Lovely obsession von jannelllllllllll

Let's continue this game. Two people. Five fates. And there are quite a lot of problems. So much so that when I finally opened my eyes in the hospital, I realized that a large shadow was hanging over me. My own darkness. Roman Kirillov. This time, I know how to do it right. Because one wrong move - and death still keeps me away next time.

Shadows of Control von Munirah37

In the frozen heart of St. Petersburg, Dmitry Ivanov rises from the ashes of poverty to become a king without a crown, ruling an empire forged in shadows. Fueled by relentless ambition, his vision of control extends beyond wealth and power, into the realm of human lives. His "ghosts," children bred and trained to be perfect instruments of obedience, are the foundation of his dark legacy. But in the depths of this empire, sparks of defiance flicker. Camilla Mikhailov, a woman born into privilege but haunted by truths she cannot ignore, and Igor, one of Dmitry's most loyal "ghosts," find themselves questioning the world they've known. As their paths collide, they must decide whether to confront the forces that shaped them-or be consumed by them. "Shadows of Control" is a gripping tale of ambition, betrayal, and the enduring fight for freedom. With vivid prose and morally complex characters, it takes readers on a harrowing journey into a world where the only choice is to resist... or obey. Will power prevail, or will humanity's light break through the darkness?

Stab Me Again ( Season 1 ) von ZVesper

The room was shrouded in shadows, its silence broken only by the hum of machines and the flicker of CCTV feeds. In the center sat a figure, cloaked in a black coat and mask, his presence a chilling force. This was Anubis, the enigmatic leader of the Eye of Anubis-a name spoken in whispers of fear. The door hissed open. A young woman entered, her steps hesitant. "Boss," she began, her voice tight with tension, "Sophia's being approached by people from Mitchell's family." Anubis turned slowly, his masked face revealing nothing but cold, piercing eyes. "What were you doing at that time, Alexa?" She faltered. "I couldn't stop her from meeting people........ If she recovers her memories, isn't that the only thing we want?" The air grew heavier. Anubis's voice was a sharp blade. "Let them meet her, but make no mistakes. If she dies, we lose everything." As Alexa exited, Anubis's gaze returned to the screen. There she was-Sophia, sketching on a balcony, unaware of the eyes watching her. Unaware of the storm closing in. And in the silence of the room, one truth loomed: the past was catching up. And with it, destruction.

An Illicit Matrimony von Rose79808964

"You're getting married, Ines." Papa says, looking out the window with a cigar hanging loosing between his fingers. I let out a loud chuckle, that probably goes against whatever protocols a Lady should follow, according to Mrs. Orlov. "Very funny, papa." I see him turns his head to look at me, his eyes serious and devoid of any of the warmth that was there in the morning. Shit, he cant be serious, right?

Destined Glances von MaximilianKasinAshe7

Safiya was patiently waiting for her hot chocolate when she accidentally glanced towards the most beautiful man she had ever seen. Her heart skipped a beat as her eyes met with the beautiful man. His striking features up close left be captivated. Though it was just a second, she couldn't stop thinking about his facial features. His light skin contrasted perfectly with the dark, meticulously styled hair that framed his sharp jawline and distinct facial features. He wore a sharp navy blue business suit accentuating his fit, tall frame. There was an intensity in his gaze that made her pulse quicken, a silent strength that drew her in. As she turned to leave, she had to fight the urge to look back at him. The memory of his piercing eyes and confident stance lingered in her mind. The strike of the momentary interaction made her feel beautiful, his beauty leaving an undeniable mark on her heart. But what began as a fleeting glance quickly spiralled into something far deeper as Safiya, the quiet and diligent university student, became entangled in a dangerous world she didn't even imagine to exist. Levant's presence, both comforting and enigmatic came at a cost. Traumatic experiences tested Safiya's strength and shattered the calm she once knew, leaving Levant no choice but to disappear, taking his secrets and his shadowed life with him. - A short University love story based on a mix of fictional and non-fictional characters, events, and environments.
