Rules Stories

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.

Big Credits To Gwy Saludes for Making me Believe that everything was Possible as long as your Passionate! this story was inspired by the University Series! Specifically Safe Skies, Archer!! Language: Taglish Expected Characters: Priscilla Anielle Cortez Vito Arkenne De Alegre Kel Archer De Alegre Danica Danielle Concepcion Jarvis Enrile Ray Dela Cruz Michele De Alegre They started with rules to keep their hearts safe-until every line was crossed. Vito Arkenne De Alegre and Priscilla Anielle Cortez met by chance, then agreed to a no-strings arrangement bound by 8 strict rules: no feelings, no secrets about their lives, no attachments. But as time passed, walls crumbled. They shared scars, pasts, and truths-until love became the only rule left. Just as forever seemed within reach, a threat forced Lala to choose: the man she loved, or his life. She walked away, leaving Vito broken. Six years later, both are doctors again. Fate brings them face to face once more-with years of silence, a secret, and a choice that still haunts them. "No matter how far apart we are, even in the choices we made... we will be each other's final home." NOTE: will be Posting a Chapter once a week or even a month due to my hectic schedule! I don't want any pressures in writing my story, but I do hope it does inspire you just like what Gwy did to me. and For this-I want an honest opinion. do you prefer a single or do you want Danica and Arkel's Story to be added and make the storyline a Duology? and if yes I would be making changes since Their Story would make sense if made first rather than Lala's and Vito. and A quick info for you to know is that Danica is Lala's Best Friend, while Arkel is Vito's Brother. both Became Unexpected Mutuals from the Past. what do you think??

A school trip meant to feel like freedom quickly becomes something else entirely. Rules are recited, smiles are practiced, and a five-star hotel looms like it's watching rather than welcoming. As the bus rolls closer, one student observes the cracks beneath the luxury - rotting systems, empty promises, and classmates who believe consequences don't apply to them. When Nisha's phone battery dies before they even arrive, it becomes clear: Rules only matter until they don't. And everyone assumes the next step is guaranteed... until it isn't.

The world is not a courtroom of justice; it is a chessboard of influence. From the moment we are born, we are thrust into a complex web of power dynamics, social hierarchies, and strategic maneuvers. Most people walk through this web blindfolded, believing that hard work, innate goodness, and sheer luck are the only variables that determine success. They are wrong. THE ARCHITECTURE OF INFLUENCE is not designed to comfort you; it is designed to arm you. Author Naitik Saxena dismantles preconceived notions of morality and fairness to reveal a far more calculated and unsentimental reality: power is engineered piece by piece. Whether you are scaling a digital newsletter into an empire, maneuvering through high-stakes brand negotiations, or cultivating an impenetrable personal mystique, enduring influence requires supreme situational awareness and strategic execution. History is a graveyard of brilliant individuals who possessed ambition but misunderstood leverage. By internalizing the historical lessons and psychological mechanics laid out across 52 chapters, you will learn to read the hidden currents of any room and outmaneuver opponents who rely purely on emotion. Inside this manual, you will master: - The Principle of the Void: Learn the art of absence to bypass analytical defenses and appeal directly to the primal drivers of human nature. - The Currency of Restraint: Wield silence as a weapon to drain your adversaries' emotional endurance and outlast their defenses. - The Architecture of Dependency: Make yourself indispensable by intentionally manufacturing cognitive friction and restricting the supply of your presence. - The Leverage of Flaws: Transform your perceived weaknesses into an unpredictable variable and a potent form of structural leverage. The architecture of influence requires immense emotional discipline and a willingness to see the world exactly as it is, rather than how you wish it to be. The board is set. It is time to learn how to play.

Will she work together with king Thranduil and earn her fathers attention once and for all, or will she escape to do the quest on her own? Will she find the Sword of Love?

A set of rules should be followed for use of this parking building, any deviation from these rules are taken at the drivers own risk.

How not to get hurt in a relationship? How to get the guy crying over you and not the other way around? All good questions, which I found myself asking last summer when I was under my bed sheets, crying so much that it physically hurt me, having eaten 3 tubs of Ben&Jerry's chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, working on my melted 4th. That summer changed me. I was a naive girl, ready to fall in love whenever a guy would ask to borrow a pencil in class. But now, I've created rules for myself.. standards. That summer I promised myself I would never let a guy hurt me in a relationship, and compiled a list of rules of a heartbreaker. I push everyone away, in hopes of not getting hurt again, and making the boys suffer. I follow each and every one to the dot, watching as boys are all wrapped around my finger now, me being the ring leader this time around. That is until I move into my new house, which so happens to be right next to Layton Asher's. Fantastic. He starts showing an interest in me, playing straight from the Fuckboy handbook. Oh, but I know his game.. I invented it. Player against player. Bad meets worse. Only one can win though, and one thing's guaranteed; I'm sure as hell not getting hurt by some new boy.

Al had always been a stickler for the rules. He loved his family so much that listening to them when they told him to do something had never really bothered him at all. He'd never thought twice about it. That is, until Kaleb told him to stay away from Addy. Addy had always been a bit of a rebel. She never listened to her parents or any of the other Pack members; Al seemed to be the only one who could ever get her to do something. Why? Because, since she was a child, Addy had always been in love with him. The two of them will learn that sometimes, a little rebellion can be a good thing.

25 people who has normal lives, some are working hard for their future, some are rising up from the ground. But a game that took them and they went missing.

Mira took the night shift because no one asks questions at 2 AM. The library was old in a way that made the air feel heavier. The rules were simple enough to ignore. Don't open certain books. Don't stay late. Don't listen too closely. Until she found one with no title. And her name written inside in ink that hadn't dried. That was the night the shelves grew taller. The clocks started counting differently. And a boy with silver eyes told her this place keeps records of things that haven't happened yet. Nakshatra Mahal isn't just a library. It's a place where stories are alive. Where pages turn on their own. Where every choice has a cost. Now Mira has until November. To learn how the game works. To figure out what it costs to change a page. To decide if surviving is worth what she'll have to write. Because in this library, every story is still being written. And some of them are writing back. --- This is a dark fantasy about time, choices, and the price of one more chapter. Set in endless shelves, rain-soaked Mumbai nights, and a game no one told her she was playing. *Tropes:* Dark Academia, Hidden World, Moral Grey, Slow Burn, Found Family You don't read the books here. They read you first. Status: Ongoing Updates: Mon + Thu ---
