But with this love, came grave consequences that threatened to tear us both to pieces. He held secrets that had the power to burn through the trust I pieced back together. The burning passion and the forbidden love sparked something between us that even I couldn't comprehend.

Echoes of Shadows by KatherineLvd

Beneath the Shadows - Part 3 Some people say that marriage changes everything-that it tames a man, softens a woman, turns fire into quiet embers. But they didn't know us. Caleb and I had been through too much to let anything turn to ash. If anything, marriage made us stronger, sharper, more dangerous. We weren't just lovers. We were a team. A force of nature. Together, we rebuilt Caleb's empire piece by piece until it became something no one could touch. More powerful than ever. Untouchable. Unshakable. At least, that's what I thought. It had been nearly a year since Caleb slid that emerald ring onto my finger, a promise that felt like a declaration of war against the rest of the world. And even now, with everything we'd achieved, I still carried shadows inside me. The trauma of the past-the betrayal, the pain, Ben-had left scars I couldn't erase. But I'd learned to use them. To let those shadows make me stronger instead of weaker. If there was one thing Caleb taught me, it was how to survive in a world built on blood and lies. And I was thriving. The woman I used to be-the one who doubted herself, who let others decide her worth-was gone. In her place stood someone new. Someone who could stand next to Caleb and not just survive, but rule. But life has a funny way of testing you just when you think you've won. I didn't know it yet, but the peace we'd fought so hard to build was about to crack. And this time, the betrayal wouldn't come from the outside. This time, it was hiding in plain sight.

HIGH ON LOVE// ASHTRAY x OC by cottoncandyglow

"Maybe a relationship is just two young idiots, who don't know a damn thing except the fact that they're willing to figure it out together." Ashtray was educated on two things from an early age. Drugs and Family. When the former is no longer a major part of his life, how will Ash adjust to being a normal 16 year old teen? He grew up hardened. Always had to watch his back, trust nobody and didn't give a damn about what you had to say or do, so long as his family was protected. And he definitely didn't mind cussing dumbasses out for no reason. Mia was more than just a materialistic girl. She's had boys pining over her for years yet none were successful as she had her own problems. With a body builder for a mother and an alcoholic for a father, it made for the perfect recipe of a daughter who's developed an eating disorder at a young age. She grew up with a big heart. Despite this, she masked it with a 'no fucks given' attitude and decided that she may feel weak on the inside, but she will not be weak on the outside. Both had their hearts on lock but what happens when they unnoticeably give each other the one and only keys? --- "No, my nail!" I whined, holding it up. "You just paid for these the other day!" "It's okay Mia," Ash said as he took my hand in his own to examine it. "It's not!" I said. "It hurts and looks tacky, what am I gonna do now?" Was I being dramatic? Yes, I was. Did I care? No, not at all. Ashtray rolled his eyes at me before lifting my finger and placing a gentle kiss upon it. "There," He said. "Is that better?" I blushed under this action before nodding my head. "Much," I said sweetly and kissed him on the cheek. Now we had matching blushes.

All Lies Tell a Truth by yeahnotkayden

(This was story I made years ago and no longer have the inspiration to continue, I am sorry.) My parents weren't exactly the ideal role models in my life. Heck, they were barely in it to begin with. Killed each other with a hand gun, at least that's what's the news papers presented. It was the news of the year. Mother and father stayed true to their vows, until death do they part. Killed each other so they could live somewhere else in peace. Unwilling for their unborn child to see the light of day, and dismissing there 13 year old daughter into the foster care. Quite a story right? It was the talk of everything whilst I suffered in the foster care system. Seeing couples adopt child after child, only to destroy their relationship anyways. A few people were kind, gave you hope for a new life, then tore it away. But I ended up finding some strange things out when I moved to the states.

The Billionaire's Estranged Wife by emmieralddd

I watched him kiss his mistress. There were a lot of things Lorenzo did that broke my heart, but this has crossed the line. His soft touch on her cheeks, his hand snaking her waist, his warm smile, and that look of love in his eyes. Those things he never did to me. But what else can I do? I'm also here in my penthouse with a man pleasuring my night. He would gently touch my body, claim me over and over again, give warmth in this cold night, but I couldn't look at this man with love in my eyes. My husband is in love, but not with me. I want him, but he wants someone else. I watched the divorce papers he sent me. A sinister smile crept to my lips. He wants a happy ending with his mistress? "You're stuck with me, Lorenzo." I watched as the divorce papers burnt to ashes. Like they said, in sickness and in health. For better or... worse.

Beyond The Break by Mypengame

Synopsis _ What I said to him and his hand on my stomach was like stimulator, before I knew it I found myself on the floor. I placed my hand on my abdomen, in an attempt to protect our unborn baby. "Oomph" I groaned at the pain, as my butt hit the floor. Nate stood staring at me, with red eyes. To be precise, my stomach. I used my left hand which I used to prop myself from the fall, after he pushed me in an attempt to assist my right hand in protecting my stomach. It was bone chilling. I was so frightened, i could feel cold sweat on my forehead. "Let go of me you bastard" I said trying to loosen his grip from my hair. He only let go after he pulled me to the coffee table , in a kneeling position. "Now fucking sign it, don't let me completely lose my temper. Or I swear to God, you won't believe what's going to happen to you" My red hair fell loosely on my face, the pain from my scalp was evident to what Nate could do if I resisted. - Everybody seems to crave tales of unlikely love, like the rich boy and poor girl or the rich heir and humble maid. I wish more stories would focus on the authenticity of human experiences rather than make such clichéd storylines. My story is a testament to resilience and perseverance through misfortune. What I've gone through has been nothing but "expect the unexpected." 'My name is Ashley, his ex-wife.' "Can't believe I'm still rolling with the punches" #Forgive#Forgiveness#Pregnancy#PregnantAndAlone#Baby#Betrayal#Billionaire#CEO#Reunionr#Motherhood#Secondchance ******* #BeyondTheBreak #AshleysStory #Forgive #Forgiveness #WattpadCommunity #RomanceDrama #Pregnancy #SingleMother #ReadersOfWattpad

Ashes of the West by NicoleFox673

One moment, I'm tending to the animals. The next, I'm watching smoke pour into the sky as my family burns. Mama and Papa are gone. The fire took everything. And in a place like this-where law is thin and rumors run fast-I know I can't stay. Not when they'll be looking for someone to blame. So I run. Not away from the ashes, but toward the only hope I've got: my brother and sister. Maybe our grandmother took them. She never cared for me much, but she always doted on them. If she has them, I'll find her. I'll bring them home. That's when I see him. Ashton. He's not just handsome-he's trouble. A wanted convict with a past soaked in blood and secrets. I should stay away, but I don't. Because behind that wicked smile is something broken. Something honest. Something I understand. Now the West is burning behind me, danger is ahead, and Ashton's somewhere in the middle of it all. And God help me-I don't think I want to run anymore.

Within darkness by scarszzzz

"Run, all ye weary souls, let not the evil of this dirt burden thy heart but instead strengthen thy soul for the wrath of man cannot kill thou energy, for the soul lives through many body's to come" Her words cut deep into my soul and inspired me. Before he lit the fluid I held my hand to my chest and looked her in the eyes. Her eyes held vast raging oceans of courage and strength of many life times past and many to still occur. My mother once told me the eyes were portals to the soul and now I fully understand what she meant. The soul of the women who's flesh burned before my eyes held such courage and passion. She held rivers of grace and magic that flowed into vast oceans of storms and raging waves that held no mercy. Such beauty and majestic grace flew with black smoke right before my eyes into the clear starry night above. After her body was nothing but ash the people stayed where they were and lingered for a bit chatting and talking as if what had just happened wasn't cruel. She never told me her name but for some reason the name Sia kept repeating over and over in my mind. I guess that will be her name as long as I keep her memory with me.
