There, is a pile of sheets, seeming so insignificant and delicate on the table two meters away. Yet, something pulls you towards it, and soon you see it right in front of your eyes. Words printed neatly on the first page atop the small pile, and something about it has your eyes drifting across each line. Subconsciously, you lift the single sheet and begin on the next. You delve deeper into the story, and too soon it ends. But there is the next one, the first words the beginning of a new story and a new adventure. You know its not worth your time, yet your body disagrees and soon you admit to the urge. The Short Passages have casted an unbreakable enchantment, and without knowing, you continue to walk onto the most thrilling rollercoaster ride.

𝐀 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐓 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐈𝐑𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐃'𝐒 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑. Book 1 in "Dark Fate" series. "They say you can't choose who you fall in love with, and he couldn't agree more. His sister's best friend had captured his heart, and he was consumed by his obsession for her and now, he knows he would never be able to let her go because she belongs with him." • ✧ • There's a kind of love that feels like sunlight - warm, gentle, safe. And then... there's his. It's not cruel. It's not loud. It's something far more dangerous - quiet, calculated, all-consuming. He was my best friend's brother. The man I was never supposed to notice. He watched from the shadows, memorizing me without ever needing a single word. I never really knew his name... but he knew everything about me. My fears. My patterns. My dreams. Even the parts I hadn't yet discovered myself. He's always been there, just a step behind-waiting, watching, wanting. And now, he's no longer waiting. He calls it love. I don't know what to call it, only that it pulls me in like gravity - unavoidable, inescapable. There's safety in his arms, yet danger in his silence. Gentleness in his touch, yet fire in his gaze. And somewhere in the tension between fear and longing, I find myself unraveling. Because the scariest part of being wanted like this... Is realizing you might want them back.

The Way She Looked at Him

18 parts Ongoing Mature

It started with a look. It won't end with one. She never meant to notice him - not like that. But once she did, she couldn't stop. A quiet woman begins to orbit a stranger, her fascination growing with every accidental meeting, every shared glance. To her, it feels like love - gentle, fated, inevitable. Yet the more she looks, the less she truly sees him. What begins as longing slowly bends into something else: fixation, control, the illusion of connection. The Way She Looked at Him starts as a tender, introspective love story and deepens into a study of obsession - how easily affection can become delusion, and how dangerous it is to mistake noticing for knowing.
