"Her smile is like a drug-one hit, and you're hooked for life!"
The clang of swords, the spell formulas and the taste of ale permeated Maximilian Croyso's life, echoing through her heart. Her divorce wasn't just a legal split; it shattered her dreams. Once tormented by her father's abuse, she now bore the scars of her husband's betrayal. Her past clung to her like rusty armour, each memory cutting deep.
Amidst the wreckage, a spark ignited a desperate ember seeking solace. Maximilian yearned for autonomy, determined to forge her destiny. She was no longer a pawn in others' games, but she vowed to rise from the ashes. The world had dealt its blows, but she would not yield. With resolve, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery, seeking sanctuary within herself.
The path was treacherous, but she moved forward, her steps defiant against fate. Taverns whispered tales of her resilience, swords clashing a symphony of her defiance. No longer defined by those who hurt her, she wielded her sword, carving her destiny. Her scars became constellations, guiding her toward a new horizon where vulnerability was her strength.
Maximilian Croyso set sail on her voyage of liberation. In the quiet of moonlit nights, she whispered her name, a mantra of resilience: "Maximilian." She transformed pain into power, becoming the architect of her own legend.

Rejected Love {COMPLETED}
My mate. So weak. So pathetic. I have a weak and pathetic mate. I thought as I looked at her in disgust and displeasure. Just like me when I was human. She is human! I don't want a mate. I don't want a weak and pathetic mate! She can't fix me! She's nothing! Screw this! My thoughts were going berserk with the rushing flashes of my past. I tucked my hand through my hair roughly in an unsuccessful attempt to stop the replay of those horrible evocations. I laid her on the small grass patch at the side of the deserted road. She was half-conscious, so possibly she could hear me... "Hey!" I said, jerking her pale face gently. Blood was covering half of her face but she was still looking beautiful in the moonlight. The sparks weren't going unnoticed and I reminded myself that it was just the mate-bond. I was determined in my decision and there was no way I was going to change it. The girl opened her eyes slightly and with that, I did what I thought was right at that time. "I, Kane Wilson, reject you as my mate!" I said, with all the strength I could have mustered in my miserable state of emotions and with that, I left her there, feeling extreme pain in my heart. But I pushed that pain aside and ran from there in my ultimate inhuman speed. Away from her! Still feeling the Rejection Pain. *~*~*~*~*~*~* He rejected her when she didn't even know what he meant for her. And after nine years, when he met her again, he found himself craving for her, seeking her attention, her love. He had fallen for her... with no return. But would she accept him now?!

The Billionaire's Ex-Wife
Love. It was infuriating yet strangely addicting. It swirls in unknown waters, testing its limits before striking. The sensation of its claws digging into your flesh was all it took for it to become entranced. And then everything collapsed. Everything began to untangle. Everything slowly crumbled to ground. Everything began to fall apart. And you found yourself in the centre of it all, your hands cradling your heart as tears trickled down your cheeks, the salty liquid creating a dark patch on your jeans as it hit the soft fabric. You're vulnerable. You're scared. You're hurt. You're broken. But when you finally have the courage, to wipe away an trace of a broken heart. When you finally lift yourself from the dark pit you had created. When you finally patch together the remnants of your shattered soul. When you finally close your eyes. When you forget. When you become invincible. When you finally heal. It all comes back. Everything. Like an arrow that had been shot in your back, your eyes widening from the unforeseen attack. That's what happens. Because love is dirty. Love was the ugly, ever changing shadow that would snarl at you, jeering at your pitiful state. But then it was also the beautiful stroke of the paintbrush, as the brush winded across the canvas, the colours flourishing into life. Love was a demon, yet also an angel in disguise. That was love. _____________________________________ [ WARNING ⚠ : I wrote this as an inexperienced pre-pubescent so prepare for a cringefest.

The man, she could hear him speaking. What was he saying? Breathe. She inhaled a deep breath. And another. Then another. Things started to clear. "Breathe. That's right," the warrior coaxed. She started to take another settling breath, and his face came more into focus. The first thing she noticed was his piercing green eyes. She had never seen eyes quite like that before. She stared into them, mesmerized. He mimicked a breath and she took it with him. She was coming back. "I will not hurt you," the man kneeling before her promised. Anna knew better than to believe him. What was it he had said? Oh. "You...you said...you said 'no witnesses'." She was shaking violently. She took another deep breath.

But his anger,the hurt which was the reflection of the betrayal,the secret of his husband's secretary he had unraveled soothed from the kiss. "I am yours Minghao. I am only yours.
