( Rewritten)
She thought leaving her village would set her free.
College life, independence, and the city lights - it was everything she dreamed of.

Until he showed up.
Cold. Rich. Powerful. And watching her like she already belonged to him.

She's not ready for his world.
He's not used to being challenged.

💋 A slow-burn romance full of tension, angst , pinning , yearning , and secrets waiting to explode.

She came to the city to become a doctor - not to fall in love with a storm.
Raven never believed in fairytales. But when she crossed paths with Zayn Blackthorn, the arrogant billionaire with eyes like midnight and words that burned, her world shifted. He wasn't supposed to mean anything. Yet he became everything - her gravity, her chaos, her undoing.

But love with Zayn was never soft.
It was angst and yearning, power and surrender, a constant pull between wanting him and needing to breathe. Every time she tried to escape, he pulled her closer - until she could no longer tell where the hate ended and the love began.

Now, with secrets unraveling, pasts colliding, and a world watching their every move, Raven must decide:
Is he her salvation or her ruin?
And how many times can a heart break before it stops believing in love?
Because Zayn Blackthorn will do anything to win her back -
even if it means groveling for the love he once tried to own.

Back To You by xxlewixx

Madison thought she had closed the door on Tayler forever. Two years ago, she walked away, leaving behind the only boy who ever truly knew her-the one who made her feel safe, seen... and ultimately, shattered. She swore she'd never look back. But now, fate has other plans. Thrown back into each other's lives, Madison tells herself she's over him. That what they had is nothing more than a distant memory. But Tayler? He makes forgetting impossible. He's still the same cocky, flirtatious guy who knows exactly how to push her buttons-and pull her back in. Every lingering glance, every teasing remark feels like a dangerous game, and she's not sure she knows the rules anymore. But between them stands more than just unfinished business. New love, tangled emotions, and the unshakable weight of what once was. Madison knows she should keep her distance, but when it comes to Tayler, that's always been easier said than done. "You still look at me the same way," she muttered, hating the way her voice wavered. Tayler smirked, stepping closer, his voice low and daring. "And you still get flustered when I do." She should leave. She should mean it this time. But what if their story was never meant to end-just to begin again?

Destiny by Little_Princess-a

She was forced into his life. He was already in love with someone else. To Zayn, Megha was nothing but a burden-a name on paper, a responsibility he never asked for. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable. He made sure she knew she didn't belong in his world. But fate is cruel. The more he pushed her away, the deeper she sank into his chaos. And when his obsession began to surface... it was no longer about love. It was about possession. Because even if he didn't want her heart- He sure as hell wasn't going to let anyone else have her. "She was his responsibility... until she became his obsession." "A forced vow. A burning desire. A destiny neither of them chose." This story will have two different perspectives. I hope you gonna enjoy my new story. Happy reading. Don't forget to show love .🖤 📌 Author's Note - Please Read Before Starting Destiny is a story built on flawed characters, messy emotions, and the kind of love that doesn't follow the rules. If you're looking for a clean-cut romance with clear heroes and villains - this may not be it. And one more thing if you're looking for a strong female lead ba bye it's not for you. Don't read if you want strong female, I warn you skip if you don't like it. Don't mixed reel with real life. This story is my pure imagination not reality. I am new at writing. It's my new found hobby. I am still learning. I know this story is not perfect. But it's my imagination. Hope you guys will like it. And will try to write better stories next time.

Katherina's life has been anything but a fairytale-haunted by a mother's death she's blamed for, unloved by a father who resents her, and bruised by a stepmother who makes sure she never forgets it. She thought turning 21 would finally set her free. She was wrong. Zade walks into her world with ice in his eyes and revenge in his mind. He doesn't love her. In fact, he despises her. But he needs her-and he'll make her his, no matter the cost. Their marriage is supposed to be fake. Their hate is supposed to keep them apart. But the line between hate and love is razor-thin. And when she lets her guard down, he shatters her heart, leaving her in pieces. When someone else steps in, offering her a chance at everything she's ever dreamed of, she's torn between the man who broke her and the one who's been waiting in the shadows. But the past never stays buried for long, and when the truth is finally out will they both be able to bear consequences of the choices they made? "He promised to ruin her. But somewhere along the way, she became his undoing."

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?

TELL ME WHO I AM! | Dark Romance | Psychological Thriller | by delusionalworld01

She wakes up in a stranger's bed, a diamond ring glimmering on her finger - a symbol of promises she cannot remember - a vow forged in a past that's been stolen from her. Everyone says she's fortunate. That she's blessed. That a beautiful home, a devoted fiancé, and a spotless future await her. But when her pulse falters under his gentle touch... when her skin shivers instead of warming - something deep within resonates with the alarming feeling that something is profoundly, dangerously wrong. He insists it's for her own safety - that something awful happened, that healing simply takes time - but there's a fire in his eyes, a possessiveness he cannot mask. And somewhere in her mind, a locked box rattles against its chains. And at night, in the quiet... she dreams of another man she does not recognize. Until one day he steps out of the shadows. Not with flowers, but with fire, with danger, with a confession forged in the pure agony of a love forgotten. Not with comfort, but with a storm in his eyes and a voice that trembles when he says- "You promised to remember me," he whispers. "Even if the whole world made you forget." He is not kind. He is not patient. His love is wild - a consuming force - a sin that feels more elemental than redemption. The moment he reaches for her, the carefully woven lie starts to unravel, thread by thread, until the awful, beautiful truth emerges. She doesn't know his name. But her soul does. Now, stranded between two men - the man who offers refuge within a perfect illusion and the man who holds the key to a catastrophic reality - she must make a choice. To stay safely oblivious... or to break free and remember the life that was stolen from her. Because someone made sure she forgot. And they'll do whatever it takes to keep it that way. Some truths are dangerous - and some memories are worth everything.
