She wasn't living. She was just... not dead yet.
Trapped between survival and surrender, she walks the edge of a world that never made space for her.
Every page bleeds questions-about life, about love, about a God who watches in silence.
This is not a happy story.
But maybe, just maybe-
it's an honest one.
A raw, emotional dive into the mind of a girl unraveling, and the quiet strength it takes to keep breathing.

Blood
Blood binds. Blood betrays. Blood remembers. She's living an ordinary life - lectures, late shifts, and trying to keep her head above water - until the night everything changes. A stranger in the glass. Whispers she can't explain. Dreams dripping in crimson. Drawn into a shadowed world where nothing is as it seems, she's pulled from routine into a maze of haunted whispers, forbidden attraction, and ancient rituals she doesn't understand. Each step uncovers more of a legacy she never knew she carried - a bloodline tied to power, darkness, and a dangerous bargain she never agreed to. Now, as her hunger grows and her heart tangles with the very creature who may destroy her, she'll face the ultimate question: fight the darkness that claims her... or surrender to the blood calling her home. Happy reading.....🥰🥰🥰Complete

Still, She Hoped
She's a girl with a hopelessly romantic heart-someone who's always believed in soulmates, late-night talks, and love that feels like home. But reality hasn't been kind. Time after time, she's been cheated on, left to pick up the pieces of promises broken and dreams torn apart. Still, she holds onto hope, even when it hurts. Then, just when she's about to give up on love entirely, someone new enters her life. Unexpected. Gentle. Different. For the first time in a long while, she dares to believe again. She lets herself fall. And just when her heart begins to feel safe, he breaks it too-leaving her more lost than ever. She's a hopeless romantic-someone who's always dreamed of deep, lasting love, the kind that feels like fate and fills every quiet space in her heart. But life hasn't followed the script she imagined. She's been cheated on more times than she can count, each betrayal carving a deeper wound, each lie dimming the light inside her. Still, she keeps hoping. Her mind is a storm-racing thoughts, endless questions, memories she can't escape. Why wasn't she enough? Will anyone ever stay? She tries to make sense of the chaos, holding onto that small, fragile thread of belief that love is still out there. Then someone new arrives-unexpected and warm, just different enough to make her believe that maybe, just maybe, things will be different this time. She opens her heart again. She lets herself feel. But the pattern repeats. He leaves. And the pain hits harder, because this time she truly thought it would last. Now, with too much on her mind and a heart full of silent screams, she stands at the edge of hope and heartbreak, still wishing-against all odds-that real love will find her. "She believed in love, even after being broken again and again. With a mind full of storms and a heart full of cracks, she still hoped someone would choose to stay."

"If pain lives in memory, then maybe mercy lies in forgetting." They told her to move on. That the past doesn't matter. That's what's gone is gone.

And a truth powerful enough to burn everything down.

Still wants him. If you've ever been lost in the middle of love and doubt, this story is for you. Even If It Wasn't Love is a story about holding on to the very thing that's tearing you apart - and wondering if maybe, just maybe... it was love all along.Complete
It's in your eyes
Alex has spent years chasing lust but never finding release. Every touch is empty. Every man, just another distraction from the scars buried beneath her skin. Then V returns-sinfully handsome, exuding dominance, and with a mouth that promises ruin. He doesn't ask. He takes. And for the first time, Alex doesn't want to run. With him, desire is a storm-blinding, relentless, raw. Each orgasm strips away her defenses. Each demand makes her crave more. He's the only man who's ever made her feel alive... and the one who could destroy her completely. Because the man who teaches you how to live will also be the one to own you-heart, body, and soul. ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This story contains themes of child abuse, sexual assault, grooming, domestic violence, and suicidal thoughts. Reader discretion advised.
Loved a dying mind
There are people who fill the room the moment they walk in. And then there are people who disappear even while they're sitting right in front of you. She was the latter. Wrapped in shadows, untouched by the noise of the world, she carried silence like it was stitched into her skin. Her eyes didn't blink, her voice was barely more than a whisper but every word clung like smoke, impossible to forget. I shouldn't have noticed her. I shouldn't have cared. But the moment I did, it was already too late. What begins as curiosity spirals into something heavier, a haunting intimacy that feels less like love and more like falling into a mirror you're afraid to shatter. A story not about romance or rescue, but about the weight of existence, and the echo of souls that never quite fit into the world around them. Loved a Dying Mind is a tale of fragile connections, of questions without answers, and of the kind of bond that burns itself into you long after the silence has swallowed everything else.Complete

OBSESSION. too personal
This could have been a gentle story for quiet autumn evenings. But it shattered against Morphine - a chapter that will not let you stay indifferent. And now, you'll understand why. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about healing through pain, about love that blooms after trauma, and about the fragile line between salvation and obsession. She is a woman rebuilding herself from the ashes. Not strong - simply real. A mother. A fighter. A writer whose words cut deeper than truth itself. She doesn't want to be someone's muse - she only wants to be understood. He is the man the world worships... and fears. A legend. A symbol of an era. But behind the fame, there's a man haunted by his own darkness. Together, they are fire and gasoline - two broken souls learning how to love without losing themselves. Their story isn't a fairytale. It's an age-gap dark romance about redemption, grief, and the courage to love again. With touch. With words. With silence between the lines.Complete
