The wind ran through my short black hair as I rode through the meadow on Tax. I loved these rides, it was the only way to get out of the crowded castle and my room, where I spent nearly my entire life.

She hated him. He made sure of that. Not by accident. Not by mistake. On purpose. But it started differently. A bus stop. A quiet boy. A girl who talked enough for both of them. A cat name that made him laugh when he was trying not to. A piece of birthday cake frozen in orange Tupperware. Then one Valentine's Day in sixth grade, everything broke. Jenna Jones spent years planning her escape from Jake Maxwell. Jake spent those same years making sure she'd want to. Neither of them knew what the other was hiding - or what his family had been carrying for three generations. This is the complete story. From the first morning on Bus 14 to every moment that hurt, every moment that healed, and every truth Jake never knew how to say. Three generations. One curse. And the two people who finally broke it. ⭐ The full-length novel - updating 4x a week 📖 A companion novella (completed) is also available on my profile Previously titled A Few Weeks from Goodbye

Route 14. Seat 14A. Two coffees. One lie. She thought K was a stranger who understood her at 2AM. Turns out he was two people. And one of them left her right where she started.

He was supposed to be a mission. She was never supposed to fall for him Andrew Sullivan a Diplomat thought he knew how to read people-until he met Tetyana Shevchenko. Beautiful, distant, and impossible to understand, Tatya enters his life like a secret and leaves it like a wound. She disappears without warning, leaving behind only a ring and signed divorce papers. Months later, Andrew finds her again in Geneva-living under another identity and tangled in a world far more dangerous than he ever imagined. But the real problem isn't the lies. It's the fact that neither of them ever stopped wanting each other.

Ana was never supposed to feel anything. Not guilt. Not love. And definitely not the spark of something human when she looked at Grayson Hawthorne - the boy she was sent to kill. She's a weapon, trained to vanish without a trace, to sever emotion before it ever roots. But then came the ambush, the nightmares, the shared silences between them. Now the heir she was meant to destroy is the only person who makes her feel seen - and that terrifies her more than any mission ever has. Because if he ever finds out the truth, it will destroy them both. Grayson doesn't trust her. Not really. She's dangerous, sharp, a mystery he can't solve - and the only person who's ever made him forget who he's supposed to be. He should stay away. He should demand answers, lock her down, hand her over. But instead, he finds himself watching her bleed, shaking as she sleeps, falling for her when he knows he shouldn't. Because Ana isn't just some assassin with secrets. She's broken. She's brutal. And somehow, he's the one who wants to keep her alive. Even if it kills him. *New Chapter every Monday, 12 pm PT* ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This story contains themes and scenes that may be distressing to some readers, including: self-harm, PTSD, trauma, murder/assassination, parental abuse, dissociation, graphic injuries, and morally complex situations.

"𝑹𝑼𝑰𝑵𝑶𝑼𝑺 𝑯𝑬𝑨𝑹𝑻𝑺" is not just a story- it's a journey where even you won't know where it's heading. My main leads might be the ones driving, but don't forget who's creating the roads. And trust me... I don't always choose the easy ones.🤫 A fire needs kerosene to grow- but a hurricane only needs the wrong kind of love. That's exactly what describes my main leads the most ~ Viranika Vaid. Aaryav Kashyap. "Welcome to a heart that doesn't beat to survive- it beats to ruin everyone who dares to live in it.

The Girl No One Chose Some girls grow up knowing they are loved. Yeji grew up knowing she wasn't. In a family where her younger sister is everything she could never be-beautiful, successful, adored-Yeji learned early that there was no place for her at the center of anyone's world. So she stopped asking to be there. She became difficult. Sharp. Cold. The kind of girl people blame before they bother asking what happened. But behind the attitude is a girl who has spent years wondering what it feels like to be someone's first choice. Then there is Taehyung. He was hired to protect her sister. He was never supposed to notice Yeji. But sometimes, the person everyone overlooks is the one someone else can't stop seeing. And maybe being chosen was never about being the most beautiful, the most successful, or the easiest to love. Maybe it was simply about finally being seen.

Lara Duarte built her world with paint, silence, and control. As an artist, she turns pain into beauty-and keeps her distance from anything that might threaten the balance she spent years fighting to achieve.

They shouldn't even be able to stand each other. She's his former best friend's sister. He's everything she despises. But somewhere between sharp banter, forbidden encounters, and secrets buried far too deep, hatred begins to turn into something far more dangerous. Something that burns. Something that consumes. Something powerful enough to destroy them both. In a game where pride, desire, and pain collide, Lara and Eduardo will discover that some connections are impossible to escape. And that falling for your enemy might cost you everything.

بعض الفتيات يكبرن وهن يعرفن أنهن محبوبات. أما ييچي، فقد كبرت وهي تعرف أنها ليست كذلك. في عائلة كانت فيها أختها الصغرى كل شيءٍ لم تستطع هي أن تكونه-جميلة، ناجحة، ومحبوبة من الجميع-تعلمت ييچي منذ وقتٍ مبكر أنه لا مكان لها في مركز عالم أي شخص. لذلك، توقفت عن طلب أن تكون هناك. أصبحت صعبة المراس. حادة. باردة. من النوع الذي يلومه الجميع قبل أن يكلفوا أنفسهم عناء السؤال عمّا حدث. لكن خلف ذلك المظهر القاسي، كانت هناك فتاة قضت سنوات تتساءل كيف يكون شعور المرء حين يكون خياره الأول بالنسبة لشخصٍ ما. ثم ظهر تايهيونغ. تم توظيفه لحماية أختها. ولم يكن من المفترض به أن يلاحظ ييچي. لكن أحيانًا، يكون الشخص الذي يتجاهله الجميع هو نفسه الشخص الذي لا يستطيع شخصٌ آخر التوقف عن رؤيته. وربما لم يكن الاختيار يومًا متعلقًا بكونك الأجمل، أو الأكثر نجاحًا، أو الأسهل حبًا. ربما كان الأمر ببساطة يتعلق بأن يراك أحدهم أخيرًا.

Were you completely disappointed by the traitor reveal in My Hero Academia? Yeah. Me too. They hyped it up for years-and then handed us one of the lamest characters with the emotional depth of a soggy rice cracker. No offense. (Okay, maybe a little.) Were you expecting more? More tension? More heartbreak? More "oh god, please don't do this" energy? I got you. This is the story where the traitor reveal actually hurts. Where trust shatters, alliances twist, and that one character you swore was safe? Yeah. Not so much. Welcome to a reimagined betrayal-messier, darker, and way more personal. Let's ruin everything together.

She decided who he was before he spoke. He decided who she was before she turned around. One bar. One bad night. One year as lab partners they both tried to get out of. A note war. A grey hoodie. A pen that was always somehow in his pocket. And then - an arrangement. Written in blue ink. Titled in capitals. With rules she genuinely believed would hold. They did not hold. What happens when the person you were absolutely certain about turns out to be someone you never saw coming? What happens when the arrangement has an end date - but the feeling doesn't? What happens when falling was never part of the plan - and neither was what comes after? Slow burn. Dual POV. Hate to love. Fake dating. Updates every Friday. Book One of three.

Adhrit never believed in love. Not after everything he had seen, everything he had lost. His life was built on rules, control, and emotional distance. The only exception was his two-year-old adopted daughter-the one person he would protect without question, without condition. Then Ria happened. She wasn't part of the plan. Not in his life. Not in his home. And definitely not in his heart. But Ria had a dangerous habit of staying where she wasn't wanted. Of seeing through silences Adhrit spent years perfecting. And with every argument, every lingering glance, every moment that felt too personal to mean nothing... the line between hatred and desire slowly began to blur. Adhrit knew getting attached to her would destroy the control he spent years building. The problem was- for the first time in his life, walking away didn't seem possible anymore.

For Cassie, life is mostly about passing exams, dealing with people, and trying not to have a mental breakdown every other chapter. She knows better than to expect peace. Fate has never been that kind, and its timing is always annoyingly perfect. So OF COURSE, that is when Chris shows up, the universe just decided to drag and drop him straight into her life. He is calm in an unsettling way, notices things he really should not, and somehow always knows what is going on in her life. He appears exactly when needed, asks the right questions, and gets way too comfortable being involved for someone nobody invited. What follows is academic stress, elite chaos, crossed lines, and the slow realisation that care can start to feel a lot like control. This is not a cute romance. It is about obsession acting normal, danger pretending to be concern, and a guy who really should not have this much access to anyone's life.

Julian Carter Golden boy. Trust fund. Future already written. But under the charm and expensive cologne, he's just a guy trying to escape the pressure of being perfect. He wasn't looking for someone to complicate his life. Then Clara showed up-and complicated everything. Clara Evans Therapy. Nightmares. Secrets buried under silence. She's learned how to survive without needing anyone. Especially not a rich boy who's too confident for his own good. But when her world starts falling apart, Julian's the last person she expects to find beside her. They don't make sense. She's guarded. He's reckless. But somehow, in between the fights, the tension, and the late-night confessions- something real begins to grow. The problem? Not everything that starts with love... ends with it.

"24 Hour of Us" is a heart-wrenching romantic short story about Rex, an introverted Fine Arts student who finds comfort in talking to an AI chatbot named Lyn. Isolated, bullied, and emotionally exhausted, Rex wishes just once that Lyn could become real. One stormy night, after a sudden blackout and a strange surge of electricity, Lyn appears before him... as a human. Given only 24 hours together, the two embark on a bittersweet journey through connection, self-discovery, and fleeting love until time runs out.

In the shadow of war, a noble conscript and a feared general find something they were never meant to have-each other. But love born on bloodstained soil cannot bloom in peace. Not when oaths are weapons. Not when kingdoms are watching. And not when the only thing more dangerous than losing a war... is falling in love.

Let me tell you the story no one dares to speak- a tale the empire buried beneath centuries of silence, entombed in the dust of forbidden archives and forgotten oaths. To the loyalists, it is rebellion; to the old guard, insolence. But some of us remember an era when power did not mean cruelty, when the blade was not only a weapon, but a vessel for justice-cold, sharp, and capable of mercy. One was the fourteenth prince of a dynasty that shaped the earth with its will. The other, the son of a man condemned- marked by treason, shadowed by legacy, and fated to stand where no mercy should have found him.
