"That could never happen to me".
A single thought shared by many of the people who walk among this planet with us. Is it because people believe that they will be smart enough to avoid certain situations, or that people believe that because a situation is so rare that it most likely won't happen to them? Sometimes, these things can't be avoided, but is that always a bad thing?

They started out as high school sweethearts and transitioned into something more serious as they both went to college. He loves her and she loves him, but things are about to change as the stress of being in a vanilla job mixes with the instability of his weathered relationship. They have done everything right, although undesirable situations have a way of dropping themselves right into your lap, no matter what you do, but Rohin finds that as his perfecting imperfect life is turned upside down, he is able to see why his life seems so austere.
Ultimately, he is led to a major choice that could either make or break his happiness.

Her Darkest Secrets
(Completed) Most people don't think horror movies are realistic. There is no ghosts, no demons, and no monsters waiting in the dark to get you. Rationally we know there is evil in the world. There are stories on the news about school shootings and domestic violence. That all by itself is enough evil we can handle. There can't possibly be supernatural evils out there too, right? That's what I believed until I met a woman who changed everything. *Teegan's life has never been very exciting. She works full time and takes college classes just for something to do. Her boyfriend is Mason and they've been best friends for years. After a sudden car accident Teegan meets a girl who can heal her wounds instantly. Without warning she is introduced to a supernatural world that existed right under her nose. Besides all that, her sexuality is tested as well. This mystery girl refuses to leave her mind and she can't deny the attraction.*Complete
One Plus Two Minus One
Beth thinks a casual encounter with a stranger at a party is a one-time thing, but he seems to have other plans. She is a brilliant young mathematics professor, and he turns out to be one of her students. Sleeping with him is against her college's rules, and may have a grave professional cost, but Beth is attracted enough to Ethan that she simply doesn't care. She breaks the rules, and sees him again, and begins to realize that she has become too lost in her work and forgotten how wonderful such moments can be. No-one is getting hurt, she thinks, and no harm is being done, so she sees no reason not to have her fun. Unfortunately, Beth is also in a long-term, long-distance, very off and on relationship that suddenly turns out to be on again. Robert is moving to be near her, to live with her, and although she doesn't want to give up sex with Ethan, she owes Robert something too. She can’t simply tell Robert they are done. She decides to be selfish and keep everything secret. Because she wants to put herself first, and because what Robert doesn't know won't hurt him, and because by keeping secrets she may, in the end, hurt everyone less. But mostly because she still wants Ethan, and doesn't seem to be able to make herself stop. One Plus Two Minus One is a novel of lust and desire, of the sensuality and confusion of meeting someone new, of the chaos and harm that secrets can cause, of avoiding choices, and making choices, and of foolishly hoping things will work out for the best. ====== I think Wattpad's R18 filters struck again. This has ten chapters, but the early ones all have padlocks and are marked private. So yeah, hopefully you can see them. And also, just to point this out again, that it's being blocked also means it's rude too, so don't look unless you're sure.Complete

Fated To Be
If God is not going to punish the sinner then I WILL. People sometimes say to you, "Don't bother with them, their karma will come back to them someday". That is why sometimes people break themself in order to wait for that moment. But sometimes that moment never comes and you yourself are the one rotting away in this miserable life, so why wait when you could put your hands in it? "You are wrong. Whether I am here or not, your punishment will always come to you, I just.. make it much sooner for you. As I didn't have time to wait any longer", he said with a dark gloomy eyes that had lost their lights. When Shen Wei ran away at the age of 15 years old, he never thought that he would come back again, trying to untie the knot that had been lingering in his heart for years, he came back once again trying to understand some events, but to be honest, for him, it is just an excuse, he just wants to see the lights once again, to be able to proudly says "Mom, I have made it, the sinner have already been punished and you have nothing to worry about anymore". Even if it means to drag others down to hell with him. Shen Wei, "Because since the beginning, we have not been given a choice, we have been entangled in this trap, if we don't struggle to get away, you and I will surely lose. And I.. am not the type of person who will easily let other people bully me" Notes: First time making my own character, I think it will be hard for me to clearly describe how the character would be, but I will try my best. I must say first that the timeline is around the early 20th century.. probably, it is fictional, so there must be things that are different compared to the history. Thank you for understanding and reading my work.
"Its Complicated"
STOP✋ PLEASE READ AND REREAD BEFORE CONTINUING MY STORY THIS FOR YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!! Sometimes FAN FIC life is a fairytale, Fanfics, so shallow especially Jacob Saturious ones. so I you want one with drama, plots twist, and real relations you come to the RIGHT place. 1. They will not instantly fall in love, this is NOT high school musical OK. 2. Every thing won't a magical coincidence, they WONT have every class together, they WONT be neighbors and No they won't FALL IN LOVE INSTANTLY AND GET MARRIED OKAY 3. This may have racial, and sexist slurs also some discrimination against religion, gender, and stuff about the LGBT community. I say this because two characters are close-minded. BUT I LOVE ALL PEOPLE, this is just the character personality, so if you are EASILY TRIGGERED by any on these please don't read this okay. We good okay you can continue okay. Mia? ?Complete
