Blood & Love by allyouirthukenRUE

This is a tale steeped in moral questions, unpredictable characters, and the raw instinct to survive. Beneath the surface lies the true face of human nature - where love can be twisted, trust shattered, and survival demands everything.

TRAPPED IN HIS EYES by PraiseAjibola3

Nobody ever thinks their life will shatter in an instant-until it does. Not at first. You wake up, you go through the motions, and you trust the people around you. You laugh, you cry, you love. You never stop to wonder if the hands you hold today will be the same ones that destroy you tomorrow. I never did. I never questioned the warmth in his smile, the strength in his presence, the way he stood by my side like a shadow I could always rely on. I thought I had finally found someone who understood me, someone who didn't see me as an outsider. Someone I called a brother. But trust is a dangerous thing. It blinds you. It makes you miss the signs staring right at you. Because the moment I saw the truth- I realized I had been holding the devil's hand all along. #5 Survivor #36 Obsession
