He was too old, too famous, and too dangerous.
I was just a girl from Montreal-eighteen, soft-spoken, and still learning how to breathe in a city that moves too fast.
I didn't know his name that night.
I didn't know he looked at people like storms-quietly, intensely, like he was waiting for them to break something.
But he looked at me.
Abel Tesfaye was everything I'd been warned about: distant, untouchable, damaged in all the beautiful ways that hurt.
And me?
I was Valerie.
The name he used to whisper in songs.
The one he said he'd never say again.
He told me to leave.
He told me I didn't belong in his world.
But some storms don't make noise-
Until they hit.

Obsession Unveiled
Damien, an average and unassuming student, walked the halls of his school like a ghost-present, but invisible. He wasn't the top of the class, nor the bottom. He didn't draw attention, and he liked it that way. Blending in gave him space. Space to watch. Space to observe. Because while the world barely noticed Damien, he noticed her. Annette. She was the only ripple in the still water of his quiet life. There was something about her-something undeniable. She was elegance wrapped in confidence, untouchable but painfully real. And to Damien, she was more than a girl. She was an obsession. A purpose. Around others, Damien maintained the perfect illusion. Calm. Collected. Just another face in the crowd. But when it came to Annette, that illusion cracked. His quiet demeanor masked something darker-something sharp. Possessive. Dominant. It wasn't just that he liked her. It wasn't even that he wanted her. He needed her. As if the universe had carved her from the very core of what he lacked. He watched her like a predator stalks prey-not out of malice, but with a deep, feral instinct to claim. He noticed everything. The rhythm of her footsteps. The tilt of her head when she was lost in thought. Every person she talked to, smiled at, laughed with. And deep inside, something twisted every time she gave her attention to anyone who wasn't him. No one suspected. How could they? Damien was forgettable by design. But behind that forgettable smile was a mind carefully weaving a future where Annette belonged to him-wholly, unquestioningly. In his thoughts, there was no version of her life that didn't revolve around him. Every passing day without her acknowledgment was a glitch in the reality he was building. He didn't just want to be close to her. He wanted to own her heart. Her mind. Her choices. Not in a way she would resist-but in a way she'd learn to love. He'd make sure of it. After all, love was just another form of control when done right.Complete

His, Forever ✔️
"You're sorry?" he repeated, his deep and raspy voice reaching my ears from across the room. I nodded. His dark eyes the same shade as the night looked me up and down.

Ocean Orbs
He was the silent prince of her chaos. She was the unexpected melody in his mute life. She fell for the eyes he desperately hid. He loved the girl who didn't know his identity.To her, they were the calm ocean amidst the chaos. To him, they were a painful mistake. A tragic marriage history of her sister made her hate love. Engineering success was her only future. Expectations bound her. A scholar who was tired of speaking. A prince who was unable to speak. Their silent gaze made them want to speak again. Their shared silence became their only connection. Her voice was ignored. His was broken. The only thing louder than their silence was the truth behind their unspoken stare. She chose silence because no one listened. He chose silence because he lost his voice. Could they hear the truth in each other's eyes?
Midnight Rewinds
I never believed in perfect starts. I wasn't the guy who lit up a room or made girls turn their heads. But then she walked in-first day of senior year-and everything changed. Her name was Lena. Beautiful, sharp, untouchable. The kind of girl you admire from a distance and never think will notice you. And for a while, she didn't. But then something shifted. I asked for her Instagram. I started texting her. Late-night chats turned into inside jokes, nervous flirting, and long walks under empty skies. Slowly, she let me in. Slowly, I fell-harder than I ever thought possible. She started to love me too... or so I thought. But love is never a straight line. Not when her past is made of broken promises and bruised trust. Not when she starts pulling away just as I'm holding on tighter. I loved her harder the more she faded-and then, one day, she was gone. No explanations. No warning. Just silence. A year passed. Then, one night-midnight phone call, trembling voice, the same girl who broke me once asking if I still remember how it felt to love her. This is the story of how we began. Of how we ended. Of how sometimes, the people who break you are the only ones who know how to put you back together. And maybe-just maybe-some love stories aren't about forever. They're about surviving the parts that almost destroy you.Complete
