She left flowers at every grave. But they were all hers.

In the quiet town of Elmsmoor, where secrets drift like fog and grief clings to the walls, a girl in white moves among the mourners.

No one knows her name.
No one remembers when she arrived.
Yet her presence is always the same-soft footsteps, gloved hands, and a single petal placed gently on the newest grave.

Some say she's a ghost.
Others, a blessing.
But the dead are growing in number. And the petals never seem to wilt.

When a stranger arrives, drawn to the sorrow that hangs in the air, he begins to wonder:

Is she the one grieving the dead?
Or is she the reason they're gone?

One thing is certain-
In Elmsmoor, love blooms in silence.
And not all flowers are left in mourning.

34 parts Complete Mature
She wakes up in a stranger's bed, a diamond ring glimmering on her finger - a symbol of promises she cannot remember - a vow forged in a past that's been stolen from her. Everyone says she's fortunate. That she's blessed. That a beautiful home, a devoted fiancé, and a spotless future await her. But when her pulse falters under his gentle touch... when her skin shivers instead of warming - something deep within resonates with the alarming feeling that something is profoundly, dangerously wrong. He insists it's for her own safety - that something awful happened, that healing simply takes time - but there's a fire in his eyes, a possessiveness he cannot mask. And somewhere in her mind, a locked box rattles against its chains. And at night, in the quiet... she dreams of another man she does not recognize. Until one day he steps out of the shadows. Not with flowers, but with fire, with danger, with a confession forged in the pure agony of a love forgotten. Not with comfort, but with a storm in his eyes and a voice that trembles when he says- "You promised to remember me," he whispers. "Even if the whole world made you forget." He is not kind. He is not patient. His love is wild - a consuming force - a sin that feels more elemental than redemption. The moment he reaches for her, the carefully woven lie starts to unravel, thread by thread, until the awful, beautiful truth emerges. She doesn't know his name. But her soul does. Now, stranded between two men - the man who offers refuge within a perfect illusion and the man who holds the key to a catastrophic reality - she must make a choice. To stay safely oblivious... or to break free and remember the life that was stolen from her. Because someone made sure she forgot. And they'll do whatever it takes to keep it that way. Some truths are dangerous - and some memories are worth everything.

Aurora Kensington has spent years trying to silence the voice in her head-the one that sounds too much like Briar Holloway. The girl who was once her best friend. The girl who came out to her. The girl she pushed away. Now eighteen, Aurora is desperate to prove she's everything she's supposed to be: a good daughter, a devoted Catholic, normal. But no matter how hard she prays, no matter how many rules she follows, she can't shake the feeling that something inside her is broken. And when she sees the lights on in the Holloway house for the first time in years, something deep in her chest stirs. She doesn't know Briar is back. Not until she turns around at a party and finds her standing there. Briar never planned to return to Chapelwood, but with her family drowning in debt and her grandmother's health failing, she had no choice. She tells herself she doesn't care about Aurora anymore-that she only came to this party because she thought it'd be funny. But the second their eyes meet, the past slams into her like a tremor. Old wounds. Old feelings. Ones that never truly faded. Because "love" (if you can call it that) like theirs doesn't disappear. It fractures. It festers. It trembles under the weight of everything unsaid. And if they're not careful, it might just swallow them whole. But none of it truly matters anyway. Not unless Aurora is willing to face the truth about herself. A story about love, sin, and the thin line between devotion and obsession.

FIRES AT THE EDGE

50 parts Complete Mature

"Some fires don't destroy you. They reveal you." Jessica, works at a blood center where every day feels the same-until Nick walks in. He's younger, quiet, and carries a darkness that feels both dangerous and magnetic. What begins as curiosity turns into obsession, and what feels like safety slowly twists into something else entirely. Nick sees her in ways no one else does. Her patterns. Her fears. The way she hides her loneliness behind politeness. His mind is chaos-psychopathy, BPD, OCD-but Jessica becomes his anchor, the one person who makes the noise stop. As their connection deepens, obsession burns slow but steady. Boundaries blur. Control shifts. Every glance becomes a confession, every silence a war. And when the line between love and madness disappears, Jessica must face the truth: some connections are fated to consume.
