Hollowness
Zayn once believed love would save him. Instead, betrayal destroyed everything. Forced into a marriage built on obsession and manipulation, Zayn finds himself trapped in a life where love becomes possession and survival comes at the cost of his own voice. As abuse, exploitation, and broken trust slowly consume him, he struggles to hold onto the fading pieces of the person he once was. Hollowness is a dark emotional romance about psychological trauma, painful love, silence, and survival-where the people claiming to care become the very ones who destroy. Because some wounds do not bleed. They hollow you instead. Excerpt: "It was never me. It was always about you. You were the only person in my life whom I loved with everything I had. But I was just one of your possessions which you can give away like charity." "Please no, don't say that. I truly loved you and only you. I am sorry that my decisions have made you suffer a lot. Please give me one chance and I will make it better." "Sorry, it is too late now. Things are not in our hands now. Damage is beyond any repair. You may go ahead and live as if I never existed in your life." Note: This is a work of fiction. Characters, events, and situations are entirely fictional. This story contains emotional and sensitive themes. Reader discretion is advised.Complete

Lilah
She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)Complete
