Layla Athena Tove









Average was the best way to describe Layla. She wasn't a wasn't a wallflower but she wasn't the centre of attention either, nothing unique to intrigue. At home she had her work cut out for her in the mist of her chaotic siblings. She's the third oldest in the seven, but she takes the the responsibility of the oldest.






Fresh out of college and filled willed with dreams and aspirations, she can't wait to leave her home and be fully independent. Finding a good job that fits her criteria poses a constant issue. She needs a job that's not too far from home, pays good, has a good working environment and hopefully a great boss. She knew it was impossible for a job to reach those criteria's but she was hoping for something similar. She knew all the hard work it took to get her degree, she still has a bucket of loans to pay off, a good job will be a great reward for all her stress. After turning down too many 'okay' but not 'great'  jobs, she's stuck working for a shitty bus, in the dirtiest work environment that doesn't even pay well.




Joshua Austen, an average, yet not so average, guy from an average home. ( no rich guy offers her a dream job, way too cliche).  The middle Child in the home of three and the best brother ever, according to Cody, his younger brother. The outdoor's are his safe place, he place of tranquility. He is a master of games and getting whatever he wants, do you dare play his games?






These two people will meet (obviously)



These two average people have something to hide, something that makes them not so average, something for them to cling to, something to have.




Read on as they unravel the mystic, chase the forgotten. Will she play his games? Or will he get played?

Who is the real daughter: Miss lin takes no nonsense after her rebirth by prettykarinaa
141 parts Ongoing
Lin Yin was an unfortunate girl who lived in the slums for eighteen years because of mistaken identities at birth. Even though she was brought back to live with her real parents, there was no place for her amongst them. She was constantly bullied and scolded for no reason; her own biological parents would leave her in the dirt just because Su Fei shed a tear. Swindled, and betrayed the very person she fell in love with, she was finally going to escape her dark life when she realized that it was all a setup - that she was just a clown. She dragged her poisoned body as she tried to escape, but she was killed regardless at the loud crack of a gunshot. Her departed spirit watched as her biological parents coldly said, "She has never been our daughter. Burn her, throw her into the dirt - you can do whatever you like." As the guest left, a man stood sighing with sympathy. "Take her to a funeral home. Let's hope that in her next life, she can live for herself and not suffer so much grief." How laughable it was that she had lived for so long, but a stranger turned out to be the one who gave her a proper funeral! Soon, Lin Yin lost consciousness, and woke up to find that she had gone back in time, to the first year after she returned to the Su family! This time, she decided to live for herself without compromise! Still, just as she thought she would have to do this alone, she never imagined that she would be reunited with three brothers, although they never showed up in her last life! They were Mu Heng, the magnate, Mu Qing, the prodigious doctor, and Mu Ran, the heartthrob and movie star! In her last life, she gave her heart to the wrong people and suffered a tragic end, but in this life, her brothers were pampering her to death! Mu Heng: She's my sister! I'll protect her! Mu Qing: Who dares bully my sister! Mu Ran: She's my sister! I'll spoil her! Lu Ming: She's my wife! I'll watch over her! Mu Heng, Mu Qing, and Mu Ran: Get out!
My Ex - Crush by thefadedwhite
90 parts Ongoing
"I wish I had never met you!" Deepika's voice echoed across the classroom, each word a dagger to my heart. "Excellent! At least we finally agree on something!" I fired back, even as a tear betrayed the storm of emotions within me. With those final, stinging words, Deepika stormed out, leaving a heavy silence in her wake. The classroom felt like a graveyard, and I stood there, rooted to the spot, desperately wishing I could chase after her and demand the truth. Maybe letting her go was the right choice. Perhaps this is meant to be my unfinished love story, a tale of what-ifs and almosts... ✨ No Deepika. This can't be his bike. Not Arjun's. But I couldn't deny what I saw-the familiar brown Royal Enfield, now twisted and crushed. My heart hammered as I circled around, hoping, praying it wasn't true, until my gaze landed on the number plate: TN56 0809. Arjun's bike. Deepika! Stop imagining things! Arjun would be fine! I felt the world shift, the noise around me blurring into a single, deafening hum. Ambulance and police sirens echoed, and a stranger's voice broke through: "Two boys. Spot dead. College students." I clutched my chest, gasping for air as reality slammed into me. "Arjun..." I whispered, barely holding myself together. Tears stung my face as I sank beside the wreck. "No, Please, No!" My voice cracked as the weight of regret settled in, suffocating me. ✨ Ex-Crush: More than just a crush, but a little less than love. ✨ Arjun and Deepika were hopelessly in love-only they never realized it. Will they find their way to each other, or will their love story remain forever unfinished? ✨ Join Arjun and Deepika on a journey back to those dreamy college days-days where every moment felt eternal, love was unspoken yet ever present, where friendship bloomed like wildflowers, offering a sanctuary from the harsh winds of reality. Come, wander with them through the corridors of college days, where the echoes of laughter still linger.
