Cold Water
[BWWM] I was only twelve years old when the world turned cold. The day my mom died in that car accident, I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my heart. My dad, who had always been my hero, suddenly became a stranger, filled with rage and blame. He couldn't see that I was hurting, too; he only saw me as a reminder of his loss. The accusations cut deep. He said it was my fault for being there, for not doing something to save her. For being the reason she was in the car in the first place. In the years that followed, things only got worse. The abuse started gradually-a harsh word here, a shove there-but it escalated, leaving scars that I carried long after the physical pain faded. I was drowning in my own despair, struggling to keep my head above water while my father's anger raged like a storm around me. I only had a break from his anger when I started living with Aunt Dina-my mom's older sister. Well, that was because she found me nearly dead on my bed after I took a dozen pills. I was tired of living. I had hit rock bottom. The harsh whispers that followed me around and the stares at school. I pretended not to notice, like it didn't bother me. But it did. I was alone. Then came Athalia, a ray of sunshine cutting through my darkness. With her, I felt something I hadn't felt in years-happiness. She became my light through the darkness and my lifeline. ••••••••••• ● Warnings ⚠️ ~ Mention of suicide ~ Anxiety attacks ~ Rape attempt ~ Mention of self-harm ~ DepressionComplete

DIVINE LOVE
Hello everyone.... So this is my first story content that I write. This story is totally based on fiction...in which have a lot of fantasy, mystery, romance and thriller...it's just an imagination. If you start reading, so you can't stop to yourself to know...what's the next? "This is the tale of a girl and a boy-two souls bound by destiny. She is a girl who carries endless warmth within her heart, a softness spun from dreams and devotion. Her love for him is fierce yet tender, an intensity that could melt even the coldest of hearts. She alone holds the power to turn his silence into song, his cruelty into care, and his heartlessness into a divine, love-soaked tenderness. For him, she is not just love-she is transformation itself. He, on the other hand, is a man carved from stone-ruthless, unfeeling, feared by the world. His heart knows no gentleness, no mercy, no emotion... except when it beats for her. For her, he burns with a passion that borders on obsession, a divine fire that consumes only in her presence. To the world he remains untouchable, cold and cruel, but before his little beloved, he softens, melts, and surrenders-becoming hers in the truest, most profound way." "Both of them had walked through tragedies so dark that their hearts were scarred forever. Yet, neither of them knew that life was about to change completely. From enemies, they would slowly turn into lovers-destined for each other. When together, they created a kind of magic that only true souls can make. They became each other's biggest support system, healing one another in ways no one else ever could. In every prayer, they carried each other's name, and with every heartbeat, they kept falling deeper into a divine and eternal love." I need your love and support. I am a little bit nervous but it's gives me an excitement also and some another level of happiness. Interesting twists on the way. WARNING:- This context may based on sexual harassment, drinking, smoking, and dark sences.
