Ignorance Is Bliss by taralikesnoodles

Two lives. One irresistible obsession. Marion and Edwin both think they've found the one. She's never felt so alive, and he's never met anyone like her. The only problem? They're both falling for the same person...and have no clue about each other. As their mysterious crush pulls them deeper, Marion and Edwin start to realize that things don't quite add up. Secrets simmer beneath the surface, and whispers of a darker side grow louder. By the time the truth starts to come to light, it's almost too late to turn back. Because the stranger they're drawn to might just be hiding something that could ruin them all. It's all fun and games until reality hits hard-and the truth is darker than either of them imagined. Because ignorance may be bliss, but the truth is a trap.

Haunting Adeline by Aurorawhisperss

"No wonder I'm going to protect her from the whole fucking world, but who's going to protect her from me?" ✧✧✧✧✧ > Everyone wants to read the real thing. I couldn't post it... so I created something darker. Something mine. ---- They said the mansion was old. Haunted. Forgotten. I thought I was escaping. I didn't know I was walking straight into his trap. Someone is watching me. I hear whispers when I'm alone. Roses show up where they shouldn't. The air is heavy with secrets... and eyes I can't see. He's always one step ahead. One room closer. One breath behind me. I came here to be alone. But he made sure I would never be alone again. This isn't the story you expected. It's worse. ---- 🩸 Mini Scene Teaser : > "I saw you before you were real." He said it like a curse. Like a vow. "So imagine how far I'd go to keep you now. And now that you're mine... I'm never letting you leave." ---- > "You didn't find this mansion, Adeline." "I built every wall around it... for you." ---- > "Leave if you want. I'll still follow your footsteps like I always have." "You haunt me, Sweetheart. And now it's your turn to be haunted." ---- 𝐀𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐒 🕷️🖤 Haunted halls. Obsessive stares. Shadows that never leave. Whispers through the walls. A camera that's always watching. A girl who doesn't know she's already his. Dreams that aren't just dreams. ---- Rankings: #1 in rewritten ---- 🔪 This is a rewritten version inspired by Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton. The plot, characters, and scenes are entirely my own. 🖤 If you've been looking for the original, this one's different - darker, twisted, and personal. 📌 Story by: @Aurorawhisperss 💌 Follow for updates, and don't forget to vote if you're obsessed already! 💋

Crimson Obsession by elljav_Izumi

Lila is a quiet yet deeply disturbed high school girl, harboring an intense obsession with her classmate Gabriel. Her feelings for him are all-consuming, and she believes they are destined to be together, despite their lack of connection. Gabriel, popular and kind-hearted, is oblivious to Lila's fixation, often surrounded by other girls who are drawn to him. As Lila's infatuation grows, so does her paranoia. Every time another girl gets close to Gabriel, Lila sees it as a threat to their bond. Her once shy and withdrawn nature starts to twist into something darker, as she begins to sabotage any girl who seeks his attention. Subtle at first, her acts of cruelty escalate-manipulating and turning violent. When a few of the girls who dare to get too close to Gabriel mysteriously disappear, rumors swirl about the strange coincidences surrounding their disappearances. Lila, consumed by jealousy and desperation, feels invincible in her pursuit of Gabriel, believing that each act of violence brings them one step closer to fate. But as her actions become increasingly erratic, the line between love and madness blurs. Lila's obsession spirals out of control, and the school starts to close in on her, unaware of the extent of her twisted affection. In a world where her heart rules her every move, Lila is willing to sacrifice everything-including her own humanity-to make Gabriel hers.

Why does he act as if their paths were destined to cross? And most importantly... How do you escape someone who swears you belong to them? Because in his eyes, this isn't just obsession. It's fate.

Crimson Logic by darker_glamor

When logic falters, desire answers. L doesn't dream-until the night he sees a kiss in a room bathed in red. The next morning, you arrive at the Kira investigation. A criminal profiler with a past you won't explain, and insights far too perfect. As the line between suspicion and obsession blurs, so does the boundary between right and wrong. A kiss happens. Then another. Truth fragments. Trust cracks. And justice becomes personal. In a world ruled by reason, one variable refuses to be solved. You. Was it love? Was it manipulation? Was it both? One of you walks away. The other never stops searching for the answer. Even if it haunts him forever.

The Psycho Love by Tanushree-1997

Some love stories bloom with roses... but this one begins with blood. Jungkook never believed in love-until he met Kiara, the sweet-looking junior with deadly eyes and a smile that could bury secrets. The moment he saw her, something inside him cracked... or maybe awakened. But Kiara wasn't what she seemed. Behind that soft laugh hid a trap. She didn't just break his heart-she shattered it. And she didn't do it alone. She handed the broken pieces to the one he trusted most. Now, Jungkook isn't heartbroken. He's something else. And just when you think he's the one to fear... The real betrayal comes from the last person you'd ever suspect. Obsession. Betrayal. Revenge. This isn't a love story. It's a warning.
