Written In The Stars: Book Two
Everything about Elijah that was worth loving walked out the door of his apartment with Madeline, leaving him little more than a shell of a man. No amount of booze or destruction could erase the love he felt for that woman. That sweet, brutal, all too brief love slashed through his insides and left him damaged beyond repair. They say time heals all wounds, and in some ways, it did. Four years after his M&M walked away, Elijah has his life on track. The scars were still on his heart and skin, but this was as close to living for something other than her as he'd ever get. Then the call comes. That punch to the gut, time stopping call that could send him right back into the hole that'd taken him two years to climb out of. Hearing about her engagement was one thing. It hurt, but knowing she'd found happiness after all the heartache gave him some measure of hope for himself. But this? This could be his salvation or his end. *Mentions of suicide and drug and alcohol addiction.Complete
I'll Come Back for You
Book is completed! ✅ * January 2, 2020: placed third in romance category for the Duck Awards! The crash that broke through the last of her desperate hopelessness, was merciful, or so they said. Merciful, indeed. Merciful, for now she knew how cruel that promise had been. How had she managed to hold onto those words, as the world around her fell to ash? He hadn't remembered her at all, and she doubted he dwelled on the indefinite promise he'd made her. He hadn't remained the same, that she knew. He had risen to the top, left her to watch from far below as he became the star he had always dreamed of being. To believe he would return for her just because he had said so was ludicrous. Yet, if by some twist of fate, he did come back? "I'll come back for you," he'd said. Those vague words would be her undoing. **Inspired by Max Schneider's song "I'll Come Back for You" **Please do not steal my writing. This story took years to get down on paper and so much hard work!Complete

Bed of Lies
They broke her trust. They broke his mind. Now the past is back-and this time, it wants blood. Victoria learned early how to survive in silence. Grief became her shadow. Guilt, her constant companion. Because if she had died that night instead of her mother... maybe everything would have been different. But the past doesn't stay buried, and when it drags her back into a world she barely escaped, silence won't save her anymore. Xavier learned how to disappear behind scars, rage, and the monster his past made him. A man shaped by violence, and driven by retribution. Victoria was everything he should avoid- soft yet unyielding, broken but still standing. She had the kind of pain that mirrored his own. She saw too much, pushed too far and worst of all, she made him remember something he buried a long time ago. He hated it. Hated her. Because she made him feel. What exists between them isn't gentle. It isn't safe or healing. It destroys. And when the truth comes for them both, they'll have to decide: Run. Burn. Or destroy everything in their path.Complete![𝐀 𝐇𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐎𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 | [𝟏𝟖+]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/369746393-256-k37459.jpg)

His sister's best friend had captured his heart, and he was consumed by his obsession for her and now, he knows he would never be able to let her go because she belongs with him." • ✧ • There's a kind of love that feels like sunlight - warm, gentle, safe. And then... there's his. It's not cruel. It's not loud. It's something far more dangerous - quiet, calculated, all-consuming. He was my best friend's brother. The man I was never supposed to notice. He watched from the shadows, memorizing me without ever needing a single word. I never really knew his name... but he knew everything about me. My fears. My patterns. My dreams. Even the parts I hadn't yet discovered myself. He's always been there, just a step behind-waiting, watching, wanting. And now, he's no longer waiting. He calls it love. I don't know what to call it, only that it pulls me in like gravity - unavoidable, inescapable. There's safety in his arms, yet danger in his silence. Gentleness in his touch, yet fire in his gaze. And somewhere in the tension between fear and longing, I find myself unraveling. Because the scariest part of being wanted like this... Is realizing you might want them back.Complete
The Mirrored Doorway
Matthew's doorway to change came to him in the form a woman who held up a mirror to him and showed him who he really was.She was a very fit, blonde, blue eyed, intelligent woman who was originally Russian. Victoria had seen more of life than Matthew had ever imagined. Victoria had imagined the un-imaginable and achieved it. She is still doing all those things that us mere observers have yet to have the courage to understand or commit to. He engaged. He pandered, he devoted himself, and in the end, Victoria devastated him. He was emotionally crushed. Matthew was heartbroken and the tears would not stop. He had a desire, but not the will to commit suicide. In the car he would wail. In the shower he would buckle and cry. In the aftermath, Matthew would steel his nerves with anti anxiety medication and long, long walks around the New South Wales city of Newcastle. From the house his parents owned to the city, to the beach and anywhere in between. He needed to be occupied, he needed to be tired. The construction workers would be listening to a sad some song on the radio (Dean Lewis - Be Alright, that's a good one to cry to), and he would want to stop and physically break down on the grass verge and go no further. Matthew needed to reconcile with best person he had ever meet. So, what was reflected in Matthews mirrored doorway? What door way was opened for him to look beyond his world view, and importantly how did it take so many years for him to see the person he was? Is this a love story? Yes. For Matthew absolutely. For Victoria, no. She did not love or care for him, and we can only guess that Matthew was company for a short period of time, and that amounted to 9 months of wonder, snoring, emotional roller coasting, photography, Salsa dancing, camping, trekking, long drives and fitness. Awesome!Complete

She just laughed viciously without answering him, she didn't have to waste her time with an insect; leaving La to die imprisoned in the house where she was kidnapped. "Answer me!" She got up from her bed screaming "Eh? This looks like my room; Did I reincarnate myself in the past?" She ran to the bathroom just to see that her assumption was correct. She thanked the heavens for this second chance by promising that she wouldn't be fooled a second time.Complete

"Goodnight my Queen" I shivered at the title he had given me, I was scared to the bone and I was not about to argue with him while he had a taste for blood the look in his eyes told me he still wanted more when he entered the car earlier on. He tenderly kissed my forehead lingering as my heart exploded I waited patiently and shut my eyes praying for him to remove his lips from my skin so I could go home. He finally did and when he unlocked the car doors I jumped out and hurried to my apartment not looking back at the devil in the car. I finally reached my apartment panting and shut the door sliding down my door crying hysterically, I could still feel his cold lips on me. What did I just witness tonight. What did I get myself into. I was scared of the future because I knew surely he would be back to check on his Queen.
