HIM by lilmissreadalot

He was ruthless, cold-hearted, the definition of fear. He had secrets. She was strong-minded and independent but gifted with the warm heart HE lacked. ................................................................. Rosa Anderson was an inspired writer, living alone in a little apartment in the city of Brisbane, Australia. However, where she was in her current job was at the bottom of where she wanted to be in the future. She was a secretary of a big company, where she assisted editors and writers with their administrative needs. She was great at her job, sharp, agile and on point in her work, to impress the big bosses so she could one day sit in their seats and be the writer she'd dreamt of being. But there was one boss, one boss in particular, that she could not impress. The new boss came and bought the company, alongside many other side hustles he had. He was known to be shut off to the world and any man or woman who came onto his path. He was heartless and an absolute prick of a man that no one favoured, but he was good at business and business alone. ALONE HE WAS. He was nothing like the open books he read and published. He was a closed book with a past he could not escape. His name was Alexander Pearson.

Reason: Interviews With A Killer by TheDANelson

Criminal psychologist, Walter Peterson, has spent many years interviewing criminals; from everyday crooks to the most infamous of serial killers. Through his work, Peterson has engaged some truly ghastly conversations. However these conversations provided psychological gems which only intrigued him to find out more. Such gems were frequent in interviews conducted with a serial killer named David Jacob Bruce. David Jacob Bruce was arrested on the suspicion(self admission) of killing 43 human beings. The well-spoken, British butcher was clever and open to discuss details of his crimes. He could remember a lot of his life and Peterson took a great deal of interest in Bruce. There are some notes that were made throughout the interviews however most of this text consists of dialogue, taken from recordings between the pair. WARNING: Some text will be graphic. The actions of the killer are not to be glorified. This is simply information.

I barely make it a few steps before I feel his hand clamp down on my hair, yanking me back with terrifying force. "Going somewhere, little girl?" "P-please let g- ahh! Please! H-Hurts me!" "Afraid, are we now, baby?" His voice is a snarl now, filled with fury. "L-leave m-me," tears sting my eyes, but I refuse to let them fall. I'm scared of him, scared of what he'll do to my friend, scared of what he'll do to me. His grip on my hair tightens and I wince, choking back a sob. "Oh, why? Don't you like my hands on you, baby?" He mocks hurt that instantly turns back into anger. "But you were fine when that fucker touched you, ain't that right?" Then he pulls a silver knife out of his suit, twirling it lazily between his ink-covered knuckles and my blood freezes at the sight of that psychotic grin. ***** People quaked with fear at the sound of his name and me along with them. He was Demetrios 'the God' Nikolayev and he was first in command of Russian mafia. He was a true psychopath who enjoyed hurting people, and I hated him for that. The worst thing - he owned me. "Try to accept the darkness, because from now on, it will be your only light." I tried so hard, but I couldn't understand it back then. How possibly can darkness be light? ***** This is not a vanilla romance but a dark, toxic, perverted, obsessive story. The book contains mature themes such as foul language, bdsm, sexual and abusive content, kinks, blood, manipulation, etc. Please keep that in mind.

Our Silent Vows by Plumavenetta

She was mine long before she knew it. I'd 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, unexpected and defiant, eyes too bright for a town like this one, unafraid of what lay beneath the surface. She thought she could walk away, that she was strong enough to 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. The only thing I've ever chosen. And 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. Trigger Warning ⚠️: This story contains intense and graphic content, exploring dark and disturbing themes that may be triggering for some readers. Sensitive topics are depicted throughout. Reader discretion is strongly advised. Proceed with caution: after this point, no additional warnings will be provided.

The German's Obsession by Amethyst_Moonn

Warning‼️This book contains abtruse topics such as Dark love, Abuse, Violence etc. You have been warned. "I thought after 3months of dealing with my anger, when I finally saw you again the desire to skin you alive and add your pretty skin to my collection would have died down." he said camly looking at me. His game on pause for a second. My heart dropped to my feet. My eyes were wandering between him and the items close to him as I blinked the tears away. "Sylas- please. You have to understand-" I felt more scared seeing as his attention was back on the board and not on me. Dying was an exceptional thing for me but death by Sylas I couldn't even begin to imagine. "Sprich nicht."(Don't speak.) His native tongue did something to me. I gulped being unable to look at his eyes even though they were on the chess board. "What did you think was going to happen Mäuschen?" he asked giving me his full attention. Every Fibre in my body wanted to run, my mind was screaming for me to run but I knew that wouldn't get me anywhere, it would just make him more excited. "Lay your hands on the table." he commanded moving the chess board further from him. I now wished he continued with his game. I didn't want all of his attention. I complied to his instruction with trembling hands knowing I had no choice. "Which finger did you use?" he asked casually grabbing the hammer and standing up causing a sob to wreck through me. I harshly bit into my bottom lip to stop the begging that was at the tip of my tongue, I knew he wouldn't listen, he only just wanted his answer but I had no control over my tears. .. She wishes she never met him, but wishes only come true in fairy tales.
