─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
Cora Emerson's boyfriend, Harry Styles, is dead.
She had their whole future planned out - but instead, she's visiting his grave, tracing the day everything fell apart.
They say Harry took his own life.
But the truth is, Cora can't remember what really happened that night. And the pieces that are coming back... don't feel like hers.
Elmswood, Georgia is the kind of town where grief lingers. Where shadows whisper. Where forgetting feels easier than facing what's real.
But when memories resurface - and strange things begin to follow her - Cora starts to wonder if she had more to do with Harry's death than anyone knows.
Because this story was never about losing him.
It's about what it takes to live with yourself when the truth finally comes to light.

I Want You (H.S Vampire)
* Book 3 * "That is exactly why you cannot leave. We have to stop them before they hurt anybody else." She paused to take a breath. "Or before they hurt you." She continued. I half smiled as I took a step towards her, taking her hands into my own. Her focus never left me as she, like me, feared the worst. "They're after you, Ellie. This is my battle. I'll handle it." I stated before walking past her. I didn't want to risk her, and as much as I wanted her help and for her to be by my side, I couldn't be selfish and put her at risk. "Harry," she said, making me turn in front of the door. "I love you. And if holding onto that means fighting the bad guys who want to take that from us, bring it on." I smiled, fighting the urge inside me to fight against her on this. "Even if that means you'll be fighting against me?" I asked, making her stop and give me a look. I'd seen it before when she was trying to get me to act seriously when we were being silly. But not one of these was a laughing matter. "You can never hurt me." "I'm trying to protect you from me." *** The third book in the series follows on from 'I Need You'. Ellie, who experiences the tragic death of her beloved, Harry Styles, grieves, not aware of the danger that looms, as a powerful force disrupts their group dynamics in an attempt to get what they want.

In the afterlife, Harry struggles with his own death and uncovers unsettling truths about Ellie's future, as his past torments him.

His Dark Claim
"Why can't you let me go?" Her timid voice echoed through the walls of his heart and he heaved a deep sigh. He couldn't. How could he? She was the air he breathed. Blood in his veins. It was so simple and yet he couldn't make her understand. How did their relationship end up like this? He loved her and she loved him, didn't she? Then why? "I cannot do so, Dolcezza. I'll go crazy without you, you cannot leave me, I won't allow you to." And she shook her head, a laugh-filled with disbelief escaping her lips as she struggled to unbind herself from the chains. "Then at least free me of them." "No." A love so vicious it binds. A madness so deep it consumes. Escape is an illusion, and freedom... a cruel dream. For in his arms lies ruin... and in hers, salvation. ***** Celestine didn't know what love was until she crossed paths with her childhood crush, the stories of their childhood took them to their past and they started spending time with each other.

Heist [ H.S ]
"Let me guess," he says, eyes gleaming. "You read somewhere that if you humanize your captor, he starts to feel sympathy. Stockholm Syndrome in reverse. Touché." I try not to flinch as he stops directly in front of me.My breath catches, but I don't look away. He grins darkly. "Silly rabbit," he murmurs. "Tricks are for me." *** She came to London to chase the story of a lifetime. He was the story all along. When journalist Penelope Reese begins investigating a string of stolen artifacts tied to a shadowy criminal syndicate known only as The Umbra, she expects danger. What she doesn't expect is to lose herself inside it. At Lethewood Manor, time warps. Morality bends. And the girl who once hunted monsters begins to wonder if she was always fated to become one. Harry Styles is more than the Umbra's ruthless leader he's a mind sharpened into a weapon, a genius who swore nothing human could ever touch him. Cold, calculating, untouchable. Until her. She's the only distraction he's ever allowed. The crack in his control. The voice he swore he didn't need, yet can't silence. To him, she's leverage, temptation, inevitability. To her, he's both a nightmare she can't escape and the one tether that might keep her alive. As Penelope unravels the secrets behind their operations-paintings lost to history, jewels worth empires, power hidden in plain sight. She begins unraveling something far more dangerous: the man who took her... and the truth about herself. But they are both bound by something neither can name-an obsession threaded by fate itself. Because some stories aren't just reported. Some stories are inevitable.

Enter a world of sin, opulence and crime. ***** It started and ended with the wind. She was a hurricane. A monstrous storm that could not be controlled. So still and small to look at from the outside, but a raging tempest within. The storm was destruction itself but she would be its only casualty. She blew into his life like a gale. Roared and screamed through every part of his existance. Made him question everything he thought he knew about himself. She turned his world on its head. But the thing about wind is that, eventually, it always blows itself out. Even the most catastrophic storms eventually subside and all that you can do in the aftermath is try and pick up the pieces left behind.

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall.

His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine."
