What We Became in the Dark by sofiacortese

At St. Augustine's, an elite boarding school cloaked in ivy and secrets, Arabella and Blake were once inseparable. But grief, violence, and addiction tore them apart. Arabella drowns in the shadow of her mother's death; Blake bruises no one is supposed to see. What was once friendship has curdled into silence, then hostility. Yet within the ruin of their lives, something dangerous stirs. Drawn back together by pain as much as longing, their bond becomes a battlefield of resentment, desire, and forbidden trust. In the halls lined with whispers and the nights thick with smoke, they learn that love can be as destructive as the wounds that shaped them.

Without you by AnnaReynolds88

"You leave when I say you leave. I will tear you apart from the inside out until you loathe yourself, until you feel nothing-just like the murderer you are." Amelia came to college to bury her past. Ryder came to remind her. He's been watching, waiting, unraveling. Grief turned him cruel. Obsession made him dangerous. Amelia, the girl he swore to destroy, even as he aches to touch her again. Their connection is a battlefield, a storm of possession, jealousy, and pain. Amelia wants to move on. Ryder wants her to bleed. But beneath the rage is something darker: a love so twisted it feels like punishment. As secrets unravel and trauma resurfaces, Amelia must choose: reclaim her voice or be swallowed by his. Because some love stories don't heal and some burn. And this one leave scars that never fade.

Vaani:his forced bride {Edited Version} by hapwrites

𝐻𝐼𝑆 𝐹𝑂𝑅𝐶𝐸𝐷 𝐵𝑅𝐼𝐷𝐸 Bound by Fate. Trapped by Hate. Consumed by Obsession. She has been a prisoner her entire life-locked away, tortured, and left to drown in nightmares that never end. The world beyond her room is a mystery, and love? A fantasy she never dared to dream of. He is a prince and a ruthless CEO, a man who bows to no one. But even power couldn't save him from the trap set by her cruel uncle. Kidnapped and forced into an unwanted marriage, he sees his bride as nothing but a chain around his neck. A fragile, unwanted burden. But when he learns the truth-the horror she has endured-his hatred turns into something far more dangerous. Possession. Obsession. An undeniable craving to claim what was forced upon him. Yet, in the shadows lurks another-a woman driven to madness, in love with him to the point of destruction. She will kill, manipulate, and tear the world apart to have him, even if it means erasing the wife he never wanted. In a marriage forged by cruelty, love may not be the only thing that blooms... because sometimes, obsession is the deadliest poison of all.

Quicksand by eme-books

'Please,' I begged, tears streaming down my face. Adrik's gaze never wavered. 'Kiss me,' he repeated. My lips trembled, my heart heavy with fear." Tears streamed down my face as I stared at Adrik, his expression unyielding. "'Please,' I begged, my voice trembling. Adrik's gaze never wavered. "'Kiss me, and I'll feed your mother,' he said, his voice devoid of emotion. ************************************************* My dreams had always been clear: excel academically, attend Yale, land a fulfilling job, find love, and build a happy family. I longed for a peaceful life, filled with joy and stability. But then, a monster burst into my world, shattering my aspirations and claiming me as his own. His presence cast a dark shadow over every aspect of my existence, transforming my once hopeful dreams into a never-ending nightmare. His grip was unyielding, and I found myself trapped in a living hell, where my dreams seemed forever lost. The life I once envisioned was now a distant memory, replaced by a reality that was both terrifying and suffocating. #1 -forced relationship 31/10/2024 #1 -manipulation 17/11/2024

Virtue [NEW] by BraveAngel_007

I didn't come here to make friends. I came to the academy to start a war. Luxbridge Academy isn't what they all think it is: a prestigious school created to right the wrongs of troubled kids. It's built to turn people like me into weapons-cold, obedient, deadly. And I was ready for that. What I wasn't ready for was him. My rival. My roommate. My biggest mistake. He's reckless, infuriating, impossible to ignore, and the one person I can't afford to distract me. But in a place where pain is currency and loyalty gets you killed, he became my only real ally. We were never meant to trust each other. Never meant to care. Definitely never meant to fall. But we did. We escaped the cage. We thought that was the end. It wasn't. Because fate doesn't break the rules. It breaks you.

Just the Right Amount by patties4u

Violet Jones grew up under the heavy hand of her father's abuse. Survival became second nature, her only purpose to shield her younger brother from the same fate. Silence was her armor. Shadows, her refuge. At Thornwall Academy, she doesn't talk, doesn't seek friends, doesn't give anyone the chance to get close. Her classmates have another name for her: the witch. A girl who drifts through the halls untouchable, unreadable, and wrapped in rumors darker than the truth she hides. And then she meets Daniel West. Hockey star. Joker. Flirt. Best friend to the captain. The boy with the grin always ready, the line always waiting, the laughter everyone depends on. Violet is nothing like the people Daniel is surrounded by. While everyone else fights to be seen, she chooses to disappear. While people chase attention, she walks away from it. In a world where everyone wants something from him, she wants nothing at all. And that's what pulls him in. The more he notices her, the harder it is to stop. Not because she's quiet-but because she's different. Because she carries herself like she knows more about pain than anyone should. Because Daniel can't shake the feeling that if he doesn't try to understand her, no one ever will. But Violet's world isn't made for saving. It's built for surviving. And letting him close might be the most dangerous choice she's ever made.
