Summary
A psychological thriller about two people who use sex as a weapon, love as leverage, and each other as collateral damage. A story about predation, manipulation, and whether damaged people can learn tenderness - or if some things are too broken to fix.
Contains: sexual violence, emotional abuse, dubious consent, and two morally grey characters.
Eye the tags.
---Isabelle (Bells) Hann thought she had her life perfectly mapped out: a prestigious job at tech consultancy Larssens Ltd, an engagement to wealthy Theodore Watson, and a future built on safety and respectability. But her carefully constructed world begins to unravel around her predatory boss, Jude Larssen - a man whose brilliant mind and dangerous instincts have kept her orbiting him like a moth to flame for three years.
When Jude manipulates a high-stakes dinner with Japanese conglomerate Yamamoto Industries by claiming he and Bells are engaged, their simmering professional tension explodes into something far more volatile. As Bells becomes entangled in Jude's web of corporate machinations, late-night phone calls, and psychological games, she discovers that the line between manipulation and desire is thinner than she ever imagined.

Summary
University was supposed to be a clean slate. A new program, new faces, a chance to finally leave high school drama behind. I had a plan: stay focused, work hard, prove myself. Simple.
Except nothing is ever simple when she's involved. The universe—or maybe just our professor—decided to pair me with the one girl who spent years turning my life into a competition. She still struts in like she owns the room, still grins like she knows exactly how to get under my skin.
Of course, she’d keep finding a way to make my life miserable. Goddamn Kang Mira.
Or:
A classic Rumira enemies-to-lovers. Featuring Zoey and Jinu as absolute shit-stirrers. -

Summary
Hello! This is my first fan fic and I hope you will like it if you come across it.
This will be mostly what I would want in a fic so no hate please. English is not my first language so I will try my best.
There will be multiple chapters in this fic and it will be a slow burn and it will burn. The fic will cover more than the original story so it will take a long time to be completed. And no I will not skip the war, I will write every bit of it if I need to because I already miss MHA.
I will probably post a new chapter every week or two because I have school. Feel free to comment anything but no hateful comments.
Thank you!- Language:

Summary
Para Fyralis Hawkspur, la soledad era algo agobiante, estaba acostumbrada a estar en conjunto, en familia, rodeada de personar a las que podía considerar un hogar, o así era antes.
Para ella, Hogwarts solo era un hogar para aquellas personas que encontraban su lugar ahí. No estaba muy equivocada, pero se le olvidó que con un poco de esfuerzo ella igual podría encontrarlo.
Es bastante común que las personas tengan miedo a lo desconocido, a lo diferente. Lo importante es saber diferenciar entre el miedo por desconocimiento a la malicia. A las personas que no saben podemos enseñarles. A las personas maliciosas debemos alejarlas de nuestras vidas. -

So, when his dead friends entrusted him with caring for their daughter, he decided to dedicate his life to making sure he does not ruin this one thing. He keeps his head down and stays out of the way. That is, until his goddaughter's teacher decides to crawl into his brain and bury herself there.TW: Domestic Abuse!!!! (Pam is a bad mom)
