Τι τι στον πουτσο; Γιατι χτυπαει τοσο δυνατα η καρδια μου; Άφησα τον γιακά του και αυτός έφτιαξε τα γυαλιά του. "Συ-Συγνώμη δ-δεν το ηθέλα ν-νομιζα οτι ήταν σωστά, δεν είμαι καλός στα μαθηματίκα" "Σε τίποτα δεν είσαι κάλος! Άχρηστε! Μια δουλεια ειχες! Ετσι και μείνω στα μαθηματικα θα σε γαμησω." Εκεινος χαμήλωσε το βλέμμα του και ενα δακρυ κύλισε στο μάγουλο. Κρακ. Τι παθαίνω γαμώ;

When their parents died, the lives of eight sisters were shattered in an instant. Yet while grief bound most of them together, one sister's fate took a different turn. Jhana, the second youngest, was the only one separated from the rest-taken away so young that her memories of family blurred into distant fragments. Her sisters grew up side by side, carrying the weight of loss together, while Jhana walked a lonelier path, raised in a world far removed from the warmth of their bond. Years later, destiny begins to weave their stories back together. But time has changed them-hearts have hardened, secrets have deepened, and the bond of sisterhood they once shared has become fragile. "Walo hanggang dulo?" "Walo hanggang dulo, pangako."

"What did I tell you about behaving yourself in front of my kids?" His voice was a low warning against my ear, but his lips contradicted it-barely brushing my neck, leaving heat wherever they touched. I felt his hand slide up my thigh, the other tilting my chin so I was forced to look at myself in the mirror-flushed, breathless, already gone for him. My senses drowned in him. His size, his grip, his control. If this is what sin feels like, then let it take me whole. ----- Kiko has been best friends with Layla since preschool.

Will she be able to trust them or is she going to leave the second she turns 18? Lost friends reunite, people you only saw as allies become friends and a mysterious someone reappears out of nowhere.

It started with a joke. "How much did you pay for those pants?" I teased. He arched a brow. "Why?" "At my place..." I smiled wickedly. "They're 100% off." That was all it took. His eyes darkened, his voice dropped, and suddenly, words weren't enough anymore. "If you were drugs," I whispered, "I'd overdose." He leaned closer, desperate. "Then take me... until there's nothing left." What began as playful banter spiraled into something darker-lust tangled with obsession, desire sharpened into danger. He wasn't just hungry for me. He wanted to consume me. And I let him. Until I learned that obsession burns hotter than love... and twice as fast.

One minute, Clara was walking home. The next, she was gone. Kidnapped off the street by three strangers-Ezra, Silas, and Lucian-she wakes up in a mansion too perfect to be real. Every room is tailored to her. Every meal, every hobby, every word-they knew everything. And now they expect her to play along in their twisted version of a family. They wanted her. To them, Clara is the missing piece. The daughter they've been waiting for. The one they've been preparing for. Every room is made for her. Every rule is meant to shape her. And every smile hides something sick. Ezra. Calm, calculating, always three steps ahead. No matter how careful Clara is, he sees through her. Every lie. Every escape attempt. Every flicker of rebellion. Silas is distant and cold, but dangerous in his silence. Silas keeps his distance-but when he looks at her, it's like he sees straight through. And Lucian... Lucian's the gentle one.The one who brings her hot chocolate with extra marshmallows and brushes her hair. The one who says this is all for her own good. Lucian is soft-spoken and kind... almost like he wants her to believe this could be real. But it isn't. They don't want her freedom. They want her obedience. Her love. Her role. They call it family. She calls it a nightmare. But if Clara wants to survive, she might have to play along. Even if it means pretending to love her captors. _________________________________________ Author's Note: This is a story I've been wanting to post and now I've finally done it.

The sound of the doorbell being rung distracted Alec from his daily reading. "I'm staying with you." Said a little girl in front of his door, carrying a backpack on her shoulders, looking at his face with expectant eyes. or Alec and Fiore fic spin off. __________________________ Oh no! Summer vacation has begun. For any child who lived in a boarding school, it would be like a miracle. But for the Demon child; Fiore, surprisingly, it isn't. While all the students could see their parents again after a long time, for her having to do that was like a curse. 2, almost 3 years of 0 contact with her stupid and good-for-nothing parents,and although she had already done this before in those two previous years, Fiore just hoped that as always they wouldn't come. She never had someone to spend her summer vacation with before, her parents said they would come for her but they always left her to her fate for some or other cheap excuse so as not to see her. And she was fine with that, only there was one problem. She had enough of having to stay in the care of the Mother Superior every summer, locked up on that campus for two months until the holidays came to an end. She wanted and deserved to have some fun too! But then, she remembered something, or rather, someone. Alec could give her a home until she had to return. It was the perfect plan, she could have fun and still spend time with her true platonic father figure, even if she didn't say it out loud. Goodbye to her stupid parents, hello to Alec! He wouldn't expect a little gremlin to show up in front of his library door, since they didn't have tutoring sessions due to summer break. However, a little company on his break wouldn't hurt, the two of them would be able to spend quality time together as father and daughter. Great, right? It was going to be a very long vacation, also somewhat chaotic and fruitful, the girl would make sure of that. Summer was just beginning!
