Everything that glitters ain't gold & everything that shines ain't silver.
There's not always a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow. But a rainbow will always appear after every shower of rain. It's not always noticeable because the beauty of it is way over our heads. But the fact that the rainbow is an illusion of beauty of mother nature. What is natural beauty? What is beauty inside and out? What does it mean when someone thinks your perfect when you're not? Is it the confusion you get when looking at the rainfall while the sun beats its way through just to see you?

Claimed By The Ruler Of The World
*HE BOUGHT ME FOR ONE NIGHT... NOW HE OWNS MY HEART 💔👑* *What would you do if your one-night stand turned out to be a BILLIONAIRE... and the father of your baby?* --- "What is that?" "Your future." He opened the box, revealing a diamond that caught the light and threw it back in brilliant, cold sparks. "We're getting married." "We're what?" Star's voice cracked. "Are you insane?" "I'm practical. You're pregnant with my child. In my world, that means marriage." "In my world, that means two people who barely know each other shouldn't make life-altering decisions based on one night." "Your world is over." The words were delivered with such calm finality that Star felt the floor shift beneath her feet. "The moment you got pregnant, you entered mine. And in my world, I protect what's mine." "I'm not yours." "The baby is." He picked up a thick document from his desk. "Marriage contract. Very generous terms. You'll have everything you need, house, security, unlimited credit. The child will bear my name and receive my protection." Star stared at the contract, the words blurring as tears she refused to shed burned her eyes. "And what do you get?" "A wife who understands her place. A child raised properly. No custody battles, no media circuses, no complications." "And love?" Something in his expression hardened even further. "Love is a luxury neither of us can afford. This is about security, stability, and giving our child the best possible life. _________________ MOST IMPRESSIVE RANKINGS🏅 #1 in Steamy 10/11/25 #1 in Emotion 19/10/25 #1 in Triangle 11/11/25 #1 in Contract 06/10/25 #2 in Pregnancy 2/10/25 #1 in Mafia. 10/01/26 #1 in Jealous. 19/02/26 READ TO FIND OUT! 💕 New chapters every week!

Love over contract
***Completed*** *Mature Content Warning* TW: Car accident, Depression, sexual content His touch made me shiver as I couldn't take my eyes off of his, trailing down at his lips. We were so close again. Closer than anytime before. „I-.",I started to stop anything we both were going to regret. „Shhh. Don't say anything",he said against my lips as our nosetips brushed agains each other. „Have you found your dresses?",he asked as his thumb brushed over my lips making me weak in my knees. I nodded softly looking at his eyes wich were attached to my lips. „I can't wait to see you in them",he whispered against my lips before placing soft kisses on the edge of them. I closed my eyes breathed out loud in pleasure. His teasing wasn't as useful as he thought. My patience won. „Your patience is kiling me","The contract",I whispered."Fuck that contract"he bursted and pulled me closer by the waist before pressing his lips on mine. ---------------------------- Delana Celine Harvey a 18 year old girl, faces the hart consequences of losing her supporting and loving family due to a car accident.

Someone Like You | Sample
When I met him on a rainy afternoon the air smelt like gardenias. My black oxford pumps were soaked from accidentally stepping on a puddle, and the tiny yellow umbrella I held up barely saved me from the chilly rain. When I met him on a rainy afternoon, the sky was pink and blue. I was starving and almost craving to smell the stuffy scent of my closed up home's small living room. When I met him on a rainy afternoon, his son held my feet out of the blue and called me 'mum'. He rushed out of the restaurant only seconds later, his cheeks a pale flushed hue. When I met him one day on a rainy afternoon, he looked up into my eyes and apologized. And inside my head, I thought to myself... what a lovely way to meet a lovely man on such a lovely rainy afternoon. ••••••-••••••-••••••-••••••-••••••-•••••• 1st Draft - 15/03/18 2nd Draft - 08/08/20 Published : 28/08/21 | Paperback & Kindle Cover : Sierra Po Trailer : bobaComplete
