Imagine being all alone, with no friends and a neglected, separated family. This is how Emilia Hope Cooper felt every day since her parents divorced and her brother moved away. Emilia, the smartest girl in her Freshman class, was just living her life for the sake of living, but she had nothing to live for. That is, until one particular night in the rain, when she was pondering her broken family with her head in the clouds, her world went black. She woke up after a two-week coma from being hit by a car in a bright hospital room. After many weeks at the hospital to heal her fractured bones, she was delivered to a rehab clinic to re-strengthen her muscles and bones. In depression, she was not improving the slightest bit until she met Rosalie Cham. Rosalie taught Emilia what true friendship means, bringing her out of depression now that she has Rosalie, Albert Xan, Gemma and Fabio Keterbilt, and Sandra Evan as friends. Finally happy and enjoying life, Emilia is improving at a fast rate. When tragedy strikes, everything goes downhill once more. The people in her life are trying to save her from a pit of depression, and the most unlikely person could be the one to pull her out and make her the bright, wonderful person she was before.

Stockholm Syndrome (Luigi Mangione AU) [Completed]
They were best friends since they were twelve. Two broken kids from opposite worlds-her, the golden girl with bruises under designer sleeves; him, the violent boy from the wrong side of New Jersey with blood on his hands and loyalty carved into his spine. She promised she'd never leave him. He promised he'd never let her. But promises shatter under pressure. Years later, after secrets, heartbreak, and one brutal relationship nearly destroys her, Emilia Medina disappears the night of graduation. No one knows where she is. Except Luigi Benedetti. Because he took her. To save her. To keep her. To make her his. Now they're locked in a cabin deep in the woods with his baby sisters, a fake life, and the twisted remnants of their childhood pact: "Banana rule: No quitting. No leaving. Forever." What begins as captivity becomes something far more dangerous- A love built on trauma. A family forged in survival. And a boy who would burn the whole world to protect the only girl who ever looked at him like he wasn't a monster. Dark. Obsessive. Devastating. This is not your typical love story. This is what happens when your soulmate is the one who stole you.Complete

We Dream at Midnight (Ember 2)
Here she is. I can see the slope of her spine through that thin shirt. She's made of angles I ache to smooth with a hand, but I'd use my lips if she asked. I brush her knuckles with mine. Her skin is cold, but she flips her palm for more contact. I lace our fingers. It's enough to make her look at me. As those kaleidoscopic eyes meet mine, I hold my breath. Then she sets her lips just under my jaw. It rips the air from my lungs. It's the softest thing I've ever felt. "What was that for," I breathe. She pulls back, lashes damp, and whispers, "You're the kind of person that should be kissed." 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 BOOK TWO C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ mature content ❤︎ romance & friendship ❤︎ yearning Copyright © 2021-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).
