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
HER OBSESSION (Darker and deadlier) Book 2
Leila had a one night stand with a mysterious man after drinking way too much at a party and imbibing substances she never should have. The next morning, her memories were a mess did she sleep with just him or... was it an orgy with all his friends? Before she could even begin to figure it out, she discovers she was pregnant. And as a high school student? Nope. Not happening. She made the problem go away. But the guilt didn't. Leila spiraled, doing reckless things just to feel something again. Her parents had had enough and shipped her off to college, cutting her off from all her friends. For a while, she forgot about Max. Temporarily. Then she found out he was hosting a party. Of course he was. And of course she snuck out to see him. There he was, with another blonde haired, blue-eyed girl. Not again. Leila wasn't the naive little high school girl she used to be. She had learned. And this time, she was willing to play dirty. Even if it meant getting blood on her hands. Rule of Seduction #4: Set the stage and make it look real. If you get caught up in your own web of lies, all is lost. So, walking past them, I did what any damsel in distress would do, I tripped. The heel of my shoe caught on the trail of my dress, and oops straight I went into Max's arms, my wine glass tilting just enough to spill down his expensive shirt. Oopsie. Shame about the wine. It could've been put to better use. Cough for, uh, more sensual purposes. All rights reserved.

And somewhere between them stood a man who had built an empire in the shadows, carrying his own darkness while becoming the light in hers. Isha Kapoor had spent years running from a life that had only ever taught her pain. She believed she knew who she was, where she came from, and why she had been left with nothing but scars.

Seamless Silver
A young woman (who loves latex a little too much ... if there is such a thing) finds herself confronted with circumstances beyond her control that forcefully alter her life forever. Written 2004-11-28, revised 2018-07-08. This is pretty much my first story, so it's not quite sophisticated. But there's some fun to be found for sure. "And she felt how incredibly relaxed her body was, like she had never been under stress or fear in her whole life. She had been reformatted, reinstalled with a new operating system. What had happened to her, how could it be that she had been transformed into a being of pure free bliss? What had she done, who had decided for that? Could this be just an accident? ... Could she stay like this? Please?" "While the girl came through the mental purge process quite well, I would not call her a simple mind. She just had not filled her heart with fear and hate through her life, so it was not too hard for her to become totally silent inside. I am so damn happy, I can't tell you how much. She agreed to stay, she sees her situation from my point of view. The world is not ready for her, not yet."Complete
𝐑𝐞𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐈𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐬
She was shattered, her past erased by pain, her voice stolen by trauma. He was a ruler-not just of politics but of the shadows where justice was a debt paid in blood. Ruthless to those who took justice for granted, yet never cruel to the innocent. At an early age, he learned one truth-power commands justice. Without it, you're nothing. That night, their worlds collided. He found her-battered, nameless, drowning in silence. He should've walked away. But something about her... felt familiar. A forgotten memory. A name lost in time. A connection buried beneath scars. She had no past she was willing to share. He had a childhood he never let go of. But fate doesn't ask for permission-it rewrites the story in the most ruthless ways. Some scars don't just heal... they reveal. And when the truth surfaces, will it mend what was lost or destroy them both? A story of pain, justice and an unexpected love that blooms in the darkest places.
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? What benefit could I possibly bring to this group of incredible heroes? There has definitely been a big mistake.
