Unexpected Consequences by MaddieWritesShorts
11 parts Ongoing Mature
[18+ You've been warned.] "So that's it? You're just going to walk away from this? From us?" His laugh is bitter, a far cry from the usual genuine sound I've grown used to. I take a step back, not liking how close he's gotten, and run a hand through my already messy hair. "What did you expect? That we could somehow make this work?" I desperately wanted that to be true, but everything was so damn confusing right now. I didn't know what the right thing was. What would my parents have done in this situation? "Whatever this is?" Mason steps forward, forcing me to take another step back until I hit the wall. He's too close-way too close. He leans in, his minty breath mixed with cologne brushing against my face. "This-whatever's between us-is just as real as everything else, whether you want to believe it or not." ___________________ Eighteen-year-old River Banks has survived the streets of Chicago by learning one hard truth: the only person she can count on is herself. Living in a run-down apartment with her shady uncle, River notices something is wrong when he starts disappearing for days after a night of fear. She suspects he's involved with dangerous people. Enter Mason O'Neal, a ruthless 20-year-old who inherited a black-market weapons empire from his father. No one dares cross him-except Jonathan Banks, River's uncle, who steals something that could destroy Mason's operation. Mason is ready to take Jonathan out, but when River gets caught in the middle, his plans take a turn. As danger closes in, an unexpected connection sparks between Mason and River-one that may change both their fates.

Cleo, a 19-year-old with a simple and routine life, has always avoided distractions. Her days revolve around work, eating, and sleep, leaving no time for friends, fun, or adventure. But when her best friend Lucy finally convinces her to step out of her comfort zone for just one night, Cleo reluctantly agrees, unaware that this decision will alter her life forever. That night, Cleo meets a man unlike anyone she's ever encountered-a man who captivates her in ways she didn't think possible. But what starts as intrigue soon spirals into a nightmare she couldn't have imagined in her worst dreams. Caught in a web of lies, manipulation, and forced submission, Cleo faces dangers no one should ever endure. Her struggle to reclaim her freedom will test her resilience, courage, and trust in herself. **Warning:** This story contains mature themes, including kidnapping and non-consensual acts, that may be triggering for some readers.
