MONTANA He was the love of my life-until he left me standing in the wreckage of our marriage. Five years later, Jared Manelis is a world champion boxer, and the father of my daughters. The man he is today is galaxies away from the boy with blood on his knuckles who once promised me forever. Now a stranger, with the world at his fingertips and a talent for irritating me to no end. But when he's left fighting for his life after a championship match, everything changes. Suddenly, the man who broke me is back inside the walls I built to keep him out. Now he's asking questions we've both avoided for years; while our present battles to keep us apart, our past fights to be brought to the light and bind us together again. JARED Five years ago, fame, pride, and one stupid choice cost me my marriage-and the family I'd always dreamed of. Now I'm with a woman I don't love, have an ex who smiles at everyone but me, and a daughter too nervous to meet my eyes. Then I'm shot after the biggest night of my career-and all I can see is her. When death caresses your cheek, you know it's time to fight for what you want. So I force my way back into her world, where she can't ignore me anymore, and begin my fight for the truth, a chance to be us again. I'll remind her why she chose me all those years ago and show her why I'm worth choosing again.

[ONGOING] DEREK I loved my wife. I still do. But love didn't stop me from choosing desire over loyalty-or convincing myself I'd fix the damage before she noticed. I thought regret would be enough. It wasn't. MALORY When I discovered my husband's affair, I stayed for our daughter. She was only eleven months old, and I refused to give her the childhood I survived. But three years of empty rooms, broken promises, and watching him choose another woman carved something hollow inside me-until someone else filled it. I finally realised, my daughter deserves more than an absent father. And I deserve better than a cheating husband. Cancelled Mistakes is a dark, emotionally raw story of betrayal, forbidden love, and the brutal truth that some choices destroy everything-and asking forgiveness doesn't mean you deserve it. This book is strictly for mature audience🔞 Trigger warnings: This book contains on-page cheating.

Adrianna was happily living her life with her friends at Blythswood Ebonvale Academy, an exclusive boarding school where only the children of the elite are admitted. That was until one fateful day when everything changed. The sudden appearance of her famous yet terrifying older brothers shattered her peaceful life. The story she believed about her biological parents was nothing but a carefully constructed lie. Could the arrival of her brothers be mere coincidence, or is there more to their presence than meets the eye? Will Augusta finally experience the family bond and love she's only ever witnessed through her friends' families? Join Adrianna as she embarks on a journey to uncover her place in this enigmatic family, where everyone seems to love and hate each other in their own peculiar way. This is not the typical cliché Wattpad story of siblings where the older brothers are shining knight in armor and the sister is poor and has endured a life of abuse. Adrianna is not a damsel in distress, but a girl who embodies the perfect balance of warmth and cold resilience. Started: 1st September 2024 Ended: Jan 2026

Claire Montgomery is what you might call a mean girl. Cold, sharp-tongued, and perpetually unimpressed, she hates happy people, people who laugh too hard, and-most of all-people who won't shut up about their families. Disgusting. But after having her heart shattered by the only man who was ever kind to her, she does something wildly out of character-she takes a trip. Alone. No drama, no responsibilities, no past. What she doesn't expect is Ian Castillo. Loud. Overly enthusiastic. Obnoxiously good-looking. Worst of all? A family man. His entire family adopts her instantly, despite her scowls. His nieces and nephews invade her house. His mom feeds her like a lost puppy. And Ian? Ian is the worst of them all. He flirts shamelessly. Is overly kind and forgiving of her. Refuses to let her be alone. And yet... Why does her heart race when he looks at her like that? Why does she, the Ice Heiress, suddenly wonder what it's like to belong somewhere? And when her past comes calling-will she fight for happiness? Or will she do what she's always done-run? [Book 3 in the Billionaire Falls In Love Series] This story is coming soon!

After being rejected by her husband and Alpha in front of half the werewolf world, Allison does the only thing left that makes sense- she walks away. Heartbroken but unbowed, she rebuilds from the ground up, turning her experience as a Luna into something new: Luna's Compass, a consultancy that fixes the messes other packs are too proud to admit they made. No attachments. No politics. No pity. But fate has a sense of humor. Her newest client, Gordon Hale, is a widowed Alpha raising three daughters and holding his pack together by sheer will. What starts as a six-month contract becomes something far more complicated- professionally, politically, and painfully personal. Between grief, politics, and the slow burn of something she swore she'd never feel again, Allison must learn that fate isn't about who you're tied to - It's about who you become when the bond breaks.

⚠️ CHAPTER 41+ ARE PAID CONTENT VIA KO-FI ⚠️ ── ─ ┈┈┈┄┄╌╌ The De Luca brothers reign supreme in the underworld, holding dominion over the ruthless realm of the Italian Mafia. They are cold, merciless, driven by madness, their loyalty solely to blood. Yet, their lives take an unexpected turn when they discovered their thirteen years old little sister. *** "When she was choking me, is that... love?" she whispered, her voice barely audible, each word trembling as if afraid to leave her lips. Her eyes, wide and glassy, searched mine desperately, seeking a truth that she couldn't grasp amidst the fog of confusion and despair that clouded her mind. My heart seethed with rage, a torrent of emotions crashing against the walls of my restraint, threatening to betray the stoic facade I had carefully constructed. I wanted to scream, to shake her out of this misguided belief. Hestia, my little sister, stared back at me. Her innocence tainted by the cruel hands of someone who had twisted the meaning of love into something unrecognizable. She couldn't differentiate the painfully obvious truth, the clear distinction between love and control, kindness and cruelty. It was as if the very essence of her spirit was being suffocated, just as her breath had been. ── ─ ┈┈┈┄┄╌╌ [⚠️ Chapter 41+ are paid content via Ko-fi ⚠️] ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This story contains sensitive and potentially distressing themes, including abuse, sexual assault, rape, psychological trauma, and mature content.
