Killer Darlings by Valentinaxwritezz

A Romantic-Thriller | Suitable for: 16+ This story begins where another ends-with a death. Love doesn't bloom here in innocence; it ignites in the ashes of loss. Virat Singh Bedi, Ritu Singhania, and Heer Singhania are caught in a web of fate so twisted, it refuses to be unraveled. Virat and Ritu were in love, on the brink of becoming one-until tragedy struck. On the night of their engagement, Ritu is ruthlessly murdered. Her killer remains a ghost, but Virat-fierce in love, relentless in revenge-sets his soul ablaze to uncover the truth. In his hunt for vengeance, Virat storms into Heer's life-Ritu's sister-and she becomes collateral in a war she never chose. Their marriage is forced, stitched together by grief and secrets. Yet somehow, love finds a way to creep in. But fate is a cruel mistress-it never lets lovers rest. Not all players are visible. Some puppeteers remain in the shadows, twisting the game moment by moment. In this world of shifting loyalties and deadly truths, the price of love is blood-and survival is never promised. So step into this murderous season of love-where hearts collide, secrets kill, and only the dead stay loyal. Because, in this house full of secrets, everyone is an actor. But only one man is writing the script. And he doesn't believe in happy endings.

Survive by MakeMeBeArsedForOnce

Hi, MakeMeBeArsedForOnce here, There was a description here, as well as the link to the original image. However, for some reason, the description and title was completely erased. I can't remember what was here or what the link was so I completely apologise for the inconvenience. Hopefully, down the line, I'll be able to read through the story to write in a new description for you all. But trust me, like any other story, I worked a lot on this so I hope, even without a description, you would read it. Thank you for understanding! 30/3/25 | 3/30/25

My Bleeding Heart by w1n3ry_

Hello. This is a story much like "The Hunger Games". You'll know what I mean once you read. Anyway, this story will have various *Trigger Warnings* so *proceed with caution*. I know the cover looks a little odd but I do fully intend to change it. Just not as of now. This is very much a story you will have to read to know what it's about in detail. Keep in mind I haven't written a story or book in more than 2 years. So this is definitely a little sloppy, but I hope it's at least up to pare. I'm not exactly expecting this to get much attention, I actually don't know if I want it to get any at all. But, here we are. I hope y'all enjoy if you do decide to read. :) ‼️NOTICE‼️ This book will involve many sensitive topics and content. Proceed with caution. Things it will include, but are not limited to: SH, Slurs, Death, Murder, Abuse, Racism, Ableism, Gaslighting, Delusions, Hallucinations, Medication, Abuse Of Power, NSFW/Smut Etc.

Runners by rbooks01

They balance each-other out. One the calm, the other the storm. Except when they don't. Except when she loses it and makes the place burn...literally. Who knew a burnt building would lead to three lost brothers across the country and a big ass house...after being on the run for almost a year. The twins are in for a crazy ride, but they're in it together. Always. Pinky promise. Will it be enough? TW: abuse, SA, r*pe, and mature language/scenes. (I suck at descriptions, but it would mean a lot if you gave my book a try! <3 ) *Unedited* 🌻 Started ~ 24/09/21 ~ 🌻 🌻 Finished ~ 25/01/22~ 🌻

Hollow (2017) by SameeraGemma

I fall to the floor, but with enough concentration I manage to stand. "Why are you doing this?" I hiss, struggling to keep my balance. "Most people think the most important piece on the chess board is the king, or the queen or the rook; some even think it's the bishop." "You killed him, didn't you?" "I like to think it's the pawn." He taunts, coming to stand in front of me. "Underestimated and yet the most dangerous...with a little patience it can become anything. Quite interesting, don't you think?" "I'm not in the mood for your little mind games." "Will you do as you're fucking told or are we going to have a problem?" He asks with barely restrained fury, his eyes holding mine captive, making it clear that I'm supposed to give him an answer. "I guess we're gonna have a problem."

Execution Notice SEASON 1 by AnarchieFerrell

"I will make everyone in this room play 7 games, and to whoever survives until the last game, shall be granted protection from a death sentence, and will be set free of criminal charges and sentences" "Excuse me! But what's the catch?" "If you fail in a game, you will be killed" Imagine if you were convicted of a crime, and you will be executed and killed for your sin, but what if someone gives you a chance to have another life. Just play a couple of games and if you survive, they will spare you, and set you free? Will you take it? This is what Tyson soon finds himself asking to himself as his miserable life continues on and on.

Lose Everything(2/2) by MikushX

You're starving. Starving for fun, starving for satisfaction, starving for victory. As time goes on, you want more and more. You feel like you are going insane. You feel that this is becoming dangerous. If you don't stop now, you will regret it forever. No matter how you look at this game, you have to finish it. There is no way back. This is why you will only choose one path, and that is the path of victory. What would happen if there was a war between gods and goddesses? What if the goddesses are tired of being outsiders of the gods and they decide to fight against them. Therefore, they determined to show their strength to everyone. It's time to step onto the chessboard and show them the girl's power. Who will win? Gods or Goddesses? Love, revenge, hatred, friendship, mystery, betrayal - all together in one story.
