I can't stand him.
Hayden Schlider is everything I despise-cold, calculated, and dangerously loyal to an ideology I've spent my life resisting. He follows orders without question, keeps people at arm's length, and looks at me like I'm an irritation he has to tolerate.
The feeling is mutual.
And I've never been one to stay quiet when someone underestimates me.
We clash at every opportunity. He calls me reckless. I call him heartless. He tells me I don't understand the world we live in. I tell him he's too much of a coward to change it.
We were never meant to understand each other.
But then I saw him break. Just for a moment. A flicker of something behind those cold, sharp eyes. And I hated it.
Because I wasn't supposed to see him like that. I wasn't supposed to wonder what else was hiding beneath that perfect mask.
I wasn't supposed to care.
But now I can't stop looking at him. Can't stop hearing the way his voice softens when he forgets to be cruel.
I should walk away. Let him rot in the mess he chose for himself.
But I don't.
And no matter how much I want to hate him, I can't ignore the truth.
Neither of us wanted this.
But somehow, we found something in each other.
And I don't know if that makes us enemies or something much, much worse.

Allison's Desire
Why don't you get it? I can never be good for you! I am worthless" I said trying to hold in my tears. There was no way he was going to see me cry. "They are beautiful to me. I don't see a single reason why you should hate them" he said moving his wheel chair closer to where I stood. "This" he said bringing my hand where I had some faint scars and kissing them. "Would always be a story to me of how you survived." He looked at me. There were no lies in them, just his pure truth. "I love you Aren" he said. For the first time since anyone said that to me, I believed it.Lengkap
War of Praisers
Nothing left my mouth as I stared at him in shock. He truly believed that I was part of this. The man, who I had lived with and served for months. The man who I had protected with my life and soul. I stood still while, as he backed away from me quickly. "I trusted you with my life." His cry pierced around the empty room. He looked so destroyed and hurt, but mostly his face portrayed rage and determation. "And I protected you with mine." I spoke back loudly. I didn't hear myself say it but I knew I did. I look into his eyes even from our distance they seemed to wallow me in darkness. "I gave you mine." My voice was quiet and cracked. His face changed only for a second before his old one took over again. He doesn't believe me. It doesn't matter what I say or do he won't listen. He will still believe I am the bad guy. Just as Kane said, we will never be equals, we will never be fellow humans. We will always be monsters to them. "Yakov, I am not the bad guy." I plead one last time. His Russian accent comes out harsh with his next words. "Your right," he pauses, "you are the villain." I stumble back as if I had just been stabbed in the chest. It was a horrible feeling. It was never good with the emotions and yet I recognize the feeling as heart beak. I barely breathe in air as I regain my posture. A battle cry from somewhere distracts me momentarily. I suddenly remember Ewan. I glare at Yakov one more time before I take off after the cries of battle. Jade believes she started the war among the human and her kind. Nothing is as it was portrayed. The lies and the truth are hidden among each other. There is is no clear good and evil. How can there be if one does not know what is right and what is wrong. She was prepared to see death, prepared to inflict death upon others without mercy or remose. She was prepared to do her job which the Facility had given her. But now it doesn't seem so simple anymore. Instead she focuses on keeping her friends alive.Lengkap
Burn | | Anakin Fan Fiction
"Open your eyes sweet girl, look at me." That voice, that feeling, those eyes. I could never forget those golden, hypnotic eyes. Before my life took a drastic turn, when I looked in the mirror, all I saw was a devoted Jedi learner. Devoted to the Jedi Code, loyal to my master and utterly aware of the living Force around me. But, after the dark figure unexpectedly overtakes my very mind and soul, he brings everything into question. Maybe everything I know is a lie. All I know now is that his obsession makes sense for some dark reason and I'm ready to burn the galaxy down for him.
Right Person At The Wrong Time
Conrad loves Brenda more than anything, but knowing his time is short and his body is failing, he decides to push her away-not out of cruelty, but out of desperation to spare her. He deliberately acts cold, distant, or even cruel, trying to make her hate him so she won't grieve him when he's gone. He believes that if she despises him, she'll move on faster, finding happiness without the burden of loving a dying man. **** Love isn't just about finding the perfect person; sometimes, it's about finding the right person at the worst possible moment. Life has a cruel sense of irony, bringing two souls together when circumstances just won't align-when one is ready to love and the other is not, or when timing itself becomes the enemy. They enter your life with everything you've ever wanted-understanding, chemistry, an unspoken connection-but it feels as if the universe is conspiring against you. Yet, even amid the heartache, there is a strange beauty in having known them. They leave an imprint on your heart, a quiet reminder that love was real, even if it wasn't meant to last. Sometimes, that's enough-to have experienced love with the right person, even at the wrong time.Lengkap
Two Hearts Entwined
I've hated Zackary Woods since the day I met him. He walked into my parents' kitchen like he owned it-laughing with my brother Hayden, throwing that perfect smile around like it was currency. And everyone ate it up. Everyone except me. From day one, it was war. Zack gets under my skin like no one else can. He's arrogant, annoyingly attractive, and so full of himself it's a miracle he doesn't float off campus. We've competed over everything-from who could run faster at a family barbecue to who got the higher score on Econ 101's midterm. He's the all-star quarterback, the walking cliché of a college heartthrob, and I'm the girl who sees right through him. Or at least, I thought I did. Then came that stupid group project. Just one semester, I told myself. Just tolerate him long enough to get through it. But tension and hatred have a funny way of blurring lines when you're alone in a room with him after midnight and he's looking at you like you're not just Hayden's little sister anymore. One mistake. That's all it was supposed to be. But now we've got this... thing. A truce. A secret. Friends with benefits, we said. No feelings. No strings. Keep it clean and casual. But nothing about Zack Woods has ever been clean or casual-not with me. And the worst part? I don't know when I stopped hating him. I just know I don't want to stop.Lengkap
Love Misunderstood
I only ever met one man I'd call truly noble. He was a man who was misunderstood and worthy of the world, yet everyone saw him differently. That was until I saw his true colours. The more I caught his eye the more he noticed me. We would pass each other, I would always stare a little longer at his back, wondering his story. People used to move out of the hallways if they saw him approaching whereas people would come and talk to me. He kept to himself, I was never alone, he had no friends, I was friends with everyone, I never saw him talk to anyone I spoke to many. we were polar opposites. At least that's what I thought until that day in the library, that is where I will start this story. Everyone is different, I hate the word "different", I much prefer the word unique. Unique is the only way to describe him. This is not just a story about love, it is about helping two souls who act differently but are the same on the inside, it shows the messy parts that aren't shown in movies, the tragedy, and the comedy but most of all the sizzling romance between two broken people who became one. Who is this story about? Caden James. But this is not just his story, It is ours.Lengkap![𝐔𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞 [𝟏𝟖+]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/366735281-256-k845863.jpg)

"𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫." [Slow update] They say love feels like sunlight after winter. But no one warns you - sometimes, it burns. Sometimes, it scars. I never asked for obsession, for manipulation, or for love that feels like poison. He came like wildfire - raw, relentless, unapologetic. My first. My beautiful mistake. He was dangerous in the most beautiful way. Gentle with me, brutal with the world. Every moment with him was comfort laced with chaos. His love? Honey laced with venom - sweet, addicting, and lethal. He didn't cross lines. He erased them. In his madness, I mistook devotion. In cruelty, I saw protection. How do you run from someone who'd bleed to keep you breathing? He saw the cracks no one else noticed. Whispered promises in the dark. And a part of me clung to them. In his arms, the world ceased to exist. But the next storm didn't come with fire. It came in silence. He arrived like a shadow - watching, waiting, suffocating. He didn't touch me - not yet. But I felt him, like smoke in my lungs. He studied me. Then he moved. And when he did, everything changed. He didn't want to love me. He wanted to rewrite me. His silence screamed louder than words. He wanted me to destroy myself for him. Now, I'm torn between two kinds of insanity: One who would ruin the world to protect me. Another who would ruin me to make me his world. And I can't tell the difference anymore. They circle me like wolves, each calling it love. But love was never meant to feel like this. Was it? I used to believe love was a gift. Now I know - it's a gamble. A bloody one. And in this game of obsession and betrayal, I'm no longer sure who the real villain is. Because when both players would kill you for love... What does that make you?
Chances Of Truth ☑️
"It's too much to remember everything and everyone, all pain and hurt is killing me day by day little by little. I wish I could remove all the pain and move on in my life. I wish I could find an eraser or Better a delete button, so that I could start from beginning, without any misery or pain." ......................................................................................... "Hey Eva, you know you can trust me, right? " He asked me again cupping my cheeks, I can't let him continue this. It had to stop now or it would be too late. I can't risk everyone's life specially his. If hurting him means, him being alive then I would do it without thinking. Again and again. "Eva are you even listening to me?" Noah asked moving his face closer. From this close I can even see the scar which he told me about, its just below the border line of his hair, it can be easily conceal but from this close its more real. His eyes, they are magical. I would love to look at them all the time and never get tired of looking at in them. No, I cannot do this to him, I can't be selfish, I have to do something this time. "No" I answer and walked away from him. .............................................................Lengkap
