Hey, my gorgeous sinners! This is your Author Lavz.

I live in my own gloriously delusional world, where my friends have learned that the only way to shut me up is to make me write these fucked up stories. And honestly? Best decision ever. Now I get to pour all my twisted thoughts into words and ruin your sanity while I'm at it.

Welcome to the BLOODSTAINED VERSE.

Yeah, you read that right. If the name didn't clue you in, I will. The books in this universe are fucked up and beyond repair. And they'll mess with your mind just like they're messing with mine.

The characters? Oh they're not just mad and crazy. Those words are too less for them. They're walking, talking disasters wrapped in sin and chaos and I fucking love every second of it.

I don't write fairy tales and my characters aren't saints. So, at some point you're gonna question their choices. Trust me, I do too. evil laugh.

So, if you're here for morally pure, holier than thou heroes and heroines, so honey, this is your cue to leave before shit gets too dark. Because I'll tell you right now, no one talks shit about my characters. They're the LOML. Period.

English is not my first language, so can find a little typos somewhere. But I work my ass off to give you the best version possible.

And listen up, If I ever disappear halfway through this book, just know I didn't abandon you, babes. Either life decided to fuck me harder than the MMC in my books or I'm buried under the crushing weight of reality, but don't worry, I always come back.

This book doesn't promote these warnings rather, it dares to show the madness, darkness and consequences that often hide behind closed doors in society.

If you're someone who seeks softness in fiction, this might not be for you. But if you're here for the raw, the unhinged and the unapologetically broken stuff.

Welcome to the chaos

If even one of these triggers makes you uncomfortable, this is your last chance to exit. Because trust me- I mean the trigger warnings.

This is a DARK ROMANCE. So expect all the fucked up, twisted and sinful stuff that comes with it.

No other woman drama. No cheating. So breathe easy babes, you're safe here💋

And plagiarism? Don't even think about it.

You know that feeling when you pour your heart into a school project and some sneaky classmate steals it and claims it as their own? I've been there and it sucks. So, please respect my efforts.

Plot? Check.

Toe-curling smut? Double check.

A wild ride that'll leave you breathless? Fuck yes.

Buckle up, darlings, you won't be disappointed. Love ya!

Also I will write whenever I feel like writing, so please don't curse me if sometime the update is delayed, because I feel demotivated very easily.. so please be sweet to me and we'll have a beautiful journey together.
