Dark Chemistry |18+| (Not Edited) by Leia_LittleBee

"Everything of you is a non-existing dangerous drug, Natalia. And I'm addicted to it." He rasped beside my ear then slowly but seductively brushed his nose on my neck and then my hair like he was smelling my body and my hair. I stopped breathing as I started feeling like I was going to pass out. ❥ If you start loving someone from deep down your heart, you will stop caring about the hurts, miseries, anguishes and traumas that he/she once caused in your life. You'll even be ready to sacrifice your own life for him/her. Love can change your miseries and traumas into peace and happiness, love can change an emotionless monster into a loverboy. If you don't want to love or don't want to be loved then love won't wait for your permission. You won't even realize 'where, when and how' you fell in love. Love can destroy you within a blink, love can bring you happiness and love can even kill you with no mercy. ✧⁠*(⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)✧⁠*⁠。 Natalia Rauf, a simple Bangladeshi girl, was living a peaceful life filled with family warmth, laughter, and the carefree joys of school and friendship. But all of that changed one night like a nightmare. The pull of the forbidden was irresistible, especially for an eighteen-year-old like her, craving excitement with her best friends. They sneaked into an infamous club to discover its secrecy and have fun. Tucked away from the usual haunts, the place thrummed with an eerie allure, promising both thrill and peril in equal measure. They enjoyed, really enjoyed. Unbeknownst to her, a predator's eyes followed her every move from the VIP balcony, lurking in the shadows. What began as a harmless night out would soon spiral into a deadly game of cat and mouse, forcing her to confront the terror of being hunted by a man with no mercy.
