Loveanddestruction cerita

She watched him from the shadows, every glance a silent confession. Amara Lockwood knew the danger of wanting him - her professor, her obsession, the man who haunted her thoughts. But like a moth drawn to a flame, she couldn't stop herself. His secrets were darker than hers, and together, they were a storm waiting to unravel everything. In the quietest corners of their souls, they were both broken, bound by a love that was never fucking meant to be.

In a world of wealth, power, and ruthless ambition, Shaden Vale and Arisella Hartley are sworn enemies-two dominant heirs from rival families. Forced into an uneasy alliance, their mutual hatred soon turns to a dangerous attraction. As their rivalry escalates, they each scheme to destroy the other, leaving a trail of broken lives in their wake. But in their battle for dominance, they may just destroy themselves first. Destructive Desires is a dark romance of power, pride, and a love so twisted it may ruin them both.

~~~ "Please, I'm begging you, don't leave me," I plead, feeling tears building up inside me. "We were doing so good, please." He doesn't even look at me. "I love you." He shifts uncomfortably and finally looks at me. His shoulders tense, and I can see his red eyes blinking back tears. "You. Do. Not." He cuts himself off with a sob. He's breathing so heavily as he rushes closer to me. His hands reach to grab my face in his palms. "You don't..." He stops mid-sentence again, his eyes shutting. "But I do," I cry out as I put my hands over his. "I love you..." And then the realization hits me. His eyes open, and I no longer see the hurt he's been carrying. The tears that had been forming in his eyes are now gone, while mine stream down my face. "We are destroying each other, Aveline." His soft hands shift to my chin, harshly lifting my head to force me to look at him. "Look at you." His grip tightens, and his other hand slips to my throat, holding me in place. "When was the last time you were sober? Hm?" That question feels like a stab to my heart. I don't even remember. "You're a human wreck, Aveline," he continues. "You're nothing but a crackhead who doesn't know when enough is enough." And that hurts. "So please, either get your shit together or stop taking me down with you." His grip around my neck loosens. And that's when I realize what's happening. I fell in love with the numbness of drugs more than I ever loved him. ~~~ Aveline had always been the good girl-until Evander, the drug dealer with a dangerous smile, saw through her façade. The thrill of doing things she shouldn't was intoxicating, and with him, she felt alive in ways that terrified her. She thought she could control it. She thought she could control him. But the line between love and destruction had already blurred... and falling for him might be the most dangerous thing she'd ever do. ~~~ This is my first book I'm trying to write, so please bare with me. I'm gonna try to post 2x/a wee
