FACADE
fəˈsɑːd/ : a deceptive outward appearance.
"Everyone is broken," he says, his voice in a different place than our bodies. "They just like to pretend they're not." I watch as his brown eyes tear at mine. "It's like a mask no one is willing to take off."

Viciously in Love
Check out my Instagram page: gold_n_dark for aesthetics and songs for the chapters. One in a million. The chances of them meeting were one in a million. And yet... They met. And more came. Neither of them met love until now. Each one had different reasons. One was too stubborn, arrogant, heartless and careless to want love; the other one was too kind, happy, hopefull, optimist and dreamy to see the love around her. Maybe that's why they attracted each other. Because they completed each other. The good - her - and the bad - him. But not quite... She could also be strubborn, grumpy, proud, impulsive; and he... he would be wearing a mask. A mask which made him seem harsh and impassive. But once he would take the mask off, it would relieve the wounds, the pain, the worries, the hope and above all, the love. They have many things in common and at the same time they are completely different. They could've not met, and yet they did. They could've not fallen in love, and yet they did. They could've forget and move on, and yet, they couldn't. In Nicole and Jake's story, at the beginning everything is about hate and how they can't stand each other, about how they would give anything to not be near each other. But everything ends with love and about love. Their love. And how it consumes them and it drives them insane. But they love that. This is their story. Nicole and Jake's story. It's about love: being in love and loving someone; about being broken and hurt and hurting the people around you; about growing up and becoming an adult. It's about being human.Complete

To those who dream with open eyes and hearts
Every girl desires three things in her life: a loyal best friend, top-tier grades, and a flawless romance However, fate loves to throw unexpected curves. Instead of a tragic tale, I simply craved a sweet fairytale with a happily ever after. In the aftermath of Audrey's death. Life became a series of storms. I encountered new faces, weathered the challenges, and even found myself a wonderful boyfriend. Yet, just when the warmth of happiness touched my fingertips, the storyline unexpectedly shifted, revealing another layer of complexity. Dating the most popular guy from school feels like a dream fulfilled, but am I truly happy? I always believed I was the good girl with good grades, only to unveil buried desires-longings to be chased, tamed, and tied Entwined in a world where light dances with darkness, and villains lurk in the shadows. A single doubt, and I've sabotaged my fate with my own hands. The desires I once craved in the shadows have become dangerous-risks of my own imagination. Now, dreaming is no longer an option; all I can do is run. In the twisted dance of fate, I never planned to entangle with a psychopath. No girl dreams of such darkness, yet our meeting felt like a forbidden ritual, and every touch, a dangerous spell. His winter-grey eyes held a mysterious allure that captivated me, but little did I know, staring into them would unleash a storm of trouble. Now, I'm pursued by a relentless predator who sees me as his lost love, a perilous game where escape seems impossible. Stuck in his tight grasp, there's no getting away from Carson Winter Grey. Hiding is useless; he's like a really creepy guy-obsessed, toxic, and great at messing with your head. You can't shake off his looming threat. He's not just a bad dream; he's the kind that sticks around. Before anxiety takes over, his name becomes the scream you can't hold back.Complete![𝐀𝐠𝐚𝐫 𝐓𝐮𝐦 𝐊𝐚𝐡𝐨- [𝙱𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 𝚋𝚢 𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/376198620-256-k904915.jpg)

FINDING OUR WAY BACK
Avalon has the good look, good grades, friends, three wonderful brothers, caring and loving parents. Everyone would think she has everything, and that was probably true a few years ago. But life is unpredictable, and after some bad events, her life is turned upside down. The once cheerful, bubbly, and always smiling girl is now a beautiful mess. Between nightmares, panic attacks, insomnia, and more, she starts hating this town she cherishes so much and everything that brings her memories. That's why she decided to leave and never come back again, at least until she is in a better state. After three years in France, she is back in her childhood town and decided that she will chase away her demons for good. She knows that she can't do it alone, she needs her family and her friends. And perhaps she will find peace and maybe more with the most unexpected person for her. *** "You're important to me, V. You're my first everything, and I don't want anyone else." "Do you say that to all your conquests?" "No. Because there are no others. It's only ever been you."Complete
Aphrodite's Beauty
Aphrodite lives in a town where beautiful looks mean more than a beautiful personality. Looks are everything, so the fact that Aphrodite doesn't dress in the most up to date clothes or wear makeup but instead chooses to place influence on people's personalities means that she is considered weird. So when her best friend decides to sign her up for a makeover show will she be able to stay true to herself and find love or will she lose herself, everything and everyone she holds dear. The most important lesson she learns is that it is what's on the inside that counts.Complete![𝐃𝐄𝐄𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐈 - [𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙻𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚞𝚊𝚐𝚎 𝙾𝚏 𝚂𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚗𝚝 𝙳𝚎𝚟𝚘𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/379943301-256-k473474.jpg)

The Last Whisper
I wear a mask so well that even I almost believe it. Almost. Then I met him. His eyes were hollow, his smile a lie-just like mine. In him, I saw my own reflection, the same quiet suffering hidden beneath perfect façades. For the first time, I wasn't alone. But happiness is always fleeting. One moment, he was there. The next, he was gone. A fall from a rooftop. A life stolen too soon. Now, the world feels unreal. Shadows shift. Whispers grow louder. And in the corner of my vision, I still see him. If he's gone... why does it feel like he never left?
