Aurelia Knight.

She hated mirrors. She hated them as much as she hated working, for they were a constant reminder, a reminder that continued to devour her, day by day. For the pain that had come after that tragic night, the numbness, ruined her. 

After all, she had lost her world.

And even then she persisted, for the people who depended on her. For the people that were yet to leave her. And as she hid behind a smile and a cup of coffee, nobody noticed how tortured she was. I mean two-years were enough to forget, but for a girl that searched the whole universe for her world she hadn't forgotten. She wasn't sure she would ever. 

Or would she?Seluruh Hak Cipta Dilindungi Undang-Undang

Enchanted Love: The PAST-The PRESENT oleh NiharikaUniverse

~TOUCH HER AND SHE'LL KILL YOU~ They say the worst pain is losing someone. They're wrong. The real pain is knowing everything - every lie in a smile, every betrayal wrapped in love, every truth people try to bury. I see it all. I understand everyone... except myself. People look at me and see elegance, confidence, sharp intelligence. What they don't see is the silence I live in - a silence so loud it drowns my heartbeat. I used to think someone might come for me one day. Someone who wouldn't fear my mind or my power. Someone who would stay. But that kind of hope died when my parents did. Now I exist for one thing - revenge. No love. No attachments. No weakness. I don't need anyone. At least, that's the story I tell myself. - RAVEN ~~~ People fear heartbreak, betrayal, death. But you know what I fear? A life with no direction - drifting in an endless sea where strength means nothing. Everyone believes I'm the strongest man alive. The truth? Even mountains crumble if they stand alone too long. I've won wars, built empires, crushed enemies. But none of it fills the emptiness gnawing inside me. I move. I breathe. I survive. But I don't live. Some nights, I think what I really need isn't power... but a reason. A gravity strong enough to pull me out of the ocean I'm sinking in. A person who sees me - not the monster the world bows to. Until then, I drift. Silent, controlled, starving for something I'll never admit I want. - ARES

Elite Affairs - (Book one) oleh AnitaOEdward

(Sophomore) They stand facing each other, their eyes locked in an intense stare. The tension between them is thick, their dislike obvious. Her voice is quiet but sharp. "I can't stand you." "Same here," he mutters, his eyes filled with anger. But as they keep staring, something shifts. Their gazes dig deeper, as if searching for something hidden. The anger in their eyes slowly fades, replaced by something else-something neither of them wants to admit. "Why can't you just go away?" she whispers. "Because I can't stop thinking about you," he murmurs back. For a moment, they don't look away. Hatred and attraction mix in a way that feels impossible to untangle. 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 Açelya Bennett's life was forever altered when she left her home in Istanbul, fleeing the shadows of her father's financial struggles and the haunting memory of her mother's passing. She crossed continents to find refuge with her uncle and his wife in America, who enrolled her in an elite boarding school. In this rarefied world of privilege and pretension, Açelya struggled to find her footing. The entitled elite seemed to whisper cruel taunts in the hallways, their eyes piercing her like daggers. But one boy, Léon Richter, stood out - his chiseled features and piercing gaze seemed to bore into her very soul. Their initial encounters were a clash of wills, their words dripping with venom. Yet, as they continued to cross paths, their animosity slowly gave way to a forbidden attraction. As Açelya navigated this new world, she found herself drawn to Léon in ways she couldn't explain. Despite their differences, they found common ground, and their love blossomed in the unlikeliest of places. With Léon by her side, Açelya finally felt like she belonged, like she had found a true home. Photos are not mine 😘

SHE WOULD NEVER KNOW. oleh pretty_navii

Two truths, one lie. Two people, one lie. Your job? Find the liar and hunt them down. Your reward? Maybe you will get to live, but a happy ending isn't guaranteed. Sounds simple, right? Until it isn't. What if you fall in love in this game of survival? Well, then, congratulations. You just made this game even harder. ──★ "I loved you." I said while my voice broke a little, my gaze still fixated on his eyes. "And now?" He asked, his eyes turning red as if he was trying to hold back his tears. "I don't." ──★ Love does make people the best version of themselves, but what if that same love pulls you so down that you never find the courage to get up again?

Loving Mr. Cavalier oleh taty_ABM

When Liliana signed up to become a private flight attendant, she believed she had a general idea of what the job entailed. Strictly professional. What she didn't expect was for the mysterious, strict, straightforward Mr. Cavalier to take an interest in her outspoken yet naïve nature. With a stubborn billionaire refusing to take 'No' for an answer, Liliana finds herself on a ride of a lifetime, filled with heated close encounters, daring conversations, not to mention a dash of drama. Will Liliana be able to withstand Mr. Cavalier's lusty and endless pursuit? Or will the outspoken hostess reject the hot billionaire once and for all? __________________________________ He didn't speak. He never spoke. I knew that he was able to speak, but whenever I was around it seemed that I was the only one speaking. He didn't seem to enjoy my presence, but then again that wouldn't be true given that he requested for me to host, on my day off. His eyes were not friendly, his jaw and lips that never smiled told me to always be on guard. I could always feel his eyes on me, and I know its him, or else my heart wouldn't be acting the way it was. ... And yet, here I am, patting down the wrinkles on my skirt, as his car approached the Jet. I was rather angry. It was my day off. I wasn't even on call. I told Jenna that I wouldn't come in today and that he'd have to find someone else. Apparently this man didn't take "No" for an answer. He had his personal body guard arrive at my door, and I wouldn't be too surprised as to how he got my address. The scary man was ready to drag me from my house, I was driven to his private Aircraft and now I had to play hostess. When he stepped out of the car, his eyes looked up to me. Had he smiled or even acknowledged my presence, maybe I would be free to assume that he was happy to see me.

Thrown from a world of pain and hate into one filled with love and happiness, Aurelia wonders if she can handle it all.

Donna of shadows oleh k59j89b4txprivaterel

I used to believe monsters lived under the bed. Now I know better. They wear human skin. The chains bite into my wrists again as I try to squirm, but I don't cry anymore. Crying makes it worse. Crying makes me weak. That's what he says, anyway. "Big girls don't cry," he sneers, dragging the blade slowly across my stomach. "You're not a baby anymore, are you?" I try to be silent. I try to be still. But the pain makes my body twitch. The blood trickles like warm tears down my ribs. I squeeze my eyes shut and pray for the darkness to swallow me whole. It doesn't. I wish I could remember my mother's voice. My father's face. My brothers- Were they even real? Or just dreams I invented to survive? Time doesn't exist here. Only pain. And him. He says my name like it's a curse: Alessia. He tells me pain is my teacher. That fear will become my friend. That one day, I'll thank him for turning me into something more than a girl. He's wrong. I'm not more than a girl. I'm something else entirely. Because one day, I stop praying for the pain to end. I start learning from it. One day, I take the knife from his hand. One day, he bleeds. That's the day I stop being Alessia, the little girl. And I become something far worse.

Silk and Scars oleh gray_insaneZ

They took me when I was three. Since then, I've forgotten what safety feels like... what love is supposed to be. Every scar on my body tells a story-none of them with a happy ending. By day, I protect my little brothers. By night, I fight to silence the screams echoing in my head. There's no escape from this house. Not yet. But I haven't given up. Not completely. Sometimes, I wonder... What if there's more to my past than I know? What if I wasn't meant to live like this-trapped, broken, forgotten? And what if... just maybe... Someone out there still remembers me? Someone who could love me enough to bring me back to life?
