He worked the counter, delivered bread to local cafés, studied online for a literature degree he wasn’t sure he’d ever finish. He didn’t drink, didn’t party, didn’t date, not because he was holy, he just hadn’t met anyone who made the world feel bigger than the four walls he knew. Until the night he saw her. It was late. Aunt Mara had gone to bed early with a migraine. Noah was alone in the living room, laptop open, headphones on, scrolling through a late-night YouTube rabbit hole that had somehow landed on a channel called “VividVixen.” He wasn’t looking for p**n. He’d clicked a “reaction” video about “the most beautiful people in adult films,” mostly out of curiosity and boredom.

The movie was awesome.” “Which one?” Jake asked. “The ghost and the darkness..” Daniel began. “Seriously? That movie is old school.” Jake interrupted “ You haven’t watched it before?” “ No.” Daniel lied. Truth be told, he had watched it a long time ago but he needed that lie to make his other lie look convincing. He sighed inwardly as he remembered that saying.

Black as the darkest night hair against a crisp linen pillow, brown skin against a blindingly white sheet, and tiger’s eyes burning with deliberate cruelty and triumph into hers. In horrified rejection of the imagery that had sprung into her mind, Lara Anderson shuddered violently, dimly aware that she was still in the grip of severe shock. Abruptly, she was dredged from her turmoil by the insistent shrill of the telephone in the hall. Reluctantly she answered the summons, carefully shutting the lounge door behind her so that her father was not disturbed.

Please note: This a dark romance story, it features dark content. Alissia POV I sit at my desk, staring blankly at the blinking cursor on my screen.

“I'm sorry, Madam Rosanna. But I'd rather shack-up with an imbecile than pleasure any of those men out there.“ Stacie was changed into her casual clothes and ready to leave. Madam Rosanna held her hand in an angry grip. “What's your problem, Stacie? You're a stripper. Whatever dignity you're trying to protect doesn't exist. You sold them all, twirling around a pole!“ Stacie jerked away her hand from the tight hold. “You've got no fucking idea.“ With that, she ran off through the back door into the dark street of California. ******* “What's with your getup?“ Arthur asked in amusement, sliding into a seat opposite Richard's. Richard removed his dark shades, tugging his cap closer to his eyes.

Silence everywhere — only the candle flames trembled now and then, casting strange shadows on the walls. Then, footsteps echoed on the stage. A tall, thin man with white hair walked forward slowly — it was Professor Raghavan. His eyes were deep, as if hiding some secret within. He smiled, but the smile was neither warm nor cold — just… unsettling. “I think,” he said softly, “the darkness outside has now entered this building as well.” “So why don’t we face this darkness… with a game?” A murmur spread through the hall — someone laughed, someone asked,

"Many people wondered why scary things happen when it's dark, especially when there is an unexplainable blackout. Why do thieves' devices plan and think that it's best carried out at night? Why do most people die at night? I have spent the night in a hospital when most of the patients died before daybreak. I have also gone to numerous fetish festivals that perform sacrifices. Why perform this sacrifice at night? One thing is for certain. The dark is one symbolic entity where bad, strange, and dangerous things happen. Though some love the night because they could see the moon in its full glory-" Gbam! Sholay fidgeted as the chief editor slammed the manuscript on the table. He is known for thi
