Shadows of Doubts: (LCB Stories12: Brixx Villa Story)
"In a city of gold, they searched for something real. Love wasn't part of the plan-until they found it in each other." In a city built on ambition, love was never part of the blueprint. Brixx Villa ruled the skyline-powerful, calculated, and untouchable. As the titan of real estate, he built empires from glass and steel, but the walls around his heart were even higher. Cherry Divinagracia lit up every room she entered-a radiant icon of the fashion world, admired from afar but misunderstood in the quiet corners of her life. Behind her perfect smile hid a woman longing to break free from the spotlight's illusion. When fate intertwines their lives under the shimmering lights of Brixx Villa's high society, a connection ignites-unexpected, undeniable, and utterly complicated. As they navigate the collision of success and vulnerability, their hearts must confront the painful truths they've long buried. Can love thrive in a world that values image over intimacy? Or will their hidden scars pull them apart before they ever get the chance to heal together? "When power meets passion, the city holds its breath. Not every empire is built on business-some are built on hearts." **************************************************************************************************edited 04232025Complete
Then, Love Settles In
The story is set in vibrant Chicago. Ella Jones, a lively and cheerful but somewhat love-clumsy kindergarten teacher, has always yearned for a stable and sincere relationship, yet consistently ends up with the wrong people. Her best friend, Zoe Miller, a smart and pragmatic lawyer with a touch of cynicism, is her rock-solid support, though Zoe herself harbors a deep-seated skepticism toward commitment. Ella's brother, Ben Jones, a hardworking, reliable, and slightly conservative engineer, leads a methodical life that lacks a certain spark. A twist of fate occurs at a trendy tech company. During a school-organized field trip, Ella meets the handsome, charming, and successful tech entrepreneur Liam Shaw. Liam pursues her with intense and direct fervor, fulfilling all of Ella's romantic fantasies. However, Liam's past and his cutthroat business tactics cast a shadow over his polished exterior. Meanwhile, Ben's company collaborates on a major project with Chloe Bates, a talented but free-spirited and unconventional architect. Chloe's arrival disrupts Ben's orderly world; her passionate and adventurous lifestyle deeply attracts him while also challenging his ingrained sense of structure. The story revolves around these two main couples. Ella and Liam's relationship is filled with fiery passion, but also fraught with misunderstandings and unease stemming from Liam's mysterious past. Ben and Chloe represent a clash and attraction between stability and adventure, rules and freedom. As the plot develops, Ella must see the truth beneath the glamorous surface and learn independence and discernment. Ben needs to break free from his self-imposed limitations and embrace life's unpredictability. Zoe, too, may encounter someone capable of breaking down her walls along the way. Together, they will explore love's many facets-it may come unexpectedly, but it requires courage, understanding, and growth to nurture and protect.

Thankfully, I have my best friend, Harper, to get me through high school being overshadowed by my brother. My plans for a quiet, low-key senior year are destroyed when my brother's cocky, arrogant rival keeps butting into my life.

Loving in Monochrome: The Girl I Saw That Day
"He saw the world in black and white... until he met the girl who loved in every color." Aiden Castillo never believed in fate - only in timing, and how often it betrayed him. High school was a blur of laughter, failed crushes, and questions about what *real love* should feel like. But everything changed when he stepped into college - a new world, new faces, and one familiar name that never left his memory: "Selene Villarez". From awkward texts and first ice cream dates, to quiet nights under the city lights - their story grew in unspoken words and half-meant glances. She was a mystery, a girl who loved both men and women, and yet made Aiden feel seen for the first time. But love, like all fragile things, isn't always painted in color. Sometimes it blooms in shades of gray - between friendship and romance, hope and heartbreak. This is the story of how it all began. A story of first love, almost love, and the moments that made Aiden believe that even monochrome can be beautiful.
Everything Has Changed
"If you asked me three months ago what heartbreak was, I would tell you it's losing somebody close to you due to unspeakable circumstances. But right now, in this moment, I would say it's you. I would say it's the feeling I got in my chest when I realized I was out of time. When I stood in the rain and yelled for you to stay, but all I saw was your back. I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen. Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words. All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you. With the way you move, and the feeling of your arms around me. With the feeling of your chest vibrating as you laugh. Heartbreak is falling in love with everything about you, but having the words permanently stuck in my throat." _____ Gracelyn Levinsky grew up with Daniel Grey. She has always looked to him as a brother, but when she escapes from her abusive Mom and moves to the same town Danny moved to when he was ten, she finds out that he's in love with her.
