Are you fan of This Is Us? Of stories that follow the lives of multiple characters and connect them in new and exciting ways? Then this story is for you! Step into the voyeuristic world of New York City's most exclusive apartment, where secrets are aired like dirty laundry. 

The Watley building in New York prides itself on charm, appeal, and exclusivity. But its Fifth Avenue address comes with a slew of tenants carrying their own peculiar baggage.

Madeline Mills, young, ambitious, and nearly penniless, leaves every morning through the service entrance to avoid the building manager. 

Elena Margova, blonde, overextended, and whip smart, prays to the gods that her children will one day accept potty training. 

Brian Cooper, nervous, lanky, and analytical, avoids answering his phone and owning up to missed deadlines. 

David Finlay, balding, tired, and vigorless, lumbers through the park, wondering where his life has gone. 

Agatha Newman, wrinkled, cynical, and shrewd, sits atop her penthouse balcony and sneers down at the passersby. 

Phineas Watley, blotchy, high-strung, and enthusiastic, dreams of shaping his ancestor's estate into something wonderful. 

They watch each other's lives unfold from behind the curtains of their windows, each their own special star in the Watley building's galaxy. But sometimes those stars collide, and either something new is born, or the entire universe crumbles into dust.  

These are their stories.

The Men Next Door by wildfirehoney
47 parts Complete Mature
✅ Complete ✅ When Campbell Kramer accepted a job offer in Manhattan, she never could've imagined what the city had in store for her. Namely, two handsome men who live on either side of her new apartment. One is older, one is younger. One is introverted, one is extroverted. One is serious, one is playful. Both of them want her attention. What could go wrong? ☲☲☲☲☲ ☆Brooks☆ My neighbor was the one to close the distance between us. She did it quickly--like she was scared the moment would pass away forever if she let another millisecond go by--and I rested my hand on the side of her face to steady her. Something about my touch must have given her courage. ♡Campbell♡ The men finally greeted each other while I snipped the green, woody stems and plopped them into the tallest mug I owned. Their sentences were short and awkward, and as I rearranged the blooms for the umpteenth time, the realization that they'd told each other what happened hit me like a south-bound train. I don't know why I didn't expect that. They were best friends, after all. I was just the girl next door. They had no loyalty to me, no reason to keep our time together a secret. ☆Luca☆ Her lips met mine slowly, softly, hesitantly--like she wasn't so sure kissing her neighbor was the best idea--and I responded just as delicately. But when her hand made its way into the back of my hair, our bodies melded together like a lust-struck alloy. And the only hope of separating us was to add more heat. ☲☲☲☲☲ Featured by: 📙 @Wattpad • Love Triangles 💘😈 (July 2025) • Spicy Summer Reads (July 2024) • Endless Reading Mode 🧡 (Jan 2024) • Summer in the City 🥵 (June 2023) 📕 @Romance • Love Triangle (April 2025) • New Adult (June 2024) 📘 @Ambassadors • Hot Encounters (Dec 2024) 📗 @ChickLit • Rom-Com (Oct 2025) • Ambassador's Picks (Jul 2025) Awards: 🥈 Romance runner-up (The Prime Awards 2023)
