Still You
They didn't win the prize money. But they walked away with something far more dangerous: a real relationship in a fake reality world. Olandria thought the hardest part was surviving the villa. Turns out, it was surviving the spotlight. Now that the cameras are gone, the hate is louder, the headlines are messier, and the love? It's tested every single day. He's the white boy the internet swears would never choose a girl like her. She's the Black woman fighting to exist without defending her worth. But what they have isn't up for debate. Not after the way he protects her. Not after the way she opens up only for him. Not after all the podcasts, fan edits, betrayals, and backlash. This isn't a fairytale. This is fame, love, racism, and real loyalty wrapped in one messy, passionate, slow-burning storm. And through it all - it's still him. It's still her. Still You.Complete

The Alpha's Softest Sin
"If she dares to run, she'll learn that mercy from me is sharper than cruelty." Tristan's POV She is the fire in my veins, the only ache I cannot kill. One breath from her and I am undone-beast and man both caged by her nearness. "Her nearness poisons me, yet I would drink her a thousand times over." "You don't see it yet, little flame... but your heart is already mine. If love does not bind you to me, chains will. If tenderness fails, I will wield obsession like a blade until you bleed only for me. The world may kneel or burn, I don't care- because you are the only sin I'll never repent, the only war I was born to win." "I would tear out my own soul, if she asked-yet cage hers if she runs." By Tulip
