Addicted to His Cruelty

Summary

🩸 DESCRIPTION šŸ–¤ Riven Hale is eighteen, angry, and addicted to wanting the wrong things. He comes from nothing — a broken apartment, a mother who cleans other people’s homes, and a reputation built on violence and sharp words. At school, he’s feared. At night, he’s obsessed. The man he loves is untouchable. Lucien Crowe is thirty-one, a self-made billionaire with blood on his hands and a past no one survives knowing. Cold. Ruthless. Dangerous. When Riven confesses, Lucien rejects him without mercy — believing distance is the only way to protect them both. He’s wrong. Because obsession doesn’t fade when it’s denied. It festers. As drugs, manipulation, jealousy, and violence pull Riven deeper into the dark, Lucien’s enemies begin to notice what he never wanted to admit: the boy he pushed away is his greatest weakness. And when that weakness is threatened, Lucien is forced to cross a line he swore he never would again. This is not a love story about healing. It’s about late love, toxic devotion, and choosing damnation over distance.

Author Notes

Author Notes

Welcome.


This is my first novel, and it's a story I've been carrying with me for a long time. I began writing it in 2024, letting it grow quietly through drafts, edits, and moments of doubt. This year, I chose to stop waiting for the "right time" and binge-drop the story instead.


This novel is dark by design. It explores obsession, late love, power imbalance, moral corruption, and characters who are not meant to be role models. Their choices are often cruel, selfish, or destructive — and that is intentional. Nothing here is written to be idealized. It is meant to be unsettling, emotional, and honest.


Please read at your own pace, take breaks when needed, and don't feel pressured to continue if the themes become too heavy. Thank you for giving this story — and a first-time writer — your time.
