He used to drive her insane. Always teasing, always provoking, always acting like he had the upper hand. But she never stayed quiet. She gave it right back, and somewhere in the fire of their constant battles, she fell for him.
And just when everything started to feel real, he disappeared. No warning. No explanation. Just silence.
She tried to hate him. I tried to forget. But the questions never stopped haunting her. Why did he leave? Did any of it mean anything to him?
Five years passed. She built walls. Moved on. Or at least, she thought she did.
Then he came back. Older. Quieter. Still carrying secrets she didn't understand. He told her about his mother. About the pain. And for a moment, despite everything, she let herself care.
But the truth is, she still hasn't forgiven him.
And she's not sure if she ever will.

ashlayes♡ Tank you for the amazing beautiful cover. I truely appreciate it "But I love you" She told him, but he couldnt realise how much she did by the way she said it, by the way her face stayed emotionless infront of him, her eyes dull. She couldn't read him either. His face was a mirror of her own, they both we're reflections on the past. Before the world dulled their shine. It took everything of her to keep the lump out of her throat as she stared at him, everything to keep away the feelings, the memories and emotions. They both taught themselves a long time ago not to live, not to feel and to chase every emotion away by fear and hate. Sad part was it was 5 years later , 5 years of they both being a walking corpse of life, of being alive but not truely living, they both wouldve qualified for a grim reeper or death angel. And now? Wel now after being dead for 5 years their paths has crossed again and why was the question they both seeked.Complete

Warning ⚠️ This book contains dark themes, mature and triggering content, i.e. description/talk of suicide, rape, porn, and mature language. ~^~^~^~ His lips cupped mine, and a swell of warmth unfurled in my heart. It was gentle and soft, something I never expected from a guy like him. He moved his right hand from my cheek to my waist, tugging me against him, and molded our bodies together. A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips. "Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave. With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips. He swept my hair from my face to my back and gathered them in his fist. He tugged my head back, deepening the kiss, and my heart thrashed in my chest. At that moment, I didn't need drugs to know what being high felt like because his lips were enough to send me on nine clouds. Just once and I was addicted to it. If this is how being kissed feels like, then fuck, I've wasted a lot of time. ~^~^~^~ FEATURED ON: @Romance (Romantic Suspense) HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 Goodgirl, Darkpast #2 Badboy #5 NewaduComplete
Crazy Mafia Queen- Part 1- draft 1
They say the world doesn't revolve around anyone. But for her, it did. Every action, every word, every breath she took sent ripples through the lives of those around her. A single misstep-no matter how small-left scars so deep they infected everything they touched. They never asked what she wanted. They didn't care. To them, she was power. A weapon. A curse and a blessing wrapped in silk and steel. A pawn in a war she never asked to fight. But they made a mistake. They pushed her too far. Because when a person loses everything-when they're stripped bare, when their mind frays at the edges, when the last tether holding them to sanity snaps-what's left isn't human. It's something else. Something terrifying. And now, the world will learn that the most dangerous thing isn't power. It's a woman who's done being controlled. . . . Lesson 1 - Being underestimated isn't a weakness. It's the sharpest weapon in your arsenal. Lesson 2 - Love is neither strength nor weakness. It's a chain-whether it binds or breaks you depends on who's holding the other end. Lesson 3 - Revenge isn't something you forgive. It isn't something you forget. It's something that lingers, festers, and demands to be fed. Lesson 4 - Fear isn't taught. It's carved into us from birth. The world just keeps digging deeper. Lesson 5 - No one loses their mind without reason. Madness is not born-it's made. And there's always a trigger.Complete
HIS SECRET
In a world that had long since turned its back on him, she was the flicker of warmth he never deserved. He kept her close, shielding her from the chaos that hunted them both, whispering promises he wasn't sure he could keep. He carried secrets-ones that could unravel everything between them. So he lied. Not with words, but with silence. With every quiet moment, every deflection, every "not now," he built a wall between her heart and the truth. And though he succeeded in protecting her from the darkness he buried, he began to lose her in the process. Her patience thinned. Her questions grew sharper. Her eyes, once filled with trust, now searched him for answers he refused to give. But then he discovered the truth he was hiding was only the beginning-a fragment of something far more devastating. And with that revelation came a choice: to keep protecting her, or become the very thing she needed protection from. Could he bear the pain of what was coming? Could he still be her shield, or would he become her hunter-like the past he'd tried so desperately to escape? When the moment comes, he will have to choose. Love. Or revelation.

"Are you stalking me?" His deep voice asked. "You wish, that would mean I actually thought about you enough to wonder where you are." I looked away smugly.

18+ content with sexuality and domestic violence and traumatizing experience _________________________ Life is not like a movie where we are born into a rich and perfect family, where our childhood feels like a fairy tale and everything we wish for magically appears in our hands. In films, parents never argue with us, never refuse us anything. Life flows smoothly, almost unreal. In those stories, when we become teenagers, we begin to "live." We go to night outs at friends' houses, attend loud house parties, wander into clubs, and return home late at night without anyone stopping us. We drive our own cars, free and fearless. One evening, we take the person we love on a long drive, the road stretching endlessly ahead of us. Under a sky scattered with countless stars, we stop the car somewhere quiet. The world becomes silent except for the sound of our breathing. We look at the person beside us, kiss them, and fall deeper in love in that moment. Years pass, and eventually we marry that same person. After all, we were always perfect in this imaginary story-so of course our parents approve without hesitation. After the wedding, we travel the world together, exploring new countries and chasing sunsets, living a life that seems endlessly joyful. Then one day, we decide it's time for a child. We imagine a small home far away from the chaos of cities, somewhere surrounded by nature. A garden blooms outside the house, and vegetables grow in the little farm we cultivate with our own hands. Every morning before leaving for work, we share a gentle kiss. And one day, many years later, we imagine ourselves growing old together, lying side by side on the same bed, taking our final breaths in each other's presence. But that is only what humans hope for - a beautiful, comforting illusionComplete
The Bullied Mate
She had tears in her eyes and was looking at me with disgust. Our eyes locked and it was like the world disappeared. It was her and me. I was to protect her with every fiber in my being and in that moment I want to cherish and comfort her and hurt whoever did this to her. Then it dawned on me. I did this. I hurt my mate. That thought alone made me want so shrivel in a ball and die. We broke eye contact when she quickly got into her car and drove away. She was my mate. A human. I had to make her love me. I have to make her forgive me. All of the hate for her washed away in that moment, that minute, that second. Disclaimer- I wrote this book when I was super naive and didn't know that the abuse written about in this book is unacceptable and not to be tolerated. Also, it's pretty bad writing. So just keep that in mind too.Complete
