He watches her like she's the only thing keeping him alive.
She doesn't know he exists... yet.

Lena Vale lives a quiet life-working in a quaint flower shop, sketching in her notebook, and wandering the city in oversized sweaters and scuffed boots. To everyone else, she's just another soft-spoken girl with too many secrets and a camera that never leaves her side.

But to him, she's everything.

Silas Ward has never spoken a word to her. He lingers in the shadows, always just out of sight. He knows her favorite drink. Her morning routine. The way she tucks her hair behind her ear when she's nervous. He tells himself he's protecting her-from the world, from her past, from herself.

And from him.

But when a chance encounter pulls them into each other's orbit, Lena starts to fall-slowly, dangerously. Silas is cold, unreadable, and far too interested in her safety. He says all the right things. Does all the wrong ones.

Because love can look a lot like obsession...
And once she finds out the truth, there's no going back.

LIFE BEGIN AT THE END OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE  by DavidNdupu8
50 parts Complete Mature
Ava Morgan, a cautious and risk-averse woman, has spent her entire life inside the boundaries of safety. Routine defines her: the same job, the same commute, the same people. But beneath her quiet exterior lies a deep fear a childhood loss that convinced her the world is dangerous and unpredictable. When her best friend Lila dares her to join an expedition across uncharted lands, Ava reluctantly agrees, thinking it will just be a short trip to break the monotony. What begins as a harmless adventure quickly spirals into a life-altering journey. Alongside Daniel Cruz, a seasoned adventurer hiding his own demons, Ava travels across jungles, deserts, oceans, and mountains in search of a mysterious ancient landmark whispered about in legend. But the journey isn't just about survival it's about facing fear, trust, and the limits of the human spirit. Standing in their way is Silas Ward, a cunning treasure hunter who believes only the ruthless deserve to succeed. Silas becomes Ava's mirror opposite: where she hesitates, he manipulates; where she values people, he exploits them. Through betrayals, storms, hunger, and the constant question of who to trust, Ava is pushed far beyond her comfort zone. Each challenge strips away her old self and forces her to confront what she has been running from her entire life: her fear of loss, her fear of failure, and ultimately, her fear of living. By the time Ava reaches the final test a perilous confrontation with Silas that threatens not only her life but Daniel's and Lila's she realizes the truth: life never begins in safety. It begins in risk, in courage, in the unknown. In the end, Ava is transformed. She started as someone afraid to live. She ends as someone who understands that every sunrise, every choice, every act of bravery only comes once we step outside the walls we build around ourselves.
The Forgotten Memories. by bountiful1234
18 parts Complete Mature
Lena had always felt like something was missing. There were gaps in her childhood, moments she couldn't quite grasp, as if they had been stolen from her mind. But when she stumbled upon an old, dust-covered box in her grandmother's attic, everything changed. Inside were faded photographs, letters written in a child's handwriting, and a locket she had never seen before-yet it felt so familiar. A strange sense of déjà vu washed over her as she traced the engraving on the locket: Forever Remember. As Lena pieced together the fragments of her past, memories long buried began to resurface-some warm and comforting, others dark and unsettling. She remembered laughter echoing through a sunlit house, the scent of freshly baked cookies, and the soft hum of a lullaby. But then, there were shadows-flashes of terrified screams, a locked door, and a name whispered in fear. Her heart pounded as she unfolded a fragile letter at the bottom of the box. The words sent a chill down her spine: Lena, if you ever find this, know that the truth was hidden to protect you. Do not dig further. Some memories are meant to be forgotten. But it was too late. The whispers in her dreams, the eerie familiarity of strangers on the street, and the overwhelming sense that she was being watched-it all made sense now. The forgotten memories weren't just from childhood. They were erased for a reason. And now, someone knew she was starting to remember.

20 parts Ongoing Mature
(Trigger warning for those easily triggered. This is a dark romance that contains scenes of cnc, kinks, and more. If that is not something you would find yourself interested in. It may be best not to continue. If it is! PLEASE read. YOU WILL LOVE IT) Juliette thought she knew what safety felt like; late-night drives, whispered secrets with friends, the kind of innocence you don't realize is fragile until it shatters. But the night Silas laid eyes on her, that innocence became his favorite game to ruin. By day, Silas is a sharp-suited man with clean records. A man who moves information like a ghost. His job demands precision, secrets, and blood on his hands that no one ever sees. He has power, connections, and a network that bends to his will. But by night, all that control narrows down to one obsession: Juliette. Locked away in his world, she quickly learns that chains don't always rattle and cages aren't always made of steel. Sometimes they're silk sheets, whispered threats, and hands that roam where they shouldn't. Silas doesn't just want to own her body; he wants to unravel her mind, to make her crave the touch she swore she'd never welcome. Every kiss tastes like sin. Every order drags her deeper into his dangerous obsession. The man who should terrify her makes her tremble for all the wrong reasons, and the line between hate and hunger blurs until she can't tell the difference. She should fight him. She should run. But the longer she stays, the more Juliette wonders if escape is the last thing she truly wants. Because Silas isn't just her captor. He's the dark secret she's terrified to need.

"𝑰𝒕'𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒔𝒕 𝒂 𝒃𝒂𝒅 𝒃𝒐𝒚 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒂 𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒍𝒆𝒎𝒂𝒏" 𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒌 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒍𝒊𝒑?" She thought she had her life figured out. A quiet job in a quiet town, a routine that never hurt, and a heart too careful to fall for anyone too fast. But then he walked in. The new hire. Mysterious. Impossibly attractive. He had the smile of a gentleman and the presence of a man who'd burn the world to keep your attention. He said all the right things. Held doors. Knew how to make her laugh. And when he looked at her-it felt like she was the only girl in the universe. But love, she learns, can be blinding. And not all monsters hide in shadows. Some wear suits. Some call you "baby." Some hold you like you're a prayer-then break you like a curse. Because he has secrets. Dark ones. Dangerous ones. The kind of truths that can't be buried without blood. So now the real question is... Will she uncover who he truly is-before it's too late? Can love survive when it's soaked in lies and obsession? And when she finally sees the monster behind the man... Will she run? Or will she stay?
