No matter how hectic their lives became, Vivian and Richard Ashton always made time to read bedtime stories to their daughter, River. For years, they wove wild and adventurous tales that River was too young to fully grasp but somehow still lingered in her mind.
Then, one night, tragedy struck, leaving River all alone. A decade later, now sixteen, she's haunted by questions that no one will answer. When she uncovers the old stories again, a chilling realization dawns: these weren't just bedtime tales. They were a cryptic message from her parents. A puzzle left behind to lead her toward a truth darker than she could've ever imagined.

Me and the Devil
When River was fourteen, his parents were found murdered in their home. He never explained what happened that night. He never defended himself. He never spoke at all. Five years later, the silence is finally broken - not by River, but by the court granting him a new trial. Until then, he is released into the custody of his godfather Adam, a high-profile lawyer who has believed in River's innocence from the beginning. Amber is not so sure. To her mother, who is River's godmother, he is a danger that should never have been allowed back into their lives. To her father, River is a broken boy failed by the system. To Amber... he is the ghost of her childhood. The friend she once loved. And the stranger she no longer understands. River returns colder, unreadable, and beautiful in a way that makes Amber's heart ache with something she wished she had outgrown. But behind his quiet stare lies something darker - a truth he has kept locked inside since the night everything changed. Everyone wants to know what happened. Everyone wants answers. But only River knows the truth. And the closer Amber gets to him, the more she wonders if some secrets are better left buried.

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
