Becker used to be madly in love with his girlfriend, Julie. Until one night lands him in the hospital...by her hand.
  
  Since the first few signs, he knew the relationship was turning toxic before she even turned her hand against him.
  
  Behind her back, and in an attempt to get some relief, he meets Isabella. He's timid of her intentions at first but soon realizes she could be his ticket out when they quickly befriend each other at first meet.
  
  Now, Becker has to make a decision that could mean life or death. Will he be able to move on with Isabella? Or will Julie have the last stand?
  
  
  
  WARNING: This story deals with domestic abuse from the reverse perspective and is also rated mature for the abuse depicted. If triggered by such events, even abuse in general, I apologize. I have no intentions of romanticizing any form of abuse at all. I just simply want to write a story.

Note: I am revising this story and fleshing it out more. The original will still be here. But the revised version will a new work rather than just being revised and added into this version.

Reignite by ashleymgroff
42 parts Complete Mature
Dani Trauma has a way of reshaping you. I lost pieces of myself I wasn't sure I could ever get back - the bright spark of who I once was replaced by a duller version that only knew how to survive. Trust felt like a distant memory, and life, instead of something to be lived, became something to endure. But then, against all odds, I found myself falling for my boss - literally. Beneath his grumpy exterior was a man I couldn't quite figure out, and slowly, the embers of my spirit began to reignite. Just as I thought I could finally begin living again, my past resurfaced, threatening to tear apart everything I had worked so hard to rebuild. Now, I stand at a crossroads. Will I finally grasp the chance for a happily-ever-after, or will the flames of my past consume me once more? Dean In a world steeped in high expectations and cloaked in distrust, I rose to become a highly successful CEO. Through the years, I quickly learned that most interactions were transactional, often driven by a need for something from me. When I dared to embrace love, it was a revelation wrapped in a painful lesson: love exposes you to vulnerability, making you susceptible to manipulation. That was precisely the fate I encountered, leading me to vow never to find myself in that position again. Years later, fate thrusts me into a similar predicament. My new assistant stumbled into my life - and into my heart - when I least expected it. She was hiding just as much as I was, but with every conversation, every smile, every spark of her defiant spirit, she dismantled the walls I'd spent years building around myself. Now, I stand at another crossroads. Do I risk everything I've tirelessly worked for, betting on the possibility of a happily-ever-after? Or do I retreat, knowing all too well the pain that can follow love's gamble?

"What's going on?" "Nothing. Please just keep jogging or something." "What're you hiding, Kelsey?" Her eyes searched mine, then very slowly she gave in. "Um...if I tell you...can you promise that you won't be angry? And that you won't freak out and punch the poor guy?" "Why would I...are you cheating on Jason?" "What?" "Is that guy the person you're cheating on Jason with?" I demanded angrily. "He has been nothing but good to you, Kelsey, how could you just cheat on him? He's a good guy!" "No! Ryder, that's not what this is!" For whatever reason, I believed her. "Fine," I said eventually. "I swear not to punch the guy if you tell me what's going on." "Um...it'd be kind of easier to show you than to tell you." I walked with Kelsey around the bench, and the guy stood up, looking down at me with very familiar eyes. Corey. I was looking up at Corey. Sorry Kelsey. And then I punched him. Book two, following A Bad Boy's Worst Nightmare. It's been almost a year since Corey left, leaving Ryder completely broken and alone. Now, he appears to be back once she sees him in the park. But when she's made to understand that the boy is in fact Corey's twin brother, she allows herself to let her guard down a little. But could trusting the brother of the boy that destroyed her heart really be the best idea? Or would he be just like his brother--the complete and total destruction of everything decent in Ryder's life?
