Marc Anthony once said, I only feel alive when I dream at night, even though she's not real it's all right. This was the tragic life of Zeno Silvestri. After losing his wife Dan-a Silvestri his world crumbled to the ground, he drowned himself in a pit of misery and drinks and spent most of his nights with any living woman who was willing to give herself. Trying to find the slightest feel he got from her in every woman he was with. But no one was like her, no one smelt or sounded like her, no one tasted or kissed him like her, no one made him shudder without even touching him the way she did. All he could do to keep himself sane was to drown himself in more drinks and fall asleep. At least there in his dreams, it was a fantasy land. Although his real life was a mess without her, his dreamland was perfection. She was always there waiting for him. He knew his dreams were nothing but dreams, but it was alright for him, he got to hold and touch her there, so all he wished to do was fall asleep so he could be in her arms once again. "No one can ever be like her." He had said. "No one would ever make me feel the way she made me feel." And even if there ever was someone, he'd never let her get close to him again. For he was poisonous. But then she came along, she'd always been there, but this time she says... "You're poisonous, and I'm venomous. It's perfect." "It's not perfect... We'll both get hurt." He said "No, we'll just burn, and heal... Perfectly" IN this tragic life of Zeno, will he ever learn to really let go of his past, and open a new door to new fantasies?? A story that tells of the joy in finding love, and the pain of losing love and the process of learning to heal, and the ecstasy that comes with finding love again. The setting is based in Italy, so a few words, like some curse words, or exclamations are in Italian. Follow on Instagram @queenanovels08

"You finally became the monster I always feared," a loud sob escaped Cristina's throat as her own hands for the very first time trembled as they touched her only son's face. The creature that stood before her is now a perfect replica of the very man she had prayed her son would never become. "The one who created the monster is always the one who feared it the most," Turning his once warm russets that were now smoldered with an eerie intensity, Alastair looked at his now trembling mother, "And now that innocent angel you used to pray for, is now in the clutches of that very monster you created. Isn't this what you always wanted, Mom? Ezelea as my bride from the very moment you laid eyes on her." "I did..I did wish for that angel to marry my son, but not the monster you've become. I'd rather kill her with my own hands than let you ruin her pureness." A tear trickled down her cheeks. "Better keep your wife and yourself far from my life, because I'm telling you, Dad, if anyone. I repeat, if anyone even dared to think of separating Jennie from me, I won't think twice before burning down this entire fucking world with all of you in it, till the ashes of this world witnesses her as Ezelea Alastair Castellanos" he paused before continuing, "Get this into your fucking head. She's destined to be mine, whether she chooses to embrace this destiny or not." ~~~~ She was an unwanted bride because she was never meant to be his, not in the eyes of destiny but Alastair had marked her as his long before the ink of fate had dried on the parchment of her destiny. She had became etched into his very soul bound in a way from which there was no escape for her, even if he wished it so. What would happen when her purity and innocence clashed violently with the cold, unyielding steel of his ruthlessness in a fierce dance of fate that she had never never asked for? Will she lost herself to the dark whims of his obsession, power and manipulation that was now wrapped in a cloak of love?
