Screw it. I picked up the bottle of whiskey and cashed it. I got into my car and drove until I saw a bridge. I look down at the ocean crashing below. My heart started racing, so I took a deep breath and I sat on the railing. I began to gaze at the full moon. A cold gust of wind blew across my face and made goosebumps form on my forearms. I finally felt at peace, calm and free but the sound of a speeding car behind me jolted me back to reality. Then the events of my stressfuful day rushed on me like a whirl wind and I wanted it all to be over...

The Michaels Twins [Book One in the Hard at Heart series]
I grabbed her arm for support and I swore her skin on mine was getting me high. I understood what was happening with me. I spun her around and pulled her towards me until her back collided with my solid chest. Her heart was racing. "You okay? Your heart is pounding." I whispered. "Because you're scaring me!" She shouted back in defence. Her breath hitched in her throat. "You're mine. The most selfish line but the sweetest words we want to hear from the one we love." No, no, no. This can't happen. "I know you love me..." I teased in a deep voice before sinking my canines into the nape of her neck; forever marking her as mine. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •. •.

A Frayed Knot
Meeting your soulmate when you are a child seems unfathomable, but it happened to me. Some would say I lived the life of a princess. I was born into wealth. I have the palace on the sea, expensive sports car, and my Daddy wrapped around my finger, but what they don't see is that I'm sheltered, overprotected, and lonely. Until late one night, a hurricane had wrecked havoc on our palace, and marina; bringing a man, and his two son's not only crashing into our family resturant, Balentine Bistro Marina, but into our lives forever. They became the family I always wanted, but never knew I needed. We had weathered the storm together, but what we didn't realize is young love is never simple. It is just like a spring storm, that kind of love comes quick, fierce, and is unpredictable. We soon realized that the storm was just the beginning.Complete![Aurelia [h.s.]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/45562405-256-k200309.jpg)
Aurelia [h.s.]
"Aren't you afraid?" "Of what? Dying?" "Yes, exactly that." She took a moment to deliberately pick the right words in her mind because she knew he was going to ask why the moment after she answered, "No. Death is unavoidable, it's a part of life that is inescapable since birth. It's written in our very nature. The problem is that people spend too much time worrying about death and not living their lives to their fullest potential. We were born to both live and die and that seems to be forgotten somewhere along the way. I am not afraid of dying even though I could die at any given day at any given time because I'm making the most of my life and I know that something better awaits me when I go." [Edited!]Complete

Tragedy ✔️

Tragedy can happen to anyone, anytime and anywhere, and the saddest part about that truth is that tragedy is unavoidable. No one can prevent a natural disaster from happening. No one can prevent death from knocking on their doorstep - if it's an accident, or a sickness - it cannot be prevented, and it cannot be avoided. You never know on which day tragedy will come knocking on your front door. You never know who it would strike next - if it would be you, or someone else, or someone who is very close to you. The thing is, with tragedy, it doesn't ask questions before it strikes. It just does. River and Sophia were two people who experienced the same tragedy: loss, but their stories were very different from each other, but they shared the same pain of losing someone they loved, someone who was close to them. And now, suffering the aftermath of their tragedies - living with the guilt, the regret, and the grief of losing someone that was close to them, they have to try to overcome everything, before their tragedy ruins their lives forever. But will it bring them together or would it just be another terrible tragedy? [ word count 130K - 145K ] [ comments does contain spoilers ]Complete
