A short story (word count: ~3000). Let's not spoil it with a blurb :)

P.S. this was written for a Write India contest, so the story is woven around the given excerpt:
*
Around six that evening, when the doorbell rang, Eshan was busy getting things ready for the evening's party. Wondering who had turned up so early, he grumpily went to the door. It was Nathan. "I'm here to help you," he said with a smile. "How much can you possibly do all by yourself." Holding forward a single rose that had a long, slender stalk, he bowed dramatically. "Congratulations. For now, you could stop being jealous," he sneered. Eshan knew that the emphatic 'all by yourself' was hardly intentional, but it bothered him.
*
Feedback much appreciated!

Do we love each other? by Snowfall_56

" Let's make this clear, we are getting ready because our parents and grandparents want this, not like we have to do something with each other so let's be clear, we can date anyone we want." " Ok, now you listen it clearly, if you want to marry me you will need to be on my terms or you are free to make me broke. And cheating is no where in my term." I said while looking deep in his eyes. " Does your terms change according to situation?" He taunted. " No." I said while having a Straight face. He stared at me. " Let's make this clear, I didn't cheat you, I had feelings for Daniel and I told you about it and broke up nicely, after that only I was in relationship with Daniel." His eyes turned dark and angry as soon as he heard all this. He came dangerously closer to me making me bend backward, and he hovered me and came even more closer, I couldn't even bend more backwards otherwise my backbone will crack. " Start learning how to live under my terms." He said angrily. And god, he looks so damn sexy, I am again on the way to fall for him. " What do you want Armaan? Make it clear. You want to marry me then marry properly. If you want to live with some else than stop making me a time pass and go get married to her. I am not interested in all this shitty drama of yours and don't drag your parents and grandparents because we both know, no one can force Armaan Malhotra in anything, until he wishes to." I said feeling pissed. " Then listen, I want to make you feel what you made me feel. I want you to feel the same pain. And I know you won't care if I marry to someone else, you will continue living your life happily and one day, You will get married to someone else and be happy. So making you marry me is just a plan to give you the pain. The pain of me loving someone else, I want to make you feel how happy I am without you, you are nothing to me just a toy to play with." --- *No cheating troupe* *Enemies to lovers*

His Heart, Mine by venuserve

Hate and desire have never been so dangerously entangled‼️❤️‍🔥 ~~~~~~ "Say it again," he commands breathlessly. "What?" I manage to ask, confused, before pulling him in for another kiss. He pulls back, his breath hot against my skin. "That you hate me, tell mr that you hate me." "I hate you," I say instantly, the lie burning my tongue. He kisses me harder, hungrier, and the words slip out again- "I hate you. I hate you. I hate you." His groans deepen, and at that moment, I wonder how I'm still standing. Still breathing. Still here. ~~~~~~ Aliana plans every detail of her life to perfection-because chaos has already cost her too much. A survivor of a chronic illness, an abusive brother, and an absent father, she swore never to let anything disrupt her life again. But nothing could have prepared her for his return. Ali has always lost the things that mattered most. Heartbreak. A broken family. The loss of a loved one. But this time, he's decided to reclaim what was his-even if it means facing the one person who refuses to forgive him. As their paths collide again, Aliana must confront her past, battle new demons, and resist the growing desire for the one man she vowed to always hate.

"I can consider your request," he finally replied, causing her face to light up with hope. The weight of her desperation seemed to lift momentarily, replaced by a glimmer of possibility. But then, Kabir paused, making her heart sink. "On one condition," he added, his voice low and serious. The room suddenly felt suffocating, as if the air had been sucked out, leaving only tension and uncertainty. "Finish what we started the other day." His words hung in the air, heavy with unspoken desires and unfinished business. Kiara furrowed her brows, confusion evident on her face. "What do you mean?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly. Her mind raced, desperately trying to piece together the fragments of their shared history. Kabir leaned in closer, whispering into her ear. "Spend the night here," he said, his words sending a shockwave through her body. Her eyes widened in disbelief, unable to digest what she was hearing. The room seemed to spin, blurring the boundaries between reality and fantasy. She had never expected this twist in their complicated relationship. Then she remembered a few months ago, during a moment of vulnerability, they had shared a passionate kiss. It had been a fleeting moment, a stolen connection that had left her breathless and yearning for more. She had come to Kabir to mend things between him and her best friend, Maya, but now he was suggesting something completely unexpected. Her mind raced, torn between the fear of crossing boundaries and the intoxicating allure of the unknown. Should she give in to her desires, risking everything she held dear? Or should she walk away, preserving the fragile equilibrium of their lives? story will updated every week

"I don't love you," I declare, my voice steady but my resolve wavering. He smiled at me, though his expression was tinged with pain, tears pooling in the depths of his eyes. "I knew it, you still love me so much." I was rendered speechless by his declaration, my efforts to conceal my emotions proving futile as he effortlessly deciphered the truth written in my eyes. "Say it, just once, that you love me, my Sweetheart. Just once, please," he pleaded. I finally surrendered, tears misting my own eyes as all rational thoughts scattered, "I love you. I never stopped loving you." "And I love you infinitely more," he declared, leaning closer towards my lips. I placed a trembling hand over his mouth, halting him in his tracks, and shook my head slowly. "We can't. It's wrong. We can't betray our partners." *** Two hearts, torn apart by the cruel hand of fate, find themselves face to face after 4 long years.

An Unexpected Moment by caromerri

... that changes everything Sarah was starting her junior year of high school. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a pretty average blonde haired, blue eyed, teenager. She was neither in the popular group, nor one of the many cliched outsiders. Sarah was a nobody. She liked to blend in and lay low. It was her way out of not only this town, but her house. No one knew it, but her father was a high functioning alcoholic that often took his anger out on his family. With her older sister now in college, it had turned to her more often. Laying low in general was a good strategy. Across town, Ryan was prepping for his final year in high school. While he wasn't the stereotypical quarterback of the football team, he did fit into the popular crowd. His sports of choice included basketball and soccer, either of which might line him up for a scholarship next year. Ryan had a group of close friends and a lot of adoring acquaintances. It wasn't easy juggling his athletics and keeping the grades up, but he was just that good. The supporting parents didn't hurt either. It might be a cliché romance, but it will be fun to see what the year and beyond holds. ------------------------------------------ This is a story I wrote years ago, or at least partially wrote. As I transcribe it here, I have tried to update it a bit and give the characters/story more depth than what I had when I was younger. Hopefully it all gets pulled together!
