A modern adaptation of Becoming Jane
"I want you to have a good video to look at when you're old and can't get into a cinema to watch my matinees. I want you to have one video that might pass as proof that the great director Jane Aston is your sister."
Jane always knew her calling. She sees Netflix as her research, and popcorn as her fuel. Her eyes are her lens to set the world as a stage. And while she knows that the silver screen seems a lifetime and a half away, she's willing to push past all that to make the movies people queue days to see. That is, if she can get past her coutryside prison of a home and get to uni.
Tom Leroy loves money. Mid-way through training to be a big shot lawyer with buckets of money to wash in, he gets pushed into the countryside to stay with his best friend Henry, and his family for the summer. What seems like a disaster for the city boy turns into an unforgettable experience as he bumps into the despicable Jane again and again and again, in a love-hate-love story.

In a quiet village, three sisters grow up in a modest yet loving family. Their father, an agricultural engineer, and their mother, a dance teacher, provide them with a childhood filled with simplicity and joy. Each sister has a dream: the eldest aspires to become a chef, the middle sister (our heroine) longs to travel the world, and the youngest, a tech enthusiast, lives for video games. Despite their promise to stay together, life gradually leads them to the capital. The eldest becomes a chef at a renowned restaurant, the heroine joins a local design agency, and the youngest starts working for a video game development company. Yet, the heroine feels unfulfilled-her dream of adventure remains out of reach.

Dear Jane (Austen)
Dear Jane is an epistolary novel inspired by Jane Austen's novel and her biographical events. I imagine that Cassandra, her sister, writes to the women who had inspired the protagonists of Jane's novels, asking them to write to Jane to comfort and distract her in a difficult moment, due to the illness that will lead her to death. Therefore, it begins between Jane, Elizabeth Darcy, Marianne Brandon, Maria Bertram, Catherine Tilney, Ann Wentworth and Emma Knightly an epistolary correspondence that reveals aspects of Jane's life and tells us what happens to Austen's characters after the end of her novels. Since I am also an opera singer, you can expect some tragedies and many "coup de théâtre"!Complete![From Pemberley to Manhattan [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/128172789-256-k288720.jpg)
From Pemberley to Manhattan [COMPLETED]
People are never ready for the impossible. When Mr. Darcy discovered a trespasser in his lands, he imagined the young man to simply be a lost drunk from the village. Never would he have guessed that the man was a brilliant scientist. And the first time traveler in History. Let alone would Mr. Darcy suppose that he himself would become the second man to ever travel through time. Yet, he did. Mr. Darcy accidentally ended up in the twenty-first century. At first, he desired nothing but to return to his beloved Pemberley. However, as he discovers the magical powers of technology and makes the strangest - yet kindest - friends, he wonders if, when the time comes, he will have the strength to return to when he belongs. Especially now, that he would have to leave behind a lovely lady who enchanted him. A lady with a lot of personality and mesmerizing green eyes.

What Nobody Knew
"Elizabeth, we have more stores to get to, so if you please.'" Came Mr. Knight's impatient voice from the other side of the door. I still wasn't used to him calling me by my first name, but since he used it this morning, he hasn't gone back to the previous "Miss Bennet". I sighed before stepping out of the dressing room. "Sir, I'm not so sure about this one..." I trailed off, while giving a slight twirl so he could see the whole dress. When I looked up, Mr. Knight's eyes were roaming over every inch of my form. I could feel the heat rushing towards my face and a funny tingling feeling settling in my stomach. Why did he have to look at me like that? It was almost like he wanted to... No, this was Mr. Knight, he wouldn't be looking at me like that... and I was most definitely not excited at the mere thought of it. No, in fact, I was uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that I wished I had something to cover myself up with. But, it seemed that I forgot how to operate my legs and was now glued to the spot. Mr. Knight cleared his throat, looking away from me and avoiding eye contact al together. "Uhm, yes... I think you might be right. Let's try another one." He pulled out his phone and started scrolling through it. That was strange. Was Mr. Knight actually uncomfortable? ... This is a Pride and Prejudice retelling where Mr. Darcy is a rich CEO and Elizabeth his over-qualified PA. May contain some mature scenes.
