β§ ππππππππ ππππππππ (πππππ) β§ When I was six I was kidnapped and taken away from my family for seven months. Thirteen years later and I have little to no memory of who had taken me. Ever since then my father has been severely overprotective and never lets me out of his sight. Now that I'm somewhat on my own everything starts to change. When I finish high school and start attending New York University my life takes a turn, for better and for worse. They're back. β πππππππππ π πππππππ β Years ago we found our little angel. She just so happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was the light in our lives, until one day we lost her again. Thirteen years later and we still mourn the loss of our sweetheart, but we found her once, we will do it again. I am the head of the Russian mafia, or a professor at NYU depending who you ask. One day I raise my head to look around at the sea of students and my eyes lock on a familiar pair of ocean blue irises. β ππππππ πππππππ β I'm a heartless killer and offer no apologies for it. As the head of the Russian mafia along with being the CEO to a multibillion dollar company, my life is nothing but darkness. During the day I'm an office man, at night my knife slashes through the necks of anyone I can get my hands on. Killing is my outlet, ever since I lost her. It helps me keep my anger in check. I've never stopped looking for her. We've come close multiple times, but each time came out unsuccessful. As I put a bullet in the head of my ex-guard, Alex comes rushing into the room, and the look on his face says it all. He found her. Start: July 4th End: ///
Love Letters to the Dead
NaNoWriMo 2017 with @human_tomato because she's great "My latest idea was a thunderstorm, one with thunder so loud it seemed to split the world in half. It'd come on suddenly, during English or French, and we'd all jump underneath our desks. Outside, the lightning would be exploding and blinding the earth. One bolt would hit a tree outside, and send it careening towards me. I'd see it through the window and stand, welcoming the branches as they stabbed right through to my heart."Complete![Chrysalis Days & Butterfly Nights [Wattys 2023 Shortlist]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/325158088-256-k532123.jpg)
Chrysalis Days & Butterfly Nights [Wattys 2023 Shortlist]
Luke had always struggled with a sense of himself, fighting to reconcile feelings that threatened his relationships and his identity. After years of pushing those feelings deep down inside, and after losing his wife in a tragic accident, those feelings he thought consigned to the past begin to reemerge. When a night turns terrifying and traumatic, he is saved by the statuesque Helen, who recognises his struggle and supports Luke on a spiritual journey in search of his true self. But his search for meaning in the bittersweet emotions that are blossoming within threaten to destroy his friendships, his home life and his resolve to become the person he had always known himself to be. Or, rather, who she knew herself to be. A sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes heart-lifting, sometimes harrowing and sometimes touching tale about accepting who you truly are. π΅Wattys 2023 Shortlistπ΅ π΅Featured by FreeTheLGBT - Diverse Literature - July 2023π΅ π΅Featured by Stories Undiscovered - Jan 2023π΅ π΅Featured by @WackyWriters - Undiscovered Gems Under 1k - Feb 2023π΅ π₯3rd Place - General Fiction Category -Pretty In Punk 'Punk Rock Awards' Apr 2023π₯ Cover created in Canva, using an AI generated picture.Complete

The Will To
Will is a slut. At least, according to everyone else she is. With a past that both defines her and won't let her go, Will has had enough of the name-calling and assumptions. She's decided to use it all as fuel to get what she wants: to take down Reid Reynolds. Reid is a "bad boy" (a term that makes Will's eyes cross into oblivion) and he represents everything that Will despises. He is a TA in one of her university classes, making her plan even easier. She has an entire year to follow through with her agenda. No problem. It's all under control. Except it isn't. When women start getting assaulted on campus, everything Will is running from begins to catch up with her. She will inevitably have to face it--and decide if getting revenge on the bad boy will actually get her what she wants. NaNoWriMo2021 Warnings: sexual assault, mentions of rape, and stalking.Complete
