'My perfect wedding day became my worst nightmare.' Architect Autumn Coleen Contreras has always believed in building a life as beautiful as the homes she designs-stable, elegant, and full of love. With a successful career, a circle of loyal friends, a cousin who's more like a sister, and a man she's ready to spend forever with, everything in her life feels picture-perfect. Until her wedding day. The guests waited. The music played. A bride walked down the aisle. But the woman in white... wasn't who they expected. It was someone else. And Autumn, herself, planned it that way. She had discovered the affair. The betrayal. The lies wrapped in sweet promises. So she gave the performance of a lifetime. Not by standing at the altar, but by stepping away from it. In front of a church full of witnesses, she let him live the lie he created. Now, in the silence that follows, Autumn must face what comes after the heartbreak. After the wedding that never was. After the future that never belonged to her. Because some lies aren't spoken. Some are worn. And the most dangerous ones are hidden in plain sight- The Lie Hidden in White.

My life before was just like my name, Haven. Everything was peaceful, everything went my way, and I had everything that I needed. If I wanted something, I'd have it in a snap. I didn't need to move, make an effort, or work for it. I just needed my daddy's tiny rectangular card that might look insignificant but carried the world on its little sharp edges. Money might not equate to happiness, but it certainly made life easier for me. And yet a year later, from heaven I was dropped into my version of hell. Now, I'm standing in the aisle of a grocery store, wondering if I should just buy another batch of instant noodles because I don't want to waste money-money that I barely have to begin with-on food that will just end up being barely edible. Was that the hell I'm talking about? No. It's working unbelievably long hours just to get paid basically nothing, and wanting to buy food to eat because I haven't had one meal for the day, only to end up having a gun on my head. Oh, and before I forget-kidnapped! At a grocery store! My version of hell? It's the tattooed, hot-headed Italian and head of a secret criminal society, Allessio Cascella.

[COMPLETE] SOFT RESET Book 3 of the "The Ones Who Were Watched" series Soft Reset is not typical Wattpad love story. It subverts typical Wattpad tropes - trading fantasy for grief, quiet longing, emotional restraint, and the slow work of healing after trauma. Elisse and Milo are not perfect. They're messy. Flawed. Complicated. But true. Raw. Damaged but trying. This isn't a story about being chosen. It's about the pain of not being ready for love when it mattered the most and the cost of realizing it too late.
