Hi, this is my first story. Hope you guys like it.
I built a life for myself, a routine where I wake up breathing hard and drenched in a cold sweat running down my back and my hair soaking wet, from a nightmare leaving me shaking to my core as fear gripped me with it's ever tightening bony hand snaking around my neck suffocating me and leaving me breathless and forever looking over my shoulder.
Will Elise's past ever stop haunting her will she ever be able to lead a normal life? Will she forever be on the move to out run her past? Will she be hunted her whole life? Will she ever find the light?

Room Sixteen
✧𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 '𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐬𝐢𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐧'✧ (18+)(; -Book #1 of the (Psycho series) ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• "Fuck," Soren whispers under his breath, he licks his lips and watches me like I'm not real. "Can I-" he stretches out his arms but I don't let him finish his sentence because I jump onto him like a little kid after her daddy comes back from work. His arms brace me hard and I take and feel every moment of that hug we share. I think it lasted longer then I intended it to but I don't regret anything about it. His scent, his arms and the way he's holding me so tightly like he's trying to memorize this for later. "Oh fuck, I love you," he mumbles into my hair and deep into my neck. Tears stream out of me, a lot of different emotions mix up into my system and I just can't help but cry out of happiness of finally getting to hug him and talk to him so close like this. "Don't cry baby, I got you now." He rocks me in his arms like I'm his little baby and takes me to his uncomfortable looking bed. I get why he did that, maybe I am so heavy that he can't keep me up for so long. I pull back and try to get off him but he doesn't allow me to do that. "You're staying right here, Iris." He wraps his arms around me securely and that makes me smile finally. "There's my pretty wife," he says and as if I wasn't already smiling big that got me smiling ever harder. Fuck his charm. #1 in leadersComplete
In my next life
"I didn't kill her!" I screamed, my voice tearing through the air. Five years ago, I married Aiden - my father's choice, not mine. I never loved him. He was cold, distant, and came home only to remind me how trapped I was. So I invited my best friend, Sofia, to keep me company. I thought she was helping me survive my marriage - until she started dressing up for my husband, whispering that I should divorce him, and avoiding my eyes. Then came his mother's birthday - the night everything shattered. A push. A scream. A body tumbling down the stairs. His mother - gone. And every gaze turned to me. Before I could speak, Aiden's men beat me to the ground. He looked at me with hate and grief I'll never forget. "You wanted a divorce so bad you killed my mother?" But it wasn't me. Later, Sofia appeared, smiling through her tears, a bowl of poison in her hands. "You always had everything, Lilly. Now lose it all." She forced it down my throat and screamed, "She killed herself!" when Aiden rushed in. As I choked on blood and betrayal, I realized the truth too late - my best friend was my ruin. If only I could return... just once more

There is a reason the dream life is but a dream. And for Marlena Megara Murphe, it is a nightmare she can't wake from. Forced to forever perform for men she doesn't love, wear a crown she doesn't want, constantly stared at with no privacy... All of those things constitute the price of beauty. But can she break out of her cage? Whose help will she need? And can she pay them back without using herself as payment? The life of the most perfect, coveted man is riddled with negativity. Being well-connected, rich and powerful isn't exactly easy, especially getting there. Forced to be a role model without a proper one for himself, he lives an aimless, stiff life. Stalkers in every corner, brutalized into a shell of himself, hollowed out by the man he should've looked up to. What to do other than control what he couldn't, what he was trained to? Michelangelo Leonardo Orleans suffers for the many things he possesses, with no identity for himself other than the golden eyes beyond which none see. Does anyone new love him for who he is, or what he has? He doesn't know. Could anyone love him, of all people? He didn't think so. The life of the perfect, the coveted is difficult. But adding love and illegality in the equation blows things out of proportion. How do you love someone's entire being when no one did the same for you? You probably can't, but just maybe you can. But when they do find a way, life finds another to make it difficult, when their entire lives are upended and invalidated. What to do but fight for meaning? What to do but carve out meaning of your own? Will they even be able to pull through? Will it get too tiring, too hard to keep going? Or will they succeed and make the impossible possible?
The Rajpoot's Obsession
A dark romance story. ......... The alley reeked of damp stone and shadows. Her breaths came in sharp, ragged gasps, her heart slamming against her ribs like a desperate drum. She ran, but every step was predicted, every move hunted. And then he was there. Before she could scream, his body slammed into hers, pressing her against the cold wall. The night wrapped around them, but she felt the heat radiating off him like fire. His eyes...dark, endless, merciless...pierced through her, stripping every layer of defiance bare. "Don't... ever... run from me again," he growled, low and vicious, a predator savoring the hunt. "You belong to me. you are mine. only fucking mine" "Who said?I am not yours. " she protested. he chuckled and whispered "Said the way you breathe when I am this close to you. said the way you stare at my lips and said the way you are not pushing me now when I am not even holding you tightly." "You are my obsession....and when a mafia is obsessed with something it's so dangerous my rose...."![FOREVER IN MY EMBRACE [FOREVER SERIES] ✅](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/375553268-256-k503085.jpg)

His Ruthless Temptation
I saw her long before she saw me. She didn't know then that her fate had already been sealed, that every step she took was drawing her closer to me. Closer to what she would become. There was something in her-something fragile, something wild. A fear she tried to hide, wrapped in defiance and confidence. It was intoxicating, watching her, knowing that no one else could see what I saw. No one else could feel the pull like I did. The slow, deliberate unraveling of her world as it would soon be tethered to mine. I felt my heart beat once, hard and fast. It was the only signal I needed. She would be mine-not in some fleeting, hollow way. No. I would strip away every shield, every defense, until she was laid bare, body and soul. And when she looked at me for the first time, I knew. She was already mine. A. Trigger Warning ⚠️: This story contains intense and graphic content, exploring dark and disturbing themes that may be triggering for some readers.
