England 1847-1852.
Born to an English gentleman and a common French dancer, Adrian Blackford is a mischevious yet ambitious painter. He adamantly chooses to constantly clash with high society and refuses to make the least effort to live by its rules. He was cursed with an itch to stir up trouble and to trifle with the feelings of every woman loved by another man.
The abandonment of the only true love he had known since childhood forces him to try to take hold of his life, but, instead, he falls prey to the vindictive scheme of a powerful trader and finds himself thrown into extreme poverty and deserted by his family. His journey to find liberty and fulfillment leads him to the realization that the women in his life had the power to either break or make him.

The Blueness of a Blue Wild Flower
"And I am always correct, today proved it again. First love will always be the last." "Because you're either too damaged or too stuck," he smirked as he continued, "So which one is it?" Aquila Augustus Ashworth was the kind of person who had the pretty face, held the highest of honors in his academics, one of the best in poetry, an English rich family with Italian roots, with a not so pretty twists, a circle of friends enough to give him enough "street smarts" and most of all, perhaps his greatest gift, having a trustworthy person beside him, his childhood friend Kyleigh Frances "Kiwi" Winters, a beautiful mature girl with a height deficiency, complimenting her cute childlike face, a person adored and dreamed by many. But there was more to him hidden beneath his bright emerald eyes. He has that special talent to what people can describe or comparable to a psychologists`. But though he has that special talent, it misses one vital thing, he lacks to understand his. Soon he finds himself entrapped in the brink of falling a cliff leading to oblivion, between something perfect that can lead to Eden, or what can lead to its fall due to his ignorance to his own emotions. And with the tests of fate, the walls trapping him starts pushing him to the pit. The walls of his one new found ideal: "First love`s the last." Will he fall into the pit? I wonder.Complete

She asks in a whisper as she holds the top so it doesn't open completely and reveals herself to him.

Winning Back Mr. Right
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?Complete
