"Reality is the ability to exist in one's mind"
Hard. Cold. Emotionless. This is what Emily Stark was. This is how she had to be. This is how she got paid. She had to be this way, it was required in the world of hers. A world where love was forbidden.
Emily Starks was a reporter. She talked about events, heartbreaking events that even the strongest person would cry about. And she did. But in the safety and loneliness of her studio apartment. All she wanted was to scream at the unfeeling people she met everyday. What was the point? What was the point to narrate these events back to those who lost something or someone they loved? Was it to hurt them more? To make them examples? Examples of what happens when you love? Emily wanted to breakdown and ruin the perfect image she held. But in a society where your image is most important, you can't afford to breakdown. You can't afford to feel. You can't afford happiness.

**"And Suddenly, All Her Demons Fell Silent on His Lap"** *"You would be the ruin of me, wouldn't you?" she asked, her voice trembling, a crack in her cold façade.* *"Yes," he answered, his gaze steady. "Does that scare you?"* Once the heartthrob of millions, Kim Taehyung's world turned into a living nightmare. Death threats from the shadows dragged him and his bandmates from the dazzling stage lights into a darkness they never saw coming. What began as a sinister game of survival thrust Taehyung into a realm of chaos-a world of cold steel, gunpowder, and blood-soaked vengeance. There, he met her. Venom. A name that sent chills through the underworld. Ruthless, unrelenting, and devoid of emotion, she was a monster who thrived on fear and destruction. Her rule was simple: *Never love. Love makes you weak. Love kills.* She had made herself a weapon, unyielding to everything and everyone-until she met him. What began as a fleeting encounter under the Paris rain spiraled into a collision of two worlds that should have never crossed. For the first time, Venom's dead heart betrayed her. His light was too blinding, his purity too tempting, and his presence too dangerous. Taehyung yearned to unravel her secrets, to embrace the darkness she embodied. And Venom? She wanted nothing more than to destroy the feelings that tethered her to him. But love isn't soft. It's a war-a brutal, fiery dance where every step drags them closer to ruin. *"Tell me every terrible thing you've ever done,"* he whispered, his voice trembling with a raw tenderness that pierced her armor. *"And let me love you anyway."* For him, she was worth burning the world to the ground. For her, loving him was the one sin she couldn't forgive herself for. In a world where enemies lurked in every shadow and death was a constant companion, their love became the most dangerous game of all. This is not your typical romance. It's raw. It's violent. It's love in the midst of war.
The experiment.
They used my vulnerability against me. They used that weapon, to make me accept their stupid idea. And I of course, accepted it, I didn't even know what they were going to do.

They drag you around with metal chains, hit you and turn you into a experiment. But I had enough of the tugging, the clawing, the moaning, the crying and pleading for them to stop, but simply feeding them with our pain. They turned me into something, that neither do they know what I am. Their afraid of me, of my reflexes, my strength. I killed a lot of them. They say I have a cold heart, that I don't feel nothing.

The Necklace (Completed)
"Annabeth, I-" "SHUT UP!" I yell. I take the ring off and throw it at him. "I hate you! Do you know that? I hate you. I will never marry you. Ever. Why do you think I would marry you?" I start crying. "I don't want to be with you. I don't want to see you again. I don't even like you!" I look at the ground as tears overtake me. How could he do that?

When Skies Align
She scowls. He smiles. She glowers. He laughs. She's cold. He's open. She hides with hate. He hides with jokes. Polar opposites. That doesn't stop them from loving each other. People say that some stars shine brighter than others. Leo Caldas knew that quote by heart. Being in a family of nine was hard. And he was the youngest. You would think, "Wow, the youngest? Lucky!" No. NOT lucky. Leo hated being the youngest. Not only was he bullied by his older siblings, he was shoved around like the middle child. His parents forgot he existed. They looked at him like, "Oh. He's still here." The worst part? They were divorced. Which meant he was always tossed around back and forth to each guardian, just waiting to be loved! His other siblings- might he add were ALWAYS given attention- had found their home. Some of his siblings stayed with his mother. And the rest stayed with his father. Both permanent. And Leo? He appreciates the concern. He went from place to place. He just couldn't find his home. What did he do to cope? He smiled. Instead of moping and sulking and doing what everyone else would have done, Leo Caldas smiled through it. It was all he knew how to do. "Pain is the best teacher". Jade Skai hated that quote with all her heart. Partly, because it was true. Pain was the best teacher. Fear coming in halfway. What was worse? When pain decided to side with fear and work together. She had felt both. Multiple times. And the feeling sucked. Jade was not your normal happy sunshiny girl. No. She was cold, having a snappy tongue and a heartless nature. That was her father's fault. Her mother had died when Jade was born. And it tore her father apart. He now sat at home. Drinking alcohol anytime she saw him. To add to the trauma, her father also beat her. Almost every night. For years since she turned ten. She was a very troubled girl. It wasn't her fault.![Searching for you [Original Book]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/157919306-256-k744273.jpg)
