Do you really think I would choose that disgusting pig over you?” ‘I can’t believe I have to marry that disgusting pig…’ the words echoed in my head. I didn’t hear anymore of their conversation, as I felt a huge sadness wash over me. I looked down at my body. I was extremely heavy, who would love a woman such as me. ‘If you wish for your husband to love you, then lose some weight.’ ‘This was the only way for you to have a husband.’ I turned and started walking away.

The warm liquid tasted of metal and burned her throat. Nate’s eyes fluttered open, she saw the blurred outline of a face. “You are mine now,” it said. He released her, Nate dropped to the floor with a thump. The man, the shadow, was gone. Nate’s hand reached for her throbbing neck, she felt two small punctures in her skin. This is when the real pain started.

"In that case, you will torture me. Not Estella." Yuan laughed furiously, his eyes devoid of emotion but hatred for Lucius. It was clear to Lucius that Yuan's only source of happiness hated him and that his hatred kept him going. He doesn't feel any fear for himself, but when it comes to the woman he loves, his chest is too nervous. He will trust his father's plan. He won't let them go; he knows that even if they don't get along, he won't let him perish. "Let's start the game," Yuan said seriously. Then Yuan quickly took a piece of paper and wrote a message. Yuan threw it at him and shouted, "Let's begin the game!"

Maybe it was because she could see the truth in his eyes. She didn't know why but as she imagined him right at that moment, she just felt that the man had an icy heart that would never, ever melt. Was it possible for her to fall in love with such a man, she wondered? Would it be possible for her to love a man who was cold, so cold that he might even scare her poor heart away? She didn't know both at this point she thought that there was really no reason for her to even tell herself to be scared anymore. Hesitating was no longer an option if she wanted desires as she had read in romantic novels–action was imperative.

she sighed, her words filled with gratitude and a glimmer of peace. As Alicia sat beside Lily, sharing stories of Jill bringing happy moments into the young girl's life, she couldn't shake the emotions churning within her. Wrestling with the complexities of love, forgiveness, and redemption, Alicia finds herself at an unexpected crossroads, torn between the darkness of the past and the fragile hope of the present.

There was absolutely no denying the reality that I was deeply, irrevocably in love with her, but the terror nesting in my soul was vastly more powerful than my joy. What if the woman I choose to love gets destroyed all over again? What if, because of my own carelessness, she gets torn away from this earth just like Angie did? Those were the suffocating, terrifying questions that haunted my every thought. I was absolutely paralyzed by the fear of history repeating itself, terrified that my love was a curse that brought nothing but death and destruction to the people closest to me.

“You stole her. You stole her.” It knelt then, the shadow melting into itself, whispering a name only it dared speak: “My beloved Aria. My goddess. My everything.” The grief twisted into something more, something dark and fevered. Obsession. Desire. A hunger so potent it warped the edges of the room, curling the light into painful crescents, making the very air taste of smoke and iron. Its love, or what passed for love, was suffocating, unbearable, all - consuming. The shadow trembled, fell to its knees, and wept with an agony that seemed to bleed into Vaethea’s bones.

"He thrives in the shadows. But we know how to turn on the lights now. We are vetting them. We are educating them. We are building an army of people who know how to protect each other." Victor closed his eyes, leaning his forehead against mine. The frantic, electric tension of the kiss slowly morphed into a deep, vibrating warmth.
