Eighteen-year-old hockey prodigy Elliot Wexler has three goals for senior year. One: somehow graduate with a 3.5 GPA. Two: hide his bipolar disorder from his peers. And three: make it into the NHL with no scandals. Piece of cake. What he doesn't expect is to find Lucy, a homeless girl, hiding from the winter frost in his dad's shed. Elliot's busy, complicated life doesn't permit room for error, and falling in love with a girl from a totally different world sounds like the opposite of a good idea. But Elliot can't help but be drawn to Lucy and her elusive ways--even when she seems to vanish from his life non-stop, each time leaving him with a bigger hole in his heart. But Elliot is determined to break down Lucy's barriers. And when he does, he discovers that her life is more complicated--and dangerous--than he could have imagined. With drafting season approaching, and Elliot's fragile mental health deteriorating, he's forced to face a difficult question: Is first love supposed to hurt so much? *** PLEASE DO NOT ADD THIS STORY TO GOODREADS.

Dhriti never believed in happy endings. Aarav Kumar was her beginning and her forever, the boy who raised her dreams and loved her like she was the only truth in his world. But fate was crueler than love. He was declared dead, leaving her with a heart that no longer knew how to beat the same way. And then came Arjun Srivastav. A marriage not born from love, but from circumstance. Two strangers forced into a life neither of them asked for. For a long time, their home was nothing but silence, distance, and unspoken pain. Until one night changed everything. A helpless mute baby, barely ten months old, was found abandoned in Arjun's arms. A child with no voice, and no one to call his own. Something in Dhriti broke when she saw him. And in that breaking, a choice was made. They adopted him. What started as responsibility slowly became something neither of them could ignore. A reason to stay. A reason to try. A reason to look at each other beyond the walls they built. But love is never simple when the past still breathes in the present. One heart still belongs to memory. One heart is learning to feel. And a child without a voice might just become the reason two broken souls learn how to be a family. Because sometimes, healing doesn't come from love first. It comes from learning to stay. Mafia ×Doctor Oprhan × Billionaire Forced marriage Slow burn Obsessed for eachother Past trauma Hidden Identity
