But instead of anger, her lips curved into a mischievous smile. "At least you feel something for me. And something is always better than nothing, my Love." Her voice was soft, almost dreamy, as though hatred itself was a form of intimacy for her. With that, she turned her back to him, still smiling faintly, and drifted into sleep. He stared at her in disbelief, his chest rising and falling with unspoken emotions. ✿ ✯ ✿ He was everything, she wasn't.

What started as arrogance, soon turns into obsession - the kind, that blurs the line between love and possession, desire and destruction. Now trapped in Anaisha's twisted world of passion, power, and control, Adhrit must face a terrifying truth - love isn't always tender, and some cages are built with affection, instead of iron. Will he survive her madness? Or will he end up loving the very reason for his misery? ✿ ✯ ✿ Thankyou for giving this story a chance!

Zoe Adam was a master at pretending. At eighteen, she'd perfected the art of silence, smiling when expected, nodding at the right moments, keeping her secrets tucked away in her heart. It was safer that way. With three siblings, a chaotic dysfunctional Latin household, and parents who wore kindness like a mask, Zoe learned early that love could sting just as easily as it could soothe. Her mother could call her mi vida in one breath, then leave bruises seen and unseen in the next. Her father? He floated in and out, too wrapped in his own storms to notice the ones he left behind. None knew anything. her sisters who witnessed everything but didn't say anything, had their own shields. Not her brother, who tried to be the hero but never saw what needed saving. Zoe kept everything locked inside her feelings, her loneliness, her hunger, her ache, her need until even she forgot what it felt like to be full. Then came Hayden Reid. Nineteen, half-Italian and Puerto Rican, . He moved to London that summer, taking the flat right next door. To most, he was just the new guy with the sharp jaw, quiet hazel eyes, and that permanent don't-get-too-close look. But to Zoe, he was more than that. He was her brother's best friend. The boy who used to tease her when they were kids visiting Italy. The one who disappeared after his parents split and reappeared years later with more muscle, and a haunted look she couldn't stop staring at. Hayden had his own shadows. His past was littered with broken things promises, people, places he no longer called home. Coming back to London was supposed to be a reset, not a reunion. But fate had other plans for him. Now, he lives just a few steps from Zoe's window. Too close to ignore, too far to touch. And despite the years, the distance, and the damage they see each other in a way no one else does. Two hearts with locked doors. Two people who never meant to collide again.

Society and its opinions never mattered to her. She lived on her own terms. Then there's Ishaan Kashyap-everything Aradhya wasn't. Quiet, shy, and an overthinker who avoided attention because the world never missed a chance to make him feel like he wasn't enough. In a society that expected boys to be fearless and loud, Ishaan simply... felt too much. His only escape was his Bholenath, his books, and the silence he slowly learned to call home.

Unfortunately for him, Maitri Chaubey had made it her life's mission to prove that his so-called perfection was nothing more than a delusion. Six teenagers. Six different personalities. Six imperfect families. A journey that begins with strangers, grows into an unbreakable friendship, and slowly blossoms into a love so devoted that they refuse to let the world touch it. 🫀🖤🌙

I like the paring of Klaus and Katherine. Because I am adding an original character, I will also be adding more to the plot to make the story more dramatic and longer because the story isn't just about Katherine and klaus's slow burn romance. So it's basically going to be a while until we get to the romance, but it will be worth the wait. I will also not be fully following the shows timeline. I'm just writing for fun. Also, this story will have no smut it in, and yes, this is my third time trying to write this story. Trigger warning for: Sucide, graphic physical violence, and self-harm.
