The madness and craziness in his eyes only made more tears stream down my cheeks. He was a complete psychopath. "Don't close those pretty eyes when I am making love with you, amore. Look at me, your husband." He rasped out and pounded inside me again, sending a painful jolt throughout my body. When was this going to finally end? I can't take this agonizing torture anymore. Tears blurred my hazy vision and a strangling sound left my throat when Elliott wrapped his hand around my throat. He was choking me mercilessly. I gasped for air and begged him to let me go but like always, he never did. He will never let me go. He leaned down and pressed a tender kiss on my jaw before we both came at the same time, as he filled my insides. I thought maybe this was the end, but he had other plans. He flipped me on my stomach, earning a whimper from me and whispered huskily near my ear, "Let's go for round two, shall we, my love?" ▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎ #1 in Captive #2 in CEO #2 in Forcedlove #2 in Italian #2 in Mafiaboss #2 in Character development #3 in Darkromance #3 in Fear #3 in Panicattacks #4 in Manipulation #4 in Plottwist #7 in Billionaire #7 in Hurt ● The first few chapters contain some plot holes and errors, but as you read more, the chapters will get significantly bet

    JIKOOK AU A story of REVENGE, LOVE, and TWISTED FATE Jungkook was left behind like a secret too shameful to be acknowledged. Ghosted by the man he once loved, discarded the moment a marriage proposal arrived from a wealthier, prettier boy-Seojun chose comfort over love. And Jungkook? He chose revenge. Years later, he walks the halls of the same university where his ex's-husband now teaches - not as a ghost, but as a professor. Sharp-tongued, confident, and cold. He has a plan. Get close to the boy Seojun married. Play nice. Smile. Make him fall for Jungkook and make Seojun regret everything. But Jimin isn't what Jungkook expected. He is soft-spoken, sunshine-bright, utterly sincere. He's kind to everyone, even when he's hurting even when he's carrying the weight of a marriage that feels more like a shadow than a home. Somewhere between sarcastic jabs and hallway encounters, Jungkook starts to see something else - not Seojun's husband.. Just Jimin. Warm, ridiculous, heartbreakingly real Jimin. Now torn between a past that haunts him and a present that disarms him, Jungkook finds himself spiraling into a love he didn't ask for - with the one person he was never supposed to feel anything for. Because when revenge meets innocence... someone always gets burned. Contains: ⋆Anger/Hurt ⋆Love ⋆Romantic Betrayal ⋆Revenge ⋆Fertility ⋆Past ⋆Smut ⋆Emotional Conflict ⋆Temptation ⋆Mpreg! ⋆Secrets ☆Top-Jungkook! ☆Bottom-Jimin¡ Read to find out how love, betrayal and revenge twist their fates.

    Recommended for 15+ (Make you're own call if you think you have the maturity of roughly a 15-year-old or older... you're good) Anyway... Six years have passed since Aaravos fell... Six years of planning, failing, hoping and waiting for what's to come, and just... trying to move on. But no one can predict the future. (Well, maybe Kosmo kind of can). Meanwhile, Rayla and Callum are navigating love, loss, and the unknown. Old enemies awaken, new dangers emerge, and every choice could destroy the world they've fought so hard to protect. Their home. Can they survive what's coming... together? ...Or will everything fall to pieces? The cover art, is edited and designed (Put together...) By me using photoshop, but the base image is created by Hanna Hofer, and the logo obviously belongs to the creators of the show!

    They call him "The Phantom"-a ghost that haunts the night, a legendary thief who steals from the corrupt and punishes the wicked with absolute power. He is cold, ruthless, and untouchable. A monster wrapped in elegance. But his world of darkness shatters the moment he sets his eyes on Xia Luiyi. Luiyi is the young, strict, and fiercely handsome Inspector. Pure, righteous, and everything that Chusan is not. The moment Chusan sees him, it is not love that blooms... it is obsession. A violent, possessive hunger that consumes his very soul. To get closer to his prey, Chusan discards his shadow and steps into the light. He creates a new identity: He Changxi-a seemingly gentle, delicate, and harmless man who joins the police force. As Changxi, he infiltrates Luiyi's life, slowly weaving a web of affection and protection, capturing Luiyi's heart inch by inch. But as Phantom, he lurks in the dark, claiming Luiyi as his property, marking him with words that chill the blood and ignite a dangerous desire. He plays a dangerous game, walking the line between savior and criminal. But how long can he hide the truth? When Luiyi finally discovers that the man he is learning to love is the same dangerous beast he has been hunting... will he run? Or will he surrender to the darkness that has already claimed him? "I do not steal for money. I steal what I desire. And you... you are the greatest treasure I will ever own."

    Jane Sinclair runs the family bookshop, lives above it in contented independence, and has spent the past year building a careful conviction: that the newly arrived village doctor - starchy and correct with everyone else - is entirely different with her, and that the difference means something. Dr. Thomas Langley likes Jane enormously. He simply hasn't worked out yet what enormously actually means. She's warm, outgoing, and likes to argue - nothing at all like the composed, correct sort of woman he's always assumed he was meant to end up with. So when a beautiful, well-connected socialite arrives in the village for the summer, looking like everything he supposedly wants, Thomas is intrigued -- and Jane begins to think she may have misjudged her handsome village doctor.

    Some randoms poems I wrote. This was thanks to my friend who asked me to write her a poem and i decided to continue. I found out I really enjoy writing these and wanted to share them with other people. This kinda reminds me of the book "Poems I Wrote While You Were Sleeping." Do check that out! These are poems from my personal feelings, experiences, etc. They come from the sincerest parts of my heart and my genuine feelings. I'd appreciate the credit. Others might just be some I've read and wanted to share. (btw, the cover of this book is a picture that i took one day after work, it's so pretty 🥹) ------------------------- -Bbokari_luvskzz, 2026.

    Maybe in another world we could be together. Maybe in another world I would be truly fine. Maybe in another world there is real peace. Maybe in another world my mind is quiet. Maybe in another world you can be here. Maybe in another world life goes better. Maybe in another world they will care. Maybe in another world I am strong. Maybe in another world I won't die. Maybe in another world I survive. Maybe in another world I live..... ...just maybe. My last wish, while falling. ⚠️ TW: su¡cide, selfhärm, self blame, bulling, voices, death, blood Please, if you do selfhärm or think about k¡lling yourself, you probably shouldn't read this story. But please, listen to me just for one more second. Even if you think nobody is caring about you, I tell you, there is. There are people who'll cry about the loss of you, there are people who'll never be able to move on, and there are people who'll blame themselves for not being able to help you. So please talk to someone, sometimes it's just a stranger, a call emergency services or helplines. Please don't hurt yourself in any way. Just take a deep breath and then do one small step, the first one is the hardest. But always remember, you have the control, it's your decision what you choose to show, and when. You decide how fast the things will go on. Take care and stay safe! Sometimes we don't see it, but no one is alone. You're important and you're strong!
