badboy couple flirt funny heartbreak love mystery romance sabotage toxic viral

All my life has been filled with questions.
Who will I become? Who will I love? Will I ever have a family of my own? And when it's all over, will my story end in happiness... or heartbreak?

Every time I let those thoughts consume me, I feel lost, almost sick with the weight of them. But there's one thing that never makes me falter.

You.

You are the one constant, the warmth I never expected, the spark that pulls me toward something brighter-something real. With you, for the first time, the questions don't scare me.

But love is never simple... and not every mystery has a happy ending.All Rights Reserved

Chasing Charming ✔️ by bearjordan

Complete! "You know I really like you, right?" He was definitely drunk. "You do?" I asked. My voice was supposed to be teasing, but I think it came off as a bit startled. He laughed, "Yeah, why else would I trust you with all my secrets?" -- Betty was many things; a romantic, a fashion designer, a bit more jealous than the average girl, great with a camera, a helpful daughter and a good friend. But she was best known for being nice. And usually, the boy did not want the 'nice' girl. But this summer she was going to prove to Mike, her crush since FOREVER, that nice was enough. She was going to have an amazing summer, a perfect Junior year, and finally have her first kiss. It was a foolproof plan. Moving from her childhood home in Arizona to New Mexico at the start of Junior year was never a part of Betty's plan. But sometimes when parents are involved, plans change. So now the nice girl had to start over at a new school in a new State. And when the (maybe not so bad) bad boy, Eli, gets involved, it might be hard to be known as 'the nice girl'.

"Everything I Wish I Knew" by daisywritess_

Everything I've always dreamt of was a fairytale type of romance. Everything I've ever wanted was to find my prince charming, one who buys me flowers and chocolates. Everything I've silently prayed for was for a hand to pull me from the suffocation torment I was drawing in. And my heart thought I've found all that since the first time I saw 𝐉𝐚𝐱𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐡; the most beautiful guy that made my heart flutter. But everything I thought I knew about love was wrong. The prince charming I thought was going to be my savior ended up being my destroyer. I'm 𝐊𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐚 𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐬, and this is everything I wish I knew before I fell for my cataclysmic prince. [𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 #𝟐 - 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝟏]

The Love That Ruined Me by lyselune_c

Started: 10/28/2025 Ended: I knew he was married... but I still let myself fall. We were friends before his wife came- not close, not strangers either. We never said what we truly felt. Maybe because we were scared to give it meaning. But fate played its cruel trick. We ended up living in the same boarding house-different rooms, same secret. We both knew it was wrong... yet we crossed the line anyway. He was my first- my first love, my first sin, my first heartbreak. I thought I could handle it. But loving him was slowly destroying me. So I did the only thing that could save what's left of me... I left him. Because sometimes, walking away doesn't mean you stopped loving- it just means you've finally learned to love yourself.

Bound To Be by thee_arielle

So close that things happen. What happens? Do sparks fly?

Billionaire Next Door✔ by hannahosell

I shrunk back into my seat as his head snapped towards me. He looked like his head was going to fall off. His eyes were blazing with rage. His face was set into an icy glare. His fists that rested on the table were clenched so hard his knuckles were white. As he stood from his chair so did I. I felt like the prey to the biggest predator in the jungle. I took two steps back for every stride he took towards me. I gulped again before shaking me head. "She's just joking Ace." my voice quivered as I took another two steps back. "How do I know that?" he sneered down at me, his body towering over me. As I went to take another step backwards, my back made contact with the wall behind me. Well great. Now I'm cornered. This is just typical. ............................................................. One girl moves to the big apple after her family disintegrates around her. All she has left is her one brother. Well, that's what she thought. She attends college like a normal girl and even gains a job on the side with someone who just so happens to be her neighbor. One man has lived in a house most of his adult life. He owns multiple clubs and watched as his family disintegrated around him. All he has left is his sister. A small fragile girl moves next door and he finds himself infatuated. He lands her a job... As his assistant. He is dangerous. She is sly. He is rude. She is sweet. He can not lie and not get away with it. She can make any lie seem like the sweetest truth. She is a bad girl that hasn't been caught. He is a great catcher. Read to find out their twisted story.

HIM by Lorie__Harper

Every girl thinks it's romantic to fall for someone broken - someone battling addiction, infidelity, or anger issues - and to believe she'll be the one to fix him. That he'll change for her. He won't. Anyone watching from the outside can see that. But that's not why I stayed. I never wanted to change him. I can't say I didn't want to help, because that would be a lie. It just happened this way. When you love someone like that, you face impossible choices. How much can you give before you lose yourself? How far can love carry you before it burns you alive? Of course... it's never that simple. It's never just black and white.

The Girl No One Chose by Nyctovar

I gave him everything. My heart. My body. My secrets. He gave me silence-and loved someone else. I was just the distraction. The warm body. The easy f*ck. Not the girl he showed off. Not the one he kissed in public. Not the one he chose. Now I'm done waiting. Done begging to be seen. Because the girl no one chose... She's about to become the girl no one forgets.
