The Devil's Crybaby by Alywinter

A man stormed in with a gun. She was shot. She lived, but the part of her that trusted life didn't. After that, she became careful. She avoided crowds. Sudden movements made her freeze. She spent more time alone because it felt easier than being around people who didn't understand what had happened to her. Life became smaller, but it felt safer that way. Then one night, someone came for her. He took her from her bed without explaining who he was. He kept her moving, kept her close, and kept his distance at the same time. A man who lived by rules she didn't understand and fear she couldn't escape. Everything about him screamed danger, yet he never touched her without reason. Never spoke more than necessary. He lived for one person only. Everything he did was for his brother. His brother had lost an eye years ago because of him, and he treated that loss like something he could never make right. He followed his brother's orders without thinking about the consequences. When his brother wanted something, he made it happen. Eliza asked questions. Tried to understand what she had been pulled into. The man who kidnapped her protected her but never from the truth. In the silence he left behind, she started filling in the gaps herself. She told herself he wouldn't protect her if she didn't matter. She told herself that the way he stayed close meant something. When she finally learns the reason she was taken, it doesn't come gently. It strips away everything she believed and leaves her facing the fact that she was never chosen. She was a promise. A problem someone else decided to solve. Two brothers want different things from her. One wants to own her. One never planned to keep her. Around them is a world where violence is normal, where people disappear without anyone asking questions, and where some men hunt for reasons that have nothing to do with survival. This is not a story about being saved.

"Was it worth the cost?" by Ava0anonymous

"We are all meant to die just once, but apparently, that is nothing short of a lie. A fake reality that we are taught in adolescence. When I learned that truth, I lost everything. ፈᏗᏁᏗᏒᎩ When you calmed my mind, you changed me and took the last thing from me that I had. Now I am alone in this world a victim of its unending cruelty. All of you will learn that. When you do you will wish that you treated me better while you had the chance, " This is not a romance novel. Do not think this is a romance novel. The sequel is thought. Not all mobile devices will be able to show all the text accurately as I use fonts as a conveyer of mental health. Warning Every warning you can think of. There will be gore rape torture and what is worse. Also, I make stories by writing the story plot and everything, and rewriting it to fit in the small details.

RAVEN-HOLLOW by xiawuu

When Silvanna Emery, a rising model with a haunted past, takes a break from her chaotic city life to visit her grandmother's secluded estate in the mist-covered town of Ravenhollow, she expects peace, not passion-healing, not heartbreak. But everything changes when she meets Felix Brooklyn-a reclusive painter with piercing eyes, bronze skin kissed by the sun, and a body carved like the very statues he sketches. At 6'5, powerful yet graceful, Felix is not only a successful artist and enigmatic businessman but also a man hiding a centuries-old curse. Silvanna is drawn to his darkness like a moth to flame. He paints her as if he's seen her soul before-as if he's been waiting for her. But Felix harbors a secret. He's a vampire bound to an ancient sorrow, cursed by love lost, and haunted by bloodshed. As their connection deepens, Silvanna begins unraveling the painful threads of her own brokenness, facing traumas she's long buried. And in doing so, she steps into Felix's world-a world of tragic beauty, dangerous devotion, and forbidden love. Their passion burns hot, but fate runs colder. In the quiet town where the past never dies, can love be enough to save two souls drowning in darkness?

No One's Child by DouglasBlack980

In the mountain village of Helkridge, young Aaroith lives a simple life under the care of his loving parents. But when a winter ambush leaves his mother dead and his father blinded, the boy is forced to carry a secret too heavy for any child. The villagers believe the attack came from the Elven Kingdom. But Aaroith remembers something else-something darker. As grief and guilt take root, Aaroith begins a journey that will unravel his family's past, test the strength of his soul, and awaken the truth of what he really is. This is not a story of heroes. This is the story of a boy with no place to call his own... and the burden he was never meant to bear.

Death of the Ghost by pasiphrosyne

In a realm where love blooms like a rose in a graveyard, their souls were cursed to meet and break. A goddess reborn. A demon god undone. He has watched her die in many lifetimes, each ending more brutal than the last, all because of a curse he cannot break - and a love he was cursed to never forget. But when the world fractures and destiny shifts, the woman he saves is not the goddess he remembers. None of her predecessors were, yet she too was sentenced to death by capricious fate. In a land of gods and monsters, where memory twists and fate is a deadly weapon, death may be the only escape.

Ashes of the Vow by kittyboimrow

An assassin with secrets. A man with scars. Love was never supposed to be part of the deal. "We can't," he said, his voice rough but final. The rejection was a physical blow. Humiliation, hot and sharp, washed over me, followed immediately by a fury so intense it blurred my vision. I released his jacket like it was on fire, snatching my hand back from his chest. Of course. Of course. I shoved open the van door, the metal screeching in protest. I practically fell out into the garage, needing to put distance between us, needing to breathe air he hadn't just stolen from my lungs. "Thorn-" he began, his voice following me out. I spun around, cutting him off. The words came out laced with a venom I didn't entirely feel, a weapon to match the hurt. "Don't. Just... don't." I was furious. Furious at him for starting it. Furious at him for stopping. But most of all, I was furious at myself. Furious for wanting it. For leaning in. For letting him make me feel, for one stupid second, like I was cared for. When Thorn-an elite assassin with too many secrets-collapses on the doorstep of Ash Penbrook, she expects death, not rescue. Ash is a powerful businessman with his own scars and a vendetta against the same organization Thorn once served. Forced into an uneasy alliance, their world becomes a battlefield of ambushes, betrayals, and buried truths. Survival draws them closer, but trust is dangerous-and love even more so. As enemies close in, both must decide: are they each other's salvation...or the final weapon that will destroy them?

Waiting for You Forever by KimEunae54

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.
