"I wanted him first. But that never mattered."

Dr. Ashley Calder knows how this looks. The girl who spent years pining after Chase Aldridge finally got her wish-his last name. His ring. His name stitched onto her scrubs like some cruel cosmic joke. But she didn't win. She lost.

Because Chase doesn't love her.

He loves her. Vivienne Lawson. The woman he was supposed to marry before Ashley ruined everything. And now, every time Chase looks at her, she can see it-the regret. The fury. The slow, simmering hate that tastes too much like something else.

But here's the thing about Ashley: She doesn't beg. She doesn't plead. And she sure as hell doesn't need his love. She agreed to this marriage because she had to-because her mother made sure of it. But that doesn't mean she's happy about it. And if Chase thinks he's the only one suffering? If he thinks she doesn't feel the weight of his resentment every second of every day? He's a fool.

He asked her to call it off. She didn't. Now, he won't give her a divorce. Fine. Let him keep her.

Let him drown in the thing he swore he never wanted.

Because love is just another kind of war. And if Ashley Calder has to go down, she'll make damn sure Chase Aldridge goes down with her.

🔥 A slow-burn, sharp-edged medical romance where hate cuts deep, love scars, and some wounds refuse to heal. 💉Seluruh Hak Cipta Dilindungi Undang-Undang

This is a work of fiction, inspired by real emotions and experiences, but it does not intend to glorify or promote harmful behaviors. If you or someone you know is struggling, please seek support from a trusted friend, professional, or helpline. You are not alone. Some wounds don't bleed. They fester in silence. Sofia has spent her whole life being told what love is-through whispered apologies, bruised promises, and the kind of pain that lingers long after the bruises fade. She's learned to survive in a home that never felt like one, to smile through the weight of secrets no child should carry. Then there's Zayn. He's everything she should stay away from-reckless, untouchable, dangerous in ways she can't name. But when he looks at her, she feels seen in a way she never has before. In his arms, the world quiets, the chaos stills... until reality reminds her that happiness was never hers to keep. Because love is supposed to hurt. Right? And when the past refuses to stay buried, Sofia is forced to choose: the life she's always known or the one that might destroy her. Some truths are too heavy to speak. Some love stories are never meant to last.

Over Rain's Edge oleh anemowhisper

Hello dear reader! First, thank you for deciding to click on this ongoing novel. It already means so much! It is my first and I will try to write as much as I can despite the fact that I have a day job. Please do let me know if you have any feedback or thoughts about the story so far. Thank you and I hope you join me on this journey. --- In a digital realm where fantasy and reality intertwine, two souls meet in an online game that transcends distance and convention. Aurora, a successful London lawyer who appears to have the world at her feet, hides her inner turmoil, while Andrei, a globe-trotting financial adviser longing for a true home, finds solace in their virtual connection. What starts as playful camaraderie soon deepens into a poignant romance, with shared quests and whispered secrets composing a bittersweet symphony of desire and vulnerability. Yet, the intimacy nurtured online cannot fully capture the tangible moments of life-the gentle patter of rain on city streets, the comforting sound of a familiar voice, the fleeting magic of a sunrise experienced firsthand. One of them harbours a quiet envy, not of a rival, but of the experiences that remain just out of reach, a silent ache for the parts of life they miss sharing together. As their conversations evolve into a delicate dance of honesty and vulnerability, they confront the challenge of balancing the roles of protector and free spirit in each other's lives. "Over Rain's Edge" becomes a metaphor for the threshold where digital dreams merge with the stark reality of human longing-a modern love story that rejects clichéd tropes in favor of an unvarnished exploration of desire, hope, and heartbreak. In this narrative, romance is portrayed not as a flawless ideal but as a tender, fragile connection that I hope would leave an indelible mark long after you finished the story.

$Rejected Love {COMPLETED} oleh Alice_Blonday$

My mate. So weak. So pathetic. I have a weak and pathetic mate. I thought as I looked at her in disgust and displeasure. Just like me when I was human. She is human! I don't want a mate. I don't want a weak and pathetic mate! She can't fix me! She's nothing! Screw this! My thoughts were going berserk with the rushing flashes of my past. I tucked my hand through my hair roughly in an unsuccessful attempt to stop the replay of those horrible evocations. I laid her on the small grass patch at the side of the deserted road. She was half-conscious, so possibly she could hear me... "Hey!" I said, jerking her pale face gently. Blood was covering half of her face but she was still looking beautiful in the moonlight. The sparks weren't going unnoticed and I reminded myself that it was just the mate-bond. I was determined in my decision and there was no way I was going to change it. The girl opened her eyes slightly and with that, I did what I thought was right at that time. "I, Kane Wilson, reject you as my mate!" I said, with all the strength I could have mustered in my miserable state of emotions and with that, I left her there, feeling extreme pain in my heart. But I pushed that pain aside and ran from there in my ultimate inhuman speed. Away from her! Still feeling the Rejection Pain. *~*~*~*~*~*~* He rejected her when she didn't even know what he meant for her. And after nine years, when he met her again, he found himself craving for her, seeking her attention, her love. He had fallen for her... with no return. But would she accept him now?! Student life#1 (2/09/2018) Crave#1 (3/2/2019) Started on: August 5, 2018 Finished on: September 20, 2018 !!!

Lucian oleh SmutH03

"If you'd let me- I'd fuck the fuck out of you." He backs me into the hard wall and I gasp as the cold, white concrete wall touches my naked back. "L-Lucian, we can't. I-I'm marrie-" He cuts me off with his mouth crashing into mine. My eyes grow wide for a short second before closing them to the pleasure of his soft lips. He's been craving this as much as me. *** Madelyn Sterling is in a happy marriage with her husband Nickolas Sterling. Their two-years-anniversary coming up soon. They want a kid.
