"Giana, I let you get away with your disrespect long enough. You do not tell me to shut up. Disrespecting a Moltisanti is like disrespecting God." The shorter woman scoffed as best as she could seeing her air supply was being cut off. "Oh, so you think you're a god now?" Lucia twisted their bodies pressing Giana against the wall with a thud. "Con il modo in cui potrei averti in ginocchio implorando pietà." ["With the way, I could have you on your knees begging for mercy."] \\\\ Giana wanted nothing more than to graduate and finally move far away from her father who was the Mayor of Chicago and the public eye. But during winter break, she finds all her plans are put on hold when she's kidnapped and forced to spend the next few months at the Moltisanti Estate. Updates every other day!

~Sequel to If Only~ Seven years have passed since Alison Greystone last saw her. At twenty-seven, Alison has built a quiet, gentle life. She writes, teaches, and cares for her family-pouring her love into everyone but herself. Sweet, steady, and endlessly kind, she tells herself she's healed. That she's safe. But when she returns, the calm Alison has so carefully tended begins to crumble. The woman who once shattered her heart hasn't forgotten-or forgiven-the past. Her charm hides something darker, an ache that borders on obsession. And Alison, despite every promise she's made to herself, can't look away. Because some loves don't fade with time. They linger in the shadows, waiting for the moment your heart remembers what it was never meant to forget. ༻❁༺ This is the sequel to my first story If Only, which was a TXS story.

What will happen when the two worlds suddenly collide. A tale of fear, secrets and a burning love. ▪️▪️▪️ "Who can tell me why cells differentiate?" No one answers. Her gaze sweeps the rows again, more predator than teacher and I swear the temperature drops a degree when her eyes land on me. A pause. "Lily." Of course. My name coming from her lips causes a riptide of anxiety to take over. I freeze. I just read this in the chapter summary yet the words blur in my mind. "It's-um-" I start, then stop. Her expression doesn't change, but somehow that's worse than disappointment. It's an expectation. Like she's handing me a scientific dagger, daring me to strike her with it. I try to take a breath. I seemingly fail, my chest feels like it's caving in on itself. "So they can perform different functions? Even though they all have the same DNA?" There's a moment. She doesn't nod. "Acceptable." ▪️▪️▪️ ⚠️⚠️⚠️ This book does contain mentions of Domestic abuse, Trauma, mental health problems and Violence. Please read at your own discretion.

She walks quietly over to the bathroom door, her steps almost silent on the soft carpet beneath her feet. She stops just a few feet away, the bathroom door in front of her, the water running steadily inside. She debates with herself for a moment, hesitating. Is it too intrusive to fucking peek? Would Selene even care? The thoughts swirl, but Ayla's curiosity gets the best of her. She leans closer to the door, her heart beating faster as she edges just a little closer, trying to catch a glimpse of what's happening inside. But before she can get too close, a voice, soft yet commanding, calls out from the bathroom. "You've got a lot of damn questions, don't you?" Ayla freezes, her breath caught in her throat, heart skipping a beat. Selene's voice is smooth, unaffected, as though she knew exactly what Ayla was thinking. Ayla straightens, a flush creeping up her neck, realizing she's been caught. "I-uh-I wasn't..." She stumbles for words, feeling embarrassed but also strangely intrigued. "I didn't mean to-" Selene interrupts her, though there's no judgment in her tone, just that same quiet confidence. "It's fine. Curiosity is natural." The sound of water splashing softly echoes through the door, followed by the soft clink of glass-likely the sound of Selene setting something down. Ayla hesitates for a moment before speaking, her voice quieter now. "Are you... are you okay in there?" Selene's chuckle reaches Ayla, low and almost amused. "I'm perfectly fine, little fox, You should be more concerned with your own safety than my bath." To be continued.......

Amanda left this university empty-handed, heart shattered. Back then, there was no support - only silence. She didn't reach for her. She turned her back and walked away. Five years later. Amanda returns - not as a student, but as a name everyone knows. Forbes covers. Headlines. Rooms that fall dead silent the second she walks in. Amanda is the one who clawed her way up from nothing. They invited her to answer the questions of those who've never learned how brutal it feels to fall. And there she is, front row. The one who once made Amanda doubt everything. The one who lost the right to ask - yet still aches to hear the answer. But this time, Amanda owns the stage. And all her attention belongs to the woman who once turned away. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 🏅7 «Advocates»

"I finally passed by the last alley before the one my apartment was situated on, when suddently my heart stopped. My body freezed and my ears were ringing from the loud sound of the end. The smell of death, fear and blood. It all happened so soon, too soon. She was just standing there watching as the life was flowing out of the guy's body that was now laying on the cold concrete, lifeless. Her tall figure... so powerful, confident. I watched everything wide eyed and then, the world had stopped. Her head suddently turned towards me and, oh my God. I could feel those sharp, green eyes burning a hole right through my skull in the darkness. I held my breath and quickly hid behind the wall but it was too late. I was foolish. I should've ran away." ...

You are in need of money and apply for an internship at Olsen International. Fortunately, you get the internship. At only twenty, you're still new to the world of corporate offices, let alone one run by Elizabeth Olsen-the kind of CEO whose name carried weight and whose gaze made people sit straighter. You spend your first month in a mix of awe and anxiety, convinced Elizabeth only calls your name when something is wrong. Elizabeth's eyes seem fo find you in every boardroom and elevator, lingering just a little longer than necessary. You assumes it is critism, scrutiny- judgement even. But little do you know, its something else entirely.
