Stockholm Syndrome 2015 Novels & Stories

It’s what Igor Abramov nurtured us to be and we fully embraced it. But after meeting and kidnapping his wife who in turn developed feelings for him; yeah the Stockholm syndrome shit, Stalin doesn’t fuck around again. He only sticks to Yulia, his wife. They wedded not long ago in our orthodox church whose priest helps to ship our drugs and weapons in disguise to our major buyers in Yemen. Yeah, those people you think don’t taint their hands are actually the ones that do it at best. Stalin leaned in closer to the screen and wave. I reciprocate with a shake of my head.

she asked again. “I’ll take back the clock to the day Louisa went missing, maybe this time I would take her along with me to the kitchen.” The lady released a sigh, licked her lips like she was bracing herself up. “Ma’am, have you ever heard of Stockholm syndrome?” “Stockholm s-syndrome?” I asked back with a little confusion. I was familiar with the word; I think we also played around with it quite a few times as teenagers but I never took out the time to figure out what it actually means.

"Then why are you still standing here? Why aren't you in the library plotting your next insult? You’re shaken, Tessa. Because for the first time in your life, you couldn't plan for how you felt." "I am shaken because I am disgusted with myself," she whispered. "I have spent my career helping people start their lives together. I believed in the ceremony. I believed in the vow. And I let a man like you turn me into a cliche. The captive who falls for the captor. It’s pathetic." "Is that what you think this is?" Roy’s jaw tightened. "Stockholm syndrome? A cliche?" "What else could it be? You have all the power. You control the doors, the food, the light. You have created an environment where yo

Maria’s worry was valid. Maximo had only been using me to pass time. Maybe he was bored and needed a new plaything to give him entertainment. And I was there, his new prisoner. Or maybe he was just a sadist and a monster who sucked the life out of people bit by bit until they had nothing else to live for. Lock me up like a prisoner and treat me like a princess until I had no choice but to fall for him. Stockholm syndrome. Was that how he planned to torture me?

"Serayah, what is the clinical name for victims who cling to the people who torture them? The ones who fall in love with their abusers?" "Stockholm Syndrome," Serayah answered solemnly. "Exactly!" Lawrose went on a rampage. "Giselle, you are suffering from a textbook case of Stockholm Syndrome. You need to wake up before Chase destroys whatever is left of your soul. Damn it! I saw you that night at the bar. You were a shell of a person. Are you really back to giving sugar to an ant that doesn't appreciate you, but only exists to drain you?" "Preach, Law," Serayah added. Even though she barely agreed with anything Lawrose said, but in that moment she was solidly behind him.

“Then stop worrying about him. You and Christian come with me. I can protect you, Renee. I’ll contact the authorities and he’ll go to jail. He’s held you captive all this time. There’s no way he’s getting out of this.” “And what happens when they question why I didn’t leave?” “Tell them the truth. Stockholm syndrome is real and you have it. I’ll help you, Renee. I love you and Christian. I’ll go through hell and back to have you with me.”

I said, “so you’re finally abandoning your idea to take revenge?” Liam scoffed. “Father has to pay for hurting you. Maybe until he accepts what he’s done to you, that’s when you notice it too.” A bitter smile engulfed my lips. “Father didn’t hurt me. Not really. If I were competent—if I could be the son he was proud of, then he wouldn’t have to push me hard.” “Tommy.” His eyes widened. “You have Stockholm syndrome.” I snorted. “I don’t. Stockholm is between partners.”

It seemed that Pierce's old crush was someone he had held dear to his heart considering how much he treasured her items. Then, why had he married Millie? Why hadn't he sought out his crush? The more Millie thought about it, the angrier she became. She wanted to confront Pierce immediately, but she stopped herself. She realized that there was something wrong with her emotions and suddenly thought of a terrifying psychological disorder—Stockholm Syndrome. It was a rare psychological disorder whereby a victimized person developed a defense mechanism out of the fear of death and admiration for the strong. The victim would resonate with the abuser and develop feelings for them, eventually falling

Then I reached into my purse, pulled out my phone, and typed slowly into the search bar: "Stockholm effect." The first definition that popped up read: ‘A psychological response wherein a hostage or victim develops positive feelings for their captor, often mistaking fear and dependency for love or trust.’ My stomach twisted. Could that… really be what this was? What I felt for Warren? No. No. Warren wasn’t my captor—he was my savior. He was the one who had protected me, the one who risked his life to get us both out. But still… we had shared fear, desperation, survival. Could trauma really have blurred those lines?
