The Devil's Crybaby
Eliza Labelle had survived a shooting that should have killed her, but surviving turned out to be the beginning of her problems rather than the end. After waking in a hospital bed with a bullet wound and a government determined to bury the incident, she discovered that the man responsible had vanished behind the walls of a place most people only whispered about. While her family tried to push her back into her privileged city life, strange events and growing unease made it impossible for her to forget what happened. When she was suddenly taken from everything she knew and dragged beyond the safety of the world she had grown up in, Eliza found herself trapped in a brutal land ruled by old loyalties, hidden power structures, and people who lived by laws far different from those of the city. As she struggled to survive among dangerous strangers, she uncovered secrets that connected powerful families, forbidden territories, and a world that had been carefully hidden from ordinary people. The deeper she was pulled into that world, the harder it became to separate friend from enemy, truth from manipulation, and survival from sacrifice. What began as a fight to return home slowly became a journey that forced her to confront the darkest parts of human nature, the cost of loyalty, and the reality that some doors could never be closed once they were opened.
Bruised, Broken... Chosen
Her father thought he could cheat me. Borrow what wasn't his, disappear, and leave nothing but a trail of debt in his wake. Men like him never learn-there's always a cost, always someone left to bleed for their mistakes. He thought it would be him. Instead, it's her. His daughter. At first, she was nothing but a message. A way to make him suffer, even if he never came back to see it. I broke her down the way I break everything-piece by piece, scream by scream. I wanted her fear, her pain, the ruin in her eyes every time I came close. She hated me, and I fed on it. That's all I believed in: control, power, the reminder that I own what others abandon. But somewhere between her sobs and her defiance, she changed the rules. She fought me, and I should have killed her for it. Instead, I wanted more. She cried, and instead of silencing her, I listened. She looked at me, even in terror, and for the first time in my life I couldn't look away. I don't believe in love. I never have. Love is weakness, a lie people tell themselves before the knife comes out. But she... she's different. She's sharp where she should be soft. Brave when she should be broken. She makes me hunger in ways that no amount of blood or vengeance ever could. I meant to ruin her. To make her pay for the sins of her father. Now I want to claim her as mine. Not because of love-no, I don't use that word. I don't trust it. But because she drags something out of me I thought was dead. Something dangerous. She wasn't supposed to matter. But she does. And if I have to chain her, break her, and rebuild her until she finally sees me the way I see her, then so be it. She'll be my wife. My possession. My salvation. Even if I have to destroy her first.

Waiting for You Forever
She had it all-his love, his trust, his unwavering heart. But in a moment of weakness, she chose a path that shattered everything. Her betrayal wasn't just of a promise; it was of a soul deeply entwined with hers. When he discovered the truth, he left-not in anger, but in silence, carrying the pain like a wound too deep to ever heal. He never looked back, and he never returned. She begged for forgiveness, haunted by the weight of what she had done. Days turned into months, months into years, yet her heart remained chained to a hope that refused to die. Every knock at the door, every passing shadow stirred a flicker of belief-maybe today, he'll come back. But he never did. Now she lives with the ghost of her choices, trapped in an endless cycle of regret and longing. His absence echoes louder than any goodbye, and though the world moved on, she stood still-forever waiting for the love she lost, and the forgiveness that never came.
