must navigate treacherous alliances, uncover hidden secrets, and confront forces far beyond human understanding. Throughout the first 21 chapters, the story unfolds as a tense battle between the ordinary and the supernatural. Adegboyega encounters allies and enemies alike—some villagers are unwilling pawns, others harbor dark intentions, and some, like his own family’s legacy, tie him inexorably to the town’s fate. Every step closer to the truth reveals deeper layers of corruption and ancient malevolence. By chapter 21, the stakes escalate: Adegboyega must face not just the town’s evil, but the shadows within himself. The village’s mysteries begin to intertwine with his own destiny, forcing him to question what is real, who can be trusted, and whether he can survive the darkness he has returned to confront. Ajeji Village is a story of suspense, horror, and the human struggle against unseen forces—where every shadow hides a secret, and every secret comes with a price.

Four hundred years ago, the Atlantic received the bodies of the enslaved — the ones thrown from ships into darkness and chains. They should have died. Instead, something in the ocean changed them. Gave them abilities no one can explain. And from the wreckage of the worst thing ever done in all of humanity, they built Befa — a hidden civilization more advanced than anything the surface world has ever seen. The law of Befa is simple: never surface. Never interfere. Ayim broke it. He is a prince of Befa, rare Gbohoun-winged and reckless, and he has seen what the surface world cannot see — a darkness called the Fynn moving through the minds of men, turning old resentments into slaughter, pulling kingdoms apart from the inside. The elders say it is not their problem. The surface world destroyed their ancestors. They owe it nothing. But the Fynn and Befa share an origin. The same event that made his people also made their enemy. And if Ayim does nothing, the convergence is coming — the moment the corruption becomes permanent and irreversible. He surfaces anyway. He brings his crew. He breaks the law his people wrote in blood. Now Befa's greatest secret is on the edge of being revealed. The Fynn has noticed him. And something worse than war is coming. The hiding ends here.
