Klaire was taught to be good.
Good girls endure. Good girls stay quiet.
But being good never saved her.
After swearing into the Army on her 18th birthday, she thought the worst was behind her.
But monsters don't live under the bed - they live in plain sight.
And sometimes, they sing like sirens.
This is Klaire's journey - through silence, through survival, and into the life she didn't know she deserved.
With the past nipping at her heels and the future still just out of reach, she has to choose:
fade back into silence...
or sing for her own life.
A coming-of-age story wrapped in heartbreak, survival, and the haunting melodies of what we mistake for love.

ALESSIA MY SWEETHEART
BASED ON TRUTHS GIRLS RARELY CONFESS, AND OBSESSIONS DARKER THAN FICTION DARES TO GO. THIS STORY WALKS THE RAZOR'S EDGE BETWEEN DEVOTION AND DESTRUCTION. He found her in the silence. The invisible hours. The version of her nobody else was looking at. She thought she'd finally been chosen. She didn't know she was one of two. Leo doesn't love with his hands. He loves with control: patient, precise, dressed in every word a lonely girl has ever ached to hear. He collects devotion the way other men collect nothing at all. And when Alessia's best friend becomes his next quiet obsession, the two women who trusted each other most start losing themselves to the same man, in the same silence, neither understanding why the other has changed, until the night Alessia finds them together, and everything she believed was hers turns out to have never belonged to her at all. OBSESSION? EVERY PAGE. CONTROL DISGUISED AS CARE? THE WHOLE BOOK. A FRIENDSHIP USED AS A WEAPON? THAT'S THE PART THAT WILL HAUNT YOU. This isn't a romance that heals. It's a hunger that claws under the skin, a devotion that feels intoxicating right up until it turns suffocating. It whispers in the dark: "You were mine before you ever understood what that meant." Dark romance collides with real psychological terror. What Leo does to Alessia and Giulia doesn't only exist in fiction. It's the kind of manipulation that hides behind ordinary phone screens and closed doors, right now, to someone you know. Read if you crave broken girls, dangerous men, possessive obsession, and control that wears the mask of love. But remember: every touch has a price. Every promise hides a trap. And once two women fall into the same man's world, there may not be a way out for either of them. NOT SOFT. NOT SWEET. NOT SAFE. THIS ISN'T A LOVE STORY. IT'S A WARNING, WEARING ONE.
Just Listen
COMPLETED●EDITING● Some wounds don't need words. They need a witness. What happens when a mother's greatest success is her refusal to feel? Kamilah Paisley Maeve, 18, has always relied on her father-the rock who helped her navigate high school while she quietly lived with the void of an absent mother. That mother, the famed mogul Uncanny Valley, didn't just walk away; she fled. Driven by the echoes of profound trauma and pain, she chose the ruthless path of survival: locking away her emotions. Her empire grew, but her family shattered. She succeeded by refusing to hear the cries of the world or even the cries within herself. Kamilah is devastated when she realizes her idol is her parent. Now, the conflict isn't just about speaking but about listening. Kamilah doesn't just need words; she needs her mother to JUST LISTEN-to the silence in her hurt, to the chaos of her hidden past, and most importantly, to the desperate cry for help that hides beneath Uncanny Valley's perfect, emotionless façade. The greatest challenge is not finding the words, but finding the courage to listen to the silence when nothing is said.

INFECTED LOVE || (𝟷𝟾+) NSFW || nyxclement
"In her, I found redemption and ruin, a paradox of salvation and damnation intertwined. Entranced by her lethal allure, I willingly embraced the darkness, offering my soul as tribute to her malevolent grace. Bound by chains of devotion, I surrendered to her will, consumed by a love that knew no bounds, even in the face of oblivion."- Cyrus Calixto "In the depths of my tormented soul, I grapples with the demons of my past, striving for redemption amidst the echoes of my sins. Yet, in the twisted dance of fate, I finds myself ensnared by forbidden love, a beacon of light in my desolate existence, even as I denies its consuming allure."- Aaliyah Lyra. . . "In the labyrinth of desire, I wield charm as a weapon, masking the ache of a heart tethered to a love I can never possess. Behind every smile lies the shadows of manipulation, veiling the torment of a soul entangled in the web of unattainable longing."-Zene Kylon. . "In my silent screams, I echoes the tragedy of a soul selling fragments of myself, chasing the illusion of affection from hollow eyes, while drowning in the relentless abyss of a love never truly mine."-Diana Maertisa. . . "In the shadows of manipulation, truth becomes a mere pawn in the game of power, where deception reigns as king and morality is but a forgotten whisper in the abyss of human ambition." . . "In the aftermath of love's tragic end, amidst the wreckage of shattered dreams, there lingers a bittersweet beauty. For even in the depths of despair, our hearts are intertwined with memories of cute freedoms and lovely moments shared. Though one may harbor resentment, and the other may bear the scars of hate, the essence of our love endures, a fragile yet enduring thread that binds us together, even beyond the final act of love's poignant tragedy." "Love?' "yes love. I am here." "release me Fucker." "God should not abandon those who worship faithfully love." "I am no GOD." "You are in my eyes love. Stop fooling yourself." || WARNING ||
Marked By Secrets
I thought I knew her. Alice. My friend. But now... I'm not so sure. There were cracks I never saw, whispers I chose to ignore. Her death wasn't just tragic-it was a question I can't stop asking: Why? Everyone has their stories-rumors wrapped in pity or blame-but none of them fit. The truth hides in shadows, in secrets I'm just beginning to uncover. I'm haunted not only by what happened, but by what I missed. By what I refused to see. And the deeper I look, the darker it gets. Because sometimes the person you thought you knew... Is the last one you should've
