Bianca Thatcher and Colin Carrington 

********
How do you return to a home and family you never knew existed?

Colin and his brother, Shayne, are the sons of Nicholas Carrington. At eighteen years old their father left behind his former life and wealth in one of Dallas's wealthiest oil families. He was never heard of again and disinherited by his father.

Over fifty years later this long-kept family secret is revealed. . . . Colin Carrington gets a shocking phone call from Greyson Carrington, a cousin he has never heard of. That phone call would change the life of Colin and his brother, Shayne, forever. . . . They went from being raised in a middle-class family to being members of the Carrington family, one of the wealthiest oil families in Dallas. Find out how this journey all began. 

Follow Colin's new journey to forgiving his father, who passed away years ago. He was emotionally distant all his life. Colin isn't your average hero. He doesn't feel like a hero at all until he meets Bianca Thatcher. He embarks on a quest to keep her safe from her exasperating ex-boyfriend, Jagger. But Colin just might be the one who needs a heroine to save him from the fragments of internal scars he's carried for many years. Will Colin end up losing his heart to Bianca?

"It's always been you, Phoenix. You are the one who makes me the happiest. Just being in the same room as you gives me god damn butterflies.

That's when I realized that home wasn't just a house or a place you live at...for me, it was you." Scarlett Wolf has the looks of her father but the sass, class, and kindest soul from her mother. She wears her heart on her sleeve and there is only one person on earth who takes up the biggest part of it. The one who she has been desperately in love with since diapers and the one who has never seen her as anything other than just a little girl. Phoenix Zeller has the rugged looks, charm, and cluelessness from his father but the passionate and protective heart from his mother. He's serious and stubborn at times, but when he finally opens up, he is the biggest sweetheart you'll ever know. And just when he thinks he has a good grasp on life, a little "Wolf" will come along to flip his world upside down in the best way possible. **This is book two of my "Out of" series. Book one is called "Out of Left Field" which is about the parents of the characters in this story. It is currently on the Chapters app, but I will be slowly transferring it over to Wattpad.

Break Me & Remake Me by KaijuYardz
54 parts Complete Mature
Aidan Crowley never planned on going back home. What for? To have his father spit in his face? To endure his sister's brooding glares? To face his ex-girlfriend and have to dig up some lame explanation for why he ran away? But when Lillian Crowley dies, Aidan finds himself drawn back in anyway. Just a simple visit to pay his respects - despite the dangerous waters and the sharks circling in the depths. And although the world he'd fled as a teen has changed in a lot of ways, much of it has stayed disappointingly the same. Enough so, it seems, as to bring out the worst in both Aidan and those he'd left behind. And then there's the matter of the seven sealed letters, and the warren of rabbit holes they open up beneath his feet. It's not long before Aidan is sinking, desperately struggling against chains of the past that he'd thought he'd cast off long ago, unable to break free until Lillian decides she's well and truly finished with him. He should have known: the heaviest steps a man can take are those that lead home. =============== SCHEDULE: New chapters every Mon/Wed/Fri until the story concludes in April. =============== Please COMMENT if you feel like it, I always love hearing what you think and what you predict might happen next. I also appreciate constructive feedback, if you have any, or you can DM that if you prefer. =============== CONTENT WARNING (mild spoilers): This story contains medium to heavy themes related to generational trauma and the kinds of things that tend to cause that. The characters are dealing with some serious issues, though none of it is presented gratuitously or explicitly. Despite the heavy themes, the general tone is positive and focuses on redemption and a brighter tomorrow. I won't leave you depressed at the end, I promise!

Philip Winthrop, owner of Winthrop Oil is still fuming that Bianca Thatcher married Colin Carrington, and not his son, Jagger. Greyson, the CEO, will not let Philip destroy The House of Carrington that his great grandfather built. Enter Shayne Carrington, with steel grey eyes and a chiseled jawline that could cut glass. He becomes the new CFO, at Carrington Enterprises and gains a financial assistant, Sabine Harlow. She feels he needs to be taken down a peg or two with his arrogance. Is his over confidence a mask for deeper hidden feelings? Will their battle of wills lead to a deep love that neither of them expected? "Hello Sabine, I hear we're going to be working together. Please don't think I had anything to do with that decision. Trust me on that! Please try to keep your claws in, during working ours." Shayne smirked as he handed me a file of paperwork with sticky notes. He wrote directions on the outside like I was a kindergartener. "Oh, by the way, your new desk will be outside of my office tomorrow. I'll see you in the morning, Miss Harlow." He moved his thick brown eyebrows up and down. He had the nerve to grin from ear to ear with his arms folded, as he stood before me. I was exasperated with him already. "I have until the end of the day, to decide if I am willing to be your assistant." I snapped at him with an extra smug and cold expression on my face. He leaned over my desk close to my face, with his steel grey eyes. Up close, I saw hints of blue in them. "I have no doubt, that you will be sitting at your desk tomorrow working for Shayne Carrington." He stated a little too sure of himself. I can't do it! Who speaks in third person about themselves?
