𝐇𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫. 𝐈𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐚 𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭. Emerald Sawyer has always been my home. She saw something in me when everyone else saw a hockey goon who could barely read. When the world called me stupid, she called me capable. Her faith built me in ways my father's cruelty never could. Now I'm Hayden "Haymaker" Sawyer-the league's most feared enforcer. My violence goes viral. My fists pay the bills. Every hit, every fight, every autograph, every deal-I told myself I was doing it all for her. Somewhere along the way, I stopped seeing what it was costing our marriage. I let my agent handle the business so I could focus on the game. I ignored the threats and harassment. The fans who hated her simply for being mine. When Emerald tried to show me how cruel it had gotten, I told her it didn't matter. That I would always keep her safe. I was wrong. The losses piled up. The fans turned vicious. My temper snapped, and with one ugly moment, I pushed away the only person who has ever truly loved me. Then, while I was smiling for the cameras, my wife was brutally attacked by a fan wearing my jersey. Now I see everything too late. I want blood from every single person who touched her. And the deeper I dig, the clearer it becomes that none of this was random. My agent, Rick Fox, has been pulling the strings for far too long. I'll do whatever it takes to bring down the people who came for my wife, earn back the woman I love, and prove that this time, I won't fail her again. Because Emerald Sawyer is my home, my heart, my everything. WILL BE TAKEN DOWN FROM WATTPAD APRIL 27. WILL RELEASE ON KU, E-BOOK, AND PAPERBACK MAY 1.

I used to love those movies where the guy's ex, The One That Got Away, comes back to town, and he's unable to resist her even though he's taken. I was even dumb enough to cheer for the star-crossed lovers. Now that I've lived that particular scenario, I'm about to find out what happens to the abandoned girlfriend after the two love birds get together. Coming soon!

She loved him loudly. He loved her quietly-only when it was convenient. Leah believed two years of love meant security, a future, a place she could finally call hers. Yet, every time it mattered, he chose someone else. A best friend. A familiar comfort. A silence that hurts more than betrayal. This is a story about emotional neglect, unspoken loyalties, and the slow realization that love without priority is a form of loss. It asks a difficult question: How long can you stay where you are never fully chosen?

He broke her heart. Now she's back-with scars, secrets, and no intention of forgiving him. Angel and Samuel were best friends since childhood, bound by loyalty and love. Until one night... one kiss... and one heartbreaking mistake changed everything. Three years later, Angel returns home-no longer the girl he once knew. She's colder. Stronger. Guarded. And the boy who called their love a "mistake"? Now he's the one begging for a second chance. But Angel isn't here to fall again. She's carrying secrets she'll never speak of-and pain she refuses to share. Samuel is ready to fight for her, but how do you fix something that's already broken? Can love truly heal old wounds? Or will the ghosts of their past ruin them... for good? 💔 A slow-burn second chance romance filled with angst, emotional tension, and heart-pounding drama. Perfect for fans of strong female leads, broken boys with soft hearts, and love stories that hurt before they heal. It gets better chapter by chapter, I promise!😌 So, please give my story a chance!🤧🙏 Grazie!!😌 #151 in backstabbing out 12.7k as of 18/12/24 #410 in anxiety as of 18/12/24 #32 in angst as of 19/12/24 Started: September 12, 2024 Finished: July 13, 2025

New York city, In the sterile white walls of a hospital room, Victoria Blackwell's world collapsed with a photo of her husband of five years - Henry Blackwell with another woman. She was more shattered when her son - Jude Blackwell chose that woman as his new Mom. Heartbroken, Victoria decided to give up both the marriage and motherhood. She faked memory loss, demanded a divorce, and walked away - determined to rebuild her life from the ruins. After Victoria's departure, Henry was stunned. The woman who once loved him unconditionally had transformed into someone unrecognizable - confident, composed, and untouchable. Now, Henry is desperate to win her back. Jude clings to memories of his mother's warmth and begs for her return. They both want her back. But Victoria has learned one thing the hard way: sometimes love isn't enough-especially when it costs you yourself.

One lesson I learned very early in life was to be cheerful, to be agreeable, to do as I was told and ask for nothing, and to never ever complain. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't make trouble and maybe they'll love you. I grew into an adult who took care of others and never expected that those I loved would take care of me in return. I gave and never asked, never expected, never demanded. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't make trouble and you'll find someone that will love you. And then one day, a Dragon walked into my workplace and turned my world upside down with a single wink. Having grown up watching his father treat his men like they were disposable, just meat bags to be fed into the grinder, Dragon was determined to be different when he became president of the Dragon's Inferno MC. He cares about his people. He takes care of them. He was upfront with me, taking care of his MC and those he considered to be his would always be his priority. And I agreed to that, I joined him in that mission, throwing myself into becoming the perfect old lady of the prez. Smile Maddie. Act happy Maddie. Take care of them and maybe they'll love you. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't complain and maybe he'll love you. I told myself I was independent. I was strong. And I didn't need my Dragon to take care of me. And I almost believed it. Almost. But now I'm watching him with her. I'm watching him comfort her. I'm watching him listen to her, support her, reassure her. I'm watching him take time from his day to check in with her. I'm watching him worry about her. I'm watching them become closer right in front of my eyes. I'm seeing every thoughtful gesture he does for her. And me? I'm not happy. I'm not smiling. I'm done being agreeable. Fuck not causing trouble. I'm about to set my Dragon's world on fire. And then I'm walking away. She can have him. For the first time in my life, I'm choosing myself.

I always thought we were destined to be together. A decade together and what seemed like the perfect love story. Until one day, it slowly started to unravel at the seams. I realized our "perfect" love story only looked so perfect because I was being complacent. Once I started to speak up for myself, the facade crumbled and it all came crashing down. This is my story.

Joy thought having their daughter would bring them closer. Instead, motherhood made her invisible. Six months after Emily's birth, Joy's world is sleepless nights, spit-up-stained shirts, and the ache of doing it all alone. Rowdy says he's trying-looking for work, trying to be present-but when his best friend Becca offers him a job, it feels like another door closing. Because Becca has always wanted him. And this time, Joy isn't sure he'll say no. When late-night texts turn into secrets and laughter that used to belong to her, Joy realizes it's not an affair she can prove; it's one she can feel. And when she finally walks away, Rowdy has to decide if the comfort he found in Becca was ever worth losing the family he built with Joy. ⭐The entire first draft is available for subs on Patreon.

The world that once welcomed her suddenly judged her, and she learned the hardest lesson of all - loving honestly doesn't always mean being loved back kindly. Years later, Adira lives quietly, far from the girl she used to be. She runs a small café, keeps her distance from people, and trusts no one. Then he walks in. Kabir - the man she once loved... now holding the hand of a two-year-old boy. And the child looks at her like she already belongs in his world. Old wounds reopen. Unspoken truths resurface. And the past refuses to stay buried. Sometimes fate and destiny meet in the most unexpected ways - and second chances come when you least expect them.
