"A red rose is valuable," he whispered, lightly fingering the flower's frail petals. "Soft, delicate, but deadly. Like the thorns."
He glanced up at me with those gorgeous grey eyes. Moving closer he took my hand within his own. "Like you."
I bit back a surprised gasp. It became difficult to breathe and my heart pounded loud and fast within my chest. Almost too painful to bear.
He unfurled my fisted hand and drew light circles on the center my palm. "Beautiful."
Placing the rose in the middle of my hand he closed my fingers around the stem. Mesmerised by the look on his face I didn't notice the trickle of blood running down my palm as the thorns bit into my flesh.
His eyes suddenly grew harsh. "And always cruel." He finished taking a step back. I opened my mouth but the words froze in my throat. He shook his head and walked back.
Away from me.
Leaving me with a single rose, dripping with my blood.

The Second Chance (Forbidden Romance)
"Will I ever find out why you call me Rose? That's not my name." I asked him playfully. "You are my "Rose". Beautiful and gentle to look at, but touching you hurts me." He answered seriously. "Why would it hurt you to touch me?" I asked him a little scared. "Because I know that when we are alone I can do it, but as soon as we appear in the light of the world, it becomes forbidden for me. And looking at someone who is forbidden to you without being able to touch them, hurts like hell."Lengkap
Changes
In a world where loyalty is a currency, betrayal as frequent as a blink of an eye. Weapon in trust lays, laced amongst the thorns of the rose, with your safety that could never be promised in its must. Then who could you rely on? Could you even trust yourself? Even if you walk away, turn a new page and leave it all behind. Could you resist... the thrill of the game, the verge between life and death that rests in your veins. Your control cracks the sandcastle you built, because no matter how far you run, the past will always hunt you at your will. And the time has finally arrived. For the world to see how exhausting is to be evil...Lengkap
Sorrowfully Used
I love you Rom, I love so much, you have become a part of me, without you I'm nothing.... nor I can think myself without you" I said so slowly but his smirk grew more, he stepped towards me, standing just right infront of me, I had to look up in his eyes, my heart was pounding He put his right hand on my left cheek.. cupping my half face and his other hand was on his pocket.. I melt on his touch closing my eyes.. he is what I need after coming back from that clinic.. he is my solace, he's the one who can keep me sane, keep me alive, my left hand automatically clutch his wrist which was on my face but his next words made me open my eyes as I frown "Wish I could say the same, love" He removed his hand and step back, putting it on his other pocket as he stood in his pride "What are you saying, Rom?" I couldn't breathe, my heart feels very heavy He chuckled and said "You think I love you? No, darling.. how can you think that"
The Mass Murderer Who Loved Me
"Please don't do this." I begged, as tears streamed down my face, making my mascara run. My eyes traveled from his face, that handsome boyish face, down to the floor. Down to the dead bodies. "Oh God," I choked, my life flashing before my eyes, as I felt his fingers slip from my shoulders down to the knife. He put it to my throat gently, so that he didn't cut it. Yet. "I'm sorry." He muttered. "Please...." I begged. "Please." His lips pressed against mine, and I shuddered against him. Dear God, Please don't let this happen. This is the story of how I met him. The story of how he stole my heart, just as carelessly as he stole peoples lives away from them. Maybe. Maybe not. When I think about it, I still smile. Even though I know the sad and terrible ending, I can't help but smile. He was my best friend. He was so loving. So caring. He taught me everything. But, he also destroyed everything. He was just like that. He was just the mass murder that loved me, and that's how I'll always remember him. I dare say, that's how I'll always cherish him.Lengkap
Lights. Camera. PDA. (HS // au)
"It's alright." He says. "Just act like you're in love with me." Let me get my shit together first, I think to myself. The small voice in my head makes me cringe and I have to remind myself to pull it together. "It's all about the mask." I bite my lip hard. My heart is pounding in my chest and I can feel it beating in my ear. "Sure." I mumble. "Alright, then." He takes my hand in his and smoothly intertwines his fingers through mine. My stomach twists into a knot as we prepare to step outside of the car. You can do this, Savannah. You can nail this. You have to. Just before we get out, I hear him whisper. "Lights.. Camera.. PDA."Lengkap
Shatterproof
Reaching my hand into the drawer, I felt around until my hand came into contact with the metal hilt. My fingers curled around the handle instinctively. I gripped the handle so hard it hurt. I could feel the tendons in my wrist snap as my knuckles turned white. I couldn't let him do that to her again. I just couldn't. I had to protect her. I couldn't just stand there still and do nothing forever. I had to act. I winced at the slight sound of the blade dragging against the wooden bottom of the drawer. Although it was more like a sibilant hiss, it sounded more like a large grating sound in my ears. My heart was pounding and my ears were ringing. I could feel my hand holding the blade tremble as I slowly drew it out of the drawer and held it to my side. I had to steel myself for my confrontation. I couldn't hide in the shadows any longer. I had to do something...anything. I couldn't be a bystander anymore. I couldn't bear that pain again. I didn't want it to be all my fault again. [Note: This is a collaborative work]Lengkap
The Prince's Assassin
The blade of my hidden knife stops just a few centimetres from the prince's warm skin of his neck. He lays there, eyes closed and rhythmic breathing. His defined jaw relaxed and his teeth barely showing behind his pink lips. I hear voices coming from the hallway. I glance up at the door then back to the sleeping Prince. The door handle rattles, the guards yell from behind the wall. I bite my lip, balancing the blade just on the skin of the prince's neck. The door bursts open just as I slip out of the bedroom window into the cool midnight, no evidence of my attempt to assassinate the prince. ~~~~~~~~~~ Trained Assassin, skilled in over 4 martial arts, specialised in weaponry and one on one combat... And I couldn't kill the prince. So my question is, what stopped me? ____________________________________ "My chest literally hurts.

Lost in Rose Empire
**Summary:** **Trapped in Alex's grasp, Rose trembled, her tear-streaked face betraying the desperation in her voice. "Please, Alex, leave me alone."** But Alex only watched her with cold amusement, drinking in the sight of her vulnerability. *Even now, she's breathtaking. Damn, her tears only make her more tempting.* He leaned in, his breath ghosting over her skin. "You look stunning with tears," he murmured, pressing her hand against him in a ruthless command. *Suck my dick, Rose, if you want your sister alive.* Disgust flared in her eyes as she yanked her hand away, but Alex was faster-pulling her back, her back flush against his chest. She struggled, but his grip was firm, his warmth unsettling. There was something about his touch, something raw and unspoken, that sent chills down her spine. Rose's voice wavered with hatred and regret. "I should've ended you when I had the chance." Alex chuckled, his lips grazing her cheek before licking away a tear. "Yeah, you should have. But you didn't. And now? Here we are." His touch burned against her waist, igniting something she refused to acknowledge. She despised how well he knew her, how easily he unraveled her defenses. "You can fight me all you want," Alex's voice was a dark promise. "But we both know this thing between us isn't going anywhere." Rose's breath hitched-rage, fear, something else clawing at her. For a fleeting second, she almost gave in. Almost. But the thought of him winning snapped her back to reality. "I won't be like this," she spat, her defiance slicing through the tension. "I won't let you win." Yet, as Alex's grip tightened, a sinister smile played on his lips. *We'll see.*
