Murphy's Law • noun
an observation: anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
But if you're Aileen, it seems like anything and everything will go wrong. If she digs a hole in the beach, she'll fall in it later. If she goes on a vacation, she'd forget her wallet. Despite her unfortunate events, she tries to make the best of it. That hole she fell in? Great spot for scaring people. Left her wallet at home? Great time to save money. Even when things seem to always go wrong, there's a bright side. There simply has to be.

Might not be the best description, but it's my first book so why not give it a try :)

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.

Accidentally Yours. Season 1
Harsha : "Come in." He said, not even bothering to look up from his work. He was wearing a beige linen suit with a crisp white shirt underneath.Okay, not bad," I thought, even though he looked hot. Not that I would ever admit it, of course! Akshu : "Yes, sir, do you need something? You called me in the middle of the celebrations-not that I'm complaining or anything." I clearly stated it sarcastically, showing my displeasure at being called out of all the classroom representatives. He finally looked up and locked his gaze on me, staring without blinking for what felt like minutes. We held each other's eyes, as if time itself had come to a standstill around us. His intense gaze held something I couldn't quite describe, and slowly, he stood up, still saying nothing. The air between us crackled with unspoken tension. He slowly began to take steps toward me-step, step, step... I instinctively started to back away, gulping as he closed the distance between us, striding toward me like I was his prey. He finally reached me, pinning me against the wall, and just as I was about to say something, he leaned in closer......... Harsha : "Shhhhhh." I was scared, my heart racing like a drum.

Our Silent Vows
She was mine long before she knew it. I had been raised in shadows, in a world where power was survival and choice was an illusion. But then there was her. She slipped into my life unexpectedly and defiantly, her eyes too bright for a town like this one. She was unafraid of what lay beneath the surface, thinking she could walk away and resist the pull. But every step she took only bound her tighter to me. She was delicate but stubborn, fierce enough to face what others ran from, even if she didn't fully see it yet. She was the only thing I had ever chosen. I would break anything to keep her, everything, even her illusions of freedom. Because in a world that offered no choices, she became my one certainty. I will carve that truth into the world, with blood, if I have to. R.
