Kimberly Graham is a successful lawyer and a single mother to her eight-year-old son, Sam. The brown-skinned beauty had it hard growing up but had now reached a point in her life where she was satisfied with the way things were. For six years, it was only her and Sam until her ex, Colton Luther, one day showed up at her law firm asking for help. 

The history between them was passion-filled and abusive. From Colton's numerous affairs to an escalated fight that landed her in the hospital, it's easy to see why she'd rather keep her distance. Although sharing a child makes the perfect bridge for him to slither is way back into her life, Kimberly was a different woman then, but after all these years on her own, her heart is well guarded.

That however won't be enough to stop him from trying, even if the prize is already claimed by another.All Rights Reserved

love always, noah | Rewriting by softdreams_x

❝You'll always be the Golden Boy, but deep down, you're just an empty trophy.❞ **** Natalia Winters knows all about second place. For years, she's been clawing her way to the top-meticulously planning, studying until her vision blurs, and sacrificing sleep for success-all to keep up with everyone else's effortless brilliance. She's the girl who never feels good enough, who measures her worth against grades and achievements, who works twice as hard just to avoid falling into the void of mediocrity. And at every step of the way, there's Noah West: her lifelong rival, her mirror image of perfection, and her greatest source of frustration. Now, as senior year hurtles toward its finale, Natalia is determined to prove she's more than second best. But when Leo Martinez-Noah's best friend and the kind of charming that feels effortless-enters the picture, Natalia starts to believe she might deserve more than a life spent measuring up. Caught between her relentless drive for success and feelings she can no longer ignore, Natalia must face a terrifying truth: what if the perfection she's chasing isn't what she wants? And what if the boy she's spent years trying to outshine is the one who truly sees her? _______________________________________________________________________________ Start Date: 05.05.20 End Date: 29.05.20 Word Count: [[90,000-100,000]] #1 in TeenFiction 12/09/20 #1 in Abuse 09/11/20 100.000 Reads: 17/10/20 200.000 Reads: 12/06/21 240.000 Reads: 27/09/24
