The Wilted Rose: The Calling.
~ Introduction. ~ The Wilted Rose explores a dark, toxic relationship between two characters: Lethara, the female lead, and Misoko, the male lead. The opening chapters reveal their twisted dynamic, exposing a bond that is intense, possessive, and far more fragile than it seems. With words sharp as knives, these moments are meant to leave readers unsettled - breathless, uneasy, yet unable to look away. This story falls under two genres: dark romance and psychological horror. While romance exists, it is neither gentle nor idealized. Instead, it examines obsession disguised as devotion, control mistaken for protection, and the slow erosion of trust and identity within an unbalanced relationship. The horror is not rooted in fantasy, but in the human mind - manipulation, fear, silence, and the quiet dread of realizing something is deeply wrong. Not everything in this story appears at once. Some truths arrive slowly. Some are left behind. And some details - small, deliberate, and crimson - may mean more than they first seem. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Content Warning. ~ The Wilted Rose explores fragile mental states and emotional instability. It examines toxic attachment, coercion, and the psychological weight of living where love and harm intertwine. These themes are not softened - they are raw, uncomfortable, and deeply unsettling. This novel contains depictions of emotional abuse, manipulation, threats, blood, and violent imagery. It includes mental health struggles, suicidal and self-harm thoughts, coercion, and strong language. Reader discretion is advised. This story is not for the faint of mind. At its core, The Wilted Rose is a collision between devotion and destruction. What begins as love may decay into something far more consuming. What will happen to Lethara? Will she live to smell another rose, or will Misoko's hands crush her before she finds freedom? Turn the page, and find out.

The seduction dripped off of her tongue, just like I desired to be, her low voice entrancing me with the dangerously sadistic melodies of a siren song, with the most terribly sinful lyrics. "I could kill you right now, Angel." She inched closer towards me. "Right here," she said, her eyes raking over my body, sizing me up, slowly. The lustful grey in them soon lifted back up, intimidating mine. Her harsh words screamed murderous intent, but the look in her eyes whispered a different kind of sin. I couldn't tell whether my breath hitched at her cruel threat, or the yearning pulse between my... She interrupted my stream of consciousness, poisoning it with every still second, keeping her gaze on mine as her depraved hand reached out to caress the bruised side of my neck. "But I have something else in mind." ββββββββββββββββββββ No one ever says it out loud. What she really is. Dangerous. Heartless. Merciless. A murderer. Everyone knows it. And now, she's in control. There are only so many people who kill their way to the top and get away with it. But there are things far more dangerous than power. Things not only worth killing for, but dying for. Seduction. Obsession. Love? Angeline Kelleher, her new secretary, seems to be the only one reckless enough to question her. To stand too close. To look too long. Unfortunately for Angeline, sin itself was designed to allure. Some urges were never meant to be denied, and resisting the sexual temptation of the devil is not an easy sport. But resisting falling in love may be even harder, especially with someone she wasn't sure was even capable of such a feeling... Hopefully π‘βππ angel doesn't fall and break her wings. ππ’πβοΌ β οΈ MATURE CONTENT β οΈ #1 in lesbian (October 2025) #1 in women (August 2026)

He swiped my sweat-soaked hair off my neck, resting his lips against my ear. His fiery breaths blew across my earlobe. My body shuddered once again, craving more of him. "You're not the first woman to think she could seduce me into bed because of who I am, what I write. And you won't be the last." He gave a small chuckle, pulling down my dress, so it covered me. "But," he said in a low growl, "so far...... you're my favorite." Breaths poured from my lips at those words. My heart fluttered inside my pounding chest. His favorite, my brain stuck to his words like glue. Clinging to the small hope we'd continue this somewhere else, more than once. We stayed in that position for a moment before his body heat disappeared from my back. He lit a cigarette in front of me, the flash of the lighter illuminating his flushed, sweat-soaked face. I leaned against the brick wall, finding comfort in the coolness against my heated skin. His eyes met mine again. I didn't think I could move from the spot, but he forced me to when he held up a red, lacy thong in between his fingers. My red lacy thong.
