Lana
I never thought the man who escaped that nightmare with me would stand in front of me after five years. Back then, he gave me money and urged me to build a new life. Now he's here... or perhaps everywhere. Shall I call our meetings coincidences every time? He never meets my eyes, as though I embody his worst memory. He was kidnapped with me that night. Maybe the trauma haunts him more than it haunts me... or maybe he's hiding something.

Eamon
She thinks I was just her fellow captive. That's true... in a way. But I can't tell her everything. I can't look her in the eye. She's a painful remnant of the night I lost everything. Reconnecting with her after five years might've been fate-or something more deliberate. Was she merely a pawn in my misery? Or the queen orchestrating it all? Maybe she's playing innocent... or perhaps she truly is.

BROKEN HOPE (Lucas & Emilia Book 2) by ArianaClarkAuthor
39 parts Complete Mature
I was so damn naive it's no wonder I've ended up here. Kidnapped by the man who promised me forever, just as I'd begun to understand the depths of his betrayal. It's a sad truth I didn't marry my husband for love. I married him for the life he promised to provide, and if I'm honest with myself, I married him in hopes one day he'd fill the void Lucas-my first love-left behind. Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I've walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life's harshest lesson... I'm not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me. Especially now. Surrounded by danger and at the mercy of my husband's enemies, I'm forced to face one final bit of truth. Much like love, hope is for the weak. I was a fool to believe in the vows and promises they made. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 2 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc. For the complete experience, start with Book 1: Broken Vows.
The Devil's Crybaby by Alywinter
71 parts Ongoing Mature
A man stormed in with a gun. She was shot. She lived, but the part of her that trusted life didn't. After that, she became careful. She avoided crowds. Sudden movements made her freeze. She spent more time alone because it felt easier than being around people who didn't understand what had happened to her. Life became smaller, but it felt safer that way. Then one night, someone came for her. He took her from her bed without explaining who he was. He kept her moving, kept her close, and kept his distance at the same time. A man who lived by rules she didn't understand and fear she couldn't escape. Everything about him screamed danger, yet he never touched her without reason. Never spoke more than necessary. He lived for one person only. Everything he did was for his brother. His brother had lost an eye years ago because of him, and he treated that loss like something he could never make right. He followed his brother's orders without thinking about the consequences. When his brother wanted something, he made it happen. Eliza asked questions. Tried to understand what she had been pulled into. The man who kidnapped her protected her but never from the truth. In the silence he left behind, she started filling in the gaps herself. She told herself he wouldn't protect her if she didn't matter. She told herself that the way he stayed close meant something. When she finally learns the reason she was taken, it doesn't come gently. It strips away everything she believed and leaves her facing the fact that she was never chosen. She was a promise. A problem someone else decided to solve. Two brothers want different things from her. One wants to own her. One never planned to keep her. Around them is a world where violence is normal, where people disappear without anyone asking questions, and where some men hunt for reasons that have nothing to do with survival. This is not a story about being saved.

His Possession by firstdis0rder
59 parts Complete Mature
"Let me go, you sick, twisted, bastard!" I seethed through gritted teeth. I felt an uncontrollable amount of fear rake over my body. I soon began to shake. The fear that I pushed aside was bubbling up in my stomach, and I felt like I was going to yak. I swallowed the urge to do so, and gritted my teeth. Trust me, I wanted to yak all over this pretentious asshole. "Sorry kitten, not ever going to fucking happen." He said carelessly as he tightened his grip on the steering wheel. His eyes were fixed on the dark road ahead of us, the road I surely didn't want to die on. "I'm not your fucking kitten!" I hissed. "Now let me out of this fucking car before I rip your balls off and shove them down your thr-" Before I could even finish my sentence the car swerved to the side of the road and came to a sudden stop, immediately sending me flying into the dash. My forehead collided with the roughness of the dash. I slowly pulled away and tried to sit back up, a small groan escaped my mouth as I rubbed my now bleeding forehead. I heard him rustling around, but couldn't see much due to the black spots in my vision. I heard the sound of something popping open and the sound of liquid being poured. I rubbed my head painfully and blinked several times. "Tell me kitten," I heard him say slyly. "Does this smell like chloroform?" He chuckled. Emily Watts, twenty years old and living alone in LA, due to her parents being drunken assholes. She had barely any money to her name, and worked at a small diner, trying to earn some money.

HIS QUEEN HER KING by tanishqwrite
41 parts Ongoing Mature
She was innocent-too innocent for a world like his. Or so he thought. She had lived a simple life, untouched by the blood-soaked world he ruled. A girl with dreams, warmth, and a heart that had never known cruelty. But fate was never kind, and in one ruthless moment, she was thrown into the hands of a man who thrived in the dark. He was a ghost, a king among criminals. Feared, respected, and merciless, his power stretched far beyond what most could imagine. He had seen countless people break under his rule-some begged, some fought, but all eventually submitted. But not her. She met his cold gaze with fire, refused to crumble beneath his threats. He thought she was afraid, that she despised him for taking away the life she once knew. He wanted her to hate him-it was easier that way. And yet, something about her didn't make sense. She adapted too quickly, learned too fast. The fear in her eyes began to fade, replaced by something else-something darker. The way she handled a gun, the way she looked at the chaos around her... it wasn't terror. It was fascination. Then, the truth hit him like a bullet. She wasn't just some innocent girl caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was born for this world. And worse-she was enjoying every second of it.

He was her rock, her best friend, her first love. He became her worst nightmare, her tormentor, her captor She was his everything. His obsession. Their story should have ended with that court case, but he's found a way back to her, and he won't give her another opportunity to escape. Not this time. ------------------------------------------- Shivering, I sobbed out, unable to speak, unable to move. "Shh, shh, now baby-girl, it's alright, you're safe, don't cry" he soothed, moving closer to me. "N-Noah, I w-want to go home," I sobbed, feeling weak from my inability to talk without stuttering. A gasp left my parted lips as his hand forcefully connected with my cheek, "You are home, so I don't want to hear that crap from you, okay?" shaking, I looked down at my feet, his gaze too menacing to hold. "I said, do you understand" he spit through clenched teeth, "y-yes, I'm sorry" I whispered, a new wave of tears making their appearance. "Good girl, now I need you to keep being a good girl, okay?" nodding, my eyes met his dark ones. His form towered over me, making me feel small and irrelevant. "Words, Embry!" He demanded as I stuttered out a quiet yes. I studied him cautiously as he walked towards the far end of the room, shuffling through drawers before stalking back towards me and crouching down. I sucked in a breath as I saw the knife in his hand, his face held a mischievous grin as it glinted in the light. "Now baby-girl, you see, as much as I hate to, you need to be punished, do you know why?" Warning! This story is for mature audience, it contains strong language, abuse, mature themes and sensitive topics. Please enjoy, -Aphrodite.

You're my solace, my salvation. And I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy. Even if I have to break you first, I'll piece you back together with my own hands. Even if it costs me everything... even if it costs me my life." -------------------- "Run, Akshaya. Run!" I whispered to myself, my breath ragged, legs trembling as I pushed harder. "If you stop now, it's over. You'll never be the same again. They all betrayed you. He betrayed you. He's been playing with you-your feelings, your trust. Don't look back. Just go!" I reached the bus station, my chest heaving. Without thinking, I stumbled into the first bus I saw, collapsing into a seat as it started moving. My head fell against the window, the weight of everything crushing me. Fear and exhaustion pulled me into restless sleep. But it didn't last long. A sudden halt jolted me awake. My eyes fluttered open, heart pounding as I looked around. The bus was empty. A chill crawled down my spine. Something wasn't right. And then I saw him. He stepped onto the bus, his dark eyes locking onto mine immediately. A slow, knowing smirk played on his lips. "Enjoy your little escape, wildcat?" His voice was calm, mocking, as he moved closer. My heart raced, and I pressed myself against the seat. "Stay away from me," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. His smirk deepened, his steps deliberate. "Stay away? After all this effort, you think I'll let you go?" He stopped just inches from me, towering over me. "You don't get it, do you? You can run all you want, but you'll never escape me.
