A delicate and professional doctor and surgeon, Klara Hawthorne who worked hard to achieve what she wanted, she wasn't born as a talented youth.
Fate brought them together.
War brought them together.
"You are the worst. You are the worst person I've ever made. You are just a selfish and harsh man who thinks he controls every single thing and I- I wish never to cross paths with you again"
Klara panting as she started to realise tears began to well in her eyes.
"You stated nonsensical stuff like that, knowing.." Lukas took a few steps towards her, trapping the dark haired woman against the wall. The icy blue eyes stared into her eyes, making it was bizarre that she couldn't look away and trapped in his gaze.
"Your eyes definitely said otherwise."

Heartless Heiress ✔️
Viscious, cruel, cold -- those are just some of the words used to describe Jade Von Kaiser, the sole heiress to the Von Kaiser fortune. Working alongside her father, she has proven to be the only one worthy of the title, and she doesn't care who she steps on to become the very best. The only person who can take her down a notch is Dylan Sharp, a handsome sociopath with a charming smile and a cocky attitude. When Dylan becomes Jade's personal servant, things spiral out of control quickly as power dynamics change, and Jade is left to question everything she's ever known. _________________________________ 'The elevator ride up was silent as Jade seethed quietly, a considerable distance from me. I sighed and snaked my arm around her waist, pulling her close with ease. I bowed my head and brushed my lips against her cheek. "Are you mad at me? I'll make it up to you," I cooed, kissing her neck gently. God, why did I love getting under her skin so damn much? I loved the cute way her eyebrows scrunched when she got mad or the way her freckles seemed to glow when she was embarrassed. "S-stop it," she said not-so-convincingly as she held her palms against my shoulders. I sucked softly on her neck right under her ear while trailing my fingers up her leg, releasing breathless gasps from her. Just as things were about to get good, the elevator dinged, and the doors began to open.'

ENG - Waffles and Betrayals - Simon "Ghost" Riley x OC (Call Of Duty)
You don't need to have played Call of Duty to read this story. ❀❀❀ Lenora has spent her whole life searching for a compass - a fixed point in the chaos of a life that's always been too complicated. For years, that North was Johnny MacTavish, her best friend, the boy she grew up with. But Johnny is also her greatest pain, a vortex of lies, obsession, and anger that left her alone while he lost himself. Lenora loves him with a silent, feral devotion, but that love is as fragile as a thread, ready to snap with the slightest breeze. When Johnny promises to finally talk about their future, Lenora meets him at a club. That's where she crosses paths with Simon Riley - a man scarred by an unspeakable past and numbed by a carefully controlled life. He's heard of Lenora before, but only through Johnny's twisted, bitter lens. He approaches her already convinced he'll hate her. But something about that girl knocks him off balance: unpredictable, tender, a liar, fragile - and it feels like she brings him back to life. Between Simon and Lenora, a bond forms. A secret neither of them is allowed to have. Two broken worlds, drawn to each other but terrified of what would happen if they collided - convinced there could never be a future between them. Yet the more they hide, the more the truth builds like a ticking bomb, a secret threatening to ruin them both. Simon has always believed he could control everything from behind a mask. But Lenora barges in without asking, rattles his walls, and forces him to see the truth: that he's not a dead man walking, but a shattered soul who doesn't have to keep hiding. And only she holds the key - the one shot he has at redemption. This is a sad story, built from fragile loves, obsessions, and wounds that never heal. Raw, melancholic, and painfully realistic - with flashes of sweetness, dark humor, and desperation. Because sometimes, to save yourself, you have to learn to lose yourself first.Complete
