A reason for Hate will not always be there...
Behind beautiful smiles, everyone has their own demons to deal with. Smiles can be devious, one would assume that someone has a beautiful heart because of a smile.
Friends can turn into enemies in a blink of an eye. Those that we trust the most hurt us with no warning.
***
When your own mind plays tricks on you. Even the strongest can break and crumble...

Behind A Smile ✔

A Beautiful Mess.
We never notice something is missing until it's gone. We never know about the void until we know what was supposed to fill it. We never know the magnitude of the impact until it's felt. We never have regrets until we make mistakes. We never see rainbows unless there was a storm. We can never make peace without there being a conflict first. It might all sound bad at first but keep in mind that there's always good where there's bad. There's always truth where there's lies. Theres always life where there's death. And theres always love where there's hate. Put this all together and you have A Beautiful Mess...Complete

Bruiseprint
A story of love, pain, and second chances. In a world where friendships crumble and kisses taste of betrayal, some wounds cut deeper than skin. A lover's touch can heal-or destroy. Behind every smile hides a secret. Behind every promise, a lie. And in the ashes of loss and sabotage, hearts still ache for the kind of love that survives it all. Different, yet the same-bound by the bruises and scars of their choices, their pasts, their mistakes. Some wounds break, some redeem... but in the end, love always leaves its mark. *** ⚠️ Disclaimer: Sensitive Content This story explores themes of sexual abuse, human trafficking, grooming, emotional trauma, domestic violence, and morally complex relationships. It delves into the long-term psychological impact of abuse and how it can distort one's understanding of love, trust, and self-worth. The characters, their actions, and their choices are entirely fictional and are not intended to condone or glorify abuse, manipulation, or inappropriate relationships of any kind. Reader discretion is strongly advised. Started: May 2025 *** Bruiseprint - a made-up name. Some loves leave marks, not just the kind that hurt, but the kind that shape us. They stay with us like prints. Our bruises tell stories. Pain leaves a print, but so does healing. This is the imprint of a love that changed them both. Thank you for reading ❤️♾️
Lunacies
Sometimes the mind makes you see things that aren't there. Your mind can make you feel at ease or in terrible danger. Whenever it is weak, it will show you the worst of things, make you feel the worst of things. You can pretend nothing is wrong, putting on big smile everyday, while in the meantime the fear and pain are destroying you on the inside. It can make you capable of many things you probably would never do, things others would never expect you to do. But if you don't fight against the weakness and believe those lies your mind tells you at times, then there's no escape. Sometimes you have to fight yourself, sometimes you are your own enemy. ''Your mind can be either your prison or your palace. What you make it is yours to decide'' ― Bernard Kelvin Clive, Your Dreams Will Not DieComplete
The Revenge Wife
COMPLETE Let me make this crystal clear, because you don't seem to understand," he said, his voice deceptively calm, but laced with venom. "I paid for you to be my wife. That means you do what I say. You're mine now." He flicked a check toward me, and it fluttered to the ground between us. I couldn't look away from him, though my chest tightened in panic. My hands shook as I fought back tears, refusing to let him see me break. But he wasn't finished. "What did you expect?" he scoffed, eyes narrowing. "This is what gold diggers like you get. Money has a price, and now you're paying yours. Enjoy it, wife." Without another word, he turned and walked away, leaving me standing in the massive, empty living room-speechless, breathless, and drowning in disbelief. I never expected this. © MaryRose 2018.

A devil carves fear, and when you don't give him that, he is agitated. "Your nightmare baby." he smirked as he leaned closer to her. They say never look into his eyes...he is evil.
