The House That Whispers by beingillusionist

It wasn't supposed to be a rescue. It wasn't even supposed to be real. A drunken dare. A reckless chase. A twisted game. Harry and his friends entered the house with one thought-to take what wasn't theirs. But the moment they crossed the threshold, the game turned against them. The doors locked. The walls shifted. Their desires became chains, their laughter swallowed by silence. At first, they thought it was a man-a monster lurking in the dark, toying with them. But the deeper they went, the more the truth clawed at their sanity. The house was alive. And it wanted them to suffer. Time unraveled. Lust turned to regret. Hunger turned to madness. Their mistakes tightened like a noose, and soon, Harry found himself losing more than just his way. He was losing them. And the house was still watching. Because no one leaves until it is done with them. The House That Whispers

The story of bullying and romance and gangs. And abuse. It shows how any life can get out of hand. "My boyfriends father is choking me! Because I won't let him rape me!" Does she give in or not? "My family will be looking for you and me. They will come save me so you better let me go." "Your family isn't your family no more we hear that you have gone different paths is that not true. And before you lie. We have a lie detector here. And if anyone goes looking for you they will see your note that you will be gone for awhile." My fear started to eat at me. The overthrowing urge of vomiting came across my body. Does she get out or is she gone forever.

BLOOD AND ASHES by aestjesis
18 parts Ongoing Mature
The sky hangs heavy, thick with the promise of rain. A storm brews-not just in the heavens, but in the veins of Southeast Asia itself. Vince was never meant for this. Not the silk ties. Not the whispered deals over hundred-year-old whiskey. Not the polished smiles of men who once paid to see him bleed. He was a fighter, a rogue carving his name into the bones of the streets, but now-now he's trapped. The suit fits like a noose, the power a loaded gun pressed against his own temple. Play along, stay alive. That was the deal. But in the shadows of the Southeast Asian Summit, deals are meant to be broken. The air crackles with the tension of something about to snap. Old ghosts slip through the cracks, alliances shift like sand beneath his feet, and somewhere out there-watching, waiting-is Reika. His fire. His fury. His anchor in the storm. And when she finds out what they've done to him, what he's become, hell itself won't hold her back. The battlefield has changed. It's no longer fists against flesh, bones against concrete. It's a war of deception, fought in whispers, signed in blood behind closed doors. Vince has one shot to break free before the machine swallows him whole. But can you fight when the enemy has already crawled inside your head? And worse-what if this time, the storm takes him under for good?
BROKEN COURAGE (Broken Redemption Book 3) by ArianaClarkAuthor
73 parts Complete Mature
While tortured and held captive as a prisoner of war, she became my reason to keep breathing. The force that fueled my will to fight. To survive. When I woke after the rescue to discover the life I thought I was coming home to was but a figment of my imagination, hallucinations brought about by pain, desperation, and isolation... it nearly broke me. Fifteen years since I first lost her, at last, we have a second chance. Holding her in my arms, finally feeling the warmth of her skin as she melts under my touch, is like a dream. She and her two little girls are now as essential to my existence as the air I breathe. However, just as things start falling into place, the universe steps in, threatening to take it all away. I used to think that choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved, but now I see that in choosing her and her children, I have the chance to reclaim all that I lost. They are my salvation. My true path to redemption. Which is why I'll leave no stone unturned, why I will scorch this world to the ground if that's what it takes to save them. And when I do, I will fight to convince her once and for all they are meant to be mine, just as I was destined to be theirs.
Avarice Blacksteel Book 2 by Xonereth
43 parts Complete Mature
Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.
