The devil you know

Carla

The Roth family seemed to have it all: the perfect house, the perfect life in the quiet suburbs. But Carla, their adopted daughter, was about to pull back the curtain. A mysterious note changed everything, hinting her childhood friend was alive and revealing a devastating truth: Wendy Roth wasn't her real mother. This wasn't just a family secret; it was a wound, fresh and bleeding. Carla's search for answers led her to Tiffany, her biological mother, and into a world where Wendy and Marty Roth weren't just parents, but cold, calculating figures orchestrating a criminal enterprise. The Roths were deep in the game, laundering money for a cartel, climbing higher and higher. Carla watched, horrified, as their suburban facade crumbled. She saw them kill a man in cold blood, their faces calm, almost detached. The sweet girl she was began to crack, replaced by a fierce, defiant spirit. Carla found her own cunning, her own strength, refusing to be a victim. Her defiance brought her face-to-face with The Architect, a ruthless crime boss, his power radiating from his lavish villa on the Spanish Mediterranean coast. He saw something in Carla. As Carla started to navigate this treacherous world, she often sought out Tiffany. Tiffany was a seasoned survivor, her words sharp, her advice rooted in a lifetime of navigating the criminal underworld, her ancient family feud with The Roths simmering beneath the surface. But Carla's rise ignited a dangerous fire in Wendy. Seeing her daughter not as a child to protect, but as a rival, Wendy descended into a chilling madness, determined to control Carla or destroy her. Marty, caught between his wife's escalating fury and his daughter's fierce independence, tried to hold things together, his every move a desperate gamble. Then came the bombshell: Carla was pregnant with The Architect's child. And just as this life-changing news hit, The Architect was arrested in a massive, public raid. A power vacuum. A sudden, dangerous void. Instead of crumbling, Carla seized it. With her brother Rob by her side, no longer a naive kid but a loyal, partner, she began to build. She looked at the empire The Architect left behind, and she saw not a criminal enterprise, but the foundations of something new. Her vision was clear: to take the dirty money, the illicit power, and scrub it clean. To make it all legitimate. Carla offered Wendy and Marty an exit, a quiet, comfortable life away from the chaos they had created. No prison, no grand confrontation, just a firm, undeniable dismissal. They had built the cage, but Carla was the one stepping free, leaving them to grapple with the silence of a life stripped of power. The future is hers, a legacy built on the very darkness she had once fought to escape.

The seventh princess

Crown Princess Isla's life takes a terrifying turn when a bizarre urge compels her to steal iron at the market, triggering unsettling dreams, a disturbing connection to metal, and a public scandal. Her family, horrified and confused, confines her to her room. There, a monstrous transformation begins: Isla's body twists into a wolf-like creature, driven by primal instincts and a chilling connection to iron. As Isla grapples with her horrifying new reality, her sister Anne, fueled by ambition and exploiting the public's fear, plots to seize the throne, even resorting to supernatural means to undermine Isla and marry Prince Caius. Escaping her confinement under the full moon's influence, Isla, now a terrifying werewolf, unleashes chaos upon the city. Amidst the terror, she encounters Kael, an ordinary man haunted by the same curse that afflicts her, a descendant of the woman who cursed the royal line generations ago. They find solace and love in their shared monstrous fate. The curse's origin is revealed: a vengeful act targeting the seventh princess, compelling her to worship the curser and bring her iron. United in their shared affliction, Isla and Kael terrorize the city together, their love story unfolding against a backdrop of fear and destruction. Their reign of terror is ultimately brought to an end when the terrified populace captures them, leaving the future of the cursed kingdom uncertain. The story explores themes of transformation, betrayal, the destructive nature of curses, and an unlikely love born in the heart of a nightmare. Princess Isla Princess Isla possessed hair as dark as a raven's wing, often styled in intricate braids adorned with delicate jewels befitting her station. Her complexion was notably pale, a contrast to the vibrancy of her dark hair, lending her an ethereal quality. She was of a slender build, moving with a natural grace that endeared her to the court and the common folk alike. Known throughout the kingdom for her gentle spirit and compassionate heart, Isla was deeply beloved by her people. Her kindness extended to all, from the lowliest servant to the most esteemed noble, and her genuine empathy shone through in her interactions. This inherent goodness made the sudden, inexplicable darkness that began to consume her all the more tragic and bewildering to those who knew her. Her role as the heir to the throne placed a significant weight of expectation upon her young shoulders, a burden she had always carried with grace and a sincere desire to serve her kingdom. Her relationships within the royal family were generally warm, though tinged with the formality expected of royalty. Her burgeoning connection with Prince Caius held the promise of a political alliance and perhaps a personal happiness she had yet to fully explore. The terrifying transformation that gripped her threatened to shatter not only her physical form but also the very essence of her kind and gentle nature. Anne Anne was a striking figure within the court, immediately recognizable by her fiery red hair, a trait she shared with Queen Isolde. This shared physical characteristic, however, extended beyond mere appearance. Anne possessed a stern demeanor and a sharp intellect, her ambition burning as brightly as her vibrant locks. She was known for her unwavering focus and her keen understanding of courtly politics, often maneuvering behind the scenes to advance her own standing. While not of royal blood, Anne held a position of influence, perhaps as a lady-in-waiting or a trusted advisor, leveraging her intelligence and determination to gain favor. Her relationship with Princess Isla was likely complex, potentially tinged with envy or a competitive spirit given Isla's position as heir. Her interactions with the King and Queen would have been carefully calculated, a blend of respect and subtle manipulation aimed at furthering her own goals. The emergence of the curse within Isla presented Anne with unforeseen opportunities and challenges, potentially shifting the power dynamics within the court in ways she might seek to exploit. King Theron King Theron, despite the passage of years, remained a formidable presence, his rule still carrying considerable weight and inspiring a healthy dose of fear throughout the kingdom. Though age had begun to etch lines upon his face and perhaps slow his gait, his eyes still held a piercing intensity, capable of commanding attention and quelling dissent with a single glance. He possessed a regal bearing, accustomed to absolute authority, and his pronouncements were treated as law. His love for his kingdom was undeniable, yet it was often expressed through a stern adherence to tradition and a fierce protection of the royal lineage's honor. His relationship with Princess Isla, while paternal, was also shaped by the expectations he held for his heir. Her perceived transgression brought forth a volcanic anger, fueled by a deep-seated fear of scandal and the tarnishing of his family
