The Bucket List (A REVERSE HAREM ROMANCE) by Suzidebeer

The Bucket List will be REMOVED from Wattpad on the 3rd of OCTOBER 2025. If you want to read the EDITED and slightly rewritten version of the book, you can find it on the READICT APP. It'll be published on Amazon at a later date. For updates on everything happening, you can follow me on Facebook: Author Suzi de Beer or join my group Suzi's Booknook. Instagram: Suzidebeer18 ############# Crystal and I have been friends since fourth grade. We were like sisters even though we weren't blood related. The two of us had a lot of plans but tragedy struck, and I was suddenly all alone. During her last few hours alive, we wrote a bucket list, which Crystal made me promise to do every single thing on it. Life worked in funny ways I realized a few months later when I met four men. A CEO from a multi-millionaire company. Identical twins, each with their own personality. And a fitness trainer who was a bit too serious for my liking. There was just something about all of them that made my heart beat faster and my knees weaker. Somehow they had gotten hold of my bucket list and now they were all trying to win my heart. There's one big problem though: I didn't want to choose between the four of them. I wanted all of them.

the BUCKETLIST (#Wattys2016) by taldy26

SHORT STORY :) Have you ever remembered someone in your life that the two of you were close...best friends. That your mom would always invite for dinner or sometimes a stroll in the park. But no everything seems different. Everything seems to change. (1) His the POPULAR one and I'm just the no one. (2) His the one with clothing, I'm with nothing. The worst part is... (3) I love him, but he can't wait...he WON'T love me back. I'm Summer Meyers, and I have this bucketlist that I have to do before I could just even die. Number 1 on my list...Tell him... What if I can't? Can I just let something get away and when something is at its end that the time that everyone justs knows?

All Of You by ameesaAhlam

(Though highly recommend to read the book "Obsession, Madness & Love" first, this book can be read as a standalone.) ____________________________________________ I made a mistake. A terrible one. I betrayed my best friend. The only person who ever cared for me. But I had no choice. Then there's his younger sister, Maria Andrews who always looked up to me as if I was some kind of an angel, little does she know that I am far away from that. And now I am on the run, trying to leave everything behind. But it's been four years, four fucking years since her eighteenth birthday when she confessed having feelings for me. For Me. And her words still haunt me, the tears in her eyes when I rejected her still burn my heart but I did what I had to do. People don't love me, especially women...they only seek pleasure from me. I am not a lovable person and someone you should definitely steer clear of. Getting involved with my best friend's (or ex best friend's) sister is stupid and I'm fucking mature enough to not even think of her, of someone who is eight years younger than me. But now, she is here and God help me, I am about to cross every fucking line.

Second No More, a novel by imaginationgirl35

I've dreamed of the perfect marriage ever since I was a little girl: a marriage complete with a hardworking husband while I tended to the home and our children, preferably four little rugrats to call my own. I dreamed of a life filled with laughter, joy, and success, a life we built together. I dreamed of growing old next to my husband, creating a great love story to tell our grandchildren someday. It all seemed so possible. I was raised to be the perfect wife, after all. From the outside, it seemed I had exactly what I dreamed of with the rich, determined husband; the brilliant, gaudy diamond ring; and the beautiful home filled with the hope of future children. Yes, it was all a dream come true. I should have felt grateful, really. The problem is, I also wanted a marriage based on love, passion, and affection, but those are the only things my husband cannot give me . . . . . . because they're reserved for her.

荒原始生 by TheStoneThatHurts

"When Chu Xiang woke up, he realized the world had already entered the apocalypse... The T-virus ravaged the entire world in a short time. Only 10% of the 7 billion people had immunity, and over 300 million died due to the chaos caused by the virus. On Earth's 5.1 million square kilometers, only 400 million humans survived, alongside countless zombies and mutated creatures infected by the virus. Whether on land, sea, or air, they relentlessly hunt the remaining human survivors... In the face of danger and hunger, the so-called school beauties, police flowers, spicy girls, or rich girls are nothing more than men's accessories. "Survival of the fittest" rules the day! A female celebrity? Would you trade a box of pure, uncontaminated bottled water for it? A virgin girl? Will you dance for a packet of biscuits? A wealthy young lady? Sorry, in a world where even ants can kill, running isn't an option - only elimination awaits... The food crisis forces the surviving humans to reclaim land and plant crops for self-sufficiency. The once bright-lit squares are now overgrown with crops, and the buildings that once bustled with crowds have turned into pigsties. Gone are the hustle and bustle, the pollution, the 9-to-5 routine, and Sundays off. When there's free time, you can search the ruins for valuable treasures, and when bored, you can have heart-to-heart conversations with your old girlfriends..."

The Mindless Man's Paradise by emily_velasco

In The Land, nobody has names. There are no such things as weddings, culture, ethnicities, or cities. In a post apocalyptic era, taking place in the only habitable part of the world, all survivors of the last war gather. Under their government's command, they obey every rule placed before them. But when they are fifteen, all members of this society have a chance to find their true love. They go on a journey and endure the many horrific forces of nature to find them. But what happens if your Soul Mate doesn't listen to the government? What would you do?

Cold Ashes by SilverGalaxySkies

Disclaimer:- This was written by me 4 years ago during my years at college. It's far from perfect, but I hope everyone can see where I have improved. For my latest works, please see Varna. Thanks! The world is long gone. The old ways of kindness and compassion as dead as the corpses that now stalk the Earth. In the depths of this zombie apocalypse 17 year old Ryan has survived through it all where his family hasn't been as lucky. Scavenging all he can find, his world revolves around one basic, cruel fact - that any day could be his last. But then the impossible happens. Suddenly his world changes and all around him feelings and people he never knew existed slice through his heart like an icy razor. He sees things that he only ever heard in fairy tales or even the world before, things that he thought were impossible. Can he stay alive long enough to save his friends from the insanity of Boss? And is it possible that he can learn to care about humanity again? A teen thriller with plenty of twists, turns and drama on every page. Has been officially completed, but I have ideas to expand it. If you want more, tell me so and I will begin the planning ^~^
