shuntaro chishiya x oc The last King had ruled through paranoia, through the kind of weak-willed fear that saw threats in allies and let power slip through trembling fingers. The noise swelled, folding in on itself, growing larger than the sum of its parts. It was no longer sound; it was weight, crushing down on me, sinking into the marrow of my bones, pressing into hollow spaces of my mind. It tangled with my thoughts, wrapped around them like a vice until I couldn't tell where the shouting stopped and where my mind began. Some were composed, faces and expressions unreadable. I recognized it for what it was. Panic didn't always look like screaming, sometimes it was just the way someone swallowed hard, as if trying to keep it down. The wall bore the marks of time, not in cracks or stains, but in etchings of survival - a tally of days carved with a dagger. At first, I had carved them close together, expecting to leave before the space ran out. But as the marks stretched, as the numbers climbed, the gaps between each tally mark grew wider, as if denial could be traced in spacing, as if putting more distance between each stroke would make it less real. I ran my fingers over the final mark, the last one I was allowed. I focused on the way the air felt when no one else was breathing it. The visa was not an empty threat, nor an arbitrary limit designed to keep me playing - it was a fuse reminder that time did not stop simply because I had. I wondered why I wasn't so scared, but when you realize you're being controlled by fear, things stop being so scary.

Lies destroy people. And some people? They'd lie through their teeth just to get what they want. To ruin others. To hide their own sins. To pull you down so they're not falling alone. These eleven teenagers-they had it all. The kind of perfect life everyone else could only dream of. People saw them as flawless, untouchable, like they'd never made a single mistake. But behind those perfect lives? There were whispers. People who secretly despised them, who'd do anything to see them fall. And that hatred-it grew. It twisted. Until one day, their jealousy turned deadly. Because sometimes, envy doesn't just break you. It kills. Date Started: May 18, 2024 Date Ended:

♙♘♗♖♕♔ ♟♞♝♜♛♚ Enter Tyra Welsch. The twenty three year-old secretary to the billion dollar making company, Ackerman Co. With her hourglass figure, hazel eyes, flawless skin, plump lips, who would've thought she'd never had a boyfriend once in her whole entire life? Not only is she "blessed" on the beauty department, she's also "blessed" on the brains department; she's a woman with beauty and the brains, so to speak. Speaking of brains, she has been the undefeated champion in a lot of chess competitions worldwide. Tyra kills every negative thing in her life with kindness except for her boss, who infuriates her in ways she could never perceive. In simpler words, she resents him. Who is her boss, you ask? The answer to that would be Silas Ackerman. The twenty five year-old CEO of Ackerman Co. The moment he steps inside a room, every woman swoons over him, staring at him in adoration whilst every man looks at him in envy. He's got women near him, left and right, here and there. With his jawline chiseled by the gods, perfectly shaven facial hair, intimidating grey-blue eyes and broad build, who wouldn't be? Ah yes, Tyra Welsch. One year, one agreement, an infinite amount of moves on a chess board, one great humiliation, endless bickering, and countless toss and turns later, a spark between the two is made. I believe there is a quote that states "the more you hate, the more you love". Will Tyra be able to accept her fall for Silas? As well as Silas to Tyra? Hold on tight, because this story is about to get interesting. © Leigh All rights reserved.
