His Sweet Lies
Her brows furrowed. "You look like you have something specific you wanna ask me." The tips of Liam's ears turned red at Emma's very accurate observation. "I, uh... I usually just bullshit my way through projects, so I have no idea what the hell I'm doing." The corners of Emma's lips formed a small smile. Liam arched his brow. "What are you smiling at?" Her smile widened. "Nothing." Ever since Emma started going to Silver Creek High, she's been bullied over her discolored eyes. It all started when a boy brought attention to her in biology class one day, laughing at her and calling her a "freak" while the rest of the class laughed along with him.

In the Shadows of Emma (Male Reader)
Synopsis: What began as simple admiration quickly spiraled into an overwhelming obsession. Y/n doesn't just love Emma Myers - he needs her. Every smile, every word, every detail of her life is a fragment of a love that only Y/n can truly understand. From afar, he watched her, studied her, waited for the perfect moment. But watching is no longer enough. Emma needs to know they are meant to be together. And if fate won't make it happen, Y/n will do whatever it takes to ensure it does. Because true love knows no limits, fears nothing - not even a "no" for an answer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey, everyone! This time, I bring you the translation of the fanfic In Emma's Shadows (Male Reader), written by @juanelmataabuelas. This story really caught my attention - not only because the lovely Emma Myers is the protagonist, but also because it's the first time Y/n - or rather, we as readers - play the role of the stalker. The plot is full of manipulation, obsession, and toxic love. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.wattpad.com/story/391769935-entre-las-sombras-de-emma-mal%C3%A9-readerComplete
