"You're here," she murmured, voice steady. "Tell me two things you can see." His throat worked. "The tub," he managed, voice rough. "You." "Good," she said. "Now, two things you can hear." "The shower," he exhaled. "Your voice." "Two things you can feel." "The water." His grip tightened on her hand. "You." "That's good," she whispered, a small smile tugging at her lips.

"Three years of your life in exchange for your brother's future. Fair, isn't it?" For years, she's lived on exhaustion and sacrifice-working tirelessly to keep food on the table, drowning in debt, and fighting to pay for her brother's medical bills. Hope was never meant for her... until the most dangerous man she knows offers a deal she cannot refuse. Caius Grivano. Her cold, ruthless employer. The infamous mafia leader whose name alone makes the underworld tremble. His proposition is simple: be his wife. No strings. No love. Just a contract that grants her brother's life in exchange for her freedom. Luxury in place of poverty. Safety in exchange for silence. But simplicity is a lie. Because behind Caius's icy indifference is a past that refuses to stay buried... and a little girl who shatters every wall he's built. What happens when a transaction of convenience begins to feel like something far more dangerous-something real?

"Promise?" She said with tears in her eyes. "I promise." He smiled softly.

She thinks she's invisible-just a waitress working late shifts to pay her bills, slipping through life without being noticed. But she's wrong. Someone sees her. Him. Cold, powerful, and dangerously obsessed, he's watched her for months from the shadows. He knows her routines, her smile, the way she tucks her hair behind her ear when she's nervous. To the world, he's an untouchable billionaire, ruthless and controlled. But when it comes to her, control is slipping. When she accidentally stumbles into his world-an overheard phone call, a mistaken identity, a stormy night-he decides watching isn't enough anymore. He wants her. Needs her. And he'll do anything to keep her close... even if it means unraveling her world to remake it with him at the center.

Atychiphobia (n.) fear of failure; fear of not being good enough Leonessa and Rowan have been going to the same school for 3 years. Though they've never offered each other more than a passing glance. That all changes when Leonessa is running late for the school trip and has to sit next to Rowan for the bus ride. Throw in complicated feelings. A summer camp. A group of mischievous friends. And a betrayal. Everything may just turn inside out. Or maybe this is the way it was always meant to be. (Really bad at descriptions guys but TRUST)

𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀 𝐇𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐎𝐍 is the fireball of the group-the life of the party, the girl who always knows how to have fun, and the friend you can always rely on. She believes in love like it's written in the stars, like it's meant to be grand and all-consuming. But what most people don't see is the bleeding heart beneath her confident smile. The same heart that beats fiercely for love is the same one that shatters the hardest. And now, she's starting to wonder-does love heal, or does it only wound? 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐒 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐍 is the guy who never takes anything seriously. He's the one cracking jokes when the room gets tense, the one who turns everything into a game, the friend who always has your back. People love him for it, but they don't realize that it's his way of keeping his own demons at bay. His laughter masks the weight he carries, the things he'd rather drown in another drink than face. But some pain can't be laughed off, and some losses can't be undone. She's searching for something real. He's terrified of facing reality. But when the lines between them blur, when love becomes both the wound and the cure-will he finally step up before she slips away for good?
