They said love could save me.
But they never told me it could destroy everything else.

I loved her with every broken part of me.
She saw the light in places I'd long buried under years of darkness.
For a while, it felt like maybe I could be someone better, someone whole.

But the past never forgets.
Her father found out who I really am - the son of someone he could never forgive, a man carrying a mind that doesn't always stay steady.
He gave me a choice that wasn't a choice at all.

Now I have to break the only thing that ever made me feel alive: us.
She'll hate me.
And that's exactly what will keep her safe.All Rights Reserved

The Fires of Betrayal by EmptyNestWriter

Bailey I fell in love with Nathan at the age of twelve. He was my twin brother's best friend. We all grew up together and were all so close. We did everything together. We were never separated from each other for very long. That is until she moved to our school. She bore her way into our group. Took my brother and Nathan's love from me. She made it look like I was a cheat, a thief and a liar. Even made my parents distrust me. I am not a wilted rose though, I am not someone you can just step all over. I am strong, I am proud and I will not take this betrayal lying down, I will rise from the ashes. Logan I've loved her from afar. I watched her brother and Nathan treat her like a princess. I saw how much she believed in Nathan and loved Nathan. I told myself that it was okay. I could live without her love, as long as someone loved her. Then she moved to our school and almost everyone that was supposed to lover her betrayed her. She tried to break and ruin their princess, but I know better. She was never a weak princess that needed protecting, she is a queen that will rule everyone and one day I will be her King and together we will burn down their kingdom.

Love In The Shadow by amirina1701

Prologue - When Hearts Break Betrayal doesn't scream. It whispers. It seeps in like poison, invisible at first, until one day you wake up and realize you've been dying quietly inside. That was me. A wife. A mother. A woman discarded for someone else's smile on a glowing screen. He was supposed to be my forever. Instead, he became my wound. Eight months later, I'm still learning how to breathe without bleeding. Two children look at me with eyes too wise for their years. Han, seventeen, carrying silence like armor. Bella, six, asking me why Ami cries at night when the world is asleep. I tell her it's just allergies. She doesn't believe me. Some nights, I wonder if I still exist beyond the roles I'm forced to carry-mother, provider, survivor. Is there still a woman left inside me? Or did she die the night she saw the truth blinking on his phone? And then, in the middle of that loneliness, I met him. Not in the real world, but behind a username. Mr× A stranger with shadows darker than mine. A man broken by betrayal, scarred by addiction, living with an illness that became his shame. We should have never crossed paths. But broken souls recognize each other. And sometimes, even in the darkest places, love finds a way to whisper back. This isn't a fairy tale. This is a story of two wounded hearts, meeting in the rain of their ruins, daring to dream of sunlight again.

TOXIC REWIND by girlwithregrets11

"We were never meant to last... but we couldn't stay away." They met in high school-young, reckless, and hopelessly in love. When it all fell apart, they thought that was the end. But some love stories refuse to stay buried. When they find their way back to each other, it isn't the fairytale they once dreamed of. Love turns toxic, passion turns destructive, and together, they become the worst versions of themselves. How far will they go before they finally break for good? Or is this the kind of love that never really dies, no matter how much it burns?

Burning for Her: A Love Out of Tune by dreAmyfantacy

"She said she hates me?" Then let her hate me so much she can't breathe without thinking of me. I don't want her back just to hold her hand. I want her to be mine. Her soul, her fire, her chaos... all of it. And I swear on every ounce of pain I carry... I'll make her feel safe again. I'll make her feel chosen. I'll make her feel like no man on this cursed earth can touch what's mine. Because she is mine. She always was. And I don't care if the stars fall, or if the gods scream, or if fate tries to rewrite the story... This time, I'll cry for her. I'll bleed for her. I'll kneel for her if I have to. Because she's the war I'll never stop fighting. So, Ira... Be angry. Be distant. Be cruel if you must. But I'm coming to you. Just a few more hours, and you'll see... The man who once broke you... Will be the man who worships your soul like it's the only truth that ever mattered. And I promise... You will love me. Even if it starts with hate. Even if I have to burn myself to light your way. Because what is mine... Will be mine... Till my very last breath. #badboyromance #secondchanceromance #possessivelove #emotionalrollercoaster #healingjourney #brokenandbeautiful #darkromance #obsessivelove #wattpadstory #wattpadromance #emotionalromance #enemiestolovers #protectivelove #wattpadintro #heartbreaktohealing #loveandpain

Tangled Vengeance|| A Forbidden Romance by TheNarrativeNookk

I came to him with one thing in mind-revenge. He was nothing more than a tool in my plan, a way to get back at my ex. But somewhere between the quiet moments and the heated ones, something shifted. He made me feel things I never knew existed-passion, desire, and a side of me I never thought I'd explore. I was supposed to be using him, but now, it feels like I'm the one caught in a web of emotions I never planned on. She walked into my life like a storm, all sweetness and warmth, never once hinting at the hidden motive behind her smile. I couldn't help but fall for her, every moment with her felt real, like something I never knew I needed. But little did I know, I was just another pawn in her game, her eyes locked on something far more bitter. She made me believe in love, only to find out I was nothing more than a step in her twisted plan for revenge.
