After Lena drowned, Mira and her father stopped speaking the same language-if they ever spoke it at all. He buries himself in his research on bioluminescent plankton, creatures that glow brighter when wounded. She bottles up her grief, pretending to be fine. Then she finds Lena's final, unsent letter.
"You both love in subtitles. I needed bold, ugly text."
The sleepwalking starts soon after. Always to the ocean. Always to the glow beneath the waves. Her father finds her there but says nothing-just like he ignored Lena's cries for help.
Until the storm. Until the tide pulls her under.

"W-What do you want?" I stammered, my eyes not leaving his gaze on me. "I want to prove you wrong." he smirks dangerously and speaks with his husky, deep voice. He took another step towards me and I took another step back making me collide with the wall. He hovers over me, his chest mere inches away from mine. He kept his hand on either side of me, caging me in his arms. He smirks dangerously and says, "That your body doesn't crave for my touch." He always does this, he intimidates me and then thinks I die for his touch. I would never allow his hand near me. Again. I grit my teeth and said "My body doesn't." He leaned closer to me, his hard chest pressing against my hardened nipples and whispered near my ear "Then why are you so nervous, rose?" He kept his mouth near my ear and his hand came on my bare legs. He slowly trailed his big, rough hands, making his way under my skirt. My breath hitched and he stopped mere inches from my core. No matter how hard I try to deny his touch, my body responds exactly the way he wants. My spine arched and my eyes snapped close. He breathed near my ear and whispered in his husky voice filled with sins, "No matter how much you deny, your body always craves for my touch, wife." ✤✤✤ Devansh Raichand, CEO of the top fashion label who only thrived for finding his father's murderer.

Butterfly's Year
" - We are in a church, - I remarked sensibly. - Absolutely, - he agreed with a pleasant purr that vibrated between my legs. - Your parents are standing right there, - I whispered, discreetly pointing to his mom and dad standing in front of the altar. - I think they can manage without us for a while, - he replied with a mischievous glint in his eye. - Come on, let's explore the bell tower. - Are you serious? - I asked, a bit confused between his kisses. - Would I have dragged you out here in the middle of the service otherwise? - You're a devil, - I declared, unable to stop myself from smiling. Wiktor said nothing, just gave me a diabolical grin and dove into my cleavage, sliding my dress off my shoulders. His hand traveled up my thigh under the frills and unceremoniously tore off my panties." Paulina finally managed to create a happy relationship with Wiktor. Unfortunately, it is overshadowed by her recently ended acquaintance with Alexander, whose messages are becoming increasingly disturbing.

Meanwhile, Paulina's father finally does what she always wanted and disappears from her life into a dark grave. But is it for good? And did he do it by himself, or did Paulina's ex-boyfriend, who is increasingly showing up around his former love, have a hand in his sudden disappearance? And where do the nightmares that are haunting Paulina more and more intensely come from?Complete
The Guy Who Called Me An A-class Bitch
"Well, because she's an A-class bitch." He replied, casually, like calling random girls a bitch was nothing too unusual. Cass gasped. "How can you say that? Do you have any idea what she does to guys who call her a bitch, wait no, didn't you also do that to the guy who called you ugly?" "Well, in the restaurant she was screaming at the both of us actually, thereby creating a scene, which doesn't exactly give a good person vibe off her. And the answer to your second question will be: I'd like to see her try." He explained, looking at me with a look of pure disgust. "Shut up." I yelled, loud enough for him to hear. Who did this guy think he was? I paid for his, Okay, their fucking dinner at eleven P.M. The least he could do was be polite to me or just shut up entirely. "And if I choose not to?" He questioned, looking amused. He's as good as dead then. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Jessica Walkers was just your everyday counsellor, nothing out of the blue. Her past...let's just not go into that.

When the Tide Rolls In [COMPLETED]
The tides are pulled and pushed, high and low. They never can find comfort, always changing. They run from the unknown open ocean and seek haven on the sands of the beaches. Then, they run back into the sea and away from the blistering sun, blinding the Earth with its light. One danger is escaped, only to be followed by another. Fear can kill. So can trust. There is no middle ground. One can only be pushed and pulled between the two. The motion, like the tides, continues forever. Or until the fear is overcome, and something special comes along. -- Join Samantha and Nick as they confront fear, trust, and the tides together. It all starts with a phone call, a boat, and twenty one million dollars. -- All Rights Reserved 2016. Seriously, this story is mine. Please don't copy or use without permission. WARNING!

The Light That Shines From Above
Heather has lived her entire life believing her mother is crazy. She doesn't believe the stories that were told to her as a child, the stories about men descending from the sky to take her. She rejects the false narratives and tries to help her mother the best she can even if that means constantly moving and preparing for the men to come back. She doesn't envision a life beyond this, never expected to leave her mother until she is forced to in the most unexpected way. When the men from the sky take her instead. *** It was a short debate but enough to push me over the edge. Pher was right. I was making this too difficult. I should just do it. I had been fighting myself on this for too long. I didn't care what he was, I wanted this. I stared at his lips as he spoke, my own tingling in response. "I could show you that if you wanted. Most of the other things you can do are outside of the esta-" I pushed up on my toes and crashed my mouth to his. My actions were unexpected and rushed. I could tell by his reaction. He reared back but not enough to separate us. His hand flashing to my arm to still us and then he froze. I thought for a second, based on his lack of response, I had picked the wrong time. Or maybe he had changed his mind from two days ago. I went to pull away, flushing lightly with embarrassment. I didn't get to disconnect our lips before he unfroze and reacted. His grip tightened, his other one going to my hair to hold my head in place as he kissed me back with more intent than I even had started with. My body flushed for a different reason now.Complete
The Forgotten Memories.
Lena had always felt like something was missing. There were gaps in her childhood, moments she couldn't quite grasp, as if they had been stolen from her mind. But when she stumbled upon an old, dust-covered box in her grandmother's attic, everything changed. Inside were faded photographs, letters written in a child's handwriting, and a locket she had never seen before-yet it felt so familiar. A strange sense of déjà vu washed over her as she traced the engraving on the locket: Forever Remember. As Lena pieced together the fragments of her past, memories long buried began to resurface-some warm and comforting, others dark and unsettling. She remembered laughter echoing through a sunlit house, the scent of freshly baked cookies, and the soft hum of a lullaby. But then, there were shadows-flashes of terrified screams, a locked door, and a name whispered in fear. Her heart pounded as she unfolded a fragile letter at the bottom of the box. The words sent a chill down her spine: Lena, if you ever find this, know that the truth was hidden to protect you. Do not dig further. Some memories are meant to be forgotten. But it was too late. The whispers in her dreams, the eerie familiarity of strangers on the street, and the overwhelming sense that she was being watched-it all made sense now. The forgotten memories weren't just from childhood. They were erased for a reason. And now, someone knew she was starting to remember.Complete
