"Let's get a divorce." The words should have broken her. Instead, she felt nothing. Claire Bennett thought she had built a quiet, ordinary marriage with Ethan Miller until the day he asked to leave for his first love, Vanessa Reed. Without tears or arguments, Claire signs the papers and walks away, determined to return her life to the way it was before Ethan. But cutting contact completely is never simple. Vanessa's envy runs deep, and Ethan's certainty begins to crumble as the woman he left behind starts to shine without him. When a mysterious artist named Ryan Carter steps into Claire's life, he challenges everything she thought she knew about love, loyalty, and self-worth. In a world where appearances mean everything, Claire learns that the greatest revenge is peace, and that the right love never asks her to wait.

She liked him. Quietly....deeply...in the kind of way that never asked to be seen. But he never saw her. Not as a crush. Not as a friend. Not even as someone worth understanding. He wasn't cruel. He wasn't confused. He just... never chose her. And still, she stayed. At first, it was small-just a fleeting feeling. But with time, it grew into something consuming... something that lived in every glance she stole, every message she waited for, every silence he left behind. She fell first. And then she fell harder. Until loving him became a habit she didn't know how to stop. Until one day- she did. Not all at once. Not in a dramatic goodbye. But slowly... piece by piece... she took her heart back. Or at least, that's what it looked like. Because now- she doesn't react. She doesn't wait. She doesn't care. Or maybe... she just pretends she doesn't. To him, she was just someone annoying. Someone easy to ignore. Someone who never mattered. But fate has a way of returning what was once overlooked. Because when they meet again- when her eyes no longer search for him- He notices. He pauses. He wonders. He feels. And this time... he falls. Harder than she ever did. Not slowly. Not carefully. But in the kind of way that ruins sleep and steals breath. While she- just watches, as if she feels nothing at all. 🏆 Ranked #1 in Crush 🏆 Ranked #1 in OneSidedLove 🏆 Ranked #1 in Reunion ~ a story that started with silence... and stayed. ❤️

When a girl gets a complete makeover, the hot guy is supposed to start liking her. Not Forrest Stephens. He merely gave me a once-over, said "nice outfit", and walked right past me. Maybe being his friend was the problem. But now that other guys started noticing me, he's gotten protective-demanding I don't date them without his permission, and touching me in ways that makes everyone think I'm off-limits. · · ─ ·✶· ─ · · "Spencer," his caress over my name brought the smallest blush, the events of last night flashing through my mind like a movie. His knuckles brushed my cheek. Angling his head, he studied me, eyes narrowing in a way that was uncomfortably critical. "You're blushing," he noted. He was so close I caught a whiff of his wintergreen gum. In that moment I wanted to disappear. "I'm not," I denied. "You are," he countered, leaning in. "Your cheeks are pink. You're not into me-are you?" 𝚃𝚘𝚙 𝚁𝚊𝚗𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜: #1 𝚓𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚘𝚞𝚜𝚢 #1 𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚢𝚎𝚛 **Wrote this in middle school. Revised to make readable**

Paris, the city of love-yet for me, love has never come easily. My name is Sophie Marchand. I never imagined my path would lead me here-working side by side with Nicholas Deveraux, the powerful CEO of Vinci Group. All my life, I fought to rise above the loneliness of my orphaned childhood. I studied harder than anyone else, worked tirelessly, and built a career with one dream in my heart: to someday have a stable family of my own, a life where I was never alone. I never thought my beauty would open doors faster than my lawyer degree. With my professionalism and my looks, opportunities often came my way. That's how I found myself here-Nicholas's personal assistant. At first, he was my boss. Handsome. Poweful. Charismatic. I told myself I would keep things professional, that I would never blur the line between work and personal life. But the more time we spent together, the more his gorgeous blue eyes lingered on me, the more his charm wrapped around me, the weaker my resolve became. Finally, when Nicholas offered me a secret relationship-temporary, exclusive-I should have said no. I knew it could end in heartbreak. I knew there was someone else - his former girlfriend from a wealthy family, the woman his world expects him to marry - the woman he promised to wait for her to come back. And yet... I couldn't resist him. The temptation... Now, every stolen glance, every hidden touch, every whispered promise ties me closer to a man who may never truly be mine. When that woman returns, will he cast me aside? To him, am I only a lover in the shadows? I've survived being alone before, but this time... will I have the strength to protect my heart? Because the ache of belonging to someone... is sometimes stronger than the will to let go.
