They say time heals everything, but no one ever tells you what to do while you wait for the healing to begin.
I used to think pain was loud, like shouting matches, slammed doors, or sobs that echoed through empty hallways. But I've come to realize that pain is sometimes quiet. It's the silence between heartbeats when you see the one person you love walk away. It's the weight of words unspoken, of truth buried beneath guilt and fear.
 My name is Sarah, and this is not a story about perfection. It's not about heroes or villains. It's about a girl caught in the crossfire of family chaos, broken friendships, and a love that wasn't supposed to happen. A love that ruined everything, or maybe, just maybe, revealed everything that was already falling apart.
 There was a time I laughed without restraint, held hands with people I trusted, and believed that family meant safety. But now? Now I tread carefully, watch my words, and pretend to be okay, for Joshua, my little brother, and for the girl I used to be.
This story begins in the ruins of trust and ends... well, I don't know yet.
But if you're willing to walk through the mess with me

Melancholy by ruani_writes

She hated them. They loved her with everything in them. The universe truly has a sick way of telling you it's there, doesn't it? From being kidnapped to being abused, that was all Arabella saw in life. It was all she ever knew. They tell you to keep fighting but sometimes you realize... you were just a child. Now she's built herself up using her pain as the next step to her strength. She's learnt how to strive forward even as her past haunts her mind crawling up her back every passing second. That is until the first 7 people who only ever brought her pain find their way back into her life. She has no way to let go of her past when they come right back to her. The world showed her no mercy in it's ways so why should she. ~~~ I let out a small sigh wanting more of this. I wanted to be held like this whenever I felt broken. Feel the way he puts me back together in his arms. It ate at my heart and I could have sworn I felt a feathery kiss on my head. It was as if he could hear my thoughts and was kissing them away for me. Slowly he lets one hand go, the other staying around me as he brings my chin up to him gently wiping my last tears as more fill my eyes. He sees this and his eyes look... crumbled. If you feel this way then why can't you choose me, Dominic. I shake my head from his hands wishing to step back but he pulls me back to him a pain filled groan leaving him. "Just one more minute. Please." His body shook and I brought him closer, feeling our pain become one. Our hurricanes of minds pull away even for the smallest time letting us stand together as one in each other's embrace. He was it for me. But I wasn't his.

Diana: Rebirth of a Lilie by lilies206

They said she died peacefully. That's what they always say, don't they? When someone slips away in a hospital bed - when the machines stop beeping, and the room goes quiet except for the sigh of grief no one dares to release. Peaceful. Like death is ever kind. I was five. Too young to understand why my mother wasn't waking up. Too small to make sense of the nurses whispering in the hallway or the way they looked at me, like I was already a problem they didn't know how to solve. Her name was Rebecca. She was twenty-five. And her blood betrayed her. They said it was cancer. Aggressive. Silent. A thief in the bloodstream. By the time they caught it, it had already taken everything. I was all she had. And when she left, I had no one. No father. No family. Just a name I couldn't pronounce, and a world I didn't belong to. The system chewed me up und spat me out. Foster homes. Group homes. Back and forth like a package No one ordered. Smiles that didn't last. Promises that broke before they were even spoken. Every time someone tried to "fix" me, I'd break first, make sure they knew I was no one's charity case. No one's second chance. Eventually they stopped trying. I got older. Quieter. I stopped waiting to be rescued and started fighting instead. Literally. Underground rings don't ask for backstories. Just fists. Blood. And that, at least, I could give them. Then one night, seventeen years into this messy life, someone knocked on my door. A stranger. Two of them, actually. His name was marcello Mariano a man claiming to be my father, a man I'd only ever heard of in headlines. CEO. Businessman. Untouchable. I knew his face from magazines. I knew his name from rumors. But I didn't know why he'd come for me. Or what kind of danger was following him. All I knew was that everything I thought I knew about my life... Was a lie. And now the weight I never asked for is trying to pull me under. But I won't drown. Not again.

And Still, I loved you. by ruins_and_roses

They were never supposed to meet again, but fate had other plans. They were never strangers. They just became people who knew everything about each other, Except how to fix what they broke. She loved him like it was the only thing keeping her from falling apart. He left like he couldn't feel it. Years passed. Cities changed. Names got softer on unfamiliar lips. But silence never erased the way they ended. And when fate threw them back into the same room, One bleeding, Other one breaking, The past didn't knock. It kicked the door down. This is not a story of falling in love. It's what happens after.

Sin Of Mafia by Ankitaroywrites

She was ordered to end his life, but his touch made her want to give him every piece of hers. He was a name on my father's kill list. Nothing more. Nothing personal. Until I saw him. Until I tasted the way danger lingers on a man's lips. I was raised in the shadows, a daughter of the mafia king, built from blood and lies. Love was never part of my story. But protecting him became my secret sin. I hid in the dark to save him, even when my hands were stained with everything he should fear. And when he finally touched me, it was like setting fire to every rule I'd ever known. We loved in whispers. We kissed like war. Every moment with him felt stolen, because it was. In our world, nothing beautiful survives. And when the truth comes for us, one of us will have to choose. Pull the trigger... or take the bullet. This isn't a love story. It's a funeral with a heartbeat.

Stranger To Se croire by tamannatanha07

They say love heals. But what if love is the reason you bleed? This story isn't about fairytales - it's about scars, blood, and the kind of love that ruins and saves at the same time. A world where every heartbeat hides a secret, every smile covers a lie, and every tear could be the start of another war. Here, power wears a mask of beauty. The innocent fall for the dangerous. And monsters are born from broken hearts. Detectives chase shadows. Mafias play gods. Guns whisper the truth that love refuses to hear. They once had love. They once had family. They once had everything. Now, they only have darkness - and the question that burns through it: Who will win - power or love? When blood becomes the language of loyalty, and trust turns into a weapon... will love be enough to heal the monsters they've created, or will the monsters finally destroy what's left of love? Welcome to a world where mystery breathes, love burns, and death watches. 💋 Once you enter, you don't come back the same.

Enchanted by ruani_writes

She was lost and so was he. Who knew that two broken hearts can connect to one. Arabella's world has been rigged since the day she was born. Her fate had been decided for her much longer before she even had been conceived in the womb. So it came as no surprise when she found herself back at the beginning. As if the pain she has previously experienced wasn't enough, she now needs to relearn how to balance her life. She can't help but pray to the universe for a break. She was exhausted from fighting for all she had and watching her life fall apart just as quickly as it had come back together. Dominic's life was something he would forever be grateful for since he knew that he never had it as rough as others. But there were always going to be times that he wanted to give up. With the responsibility of leading an entire mafia and his own past commitment issues, he believes the barrier to letting go is far greater than what others tell him. And when new desires emerge, he notes how his heart skips a beat whenever he sees her. His instinct kicks in, and he raises his barriers twice as high as she lowers hers to make place for him. All I was guilty of, was showing them mercy when no one else would. ~~~ "I saw you, Dominic. I wish you saw me." "I see you." I freeze at his words, my back facing him. "I can only see you. Everything I look at, everything I touch, everything I smell always leads back to you. I spent most of my life thinking that my heart was my biggest weakness. I always imagined that it would be my downfall. I had a loving family and that was enough for me. Getting a girlfriend, getting married, having a family, none of that mattered to me. Before you." He pauses, taking a breath and my eyes water. "I kept any other part of my heart guarded and almost locked. It was as if I didn't have one at all. Even now, its still fucked up. The lock I've kept is warned out though the only person who has its key is you. It's yours."

Her Side Of Silence by Bebo1176

. On the day her twin sister "died," or that what she thought everything she knew shattered. She remembered the scream, the fall, the blood-and then the world changed. In the chaos, no one asked her what really happened. They didn't care to hear her version. Her parents, once the warmth in her world, turned cold overnight. The brothers who loved her most began to look at her like a monster. Whispers filled the house. Accusations behind closed doors. She was blamed, judged, and punished-not by strangers, but by her own blood. And then, without warning, they sent her away. A boarding school in another country, they said, as if it were for her own good. But it wasn't a school-it was a cage dressed in discipline. Far from home, far from love, she entered a place no child should ever be. Hidden behind iron gates and smiling lies, that school was a breeding ground for cruelty. Every corner held secrets. Every night was a nightmare. And no one ever came looking for her. Not a single letter. Not a single call. They forgot her- Years passed. . And then came the call. Her family wanted her to return. As if they still had the right to call her back. But the girl who left never came back-not really. What returns now is someone colder, quieter, sharper. She tells herself she feels nothing for them. That she's learned to live without love. That hatred is easier than hope. But buried beneath the years and pain, there is still a small voice inside her-a child's voice-aching to be believed, to be seen, to be forgiven for a crime she never committed. Will her family finally face what they've done? And when the truth comes out-will it set her free, or break her all over again?

The Twisted Truth (Editing) by Daniella_Ruyi

Nothing in her life ever made sense. Why her father hated her, why he tortured her mother, why she was forced to kill her only sibling, and after running away and trying to get revenge on her father, it still didn't add up until she met him. Being a capobastone and the only one who could change everything, he was also the enemy and everything she swore she would never get involved with. Note: I write in first person and third person point of view. Completed✔

Bound by lies by ameliadobbs73

ROCCO I don't have time for Russians. Or love. All I care about is revenge-cold, calculated, and personal. I've built my empire on blood, silence, and fear. My enemies know not to cross me. And then she shows up. Rosabelle. Too pretty for her own good. Too naive to be in my world. Too soft for a man like me.. And now she's mine-whether she knows it or not. I told myself I didn't have time for love. But love isn't what this is. This is obsession. This is possession. This is her signing a deal with the devil-and that devil is me. ROSABELLE I love hacking. The thrill. The control.. But my father? He hates it. He wants me quiet and far away from trouble. Then Rocco walks in-cold, dangerous, and terrifyingly gorgeous. The future Don of the Italian mafia. And he offers me a job. Hack for him. Work for the mafia. Leave everything behind-my family, my name, my life. I should've said no. I should've run. But something in his eyes makes me stay. Now I'm tangled in a world of violence, secrets, and temptation. And the most dangerous part isn't the job... It's him. VALENTINA Being the middle child sucks. Forgotten. Overlooked. Never enough. I don't get choices. Not when my life has been one long punishment. Not when I'm the reason my parents are dead. And no one knows the truth-except me. Now, I'm being dragged into a marriage I never wanted, To the last person I'd ever choose. It's political. Strategic. I'm just a pawn in someone else's game. But I'm done being quiet. I've spent my whole life carrying guilt. Now I carry a knife in my boot and secrets in my smile. Because if I have to marry a monster- Then I'll become one too. JAX I should've stopped it. Should've said no. But I didn't. Because the truth is-I never say no to power. And this deal? It's everything I've ever wanted. Power. Money. Legacy. And a pretty girl wrapped in silk and secrets.. And once she's mine, I'm not letting her go. Not even if I have to burn the world to keep her

Ultimately Fucked by abcd1z2

A girl dragged through hell came out the other side a woman who made best friends with the devil. She doesn't let anyone walk over the top of her and is willing to go to any length to come out on top even if she gets hurt. She's already been through everything, so what's the point in not getting hurt? You can't have fun without a little bit of pain. Some say even the devil is scared of her. A family whose mother/wife left taking away their only princess wanting nothing but to forget what happened and to move on. With their dad dead, mother and sister gone some have missed placed their anger, but where? A 17 year old with multiple identities who only listens to herself, walls built as high and strong as possible even an army and tank couldn't plow them down, somehow ends up in the custody of an older brother she never knew she had. Will it end in disaster? Will they learn to trust? Old friendships are put on the test, will they live in peace or will this be the straw that breaks the camels back? I have tried to make it as different as possible from all the ones on here. Trigger warning for absolutely everything, you have been warned, my brain is a very fucked up place. There will be no trigger warning throughout the story. Also I am extremely dslyexic and this is my first story (I'm 14) please be nice. Actually fuck that if you don't like it greatly and kindly fuck off.
