We'll meet again. by feaqthrs

Then there was a larger folder labeled Madison Elizabeth Mitchell. I took the folder from its slot and took it to my room. I opened the folder and saw papers that changed my life. They were adoption papers. My adoptions papers. This made more sense, why my 'parents' hated me so much, why I was never invited to family events. But why would they lie to me about this? They hated me so much why wouldn't the just rub it in my face that I wasn't really related to them? ------------------------------ ~This is two different fan fictions put into one~ ~I do not own any character except the ones I create. They all belong to Shonda Rhimes~ *there is a reason it is two different fanfics into one story line so bare with me* ----------------------------

Unknown Sensations by bhes_thenovelist

Dr. Harley McKesie has spent her life mending what's broken - hearts, homes, and children forgotten by the world. Her dream to build The Children's Haven is all that keeps her moving. But when fate throws her into the path of Spencer Thompson - the brilliant, ruthless CEO known for his cold precision - her carefully balanced world begins to tremble. Spencer doesn't feel - not the way others do. His world is built on order, contracts, and silence. Yet from the moment Harley storms into his life, something awakens in him - an unknown sensation that defies everything his mind can rationalize. As Harley's faith challenges his logic, and his power threatens her peace, both are forced to confront what lies beneath control - vulnerability, longing, and the terrifying possibility of love. But when secrets, lies, and buried pain surface, will the unknown between them bring redemption... or ruin? A slow-burn romance of faith, control, and the healing power of love - set against the heart of South Africa. #1-wishfulthinking! ❤️As of 10 September 2021 #3-wishfulthinking! as of 15 August 2022
