Anxiety Stories

𝐆𝐈𝐔𝐋𝐈𝐀 𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐎, a young girl who's never known stability. Raised by a reckless, unstable mother, she spent her childhood caught between drug runs and police raids, ruining her right for a normal childhood. One night when her mother goes missing, Giulia's whole life changes... again. Will being under the guardianship of her new older brothers give her a chance at normalcy in her life or will they cause even more mess than before? Healing isn't easy and trust doesn't come free. ☆ ☆ ☆ As I lied there in the hospital bed with a pounding headache, practically suffocating me while barely conscious, I heard that familiar, raspy, deep, sleep deprived voice that I've recently come to find comfort in. "Nessuno oserà toccarti di nuovo senza perdere le mani, amore," they whispered. (No one will dare touch you again without losing their hands, love.) I felt two hands hold my face with a soft kiss on my forehead. Their rough and large hands a contrast to their gentleness. The comforter over me shuffled as the familiar person brought them up to my chin and tucked me in. "Riposati ora sei al sicuro, bambina," they murmured, stroking my hair. Before I knew it, simply the presence of them reassured me as I felt myself drift off again into a deep sleep. (Rest now, you're safe, baby). ☆ ☆ ☆ 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄 (noun): a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream.

At fifteen... she was light. Niharika Rathore was the kind of girl who made rooms softer just by entering them. A sunshine soul wrapped in innocence. She laughed too easily, trusted too quickly, and loved her mother more than anything in the world. Her eyes-almond-shaped, deep, observant-held warmth. Her smile could melt silence. Chubby cheeks like cotton candy... a face everyone remembered. But some stories don't stay soft. Because in one night... everything changed. The man her mother trusted... the man who was supposed to become her stepfather... became the reason her world cracked open. Nothing loud. Nothing spoken. Just a line crossed that should have never been crossed. And after that night... Niharika was never the same. --- At seventeen... she is still alive. But the sunshine is gone. Her smile doesn't reach her eyes anymore. Her gaze avoids people, like the world itself became unsafe. Quiet. Careful. Guarded. She no longer trusts light. She only trusts shadows. Then fate turns again. Her mother slips into a coma. And suddenly... there is no place left for her. A maternal grandfather she barely knows sends her away-far from everything she called home. But before she can leave... another truth arrives like a storm. A father she never truly knew. A name whispered in fear. A mafia king. And he wants her back. Not as a guest. Not as a choice. As his daughter. --- But Niharika has already learned one thing the hard way: Men break things. Even the ones who are supposed to protect you. Now she is taken into a world she never imagined- A house filled with power... silence... and eight brothers who see her as an outsider. No women. No softness. No familiarity. Only rules. Distance. Watchful eyes. And a girl who is terrified of men... being forced to live surrounded by them.

A powerful, successful figure in the kink community, he owns an empire of clubs and businesses, and carries a reputation as a dominant, no-nonsense man who always gets what he wants.

But something about Arlo draws him in-and Calix is not the type to let go of something that catches his interest. Is the Wolf's den truly a place of danger... or could it become a sanctuary for someone who only wants to disappear? After all, what's a little mouse to do when he finds unexpected safety in the arms of a wolf?

« Je vous préviens : je ne gère pas bien les interactions sociales. Je m'appelle Hortense et j'ai un gros souci. On m'a forcée à participer à un concours d'art à Paris (très mauvaise idée) alors que mon talent principal, c'est de faire semblant de ne pas exister dans les lieux publics. Mais apparemment "faire semblant de ne pas exister" n'est pas une option pour entrer aux Beaux Arts. Deux choix s'offrent à moi : Plan A : trouver quelqu'un d'autre pour y aller à ma place. Plan B : trouver un moyen de survivre à quinze minutes d'oral. Et allez savoir comment et pourquoi, Amaury, le garçon le plus extraverti, bruyant et socialement inquiétant que je connaisse, est devenu mon coach en "vie humaine normale". Son programme consiste littéralement à m'humilier publiquement pour mon "développement personnel" (discutable). Je crois qu'il détruit ma vie. Ou alors il est en train de l'améliorer. Franchement, je ne sais pas ce qui est le plus terrifiant. Et le pire dans tout ça... C'est que je commence à apprécier sa présence. » (Ceci est mon premier jet, si des erreurs ou des incohérences sont présentes, j'accepterai volontiers les conseils et les remarques qui sont teintées d'indulgence).

Nyla Smith and James White used to be inseparable. Until one stupid fight changed everything. They lost contact, went their separate ways, and eventually became nothing more than a memory to each other. Years later, they meet again. Only this time, they're older, different, and definitely not the same two kids they used to be. Nyla has no intention of letting James back into her life. James doesn't plan on making it easy for her. But somewhere between the arguments, the teasing, and being forced into each other's lives again, something starts to change. Something neither of them expected. Something neither of them wants to admit. Because falling for the person you once couldn't stand was never part of the plan. And Nyla absolutely refuses to fall for Aunty Rachel's baby brother.
