"When you are a damsel in distress and you don't have the knight in shining armour in your life, then you have to play the role."




- "I love you", His voice sent a shrill to my spine. 

- "Why", my calm, yet shivering voice retorted. 

- "You don't need a reason to love someone." He replied, taking a step toward me. "You don't need a reason to care for someone when you know the person is worth it."

- "It's a different case this time, I am sorry." I replied, a glint of guilt laced with my voice while my feet cautiously took a step back. 

- "Your sorry won't stop me from loving you." He carefully took another step toward me. His eyes stuck on my lips. 

- "I wish it could," I replied, closing my eyes. 

- "Too late." His deep voice resonated through my ears. 

And then it happened. 

No, it wasn't the luscious moment of a romantic movie where two lovers kissed for the first time under the soft moonlight. It was the abhorrent pageant where two lovers were torn apart because of their fate. 



T.W.  1. Mention of suicide 
        2. Sexual assault

Blue Strings - Will You Fall In Love, With Time? by Annieven04
34 parts Complete
(under editing, interested ones may reach out to me) In the symphony of love, their melodies intertwined, yet fate's chorus whispered no promise of forever. In a journey where hearts yearned but souls wandered apart, they discovered that true love sometimes meant embracing the courage to release, for the sake of finding happiness in the echoes of what could have been. ... SNEAK A PEAK Never have I ever thought that one day, I'll wake up to hear these words from a person I love the most, romantically. I pushed him back, I held him by his shoulders and pinned to the wall. I know I wrongfully confined him, but how dare he? 'You dare question my love for you?" I raised my voice. He is surprised, he widened his little eyes, those I would love to stare at all day or may be he is shocked as well. HAHA!! I Find it annoyingly funny how easily he quoted 'Thank god, You didn't love me too deep in the ocean', "Oh darling, wait till you drown inside and ask for my help when you can't swim to the shore" I retorted and defended my love.
Are you okay? by tiarobinswrites
64 parts Complete Mature
She wanted to die. He wanted to live. ••• A hand grabbed onto my wrist, yanking me back just as the train rushed past, before I'd even had time to comprehend whether or not I'd carry out the action. I stumbled back into the person's chest, my heart jumping out as I swivelled around, startled to find myself staring into piercing dark brown eyes. "Were you going to jump?!" "No," I drawled out sarcastically, ignoring the intensity of his eyes as they bore into my own, "I just stand on the edge of train platforms at midnight because I feel like it." Seeing the stranger tense, I stepped away from the edge, feeling his hand let go of mine as I picked up my bag before moving to sit down on one of the platform benches. Letting out an evident sigh of relief, he sat down after tentative movements towards me, and I could feel his intense gaze raking across my features. His eyes never left me, I was sure of it, with every step both he and I had taken. "Are you okay?" He had asked warily, apparent apprehension in his deep voice while he spoke, "Do you want to talk about it?" "What's there to talk about?" I threw his question back at him, watching him study me for a few critical moments before his potent gaze switched to our surroundings. "I did just watch you nearly kill yourself; that might be a place to start?" ••• She didn't expect for a complete stranger to stop her milliseconds away from committing suicide. She didn't expect him to be so kindhearted and patient. He didn't expect to stop her from jumping in front of a train the first time they met. He didn't expect to find himself falling for the one girl he knew he shouldn't. [Word Count: 180,000 - 200,000]
Hunted (Cursed Love book 1) by Narriyasa
27 parts Ongoing Mature
This is the first book of the Cursed Love series. ------------ I wanted it all to end. Desperately. I wanted to forget, to be forgotten. But I had crossed a line I was never meant to approach. It wasn't my choice to make, but I made it anyway-too far gone to turn back. I was a coward, a fool who made the wrong move. I wanted him too much, I wanted to be etched into his skin. But I had ruined my chances a long time ago, a lot more than I've anticipated. Now, he won't stop until I'm completely stripped and ripped open. I can feel it, the way he's picking me apart. I'm his puppet, worse than it was being his plaything. And I know he won't spare me. Not when there's so much left to destroy.

HIGHEST RATINGS; #2 in cuteromance #53 in men #34 in younglove SAMPLE ~ I must've looked like an idiot, just staring at him through my car window. His voice is gentler than it was before, kinder. "I didn't catch your name," He says, and I feel my cheeks heat up. He's so confident. I would be, too, if I looked like him. Now that he's up close, I can see how gorgeous he really is. His eyes, a beautiful brown and green mix, complemented by his curly brown hair, so dark it would probably look black if he weren't standing beneath the sun that had peeked back from behind the selfish clouds. It had almost golden-colored steaks through it. The curls were only on the top part of his head, the sides were buzz-cut, which I was thankful for- I didn't like guys with long hair. His entire face was like a stone sculpture; chiseled to perfection. His eyebrows, thick and arched a bit as he looks at me... He interrupts my thoughts by clearing his throat, and I blush again. "Calleigha," I say, smiling slightly. He returns the smile and leans on the car a bit, his arms on the door. "And you are?" I ask, raising my eyebrows. "I'm Dominic, Dominic Wixton," He says, and offers his hand, which I shake, his strong hand holding mine with the perfect amount of grip. Wow. This dude is literally perfect. His voice cuts through my thoughts. "Calleigha," He repeats and nods a bit, his hand folded back over the other. "That's a mouthful," He says and laughs a bit. ~

"You were worried about me, Specs?" He smirked. "No, Tyler. I hoped that someone cut up your corpse and fed it to paranas. Obviously I was, you idiot! I'm a doctor. Worrying about people is kind of programmed into my system. It's a curse if you ask me," I surprised myself a lot more than I thought was possible with my answer. And what did he do? Laugh! He fucking laughed! Not full on rolling- on- the- floor laughter but a laugh nonetheless. "This isn't funny, Tyler." "It kind of is. Almost a month ago, I would've sworn that you hated me. Be careful, Specs," he squinted down at me, "or you might actually sound as if you like me." I rolled my eyes. "Don't flatter yourself. I was concerned. Don't confuse that with affection. It's two very, very different things." *** When you think that all is not lost in the world. That not all men are pricks and that not all sushi is bad. When you think that there is a light, no matter how dim, at the end of the tunnel. When you think that life isn't the ruthless bitch you've always thought it was... It turns around and bites you in the ass. When you think that the past will always and forever remain where it should be... It comes at you from every direction. Like a violent tsunami destroying everything...and everyone in it's path. Can you change what happened? I wish. Can you stop what's going to happen? God! I really hope so.
