I wish this is the story of an unsmiling man and an insane optimist. 

I do. 

Instead, you get a bitter egomaniac who's too obsessed with making money, and a woman who wants to put an exclamation in every goddamn sentence.  

Her brain is light years ahead of the very peers who were paying me an ungodly amount of money to kick her out of her own company. 

In the process of finding 1000 ways to fire Irshita Madan, I (unwillingly) get to know the workings of her mysterious mind, which somehow doesn't seem wired to see how humanity was barrelling towards a rage-fuelled end. 

This isn't a story where I fall in love with her. 

This is the story behind the mammoth effort it took for a nihilist to stop himself from being worn down by an optimistic genius with the world at her feet.

The Villainess Became The Male Lead's Secretary by 7SevenFive5

Picture this: I suddenly find myself in a medieval fantasy world, like the ones I used to gobble up in books. But here's the comical conundrum: I've got no clue which exact story realm I've landed in. Well, you see, I have a habit of ditching books faster than a rabbit on roller skates if they don't captivate me. So now, I'm stuck navigating this new world armed with nothing but recycled plotlines, overused clichés, and predictable story arcs. It's like I'm playing a game with rules as simple as connecting the dots, but with my luck, it'll probably end up being more like connecting the dots during an earthquake! Who knows what kind of hilariously bizarre situations I'll find myself in? Original Story.

I Crash You by crescentmon

[NOTE: ICY HAD COMPLETED THE HEAVY EDITING CREAM, PLEASE INFORM ME IF THERE'S STILL ANY MISTAKE. THANKS] Lynx Farren had always acted base on her impulse instead of her logic, mostly leading to the worst out of the worse decision a human can make in any circumstances that she gets, even to the most trivial things. She didn't exactly has a sweet little mouth for no reason either, contradictory to her childish trait. She now worked in a tiny office due to an unfortunate 'small' event that causes a huge effect on her careers path. One day, she met this hot guy on a blind date and happens to meet him a few more times randomly here and there. ~~~ "Baby.. I can't believe it's you." I touched his biceps. Ouch, they were thicc. "I still couldn't get over you. Please, let me explain. It was a misunderstanding. It really was. Give me a chance." I pleaded emotionally. I know I'm a great actress but right now I only need one more thing. Get out tears, get the fucking out, please. "Excuse me?" His eyebrows quirked. "Oh, it must've been hard for you. It was too much. I know, I know it's still a traumatic event for you. But calm down, please, let me explain." He opened his mouth, and nah. Before he could utter any word, I proceeded with my monologue drama. "Okay, what about we talked about it at your place? Where we first kissed, spend the night, making love, all of our memories of love were held." Finally! There, slided my masterpiece, my crystal clear crocodile friggin tears. I drew back my hand. ~~~ Note: It's all about the progress. A weirded out 1st champion of humor/comedy in The Life Elements Awards. Warning: full of swear words, because - she likes it.

She was a passionate Kathakali Dancer, she is unparalleled at studies, she is gracious by heart, timid and self-consciousness by brain because since childhood She was listening to only one word, and that was She has a excessively dusky skin complexion, and No guy would ever wish to love her body. She doesn't mind having toxic people around her, who instead of encouraging her for her exceptional merits, finds opportunities to taunt her for her darkish face colour. But sometimes She yearned to have an understanding partner or a friend, who would have understood her situation, and helped her to come out of the delusion that She isn't made to be loved, and she doesn't deserve to have high expectations from anyone. Her hope of receiving love from someone was dwindling each and every day, and The stinging comments thrown by her own folks about her inability to look beautiful was shattering her heart awfully.

There was someone, who always loved her for her calibre and courteous nature. He never disliked her dull skin. But He knew he wasn't the appropriate guy with whom this girl could spend her whole life. He knew he wasn't qualified enough to be in her liking list, that is why He never summoned up courage to confess his love to her, to that girl whom He gifted his heart for lifetime. Will She ever accept that She isn't born to be hated by this judgemental society? Will she ever know the feelings of her one-sided lover?

Wolves Den by Koda122

Remi has always loved the forest, the different sounds, smells, the way she could get lost in it and never have to go home to her non-existent parents. She goes in and out of her life with her best friend everyday just waiting until they're both old enough to leave their small boring town. But one day Remi is attacked, and nearly killed, by a man in the forest. When she wakes up everything's different. She feels something inside her, a power, but she has no idea what happened to her. All she remembers is the man's strange yellow eyes. When three new boys show up at her school, one with yellow eyes, asking her question she gets nervous. And then one night while heading to go get her friend she's taken and thrown into a world she didn't know existed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Remi?" Jen says suddenly. "Hmm?" I hum back. "Do you ever wish you could just live in the forest? Away from everyone and everything?" She looks at me. "Free." We stare at each other for a long time. I see the real meaning in Jen's eyes. Her worries for going home to her overly strict parents. Her fears for the future and the unknown in general. "If we lived in the forest we wouldn't have gummy bears any more." I comment to lighten the mood. She doesn't find it funny. "I'm serious Remi! What if we did run away?" "Jen, we can't just run away. I know your parents are strict but I truly think they just want what's best for you." She says nothing. For a moment I fear she's mad at me but then she puts her head on my shoulder and I know we're okay.

He asked me unbelievably. "Yes, is that a problem?" I raised my chin. Sam chuckled. "Of all the things, you selected the project to confess your feelings? You do realise that you are the bottom-ranked student and he is the top-ranked in his batch and a university gold medalist?" "I have no other way to approach him. Michael is not interested in anything else and we don't have much time left," "How can you be so sure that it's Michael?" "Because I believe in destiny," I said. "You know, 'Someone somewhere is made for you, I think that person is Senior Michael for me and I am in love with him." "What!? You love him?" Sam stopped on his track. "Yeah." "You sure are weird," he muttered. "Anyway, I am really looking forward to seeing you prove it." "What about the project?" I looked at him hopefully. "Since I am the...um...last-ranked student in the class, he won't select me." "I will think of a way," he promised. "Thank you, Sam!" I said excitedly. "I will never forget this help."

LET ME HATE YOU by AnjaaniSadek

Ever wonder how your supposed best day of life will turn into a lifelong nightmare. Two people, two different worlds yet bound by the same emotion, "HATE" and "same loved ones". Marriage is intended to be an eternal bond filled with love and happiness. This was far from the truth for Asmaira and Amaan. Two broken souls entangle in the game of destiny which ended their dream of everlasting love. For one, it was a journey of regret which she has to live for the rest of her life. But why?. For other, he was forced yet he promised to seek revenge for sure., for seeking "Her" place. Who is Amaan referring to as "Her"? Who is this "loved ones" that connects both Asmara and Amaan and why do they hate each other so much without even meeting each other? "Please......." the only word that she could manage to say while trying to get out of his grip and sobbing. "Please......Let..........Me..........Go, " she stammered in between her hiccup, shaking her head with pleading eyes and folded hands. "Don't be afraid honey! I realized my mistake of not accepting you as my wife and to mark the start of our marriage how about I gift you something, " He whispered while leaning close to her ear emphasizing on the word 'gift'. Sensing her fright, he placed his hand on her waist while using the other to stroke her cheek, "how about giving you a baby tonight?". He spoke with an evil smirk. " I know it is your first time and I promise to be gentle with you, My Wife" Note: This is the first draft of the story and since then had not been edited as I'm busy writing my other stories on "Booknet." If you find typos or grammatical mistake or narration is not perfect, kindly ignore since your feedback about it would be of no use as you are reading an unedited story. I would edit it once the sequel to Kabir Hashmi is finished. And yes please be considerate when you comment. First, it's a fictional story and second, it's someone's hardwork. #5 in torment-Sept 2020 #2 in torment-23rd Sept 2020
