OBSESSION. too personal
This could have been a gentle story for quiet autumn evenings. But it shattered against Morphine - a chapter that will not let you stay indifferent. And now, you'll understand why. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about healing through pain, about love that blooms after trauma, and about the fragile line between salvation and obsession. She is a woman rebuilding herself from the ashes. Not strong - simply real. A mother. A fighter. A writer whose words cut deeper than truth itself. She doesn't want to be someone's muse - she only wants to be understood. He is the man the world worships... and fears. A legend. A symbol of an era. But behind the fame, there's a man haunted by his own darkness. Together, they are fire and gasoline - two broken souls learning how to love without losing themselves. Their story isn't a fairytale. It's an age-gap dark romance about redemption, grief, and the courage to love again. With touch. With words. With silence between the lines.Complete

It could be failing an important test, missing a friend's birthday, but sometimes people take it a little too far... A text. A fire. A killer. Who can we really trust in this world?

His mistress
Loving him was the cruelest kind of torment-a love that lived in the shadows, one that could never bask in the warmth of the sun. I was nothing more than a stolen moment, a whispered name in the dark, a secret he tucked away between the life he had built and the one he wished he could have. I knew, deep down, that I was a fracture in his story, a fleeting escape from the weight of his reality. And yet, I still clung to him, to the illusion that for a few precious hours, he was mine. But the truth was relentless-it came in the form of unanswered texts, in the way he dressed hurriedly after loving me, in the way he said her name with the same tenderness he once gave me. I had given him my heart, knowing he would never be able to keep it, and yet, I loved him still. Loved him as I watched him walk away, loved him as he returned to the arms of the woman he truly belonged to, loved him as I drowned in the loneliness he left behind. Because no matter how much I wished it to be different, I was not his home-I was just a place he visited before going back to where his heart truly lived.Complete

Firestorm
"No?" Rarilee repeated, confusion dripping from the word. "No, because boys never understand. They just don't have the knowledge or devotion to help you in any way, especially in your situation." Aspiring chef artist and sixteen year old Rarilee Blaze Tolonez was the old-schooled daughter of a compassionate mother and a hardworking father. She stood on her own two feet, and with the help of her melodramatic lawyer-to-be best friend, her life resembled a comfortable normality. This is, of course, before the heavens decide to strike their most dangerous, powerful source directly onto her innocence, almost taking the life out of her. Normality takes a sharp turn into insanity. No matter how many times the doctors and nurses reiterate that she is in good condition, Rarilee cannot ignore the uneasiness in her gut and the severe pain in her scarred temples. She cannot seem to trust her own conscience either, and the screaming voices shadowing her do nothing but intensify the conflicting burden. But what Rarilee does not seem to understand is that there is only one person in the entire human race that can save her from the extremes. The only one that can cure her from the confusion and the pain. And that was him. #984 in Mystery / Thriller Firestorm © whattafangurl 2015 All rights reserved.Complete
