Ulyana

Ulyana

A rose among thorns perfectly describes Ulyana Vasily’s life. Orphaned at just four years old after witnessing the brutal murder of her parents, Ulyana was raised by her grandfather, Nikolai Vasily, a globally respected business tycoon and one of the most feared Mafia figures in the Underworld. Under his care, she grew up between two worlds: luxury and violence, prestige and power. To the public, she is elegant, intelligent, and untouchable. Behind closed doors, she is the infamous “Mafia Princess,” shaped by trauma, loyalty, and the ruthless empire that raised her. But beneath Ulyana’s carefully controlled life lies one constant source of comfort: Hak Volkov. Silent, dangerous, and fiercely loyal, Hak has spent years at Ulyana’s side as both her protector and her refuge from the violent world surrounding them. Their relationship was never built through grand confessions, but through quiet moments: moonlit conversations on empty balconies, rain soaked escapes through the city streets, and the unspoken understanding that no matter how far he disappeared into the shadows, he would always return to her. Raised in the brutal depths of the Underworld after being orphaned young, Hak was shaped by violence long before he became a man. Under the guidance of his ruthless family, he learned how to survive by becoming invisible within the chaos. While others chased status openly, Hak built power in silence. By eighteen, he had already become one of the most feared and influential figures operating behind the scenes of Silvercrown’s criminal world. Few people know he truly exists. To most, Hak Valkov is only a rumour whispered through the Underworld. Then there is Rowan Volkov; Hak’s young maternal uncle and the man the city knows far too well. Cold, calculating, and dangerously charismatic, Rowan inherited control of the Volkov empire after his father’s untimely death, taking the reins of both the family’s legitimate business empire and its deep Underworld ties at an age far too young for the burden. Since then, he has spent years locked in a bitter rivalry with Nikolai Vasily, Ulyana’s grandfather, as the two powerful patriarchs fought for dominance over Silvercrown from opposite sides of an uneasy peace. Unlike Hak, Rowan does not hide in the shadows. He commands attention wherever he goes. And despite his ruthless reputation, Rowan slowly reveals a side of himself few ever see: patient, intelligent, deeply lonely beneath the weight of leadership, and unexpectedly gentle with Ulyana. What begins as political obligation gradually becomes something far more dangerous as he begins to open his heart to her. But the fragile peace holding Silvercrown together is beginning to fracture. Rival factions, cartel influence, and decades of bloodshed threaten to plunge the seaside city into chaos, forcing the Vasily and Volkov families toward a desperate alliance. Peace comes with one condition: A marriage powerful enough to unite the two bloodlines. Ulyana is chosen as the bride. The problem is that she is promised not to Hak, the man who has quietly held her heart for years, but to Rowan, the uncle determined to keep both their families from destroying each other. Caught between duty and desire, Ulyana finds herself trapped between two men from the same bloodline: a longstanding love built in silence and shadows, and a new, unexpected love slowly blooming in the light. As political tensions rise and the Underworld shifts beneath them, Ulyana, Hak, and Rowan are forced into an impossible situation where loyalty, love, and power collide. Each choice threatens to destroy the fragile peace holding Silvercrown together: and no matter who Ulyana chooses, someone she loves will inevitably be left behind.

Until July

Until July

It all began one late Winter but ended only months later when Summer came around. When Briella's boyfriend left for University, he left her with words that rang in her head. But it was weeks later that his words lost their true meaning. All it took was one phone call for it all to break into pieces... He broke up with her. Losing her faith in love, Briella doesn't want to fall head over heels again. She managed to live by her words for a few weeks. But one day, whilst in a hurry to class, Briella crashed into someone in the hallway... It was a guy. He was tall, handsome, blonde... Though the thought of this may come across as cliché, it is inevitable to think that something may happen between the two. But they only have until July to find out... *EXTRACT FROM THE BOOK* It was Valentines Day, both Briella and Nadia went out to the nearby dance that was held every year for Valentines Day. "Can you remind me of the reason for why exactly we are here, Nadia? Because, from what I can remember, we weren't asked out for by anyone!". "Sure, we have still come here, regardless of whether or not we were asked out or not. Besides, who knows? We might find someone tonight! I am sure that there are many lonely souls, just like us, out and about. Blending in with the crowd," Nadia replied. Little to Briella's knowledge, Nadia was right. "May I ask, what's such a beautiful lady like yourself doing all alone on Valentines Day?" A deep voice caught Briella's attention. Turning around, she saw a tall, handsome guy facing her. A small smile stretched across his lips. "I don't really have a Valentine this year... In fact, I don't even know why I agreed to come here, but hey, here I am..." Briella replied. She was just about to thank him for his compliment when suddenly his voice was heard once again. "Wait, like no Valentine... at all?". Briella shook her head as a reply. "Nope.". "Well..." he began. "Perhaps... I can change that. What do you say?". "What are you implying by that?". "Well...". He bowed down right before her. "Would you like to dance with me?... I'd like to be your Valentine this year.". That Valentines night was when Briella met her boyfriend, Dylan, and instantly fell in love with him.
