contemporary romance

People see what they want to see. A burly guy with tats and a permanent scowl is probably a criminal and an asshole, right? And I can't fault 'em, because in my case, they're right. My world revolves around righting the wrongs of my past. Atoning for my selfish stupidity. And it's enough. 

Until I meet Viv - a woman who sees right through me. She's not scared or intimidated. A woman like her is way too good for a man like me. But life as I knew it won't be enough anymore. I realize now that before I met her, I wasn't really living. Hell, I was barely breathing.All Rights Reserved

He said it so usually like it's the obvious thing to say at this situation. My eyes get watered immediately. I said crying," It's my first baby. I want to give birth to this baby." "I have told my decision already. You can never have my baby," He said finishing his food. " Why can't I have it? please, let me have it, I replied tightening my hold on my belly. He said banging his palm on the table," You will not listen like that." Saying that he dragged me towards the staircase and said creepily almost pushing me on the stairs," Just one push and the result will be same. Mistresses are for pleasure not for bearing children.

Winning Back Mr. Right by kimguan1201

Life is too short to be anything but ordinary. That being said, I learned how to play the guitar one day and wrote songs about love. My guitar skills maybe limited but I had so much fond memories that the callous on my fingers made a good souvenir on that musical stage in my life. As the years passed, I began taking interest in art; painting in particular. So I collected all the coloring materials I can find and start sketching in this huge white pad I got from some local bookstore. My brothers can sketch and since we share the same DNA, it's probably one of the reasons why I do contain a pinch of that same talent. To this date, sketching and painting are the two hobbies I still find interesting especially on stressful days and lonely nights. Call me greedy. It didn't stop there. My reading habit became so much more persistent that I also took a liking on writing. Wattpad paved a way for me to express myself, to show the world that I can be whoever I want to be as long as I put my heart and mind (together with a lot of hard work) to it. Thus, Winning Back Mr. Right was born. Like all relationships, one has the discretion of fulfilling, disappointing, and enduring at the same time. And just like the other girls out there, we need to find inspiration or simply to get stoked. Winning Back Mr. Right is a story about a beautiful, young lady named Airie. Airie is loved and cherished by Nathaniel, who is every girl's Mr. McDreamy. The couple is what the millenials would term today as #relationshipgoals. One day, her world turned upside down upon meeting the not-so-stranger-after-all Kevin, who happens to be every girl's Mr. McSteamy. Airie makes a mistake and crosses the line. Is love really enough to make a relationship work? Does being with someone for a long time guarantee a lifetime together? How she picked up the pieces and redeemed her rebel heart will lead her to Mr. Right. The question is...who exactly is Mr. Right?
