The lives of most people change with their dreams, but for us, it was our nightmares. The night had always harbored horrors for us, but perhaps it was our nightmares that bound us. Perhaps it was because we faced similar horrors that we trusted each other with our greatest possessions. It was just our nightmares we shared, otherwise we were very different. One the coldest fire while the other the warmest ice. Yet, we were drawn to the same thing, like a moth is drawn to the flame. Perhaps we were destined to burn, there was no way around it. What we wanted and what we needed were like the sun and stars. We couldn't have both. So, we did what anyone would do! We made the choice, but undisclosed to each other. My only desire was that if we were to burn which we were sure of, was to burn beside each other.
Because it all starts with one nightmare, just a single nightmare...

TELL ME WHO I AM! | Dark Romance | Psychological Thriller |
She wakes up in a stranger's bed, a diamond ring glimmering on her finger - a symbol of promises she cannot remember - a vow forged in a past that's been stolen from her. Everyone says she's fortunate. That she's blessed. That a beautiful home, a devoted fiancé, and a spotless future await her. But when her pulse falters under his gentle touch... when her skin shivers instead of warming - something deep within resonates with the alarming feeling that something is profoundly, dangerously wrong. He insists it's for her own safety - that something awful happened, that healing simply takes time - but there's a fire in his eyes, a possessiveness he cannot mask. And somewhere in her mind, a locked box rattles against its chains. And at night, in the quiet... she dreams of another man she does not recognize. Until one day he steps out of the shadows. Not with flowers, but with fire, with danger, with a confession forged in the pure agony of a love forgotten. Not with comfort, but with a storm in his eyes and a voice that trembles when he says- "You promised to remember me," he whispers. "Even if the whole world made you forget." He is not kind. He is not patient. His love is wild - a consuming force - a sin that feels more elemental than redemption. The moment he reaches for her, the carefully woven lie starts to unravel, thread by thread, until the awful, beautiful truth emerges. She doesn't know his name. But her soul does. Now, stranded between two men - the man who offers refuge within a perfect illusion and the man who holds the key to a catastrophic reality - she must make a choice. To stay safely oblivious... or to break free and remember the life that was stolen from her. Because someone made sure she forgot. And they'll do whatever it takes to keep it that way. Some truths are dangerous - and some memories are worth everything.Complete
The Devil's Crybaby
Eliza Labelle had survived a shooting that should have killed her, but surviving turned out to be the beginning of her problems rather than the end. After waking in a hospital bed with a bullet wound and a government determined to bury the incident, she discovered that the man responsible had vanished behind the walls of a place most people only whispered about. While her family tried to push her back into her privileged city life, strange events and growing unease made it impossible for her to forget what happened. When she was suddenly taken from everything she knew and dragged beyond the safety of the world she had grown up in, Eliza found herself trapped in a brutal land ruled by old loyalties, hidden power structures, and people who lived by laws far different from those of the city. As she struggled to survive among dangerous strangers, she uncovered secrets that connected powerful families, forbidden territories, and a world that had been carefully hidden from ordinary people. The deeper she was pulled into that world, the harder it became to separate friend from enemy, truth from manipulation, and survival from sacrifice. What began as a fight to return home slowly became a journey that forced her to confront the darkest parts of human nature, the cost of loyalty, and the reality that some doors could never be closed once they were opened.

At the end of the day, I was just a maid in his father's house but I didn't look at it that way when I fell for him and that was how I lost myself. -Read to know how she lost herself, who is the angle and the devil, how did her demons won when she was trying so hard to run away from them.

Brutal Vows
A loveless beginning was thrust upon them, an unspoken nightmare that cast a shadow over their marriage from the very first moment. It was as if fate itself had cruelly dictated their union, stripping away the warmth, the passion, the tenderness they longed for. As the old saying goes, "The most powerful warriors are patience and time," and in this cruel tale, those words proved painfully true. They watched in silent agony as fierce warriors-unyielding and relentless-unfurled their brutal vows, exposing the raw, unvarnished truth of what bound these two hearts-vows forged in darkness, soaked in suffering, and silent despair. Was that love? Could what they shared truly be called love? How could I have deserved such a fate-being loved, or even loving in return-when my heart was so battered, so wounded? How and why did I love you? These questions clawed their way through my mind like relentless demons, each one more desperate, more agonizing than the last. And yet, amidst the chaos of doubt and pain, only one unwavering truth remained: unshaken, unbroken. In the depths of our souls, we made a vow-a sacred promise to God, to the heavens, to ourselves-we vowed to love, to love each other, to love us.

Nothing Like That
Life, that's the funny thing about it. We always wanted things to go the way that we imagined it too, but of course plans just always have to change.

What if we could've created our husbands/wives for ourselves, would that make us a God/Deity? Maybe, just maybe. We were all just living our truths and we needed people to come into our lives to shine the light where we always played blind to. This was about to be the reality of everything that we tried so hard to envisioned for ourselves. Truths are about to be tested, faith was about to be questioned and most importantly Love was about to be granted.Complete
White Top Hats
It started when the rain fell. As it hit the windows rhythmically, I fought my sleep. Fighting off the demons in my dreams. I hadn't realized how real that dream became.

These Vengeful vows
They were promised to each other before they could even speak. Heir to an empire. Daughter of a legacy. Bound by a deal neither of them asked for. She's learned to live with the panic that shadows her nights, the anxiety that claws at her chest when the world becomes too much. He's learned to bury the ghosts of his past under power, wealth, and a name that opens every door. But the marriage contract changes everything. One bed. One future. No escape. And just when they begin to see beyond the walls they've built around themselves, a message arrives: I know who killed your mother. The sender? A man the groom once called brother. Someone who lost eight years of his life while he walked free. Someone who wants revenge, not just on him, but on the family that destroyed everything. Lies will surface. Loyalties will shatter. And in the middle of it all, two broken souls will have to decide if they can trust each other... or if love is just another trap waiting to break them.
unwanted attachment
Two souls. Alike in ways that only make them clash harder. Same arrogance. Same stubbornness. Same burning egos that refuse to bend. And yet... bound together in a relationship neither of them truly chose. She is a mystery-quiet, guarded, carrying a past she refuses to let anyone see. Every smile is measured, every emotion locked away behind walls built from pain. He is power-cold, controlled, a man the world admires as a successful businessman. But beneath the surface lies something far darker... something even he doesn't fully understand. When fate forces them into a marriage of convenience, it isn't love that blooms. It's war. Words sharper than blades. Silences heavier than confessions. A constant push and pull between hatred and something neither of them is ready to name. But the past they share... refuses to stay buried. Memories haunt them. Truths threaten them. And destiny-cruel and relentless-keeps dragging them back to each other. Will they heal together... or destroy each other piece by piece? Because sometimes, the person you're running from... is the one you're already tied to. And sometimes, love doesn't save you. It consumes you. He wasn't meant to love her. She wasn't meant to trust him. But fate had other plans-and it never plays fair. ❃.✮:▹ ◃:✮.❃ " With you beside me, even the hell feels heaven to me!"
