Life was normal for Stanley Shrew, disappointing and uneventful. He even had his Mother making her lamb stew for tea that night.
Then he stumbled across the story. The big story. The story that could change his life for the better.
All he had to do was sit in the same room as a lunatic girl and interview her.
Easy?
Not when she gives up half way through and leaves him to investigate on his own. Leaves him to wonder why such a big story was covered up.
He digs too deep, and she doesn't like it.
Who doesn't like it?
Spoooooileerrrrrrrs!!

The Wolfe clause
You just landed a new job at a high-powered firm downtown-fresh start, clean slate, no distractions. That is, until you bump into him at the café next to your office. Tall. Sharp suit. Same smug smirk that used to drive you insane back in college-in every way. You almost don't recognize him. But when you do? Your stomach drops. He's him. Your biggest rival in university. The guy who challenged you in every lecture hall, stole your spotlight, and-somehow-your heart. You had a secret fling that burned hotter than it had any right to... until it ended in the cruelest way possible. Graduation day. You were ready to confess everything. But instead, you watched him propose to someone else in front of the whole class. You never forgave him. Thought he played you. Lied to you. Broke you. But what you don't know is: he thought you betrayed him too. You were both fed lies. Manipulated. Torn apart. And now? Fate has a sick sense of humor. Because the man you hate-the one who shattered you-is your new boss. He doesn't recognize you at first. But when he does, the tension crackles instantly. He's richer. Colder. Even more infuriating. You swear you're over it... until his eyes linger too long. Until his voice drops when he says your name. Until late nights at the office become dangerous games of "just one more argument." You're not here for drama. You're here to win. But maybe... winning means letting him lose control first.Complete

Her Last Hope
Her POV: He was heartless, ruthless, cruel, calculating... there was not even one ounce of humanity in him-no trace of empathy or mercy, no place for love or kindness in his heart. He ruined me, humiliated me, crushed me... But he was powerful, strong, terrifying... no one dared to cross him or stand in his way. And so, I was left alone to bear the consequences of things I hadn't done. I promised I would avenge my dignity and my hard work, one way or another... But fate had other plans. He claimed that he loved me, but his actions revealed his true colors. And I- I never thought I was capable of hating someone so deeply, but I hated him with everything I had left in me. His POV: I was the king of the world-the most powerful man you'd ever meet. Cold and merciless, no one dared stand against me. Everyone sought my approval. They feared my wrath and worshipped my name. Everyone... except her. She was the woman who made my heart beat for the first time. The woman who looked past my power and saw the man beneath it. The only one who wanted nothing from me, while I wanted everything from her. But I couldn't blame her for despising me. Not after everything I had done. For the first time in my life, I was wrong. And I only realized it when it was too late. Still, I vowed-if she ever came back into my life, I would never let her go again. I never imagined I could love someone that much... but I loved her with everything I had.Complete![𝐔𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞 [𝟏𝟖+]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/366735281-256-k845863.jpg)
𝐔𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞 [𝟏𝟖+]
"𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫." [Slow update] They say love feels like sunlight after winter. But no one warns you - sometimes, it burns. Sometimes, it scars. I never asked for obsession, for manipulation, or for love that feels like poison. He came like wildfire - raw, relentless, unapologetic. My first. My beautiful mistake. He was dangerous in the most beautiful way. Gentle with me, brutal with the world. Every moment with him was comfort laced with chaos. His love? Honey laced with venom - sweet, addicting, and lethal. He didn't cross lines. He erased them. In his madness, I mistook devotion. In cruelty, I saw protection. How do you run from someone who'd bleed to keep you breathing? He saw the cracks no one else noticed. Whispered promises in the dark. And a part of me clung to them. In his arms, the world ceased to exist. But the next storm didn't come with fire. It came in silence. He arrived like a shadow - watching, waiting, suffocating. He didn't touch me - not yet. But I felt him, like smoke in my lungs. He studied me. Then he moved. And when he did, everything changed. He didn't want to love me. He wanted to rewrite me. His silence screamed louder than words. He wanted me to destroy myself for him. Now, I'm torn between two kinds of insanity: One who would ruin the world to protect me. Another who would ruin me to make me his world. And I can't tell the difference anymore. They circle me like wolves, each calling it love. But love was never meant to feel like this. Was it? I used to believe love was a gift. Now I know - it's a gamble. A bloody one. And in this game of obsession and betrayal, I'm no longer sure who the real villain is. Because when both players would kill you for love... What does that make you?
Hate War
His cold eyes moved from my face to all over my white lace dress with a clenched jaw. I felt weak in my knees but I was successful in keeping my brave face. "Nina is that you? You are looking so beautiful" he said while looking at me. I blushed I was still feeling burning holes in my back I gulp down nervously. "Have some drink?" he said while taking a glass from the waiter. "No she is leaving," said the harsh voice next thing I know champagne was all over my dress staining it and making me gasp. Before I could react he gripped my hand & dragged me near the pool area where no one could see us. I snatched my hand away from his tight grip "Why the hell you ruined my dress" I half yelled. "What the fuck you are doing at my party looking like a slut" he yelled angrily while pinning me to the wall. Listening to his words my blood boiled. "Let me guess you came here to ruin my mood by showing your ugly face," he said with an angry smirk letting me know his hate. "Stop giving yourself so much importance. I'm here for your mom. My face may be ugly but ugly souls like you are not even worthy of my life's single second" I said angrily and pushed him away from me but he didn't let me go away. "I can hide my ugly soul beside this face but ugly ducklings like you carry their ugliness which can't even be hidden by beautiful dresses because they stain everything around them with their ugliness" his words were hurting my soul. I won't give him the privilege to see my tears. With all my power I pushed him making him stumble and fall into the pool. "Happy birthday," saying that I tried to walk away with a victory smirk but he didn't let me go. Things he did to me after that still send a shiver down my spine. One thing was clear that day I would never want to see his face again in this life. But I don't know why the hell I am standing in front of him in church wearing a wedding gown. Looking at his victory angry smirk plastered to his face with my glassy eyes.Complete

All the Years Between Us
I never planned on seeing my high school crush years after I graduated. Not in that coffee shop, and definitely not in the middle of that one hot summer. I was just making my way through getting used to the area, and he? He made it impossible to want to want me to leave that little town. He never knew I liked him back then, and it wasn't until he started dating an employee that things started to get intense. The sneaking around started to happen, and I wasn't fond of it. It was wrong... but that's when weird things started happening around the office. Threats, emails gone missing... this was becoming serious, and was it all worth it over a one night stand?Complete
