Emma Woodhouse, aged 20 at the start of the novel, is a young, beautiful, witty, and privileged woman in Regency England. She lives on the fictional estate of Hartfield in Surrey in the village of Highbury with her elderly widowed father, a hypochondriac who is excessively concerned for the health and safety of his loved ones. Emma's friend and only critic is the gentlemanly George Knightley, her neighbour from the adjacent estate of Donwell, and the brother of her elder sister Isabella's husband, John. As the novel opens, Emma has just attended the wedding of Miss Taylor, her best friend and former governess. Having introduced Miss Taylor to her future husband, Mr. Weston, Emma takes credit for their marriage, and decides that she rather likes matchmaking.

It started on Wattpad but now is EVERYWHERE! With a bestselling book by WWBG, a captivating Webcomic on Webtoon, and a film adaptation by Wattpad WEBTOON studios, you can read, scroll, or watch - there's an experience for everyone to dive into Waverly and Blake's journey. ***** In order to fit in during her summer visit to a beachside town, Waverly must take swimming lessons from Blake, the moody (but gorgeous) lifeguard next door. ***** Seventeen-year-old Waverly Lyons is from Alaska. She doesn't do sun. But after her divorced parents can't agree on who gets to have her for the summer, Waverly gets shipped off to Holden, Florida, to spend a couple months with her aunt, Rachel. There's one minor hiccup: Blake Hamilton, Rachel's seventeen-year-old neighbor. He's athletic, outgoing, arrogant, tan, and pretty much Waverly's exact opposite. She's eager to avoid him at all costs, hoping to fit in with the other kids in Holden without drawing too much attention to herself. But when Blake discovers that Waverly has been hiding the rather embarrassing secret that she can't swim, he does the unthinkable: He offers to teach her. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]

"Etiquette and politeness according to me, need to be treated right. That is, it needs to be given to the right people." "And I think that you believe that 99.99% of people don't deserve that." His lips curved to hint an arrogant smile. "Invariably." "Don't you think that depicts derision for normalcy? Not everyone can be perfect enough to receive your impeccable politeness." "You must realize one thing, Ms. Kapoor, I don't like anything short of excellence. So, I extend my graciousness accordingly." ..... Yeah. And that's just one tiny conversation with him. Being Sameera Kapoor, I cant tell you that the name would bring you some great responses. Most of which would talk about my ability to disregard rules and talk my way out of things. Teachers, of course, might have another opinion. But when my boss, the ever-so-esteemed Robert Davidson, recruited me, I should have thought of the repercussions that could result then and there. The repercussions started after he demanded for an audience with Vidhyuth Chopra. We-el. Easier said than done, mister. We are talking about a Devil here. A grey eyed, arrogant looking, sculpted face bearing, accented, ultra successful Devil, who has taken an immediate and intense dislike for me. Now, now, now, its not like I am one of his serial fangirls too, talk about a dire need for an Attitude Adjustment. Anyway, in the advent of this, mysteries get solved, pasts get dug and brought up, closure is in the verge of getting- closed? (I am sorry, it's kind of difficult to talk deep stuff about myself), and I, Sameera Kapoor, along with a crazy set of people go through life as a fantastic 24 year old. So hop in! Lets have some fun! WELCOME! Get ready to love me! Copyright guys. No imitation of this work is permissible.
