Cherise had lived with her mother, Yan, in their one-bedroom apartment her whole life. Adopted as a baby, when she had more fingers on her hand than days on earth, it was all she'd ever known. Two single beds, a lumpy sofa, the kettle and toaster, and the jammed cutlery draw; life was as simple as they came. So, uprooting, across thousands of miles and countless state lines, happened to be the craziest thing she'd ever done. But unbeknownst to her, it wasn't about to stay that way.
X-X
When tragedy struck his family just as he was hitting his prime teenage years, all Ajax Romero wanted was to fall headfirst off the rails. Heart crushed, he didn't know how he'd carry on, numbing the pain in his heart with hard liquor and endless women. But he was the head of the family now, and had the care of his siblings and family legacy to think of, and these days, years later, with a child of his own added to the mix, his heart was finally beating once more. But with the appearance of a vivacious cherry blossom in town, threatening to pull apart everything he's carefully weaved into place, he isn't sure just how much longer he'll be able to say that.

The Choices I've Made (By the Bay #1)

But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together. That was a long time ago. I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind. But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole. The problem? I'm marrying his best friend.Complete

Deep Like Water (Yandere!BEN Drowned X GN!Reader)
You never expected your parents to abandon you at the age of sixteen, and if it wasn't for the man your parents took in when you were ten, you would have been completely alone. Even after a year, you still half-expected them to come back. Your seventeenth birthday came and went with only two people to celebrate it, and you weren't related to either of them. Then came your eighteenth with the same two people. Your hobbies carried you through the loneliness that you found yourself in-although, your guardian told you again and again that ghost hunting wasn't a hobby. When a string of murders ravaged your town, your interest in both the paranormal and technology came in handy. If it wasn't for you, the case would never have been solved, and you never would have brought someone back from the dead, even if he did torture you with his embarrassingly truthful compliments and flirtatious lines. (this is a work of fiction. all the Pastas belong to their original creators. they are not real, nor am i saying that they are. the only thing i own is the plot and any OCs. please do not re-write my work. this is not a romanticisation.)Complete
