**EDITING** "See? Isn't it beautiful?" she whispered, breaking the comfortable silence between us, her voice soft and full of awe. "Yeah." i whispered, my gaze still locked on her. "It really is." She looked at me, a puzzled expression on her face. "You're not even looking at the sunrise," I smiled, gently brushing my thumb over her cheek. "I know." • • • Emmalyn Ansley may seem like the epitome of sweetness and humor, but beneath her warm exterior lies a world of pain that no one sees-not even those closest to her. Despite her outward strength and fierce independence, the reality is far more complex, as her body bears the hidden scars of a life that has been anything but kind. On the other hand, Mateo Ellis is the embodiment of cold indifference. Hardened by a life devoid of love, he presents himself as a ruthless, self-serving young man who trusts no one beyond his tight-knit circle of friends. He's never known what it feels like to be loved, and he has no desire to change that. But when these two seemingly incompatible souls collide, the result is anything but predictable. Will their meeting lead to mutual destruction, or will it spark something neither of them has ever experienced-something that could change their lives forever? 🏅#1 in Mental Health 14.07.2024 🏅#1 in Abuse 15.10.2024 🏅#1 in Addiction 05.02.2025 🏅#1 in Trauma 15.10.2024 🏅#1 in Fighting 25.10.2024 🏅#1 in Fighter 21.10.2025 🏅#1 in Panic attacks 15.10.2024 🏅#1 in Shooting 27.02.2025 🏅#1 in Sad story 02.06.2025 🏅#2 in Depression 06.11.2024 🏅#2 in Overprotective 06.11.2024 🏅#2 in Bad boy 05.02.2025 🏅#2 in Loss 05.03.2025 🏅#3 in Sunshine 09.10.2024

"You're a spoiled, ungrateful brat." Asher snarled, turning around so suddenly that I nearly fell from the sheer momentum. His blue eyes blazed with an icy fire as they narrowed into slits. "Why are you so ignorant?" He took a large step towards me as his words rocketed around the room. I bit my trembling lip with all the strength in the world. No freaking way. Absolutely not. I refused to cry in front of him. "Can't you see that I care?" His tone so dangerously quiet, so very low. I pushed myself back further into the stony wall, hoping it would swallow me whole. "Is that not enough?" His eyes dropped to my lips, flickering back up as quickly as they had fallen. All I could see was him, all I could feel was him. He had captured every single one of my senses. And I hated it. He made me feel things that I sure as heck didn't deserve to feel. "To hell with the rest of them." He growled, "you're mine." ------- Ariella Gates is the daughter of one of the richest men in the world. As someone who is set to inherit billions, she's never had to lift a finger.

"He was bad. He smoked, he broke the law, he drove too fast for his own good. He didn't care because no one taught him how to. But when it came to her, he wanted to be the best man.

Orelia Foster never imagined she'd find a way out. She never believed that one day, someone would come and free her from the man who'd held her captive for most of her life. A man who saw her only as a means to make money. That's how some foster parents are-uncaring about the health or well-being of the children they take in. Money, money, money. That's all they crave. That's all they'll ever crave. But Orelia didn't care where she ended up. As long as she had her ballet and the melodies only she could hear to fill her mind. Then, one day, everything changes. A woman arrives to take her away to a secluded house deep in the mountains. A place where a boy lives-always silent. Always watching. Always listening to whatever plays in his headphones, a cigarette always resting between his full lips. A boy who's just like her. Shuffled from one foster home to another, as if they were nothing. She's intrigued. Orelia has never felt this kind of intrigue before. Not like this. But he's mysterious... and oh so hauntingly beautiful. ❀❀❀ Started: November 2nd 2022 Finished: Ongoing <33
