Angst Stories

Everyone at school knows Andrew Jennings. Missing an arm. Openly gay. But when he meets star athlete Ryan Sullivan in therapy, can friendship lead to more? ***** When Andrew 'Jacky' Jennings ends up in therapy after an English assignment gone wrong, he doesn't expect to find his high school's star athlete, Ryan Sullivan, sitting in the same waiting room. After all, he and Ryan couldn't be more different: football captain, future valedictorian, and all-around nice guy, Ryan is the school's golden boy, while Andrew is known for his permanent snarl, being openly gay, and losing his left arm (along with his father and sister) in a car accident. But when Andrew learns they actually have a lot in common, he's surprised to see past the enigma that is Ryan Sullivan and his seemingly perfect life. And as the two boys begin to connect over their shared grief, depression, and teenage angst, they might just discover a little pocket of happiness for themselves -- if they're willing to fight for it.

Forced to marry the man who hates her. Dying from a disease she won't tell him about. Still hopelessly in love with him anyway. Luna Hartley has three months left. She plans to spend every single one of them loving Ethan Sinclair from a distance - the only way he's ever allowed her to. But Ethan is starting to notice things. Small things. Things that don't add up. And the truth - when it finally comes - will destroy everything. Including him.

He confessed with trembling hands. He was rejected with words that still echoed years later. No explanation. No closure. Just silence. Time moved on. They didn't. Now fate forces them to stand under the same roof again- pretending nothing ever happened. But some loves don't fade. They rot quietly. And when a single misunderstanding makes everything look unforgivable... How do you fight for someone who thinks you already belong to someone else?

Elara Scott believed love was something you built, steady, patient, earned. After a childhood defined by chaos, Jonah Sterling's calm attention feels like oxygen: the quiet check-ins, the small touches, the safety of being wanted. But Jonah, heir to an old money East Coast dynasty and CEO of a powerful tech and security empire, only ever loved one woman. Sofia is the ghost his family still worships, the future he never stopped craving. When the board demands a "settled" image, Jonah chooses Elara not with devotion, but with convenience. In the Sterling world, Elara is an outsider in every room, enduring polished cruelty, public humiliation, and a husband who watches in silence. Even when an unexpected pregnancy gives them a daughter, Isla, Elara remains the wife who was never truly chosen. When Sofia returns and Jonah's attention begins to slip, first from Elara, then from Isla, Elara makes a decision that shatters the perfect façade: she leaves. But divorce doesn't erase Jonah's past. It exposes it, and forces Jonah to face the damage he allowed, the family that enabled it, and the woman who learned to live without him. A devastating, angst-filled story of second choice love, quiet cruelty, and a father fighting to repair the bond he nearly destroyed, after it's too late to save the marriage.

They were supposed to be forever - until he shattered everything with a single decision. Delilah and Aiden spent three years building a love that felt unshakable. But when Aiden suddenly announces he no longer believes in marriage, Delilah walks away - heartbroken and pregnant. Aiden isn't ready to let go. As he fights to win her back, old wounds reopen, lies unravel, and family ties twist into threats. Can love survive when trust is gone? Or is their bond already broken beyond repair?

He executed her once. Now Elara has returned three years before her death - forced back into the empire that betrayed her, and engaged once again to the emperor who signed her execution. This time, she swears: Never trust Kael Varethis. Never fall for him again. But the man who once watched her die is no longer the same. Kael remembers. The ruthless emperor now shadows her every step, destroys anyone who threatens her, and looks at her like losing her once already ruined him. Elara came back to survive. She didn't expect an emperor obsessed with keeping her alive. But in a palace filled with secrets, prophecy, and bloodstained fate... the most dangerous thing she can do is love the man who killed her.
