Leila never asked for change.
But her body sharpened, her mind quickened, and suddenly she was the name whispered in boardrooms - the woman who solved problems before the question was even finished.
Everyone calls it talent. Luck. Discipline.
Leila knows better. She feels it. Something has shifted.
And at night, the dreams come.
A man with dark, devastating eyes. Adrian.
A woman who moves like a goddess in the mirror. Selene.
Strangers she somehow already knows - and desires.
Their presence haunts her, seduces her, unravels her. She doesn't know if they're visions, memories, or a future she's not ready for.
All she knows is this:
Her ascent has begun.
And someone - or something - is pulling the strings.

OBSESSION. too personal
This could have been a gentle story for quiet autumn evenings. But it shattered against Morphine - a chapter that will not let you stay indifferent. And now, you'll understand why. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about healing through pain, about love that blooms after trauma, and about the fragile line between salvation and obsession. She is a woman rebuilding herself from the ashes. Not strong - simply real. A mother. A fighter. A writer whose words cut deeper than truth itself. She doesn't want to be someone's muse - she only wants to be understood. He is the man the world worships... and fears. A legend. A symbol of an era. But behind the fame, there's a man haunted by his own darkness. Together, they are fire and gasoline - two broken souls learning how to love without losing themselves. Their story isn't a fairytale. It's an age-gap dark romance about redemption, grief, and the courage to love again. With touch. With words. With silence between the lines.Complete

"Your body speaks louder than your words,"- he said adamantly. "Your beautiful face is trying to hide emotions, but your eyes are giving you away." He got even closer.

The Heroes of Baldur's Gate... and Me
I watch Tav as she strides through camp, her fiery red hair flowing around her shoulders, sunlight glistening off her golden breastplate. She is strong, determined, and brave. The whole camp love her, the men tripping over themselves to be close to her, ready to follow her into battle at a moments notice. She is beautiful, the epitome of grace.... What a bitch I shake my head, ashamed at my petty thoughts. Jealousy has always been a weakness of mine. But I cannot help but compare myself to Tav, everything I am not. Surely there was a mistake? Why would the Dream Visitor help me? A 36 year old mother, her adventuring days behind her? I'm just a regular person, a nobody?

The Price of Innocence
"Some ghosts don't haunt to scare you. They haunt to remind you what you lost." Thandi's innocence echoed in every memory she shared with her sister. She's accepted the truth - her sister is gone, and nothing can change that. But everything shatters the moment she sees her again. Alive. Smiling. Real. Now caught between the sister she loves and the man she's come to care for, Thandi must make an impossible choice - one that will teach her that even innocence comes with a price. In a world of power, secrets, and ruthless ambition, every choice has consequences. Loyalties will be tested, hearts will be broken, and betrayal lurks in the most unexpected places. Survival is only the beginning; when nothing is as it seems, even the purest hearts cast the darkest shadows.Complete
The Ardent House of Braywood
When Seren arrives at Ardent House, she expects silence, isolation, and time to disappear from the world. What she finds instead is a house that doesn't observe so much as appraise. It doesn't creak with age - it listens. It doesn't settle at night - it adjusts. Nothing announces itself directly. The changes begin small: a door ajar then closed, a table scarred deeper overnight, a stain darkening in wood that should be dry. Seren's reflection begins to hesitate. Walls breathe. Paintings alter themselves a stroke at a time. Sounds don't travel through rooms - they travel under skin. The house isn't haunted in a way she understands. It's not occupied by something - it is the something. Thinking. Sensing. Selecting. And Seren's presence isn't an intrusion. It's an ingredient. Every night, the house grows more certain of her. Every day, the boundaries of her body, her sleep, her perception loosened - not broken, but repurposed. What lingers in the walls isn't trying to scare her away. It's making room.
