Shards of Frost oleh Prateekknowsbest

In a world where love is arranged and emotions are buried beneath layers of expectations, Federico, a cold and ruthless man, finds himself tied to a woman he doesn't care about. She's quiet, obedient, and everything he's not looking for. But as the days pass, something changes. His indifference slowly turns into something he can't ignore, and he begins to wonder if he might care more than he thought. When secrets and betrayal test their fragile bond, will they both remain indifferent, or will love force them to confront their feelings? This is a story of walls built, walls broken, and the power of love that cannot be denied.

Pretend ~ wlw oleh Chvroere

What happens when the monster in the house is your new stepsister? Liv Brooklyn's life fractures the moment her mother says yes to a man she barely knows. Nineteen years of familiarity are erased for a stranger, a new city, and a house that never feels safe. The man is almost a stranger. His children are worse. Liv learns quickly that this isn't a fresh start-it's a quiet trap. Torrey Newton is the worst of it. Twenty years old. Cold-blooded. A sadist behind perfect composure. Torrey doesn't raise her voice, doesn't need to. She breaks people slowly, deliberately. She has everything-money, influence, fear-everything except the one thing that still owns her thoughts: the girl who walked away and left her hollow. Maddy Longing. Her name alone is poison. Beautiful in a way that ruins lives. The kind of woman people warn you about after it's too late. To some, she's the cruelest human alive. To others, the most devastating lover they've ever touched. She leaves marks no one can see and scars no one admits to. And somehow, she never really leaves. When Liv meets her, she doesn't recognize the danger-only the pull. Torrey does. Now Liv is living in Torrey's house, breathing her air, and reaching for what was never meant to be hers. Desire turns into rivalry. Rivalry turns into obsession. And Maddy-always at the center-keeps dragging them back into the same dark orbit. Bound by a family they didn't choose and a woman who ruins them both, Liv and Torrey spiral-hurting each other, wanting the same thing, and finding that no matter how far they run, they always circle back. Some loves don't save you. They destroy you slowly-and enjoy it.

Taken Captive oleh RTEUYTAT

I wrote this when I was 16 give me a break. TAKEN SERIES: BOOK ONE TW: kidnapping, manipulation, toxic/abusive relationship, violence, death, grief, self-harm, suicidal thoughts/attempts, sexual assault, non-consensual sexual content, alcoholism, stockholm syndrome, switching partners, etc. Do not read this story if you get triggered easily. If you decide to continue, that's your own choice. This story will portray a BDSM relationship, NOT counting the toxicity and genuine abuse that goes on throughout it. Do not comment anything unnecessarily judgmental, especially if you don't know what you're talking about. Thank you, enjoy. - - - - - "Don't ever do something like that again, or I will kill you, understood? "Yes, sir." - - - - - After being continuously hurt, left alone, heart broken and losing the one thing that kept her going, Nia Seymour turns to a new job that will show her how to let loose, live her life and make her happy again.

She's his. He feeds off of the tears she cries, loves the pain all over her face when he hurts her over and over again, whether it's purposefully or not. As time passes and feelings evolve, soon enough the tears falling out of her eyes no longer give him pleasure, only pain and all he wants is for her to be happy, as long as she's with him. • • • The universe is sending challenge after challenge to these two individuals who want nothing but each other. Will they get past these secrets, lies, toxicity and pain? Or will one of them give up? - - - - -

Freedom from Within oleh tazmanianpanda

This is my first attempt at writing a longer story. Here are few things about this novelette: - A novelette stands between a short story and a novella (7, 500- 17,500 words). - This story is not edited, so expect mistakes. - The story has explicit and mature contents. - As part of my "trademark," the story deals with love and loss. Expect drama! - The story is written in a nonlinear way. - I almost forgot; this is a lesbian story. If in any way you find it disgusting, you're free to bounce, yo! (In Jesse Pinkman's voice) - This is fiction. Question me and I will put you in here just to kill you, Game of Thrones style. Lol - © ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Let's just support each other. Peace out! How does one make music using broken strings? Discover the powers and dangers of love in this mixture of clichés, realities, and fiction about love, loss, pain, depression, and survival. I have lived in a dark cage. I have torn every page. I have not known light; I think I lost my flight. Please come and rescue me; Whoever hears me! Help liberate this heart And show me love they call art.

Everything Hurts oleh analiciapaloma

I knew what was coming later tonight, not only at home, but on the way there. I knew that reacting right now would just make it worse though. So I kept quiet and pretended that I was not dreading when I would be alone with the man that stood beside me, wondering when it became so normal to do so. Jason and Alicia have the perfect relationship from the outside looking in, but Alicia has kept her wounded spirit and body hidden well. After another one of Jason's violent rages that is impossible to hide, Alicia is finally able to get away from the abuse though. In the process of healing, she begins to relearn what trust, compassion, and safety are once again - that is, until Jason discovers her whereabouts.
