- Competition entry for Minor Complications- from @Romance by antiherosgalore
- Short Story
Jack had the unique ability to tell whenever someone was lying. It was pretty useful. But when he met his blind date, Ursula, he found that he felt that feeling constantly. To the point where it became headache inducing. But he was still curious to know more about her. "How could someone lie so effortlessly like that?"
Ursula just wanted to find someone who was sweet and loved her for who she was on the inside, like any normal person would want. But when she met Jack, she knew that she had hit another wall. Though she tried to keep an open mind, she couldn't help but feel offended by his arrogant attitude and interrogative questions. "1 more hour of this...great."

Living In The Shadows (Sequel to Dark Corners) Anti X Reader
It's your 1 year anniversary with Jack. You were so excited for tonight! He was keeping it a secret, where you were going, and no matter how many times you asked, he wouldn't budge. But no matter, the only thing that mattered, is that you were happy to be with Jack, and happy about being safe. Anti hasn't even been mentioned in the past year, and you were happy with that too. All of the pain...all of the suffering...all of the tears, and and screaming, and torture you went through, was out of your mind...most of the time. Sometimes when you were alone, you would get a little dizzy. Much like the feeling you had the night at the pub. When you were dizzy, all happy emotions in your body would swim out, and all the memories from a year ago, would flood in. But, it was time; time to go out for your anniversary. It was a wonderful dinner, but Jack started to act a bit...strange. He said everything was fine, and you just went with it. You were still a little worried, but tried not to be. After you changed into your bed cloths, Jack tried doing something, that you didn't want to do. That's when you knew....this wasn't Jack. "'I missed you Y/N...' A familiar voice whispered into your ear. 'Don't run away from me lass.'Complete![The Bad Boy Inside The Mermaid Suit [BOOK 5]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/107548188-256-k924335.jpg)

"How did you lose your car?" The police officer, who is also, unfortunately, the man I had always loved, asked as he took his pen from his mermaid tail. What is he even wearing right now? No Cobie, don't look at his abs! "I..." I started, "I don't know how to explain it." "Start from the beginning." I know when to start; I just don't know how to explain! But either way, he should be the one explaining why he's in that in the first place! "I..." I sighed, "I was driving to Denovan and stopped in the middle of the forest." "Why?" He asked as his eyebrows raised, suddenly, he looked serious. "Did you see a wolf? A ghost? Did you saw something behind your side mirror?" He shook his head, "Cobie- I mean, Ms. Emerson, why did you stop your car?" I stayed silent for a few moments, before revealing the reason I'm not comfortable talking about most especially to the man I used to love turned stranger.

roses & their thorns.
"Its like you built our relationship with lies." He muttered in disdain and tears shamelessly fell down his cheeks. "What did you expect? I couldn't have told you everything from the beginning." I cried and listened to my heart beat slowly. "We've been together for months. You could've told me sooner!" He grimaced and turned away. "How could I? You can't easily slip these things into a conversation." I sat up and fiddled with my fingers. I was scared that he'd leave me, just like my mother did. "It isn't about slipping it into conversation easily. Its about it being the topic of the conversation. For fucks sakes, you make an excuse for everything!" I hated when he yelled at me. Tears threatened to pour out of my eyes, but I refused to cry. Too much was going on for me to waste my time crying. "You're fucking dying Elias! This is shit you don't leave out when you're dating someone!" "Its not that serious." I argued, but it was a lie. It was serious. Very serious. My heart could give up on me at any moment. I watched as he shook his head in disappointment before leaving and slamming the hospital door shut. Without hesitation, the tears involuntarily fell down my face as I sobbed. - cover by @rosenoirwrites 🥺🥰
UNCONDITIONALLY YOURS
(COMPLETED) He's everything she hates. A rich, arrogant, cocky playboy. She should be repulsed by him, but from the first moment she met him face to face, her heart of ice ineluctably set on fire. He had one mission. Something he had struggled for his entire life. Something that he was so determined to do, he once believed there nothing that could stand in his way. He should have known better. Nothing that you long desperately enough for comes without a price. But what price do you have to pay when you start to spend a little too much time around the one you were born to despise. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I don't have anything to bribe you with, only my own words. Tell me, how will you ever be free if you do not take a risk every once in a while?" "I take risks." "You may take risks that give you freedom from your life, but I have a feeling this risk is a little different on many levels, correct me if I'm wrong." I began to think, did one single day really matter? Maybe it would help, maybe it was all I needed to stop thinking about him. "Make the most of it as it will both the first and the last time you are taking me to lunch, let alone ever seeing me again."Complete

(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off. "You'll have to show me, though." *** Amelia Hollis was a 23-year-old writer at one of the local publishing companies, assisting a very handsome man and writing articles left and right.
