Perfect Illusions

In the glamorous, cutthroat world of social media, influencers Amara, Jayden, Cami, and Sierra project lives of perfection. But behind the filters, their real lives are anything but. Amara dabbles in dark rituals, Jayden hides his broken ego, Cami crafts conspiracies to stay relevant, and Sierra struggles to stay true amidst the lies. 

When jealousy, betrayal, and revenge collide, their carefully crafted personas begin to crack, exposing each of them to a brutal reality they can't escape. 

Perfect Illusions dives into the cost of fame and deception, revealing how far some are willing to go to protect the illusion-even if it destroys them.

This story unfolds across six parts, each delving deeper into the dark secrets, hidden motives, and unexpected twists that shape the characters' lives.

𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀 𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓 (ANGEL) Older. Scary. Silent. Damon Lars was always lurking in the shadows, a sinister presence that scared me. It would be oblivious for me not to notice him even in the darkest areas. He was there. Maybe invisible to others, not to me. My brother's best friend, Damon, was notorious for his dark reputation. While I immersed myself in books, I could feel his gaze upon me. Sometimes, I feel him notice me too. No one knows what happens when all my brother's friends are busy. I saw him. Every day. And I vowed to keep my mouth shut. My secret. And his. STELLA RUSSEL (PRINCESS) Rich. Entitled. Bratty. That was me, and I'm proud. I hated Grayson Meadows. He constantly treated me as if I were a spoiled rich brat - which I was - our fathers being business partners made us around each other a lot. Despite his mocking, he always protected me, causing me to feel uneasy in his presence. If I harbor such animosity towards him, why do I find myself concerned for him too? I hate him. But I fucking need him more. LILIANA ROSELINE (DOLLFACE) Jaxon's intense gaze always sent shivers down my spine, as if he could see right through me. He was Marci's violent older brother, a brooding figure with a penchant for chaos. Danger seemed to emanate from him like a dark aura. Yet, amidst his menacing aura, he would fixate his eyes on me, as if I were the epitome of perfection. But could a girl, so perfect, ever be enticed by a man like him? Yes, because I'm so deep down in love with him. AVERY RAVEN (LITTLE DEVIL) Alessio, the loud figure, refers to me as the 'little devil' and feigns animosity towards me. He says he hates me a lot. However, deep down, I am aware that his feelings are quite the opposite. In the dead of night, when the world slumbers, he clandestinely dials my number on each of my birthdays, evoking an unsettling sensation within me. Until last summer, when everything went south and I ruined Alessio's life

If only it was an Illusion! by Aafrynn

"you're no one to me", his words echoed in my ears but what was it all when he kissed me; merely an illusion? It felt so real and lively. "...and just so you know, you're not allowed to leave this job until or before 6 months", he flung the contract papers in the air. I had signed the papers, the terms and conditions clearly meant that I was supposed to work for his company and had no right to leave it until his consent. "Leave my cabin for now", he ordered as he turned behind. ********** Amanda Waters is your typical College student who happens to face a lot of financial difficulties and as a result, is made to earn a living.

He's built a steady career, nurtured a close bond with his younger brother, Josh, and found what he believes to be true love with Emma. Together, they form an inseparable trio of laughter, loyalty, and shared memories. But beneath the surface of Alex's seemingly ideal world lies a dark truth he's never imagined. One impulsive decision-to come home early, brimming with excitement to surprise Emma-shatters his life in an instant, exposing an unimaginable betrayal that leaves him questioning everything he thought he knew. As Alex stumbles upon Emma and Josh entwined in the betrayal, they offer him a chilling invitation: to join them. Frozen in shock, he feels his reality slip away, each past interaction with his brother and girlfriend now colored by suspicion and deceit. Retreating into a spiral of doubt, Alex revisits every laugh, every touch, and every lingering glance, realizing he's ignored countless signs of their betrayal. Seeking solace, Alex turns to his best friend, Clara, who helps him navigate the haunting aftermath and face his own vulnerability. But when an old rivalry and hidden family secrets come to light, Alex realizes he was not merely a victim of his loved ones' choices. Years of simmering jealousy, familial favoritism, and emotional avoidance rise to the surface, pushing Alex to examine how he allowed illusions to dictate his happiness. As Alex begins to rebuild himself, he stumbles upon a final, shocking revelation: Emma never loved Josh either. Her affair with him was a calculated act, designed to "free" Alex from the lie he'd been living. Stripped bare of the illusions that once comforted him, Alex is left to confront his own worth and face the uncomfortable truth-he's spent years bound by a false sense of security, ignoring his inner voice.
