    Death. A beautiful mercy some long for, yet never receive. They say it's the end-but why hasn't it been hers? Perhaps it's the gods whispering: Right the mistakes of the past. Her life was never truly hers. Gilded in jewels and fine silks, she lived a fragile peace-until her father shattered it. He forced her into a loveless marriage with the Archduke, a union meant to mend family grudges but brought her nothing but humiliation. While her husband loved another-a commoner-she faded into the background, forgotten. Still, she clung to peace. But her father had other plans. He used her to betray the only man she ever loved, pushing her into a fatal mistake. Yet death was not the end. It was only the beginning. #1 - secondchance #1- powerfulwoman #1- politicalmarriage #1- wattpadoriginals

    "She was never meant to exist. He was born to destroy her. At Edelmare Academy, secrets don't stay buried for long." Evara Richards thought she was just another transfer student. But Edelmare Academy is no ordinary school-it's a place where bloodlines decide fate, where whispers of prophecy haunt the halls, and where some secrets are powerful enough to kill for. Reano Madriff, the academy's golden heir, carries the weight of a kingdom on his shoulders. He knows the prophecy, he knows the danger, and he knows Evara is the one person he should never get close to. But when friendships form, loyalties break, and ancient wounds resurface, Evara will be forced to question everything she's ever known-about her past, her powers, and herself. Some truths are better left hidden. Some fates can't be escaped. And some hearts burn brightest in the dark.

    An abusive mom. A basketball court that keeps her sane. And two best friends who remind her she's still human. Kayla Blackwood has mastered the art of pretending she's fine. She buries her pain deep, hides her scars behind sarcasm, and lets basketball drown out the noise in her head. But then comes Ethan Slade - the new transfer student with that chaotic British accent, stupidly good looks, and an annoying habit of seeing right through her walls. He's everything she didn't ask for - and exactly what she needs. This isn't your typical high school story where a girl meets a boy and everything magically falls into place. Broken Pieces is about the cracks we hide, the trauma we carry, and the people who teach us that healing isn't pretty... but it's possible. Trigger Warning: Mentions of abuse, trauma, and depression. If you're easily triggered, please proceed with care - I'll try to give heads-ups before certain chapters. Do not try to steal my work btw, I'd send angels to come give you a dirty hard knock😂

    M for manipulative (only 50% now). A for attitude (always 100%). I for impulsive (cut in half). S for sarcastic (full strength). I for irresistible (you're welcome). E for emotionally unavailable (...still climbing). I used to be alone. Beaten, bruised, and begging for someone to stay. My mother never believed I was worth loving over men, and the men in my life made sure I believed her. Then I hit rock bottom-prison-level rock bottom. And he showed up. Levi. A cop who should've walked away. Instead, he fought for me. Protected me. Taught me kindness... and then love. But that was before. Now he's gone. And I'm not sure what's left of me this time.

A brilliant, self-made billionaire and the secret CEO of one of the world's most powerful companies, she hides behind a cold and distant persona. No one knows her true identity. No one knows the tragedy that took everything from her - except the four-year-old son she protects with her life. Her heart is locked away. Her past is buried deep. Her power is a secret. But danger has begun creeping back from the shadows she escaped.

Assassins want her erased. The world wants her identity exposed. And fate wants her beside the king she never intended to love. He vows to guard her. She refuses to need him.
