They're both polar opposites.
Adrian is a heartless & cold-blooded killer who has no mercy for anyone, and says that she's incapable of loving another person; meanwhile, Linden is a depressed, hurting, and lonely girl who's in an arranged marriage with a monster.
When they cross paths, they both have one rule that the other has no knowledge of: Strictly no falling for eachother. This rule is extremely easy to follow at first, but over time, as they start to rub off on eachother, avoiding violating this rule becomes harder and harder with each passing day. Who will be the first to violate the rule?

Chasing Celeste
Celeste Sinclair loved Adrian for years, but he never saw her-not the way she wanted him to. Their marriage was nothing more than a contract to him, a convenience. Tired of being ignored, Celeste finally makes the hardest decision of her life: she wants out. But just when she's ready to walk away, Adrian decides he's not letting her go. Forced to work under him as his secretary, she's thrown into a battle of emotions-his sudden attention, his possessive stares, and the undeniable tension between them. Now that she's slipping through his fingers, Adrian is determined to win her back. But Celeste isn't the same woman who once waited for him to love her. Is he too late? Or will she let him chase her... just so she can break his heart the way he broke hers? ******* Rankings : #1 Heartbreaks (4/8/2025) #1 OfficeRomance (4/8/2025) #1 ForcedProximity (4/8/2025) #1 Second Chances (4/22/2025) #1 Billionaire (5/17/2025) #1 LoveandHate (5/17/2025) #2 Divorce (4/8/2025) #2 Angst (4/22/2025)Lengkap

Just - Theodore Nott
!!CURRENTLY UNDER EDITING!! "You're not how I remember you." Theodore mumbled, loud enough for it to hang in the cigarette-smoke-infused air between us, but quiet enough for just the two of us to hear. It was heavier than the smoke, maybe heavier than the fallen expression on his face, but I didn't want to test that. "I've just..." I shifted, crossing one leg over the other, fingers twisting the silver ring on my middle finger. "... changed." His gaze lingered on me for a beat too long before he looked away, tapping ash neatly into a tray. "You really have changed," he murmured, almost to himself. I raised a brow, my fidgeting stuttering just slightly. "Is that supposed to be a compliment?" His shoulders rose and fell in a faint shrug, plastering a face of nonchalance. "Not sure yet." --- A dual POV story in which Aliyah Riddle and Theodore Nott find love amongst all the hardships of fighting for their life, for love, and even going behind all they have been convinced is right.

"Have you ever heard of nyctophilia?" I slowly shook my head no as my bottom lip quivered. He stopped to look at me, and smiled that breathtaking smile of his before he went back to walking. "Well, Nyctophilia is the word used to describe the love of darkness or night" He paused again but this time stopped right in front of me. I kept my head down as my heart pounded out of my chest. "A nyctophile would be the term used to describe someone with nyctophilia." He then brought his hand to my chin and tilted my head up so I was looking him in his eyes. Those beautiful golden eyes. "You, my darling, are a nyctophile." He smirked then added, "And I am the darkness you find comfort in." ⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓⛓ Celeste Banks was as sweet as candy and as pure as cotton.

DO YOU REALLY HATE EACH OTHER? (MXMXM)
Theodore Vales 🌸 Do you really hate each other? Because I don't think you do. I've seen hatred before. It is clean. Sharp. Cold. What you two have is anything but. It is fire, restless and consuming. It is tension so thick the air trembles when you walk into the same room. It is silence heavy with everything unsaid, every word buried because neither of you knows how to bleed without drawing blood. And yet-when you reach for me, both of you, your hands brush too close. Your eyes flicker not just to me but to each other, even if only for a second. You think I don't notice, but I do. I notice the longing beneath the fury, the way your anger is only the shadow of something deeper. You both want me. And I-I want you both. But maybe it was never only about me. Maybe it has always been about 'us'. Three. A number most would call too much. Too messy. Too impossible. And yet, in the way you breathe, in the way you break, in the way you burn-I see it. Three is the only way this story could ever be told. So I'll ask again. Do you really hate each other? Or is hate just another word for everything you're too afraid to confess? A story of rivals, longing, and the kind of love that breaks all rules. 🌸🌸🌸☁☁☁🌸🌸🌸 ⚠️ Viewer's Discretion is Advised ⚠️ This story contains mature themes and is intended for adult audiences.
