The Clear Blue sky by PraveenKumar792945

He built his life on discipline. She survived on charm. Their secret affair was a collision of two different worlds. What began as a stolen glance quickly became an intoxicating addiction. He saw a wounded soul only he could understand. She saw a stable future only he could provide. But as their hidden relationship deepened, so did the lies. Was her vulnerability real, or a carefully crafted performance? Was his devotion true love, or just the thrill of playing the hero? Trapped between his family's growing suspicions and her desperate need for control, he slowly started to lose himself. This is not a fairy tale. It's the story of an ordinary man caught in an extraordinary web of manipulation, and the painful journey he must take to untangle his self-worth from her deception. The greatest battle isn't for her heart-it's for his own peace of mind. To discover whether he finds the strength to choose himself, follow his compelling journey to its powerful conclusion.

Maddness in the Dark by kb_mafia

Michael was twenty-two when he first saw her-just a girl on a subway platform, eighteen and unaware that her smile would shatter his fragile grip on reality. To Michael, Kyra isn't just beautiful. She's salvation. She's fate. She's his. He watches. He waits. He creates the perfect moments to step into her life, each encounter carefully staged to look like chance. To Kyra, Michael is charming, protective, almost too good to be true. But behind every gentle gesture lies calculation, and behind every act of kindness, possession. When the walls of Michael's obsession close in, Kyra finds herself torn between terror and temptation. Fear twists into something darker, something dangerously close to desire. Because the most horrifying part of all isn't the prison he's building around her-it's the part of her that starts to want to stay. A story of obsession, captivity, and the razor-thin line between love and madness, Madness in the Dark asks one question: How far can devotion go before it becomes a cage?

30 Lashes: Submission. Punishment. Love by JDaleKink

She ran from the one man who would never hurt her-into the arms of one who did. Now she wants to come home. But trust, once broken, demands a different kind of pain. Sam made a mistake. One that nearly tore her world apart. Devin, her Dom, was everything she craved-control, safety, love. But fear made her lie, and pride made her run. Now she's back. And Devin isn't interested in punishment. He wants something harder: understanding. Rebuilding. To be his again, Sam must face what she tried to forget-the truth about Greg, about herself, and about the paper-thin line between surrender and self-destruction. A raw, psychological journey through kink, repair, and the deepest kind of submission.

The Professor's Captive -Book 1 by DjMaine0

Trapped in an estate where obedience is measured and desire is weaponized, DJ wasn't chosen, she was claimed. Thrown into a world of brutal lessons and psychological games, she finds herself tangled with four dangerously magnetic men. Each man pushes her limits, and each one reveals just how complicated survival can be. Because some girls don't need saving. They just need room to burn. Trigger Warning: This is a dark psychological story that dives deep into themes of captivity, control, and trauma. It includes mature content, psychological manipulation, past abuse, and intense power dynamics. There are also references to non-consensual situations and emotional/mental distress. Please take care while reading - this story isn't for everyone.

To Hell by AzioPza

She was supposed to get better. He was supposed to disappear. They were all supposed to forget. But nothing stays buried forever. Especially not the kind of secrets that leave teeth marks. In a city built on silence and sin, five broken strangers are dragged back into the orbit of a man they thought was dead. Each carries their own trauma, their own rage, their own crimes. Each one marked. Each one watched. Each one chosen. There's the therapist who weaponizes grief. The girl who survived and became the monster. The boy who turned pain into poetry-and then into war. The cult leader who doesn't believe in forgiveness. And the one with blood on her tongue and no name left to pray with. A list has surfaced. And their names are on it. Crossed out. Carved in. Waiting. This isn't a love story. It's a reckoning. A spiral into obsession, violence, memory, and manipulation. Read it only if you can handle: Therapy sessions that turn abusive. Confessions that turn deadly. Love that turns into a knife. You've been warned.

FIRES AT THE EDGE by ObsessiveSoul24

"Some fires don't destroy you. They reveal you." Jessica, works at a blood center where every day feels the same-until Nick walks in. He's younger, quiet, and carries a darkness that feels both dangerous and magnetic. What begins as curiosity turns into obsession, and what feels like safety slowly twists into something else entirely. Nick sees her in ways no one else does. Her patterns. Her fears. The way she hides her loneliness behind politeness. His mind is chaos-psychopathy, BPD, OCD-but Jessica becomes his anchor, the one person who makes the noise stop. As their connection deepens, obsession burns slow but steady. Boundaries blur. Control shifts. Every glance becomes a confession, every silence a war. And when the line between love and madness disappears, Jessica must face the truth: some connections are fated to consume.

A Twisted Heart by RoxxyMay12

Amy has always been in love with Robert, a man who once swept her off her feet. But as the years go by, the love she feels is overshadowed by Robert's manipulative, narcissistic behavior. Trapped in a cycle of emotional and mental abuse, Amy struggles with her feelings for him, convinced that she's the problem. When she meets Hayden, a kind and understanding colleague, she begins to see her relationship with Robert for what it truly is-a prison of control and deceit. As Robert's manipulative tactics grow stronger, Amy's loyalty is tested, and the thin line between love and fear becomes more blurred. With Hayden by her side, Amy starts to find the courage to face the truth about Robert's cruelty and reclaim her life. But leaving isn't easy, especially when Robert's promises of change pull her back in time and time again. In a journey of heartache, self-discovery, and the struggle for independence, Amy must choose: stay and live in fear, or break free and learn to love herself again.

Katie and Jason never should have met. From the moment Jason laid eyes on Katie, something inside him changed - something he could never control. His fascination grew quietly, hidden behind cruelty, until obsession became the only language he knew. Katie should have run, but instead she found herself caught in a pull of a darkness that felt almost like love. As the line between affection and control begins to blur, both of them are drawn into a twisted bond that defies reason - and destroys everything in its path. A haunting story of obsession, power, and the fragile threads that bind love and madness.
