Young and successful Edward Staulker, is an attorney with a very uneventful life.
He lost his faith in mankind many years ago-even as a child, he recognised the innate fakery borne by every Homo sapien and always resigned to a purer intercourse with the forest.
One day, he received a gift. But to accept this gift, he had to go on a journey; a journey that would change his life forever.
Jane Stanley, a university student, has had countless rough patches in her life. It's no wonder how she became a steadfast pessimist.
However, a little part of her still hopes that things will get better-a dream that fate dashes, the moment she crossed paths with this very strange man.
While the outcome of their meeting will require these two to tango; a third party, Fate, has joined the duo from behind the scenes. What happens when three try to tango?

Iris, do you believe she has a point?" she asked and returned to her seat once again. "I don't think so, her father and uncle deserve to go to jail."

Been in the business for over twenty years and that is what a case of Stockholm syndrome looks like. In my years of experience, we see situations similar to this but its our job to help the victims realize" "Wow..." I started, really amazed at what she had said and what her work entails.

His Ruthless Temptation
I saw her long before she saw me. She didn't know then that her fate had already been sealed, that every step she took was drawing her closer to me. Closer to what she would become. There was something in her-something fragile, something wild. A fear she tried to hide, wrapped in defiance and confidence. It was intoxicating, watching her, knowing that no one else could see what I saw. No one else could feel the pull like I did. The slow, deliberate unraveling of her world as it would soon be tethered to mine. I felt my heart beat once, hard and fast. It was the only signal I needed. She would be mine-not in some fleeting, hollow way. No. I would strip away every shield, every defense, until she was laid bare, body and soul. And when she looked at me for the first time, I knew. She was already mine. A. Trigger Warning ⚠️: This story contains intense and graphic content, exploring dark and disturbing themes that may be triggering for some readers.

TRAPPED IN HIS EYES
Nobody ever thinks their life will shatter in an instant-until it does. Not at first. You wake up, you go through the motions, and you trust the people around you. You laugh, you cry, you love.

I never questioned the warmth in his smile, the strength in his presence, the way he stood by my side like a shadow I could always rely on. I thought I had finally found someone who understood me, someone who didn't see me as an outsider. Someone I called a brother. But trust is a dangerous thing. It blinds you. It makes you miss the signs staring right at you. Because the moment I saw the truth- I realized I had been holding the devil's hand all along. #5 Survivor #36 ObsessionComplete
