Ang hirap pala makipaglaban sa mundo na puno nang mapanghusga.

Ang hirap pala makipagsabayan sa ibang tao na animo'y katapusan na ng mundo.

Ang hirap pala tumayo muli at ngumiti.

Ang hirap pala, lalo na kapag wala kang kakampi.

Mahirap.

Akala ko kakayanin ko kahit wala akong kakampi. Pero hindi pala. Akala ko lang pala 'yon. Akala ko lang.

Pinanganak ako bilang isang matapang na babae, bilang isang mapagmahal na anak at hindi mapanghusgang tao. Pero sa paglipas ng taon, nalaman ko na ang mga tao ang mapanghusga, hindi ang mundo.

Ang hirap pala makipaglaban sa mundo na puno ng mapanghusga. Akala ko, kaya kong lagpasan ang lahat ng problema, ang lahat ng sakit. Pero hindi pala ganun kadali. Ang hirap pala tumayo muli kapag paulit-ulit kang pinapabagsak ng parehong bagay-mga salita, mga tingin, mga inaasahan ng ibang tao.

Lumaki akong naniniwala na kaya kong dalhin ang lahat. Bilang panganay sa apat na magkakapatid, naging responsibilidad ko na maging matatag, hindi lang para sa sarili ko kundi para rin sa pamilya ko. Pinanganak akong matapang, sabi nila. Pero sa totoo lang, hindi ko na alam kung totoo pa 'yon.

Ang hirap makipaglaban sa mundong puno ng mapanghusga. Araw-araw, gumigising ako na tila may bumubulong sa akin: "Hindi ka sapat. Hindi ka maganda. Hindi ka karapat-dapat." At kahit anong gawin ko para patahimikin ang bulong na 'yon, lalo lang itong lumalakas.

Kahit anong gawin ko, parang laging may mali sa akin. Lumaki akong matapang, sabi nila, pero sa totoo lang, hindi ko na alam kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng lakas.

May mga araw na pakiramdam ko, kaya ko pa. Pero mas madalas, parang ayoko nang bumangon. Ayoko nang ipakita ang sarili ko sa mundo na tila wala nang ibang alam kundi husgahan ako.

Iniwan ng pamilya at ipinagkatiwala sa mayamang lola, pinilit niyang magpatuloy sa buhay, subalit ang kalungkutan mula sa pagkakahiwalay sa pamilya ay naghatid sa kanya sa madilim na landas. Sa bawat hakbang, nagiging mahirap ang pagkontrol sa kaguluhan sa kanyang buhay-pag-takas sa gabi, clubbing, at pagkalulong sa bawal na gamot dulot ng pag-sama sa iba ibang kaibigan. Lahat ng ito ay naging paraan ni Viena upang matakasan ang kanyang pinagdadaanan, ngunit hindi nito naalis ang sakit sa kanyang puso. Sa kabila ng lahat ng ito, isang tao lang ang patuloy na nagmamahal sa kanya-ang kanyang half-brother na si Lucas. Ngunit dahil sa takot na muling maiiwan, tinanggihan niya ito, iniisip na hindi siya karapat-dapat sa pag-mamahal.

This story shows how invisible wounds in the heart and body can lead a person into overwhelming turmoil, while the pursuit of happiness and fulfillment becomes a battle against one's own demons. The real question is: How far can Vee continue, despite the pain she endures? Let's see if she can ever achieve the essence of the title "Chaos: The Spark Behind the Muse".
Venom's Alliance: Loyalty's Fracture by LunarisAryson
32 parts Complete Mature
Kalia's POV : Freedom ain't real. It's just a pretty lie people tell themselves to sleep better at night. Me? I've never been free. Not when I was born into a life where people used me like a tool. Not when I thought I escaped, only to get dragged back in. And sure as hell not now, trapped in a marriage I never wanted with a man who loves me like an addiction-obsessive, toxic, suffocating. Easton swears I belong to him. Calls me his, like I'm a possession, not a person. But I was never meant to be owned. Not by him. Not by anyone. And yet... I'm craving the one person I can't have. The one man I shouldn't want. Jay Kim. My husband's best friend. The only person who looks at me like I'm more than a pawn in someone else's game. The only man who's ever made me feel safe. But love in this world? It don't come without consequences. And choosing Jay? That'd be the kind of mistake that gets people killed. Jay's POV: I never wanted this empire. It was my uncle's before me-a kingdom built on blood, corruption, and greed. But when he fell, I had two choices: take control or let worse men have it. So I took it. And now? I'm doing what he never could. I'm fixing the mess he left behind. Cleaning up the dirt while keeping the wolves from tearing it apart. But then she came back. Kalia Gomez. The only woman who's ever made me want something outside of this life. The one I can't have-because she belongs to someone else. Not just anyone, either. Easton. My friend. My brother in arms. I should walk away. Should forget about the way she looks at me when no one's watching. Should ignore the way my pulse fucking riots every time she's close. But it's too late for that. Because I might be trying to clean up this empire... But for Kalia? I'd burn it all down.

That person may look like an angel on the outside but acts like a devil on the inside! How much longer do I have to keep pretending I'm not the one secretly helping him? And yet, why does my heart race every time he comes near me ? This must be hate, not love. Others might worship him and claim to know everything about him, but I don't care. Just because he's famous and comes from a wealthy family doesn't mean I have to like him too! That will never happen. Or.. could it? Is this hatred really here to stay, or will it morph into something entirely unexpected? NATHA ETHAN JACE : Age 23. - A recent graduate of New York University. The youngest of three siblings, born into the powerful and influential Jace Legacy. Holds a deep resentment toward his father. Quick-tempered and cold-hearted yet strict and diligent when it comes to work, even though he despises it. Only kind to those he genuinely cares about. Known as "the little devil" for his fiery attitude. Incredibly handsome, drawing attention wherever he goes. Despite his achievements, he detests being labeled a co-founder, celebrity, influencer, or CEO-titles he reluctantly accepted to uphold the family reputation. MAX BLAZE : Age 27. - A business university graduate and proud owner of a thriving small café, a childhood dream inspired by his mother. Comes from a modest, middle-class background with one younger sister. Warm, friendly, and compassionate, he has a knack for bringing joy to those around him. Deeply loyal and devoted to his family. Strong and athletic yet tender-hearted, he empathizes with others effortlessly. Prefers personal, genuine connections over social media, which he rarely uses. Strikingly attractive, with a ✟ tattoo on his right arm adding a rugged charm to his appearance. And then, their worlds collided, shattering the carefully constructed walls around them. - NATH: Try to push me away all you want. It won't work. MAX: Is this how someone idolized by the world is supposed to act?
