Wicked Little Words by Whispered_Words2310
43 parts Complete Mature
They promised it was just fun. No strings. No feelings. So why does it feel like everything? At twenty-two, Sloane doesn't have room in her life for heartbreak. Between nursing school, long CNA shifts, and raising her daughter, she barely has time to breathe-let alone fall for someone. So when Braden, a friends boyfriends cocky, charming best friend, makes it clear he's only in it for fun, Sloane agrees. It's safe. Easy. Exactly what she needs. Until it isn't. Because somewhere between the stolen looks, mind-blowing sex and late-night banter, Sloane starts to want more. And without realizing it, so does Braden. But Braden has ghosts that won't stay buried. And when the girl he once claimed to love whispers a lie that cuts too deep, he doesn't just believe it-he uses it to break Sloane in the cruelest way. By the time the truth comes out, Sloane's heart is in ruins, and Braden's the one left bleeding. He never meant to fall for her. He never meant to lose her, either. Now he's ready to fight for the only woman he's ever really loved. But some promises can't be undone. And Sloane might be the one thing Braden can't win back.

ROSE in the SHADOWS by Raimah22
25 parts Ongoing Mature
They said she was worthless. They said she was disposable. They tried to sell her like an object, to erase her existence from the world. Amara was twenty-four, a sharp-tongued lawyer with fire in her veins and scars that ran deeper than anyone could see. Betrayed by the only people who were supposed to love her, she stepped into a world where power was law, and every smile hid a blade. He was Zayden - ruthless, untouchable, the heir of a dark empire built on fear, blood, and control. His honey-brown eyes saw through lies, his hands could destroy worlds... yet something about her made him hesitate. Something about her defiance, her fire, her beauty... Rose. His parents wanted her used, manipulated, discarded. Her adoptive family had already tried. And he was supposed to obey. But Zayden doesn't obey anyone. Not even himself. In a mansion of secrets, danger, and whispered lies, their worlds collide. Sparks ignite, rules are broken, and the line between love and obsession blurs. In the shadows of power and deceit, can a fiery lawyer tame the darkness of a mafia king... or will the fire consume them both? Dark. Twisted. Addictive. This is a story of forbidden love, slow-burning desire, and a passion that refuses to be tamed.
Default Title - LOVE SO CRUEL by jesleng123
49 parts Complete Mature
Love So Cruel She never asked for his love. He never gave her a choice. When Amara crossed paths with Kai, she thought she had met a man carved from shadows-dangerous, merciless, and untouchably cold. But beneath his ruthless exterior was an obsession that bound her to him tighter than chains. What began as fear twisted into something darker-something she couldn't escape. He wanted her in every way, wanted to own her, even if it meant breaking her apart. And the cruelest part of all... was how much her heart still ached for him. In a world where love feels like punishment and desire cuts deeper than knives, Amara must decide: surrender to the darkness that claims her, or fight for the fragile light still flickering inside. A tale of passion, obsession, and a love so cruel it hurts.

And in the end... he may have walked away, but she's the one who survived. Trigger Warning: This story dives deep into grief, heartbreak, and the raw, unfiltered emotions that come with loss. Because healing is never a straight line.
