It's late. Very late. 

Sweat oozes from her skin as she strolls through the dark alleyway. 

She's weird. Unusual.

Traumatised by her husband's death, she struggles to ignore his continuous hammering memories that float through her mind. 

His smile. His laugh. 

The strong wind blows her hair as she suddenly wishes she tied it up this morning. She's been wishing she had done a lot of things differently, lately. 

Like not stabbing her husband in the neck. 
But some things you just can't resist, can you? It's not her fault she enjoys the soft feeling of a sharp knife slowly sinking into the skin of the flesh, now is it?

This book portrays the in depth storyline-  the perception of the lifestyle of our protagonist, Fallon Hanson. With elements of death, super nature, as well as gothic realisation, we unveil the story arc regarding this narcissistic socialite, who urges to make amends for her depression, by destroying the lives of those who destroyed hers. With lack of inner peace, our protagonist believes she'll receive it by taking pleasure in seeking revenge for the wrongdoings of others, through violence, brutality and savagery.  The central conflict revolves around the criminal and vicious acts taken within this book, and the continuous friction between Fallon Hanson, and her husband, Damari Richards who serves as our second main protagonist. Fallon believes the stakes to receive the inner tranquillity she deeply craves results in the harmful gestures taken towards others, as her morals and beliefs oppose natural ethnic codes in society, due to starvation of primary socialisation.

(not edited) This is the book I never even admired. It was more like a journal for me-just ranting and never meant to be published. I only uploaded it so that my friend could read it, and I never imagined people would actually love it. So, it's nothing like Whispered Vows-that's the book I poured my heart and soul into, dedicating 5-6 months completely. So please, don't judge me by this book πŸ˜‚!! It was written when I was a teen and remained just a draft for almost a year from 2022 to 2024.

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 fiancΓ©, 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.

A deconstruction of dark romance set within a psychological thriller, wrapped in an erotic horror story, inside an urban fantasy setting, infused with sci-fi elements, and sprinkled with plenty of nerdiness. I can't guarantee you'll like it, but you definitely haven't read anything like it before. Fair warning - the erotic horror elements are pretty hard. ------ Samantha is ambitious, determined, and strong - a habitual overachiever. But happy? Never. She returns to her hometown and her old best friend, hoping for a weekend of respite, perhaps even a fresh start. Instead, she finds herself thrown into mortal danger, left hovering one breath from death. But survival is only the beginning. Saved by a man whose intentions are anything but clear, Samantha undergoes a procedure far worse than dying, losing herself, layer by agonizing layer. She awakens in the Bright Room reborn - a mystery, both to her captor and herself. To reclaim her life, she must confront impossible questions. Is freedom worth becoming a monster? Can she exact vengeance on the one who saved her? And does she truly want to? For you if you love: Strong, complex women who never back down; moral ambiguity; intense psychological drama; power struggles; trauma explored deeply; twisted relationships that make typical love/hate dynamics look tame. Not for you if: You're young or easily triggered - this story doesn't look away when bad things happen. Note: the cover is temporary, working on a proper one (though similar). ----------- If you are reading this story on any other platform other than Wattpad you are very likely to be at risk of a malware attack.

Anna Holland is a college freshman with strange empathic psychic powers that she has managed to keep hidden. She senses auras, feels what others feel as though she feels them herself, and has powerful intuitions that she is inclined to follow.

She felt his surprise. She felt his light extinguish as he died. Then there was nothing. Nothing. Her head was swimming like it was underwater. She couldn't move. She couldn't move. Her vision blurred, a man was speaking but she couldn't hear his words. She felt the sword in her chest, but it wasn't there. He killed him. He killed him. Breathe. Did she stop? Breathe. The man, she could hear him speaking. What was he saying? Breathe. She inhaled a deep breath. And another. Then another. Things started to clear. "Breathe. That's right," the warrior coaxed. She started to take another settling breath, and his face came more into focus. The first thing she noticed was his piercing green eyes. She had never seen eyes quite like that before. She stared into them, mesmerized. He mimicked a breath and she took it with him. She was coming back. "I will not hurt you," the man kneeling before her promised. Anna knew better than to believe him. What was it he had said? Oh. "You...you said...you said 'no witnesses'." She was shaking violently. She took another deep breath. "Ah, " he uttered in acknowledgment. "You are not a witness, you are the treasure

37 parts Ongoing

Wind howls like a warning, rain whispers secrets against the windows, and the cold nights stretch longer than they should. Even the brightest days begin to dim, as if the sun itself is retreating from something unspeakable. And it's not just the daylight that fades; truth itself begins to rot, sinking slowly into the shadows, buried beneath layers of silence and fear. Arizona's quiet is shattered when the lifeless body of a young, stubborn, and hauntingly beautiful girl is discovered inside her own home. No forced entry. No obvious clues. Just her... and a presence that refuses to leave. A relentless private investigator takes the case, unaware that she's stepping into something far more sinister than a simple crime. The deeper she digs, the more twisted and terrifying the discoveries become. Whispers in the dark. Eyes watching. A pattern soaked in blood and secrets. Each clue pulls her further from the world she knew; and closer to something ancient, vile, and waiting. What was supposed to be a straightforward investigation becomes a descent into horror. A nightmare she cannot wake from. A truth she may never survive. Now, she turns to you, the reader, not for help, but for company. She dares you to follow her into the dark. But be warned... once you see what she has seen, there is no going back. Brace yourself. The truth doesn't just hide. It haunts.
