Violet knew she didn't deserve chances, but she has got one now, and she wasn't going to blow this last retort and not marry the blue eyed Dhruv. Dhruv can handle his company alone just fine but a wish from his grandmother makes it difficult. So when an opportunity arrives in form of marriage, he is going to marry edgy Violet. **** "Hey" He whispers while slowly approaching towards me after locking the door. "Hey" I sigh. "Come here" Dhruv opens his arms and I willingly fall into his embrace. He slowly tightens his arms around me while I hide my face in the crook of his neck and clutch his shoulders for my dear life. Home. Funny, how I once hated the idea of owning a home and today at this very moment I wish for nothing more than to live forever in this home. In the arms of Dhruv. My Dhruv. I finally decided to break an hour of silence with the words I had been contemplating to voice out. "I am sorry Dhruv, but I can't do this, I need to leave." "I know." **** When two wires collide, there's a spark but when two whole different personalities collide there might be an explosion. Who knew along the journey one will find the reason to keep breathing and the other will be the reason to keep breathing? Follow them to know how different lives get entangled to create a beautiful mess. **** This is purely a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real life is pure coincidence. The cover is made using Canva and I do not own it.

Since the ninth grade, South Finley High has had an unusual amount of successful couples- and C and T are to blame. No matter who it is, no matter who they like, and no matter what the circumstances, the two girls have matched together 104 couples and have not once been discovered. The only group of people they have not dared to meddle with happen to be the most popular girls and guys in school. But one day, Cameron risks a bold move. She observes the Populars in their natural habitat and makes a shocking discovery. Instead of a casual love triangle or two, all nine Populars are ensnared in an intricate love knot. There's no way the matchmakers can't get involved now, but this might be their most difficult task yet. *this book is lgbt+ and contains a relationship between two boys*

It didn't matter that I could perfect oil painting techniques. It didn't matter that I had a healthy diet and tried my best to exercise. None of it mattered.

This is a collection of Greek Myths I thought some people would like to read for pure interest or to help them with their homework. I own nothing, all credits go to the Greeks and their interesting mythology.

In a realm where nobody knows who to trust, the one constant in Lyrani Esch's life is her job as an agent for the Elven Council of Irylen Secret Intelligence (ECISI). It's easy enough to ignore the rumours about the villainy of the elf king Nash. People call it "The Curse of the Crown", but it's all hearsay. At least until Lyrani is assigned a mission to confront it. Her objectives are simple - get into Vlitavia Palace, gather intelligence on King Nash's operations, kill him and get out. But assignments are never as easy as they sound, and the stars are against Lyrani from the start. The deeper Lyrani delves into Nash's present, the more she learns of her past. With her startling discoveries comes the realisation that she must free Nash from a vicious trap or forfeit the realm and both their lives in the name of the curse. Because destinies entwined are never easily separated. Season 1 of A Sprinkle of Stardust WARNING: This story contains strong language and depictions of sexual assault that may be upsetting for some readers. Reader discretion is advised.
