Carter sat stiffly on the chair, his elbows resting on the small, cold metal table in front of him. His fingers tapped nervously against the surface, betraying the storm raging inside him. The room was a chaotic hum of voices, distant footsteps, and the clatter of trays, but Carter heard none of it. His heart raced so wildly he thought it might give out. He felt hot one moment, then icy cold the next. Was he truly ready for this? Could he face the man who might shatter his already fragile realit

Echoes of the Heart Ch. 10 Comments, critiques and tips are welcome! *** Carter sat on the cold floor, his back against the wall, staring at the large portrait of his father hanging above the dresser. The man in the photograph wore his usual warm smile, the one Carter remembered so well, the one that had always filled him with a sense of comfort and hope. But now, it only brought a fresh wave of tears to his already swollen eyes. His head throbbed with a relentless ache, his heart

Thanks for joining us 😀

The truth awaits you in the future my friend 😊

Carter’s trembling hands flipped to the next page, unable to stop himself even as the words weighed heavier and heavier on his heart. Ethan’s handwriting stretched across the page, its flow messier, as though he’d written it in a state of agitation. “Today, without telling anyone, I visited the prison where he is being held,” the diary began. Carter felt his chest tighten as he continued. “Seeing his face for the first time—the man I just discovered is my father—scared the hell out of me. I

Carter stirred in his sleep, warmth spreading across his face as something tightened around his waist. Slowly, he blinked his eyes open, adjusting to the dim light filtering through the curtains. His breath hitched when he saw Jeremy's face only inches away from his, peaceful and serene in slumber. The man’s arm was draped protectively around Carter’s waist, holding him close, and his soft snoring sent warm puffs of air against Carter’s cheek. Jeremy looked breathtakingly handsome, even in

When love finally knocks on his door, it feels like the reward he’s been waiting for. But with every passionate moment comes a rising tide of jealousy and envy, and his haunting past lurks, ready to destroy everything he's fought for.

Shattered Bonds Ch. 01 Comments, critiques and tips are welcome! *** Life, they say, is an intricate web of decisions. Every day, we make choices, some small, some monumental, and sometimes those decisions lead us down paths we never expected. In the end, it’s all a game of sacrifice. We find ourselves doing things we never thought we'd do, all in the name of protecting the ones we love. The choices that weigh heavily on us—the ones that demand our time, our energy, ou

Carter rang the doorbell once more, his fingers trembling slightly as his nerves got the better of him. He paced back and forth outside, the night air brushing against his face, doing little to cool the heat of worry pulsing in his chest. Just as he raised his hand to ring again, the door opened. Jeff stood in the doorway, his face lighting up the moment he saw Carter. “Carter!” he greeted warmly, stepping aside to let him in. Carter rushed in, his eyes darting around the fancy co
