Fix Me, I'm Broken
Walking into an empty house is normal to me. I guess I got tired of saying 'I'm home' when nobody is home to reply. It wasn't always like this. I remember when our family was close. Now we don't see each other any more. We don't talk to each other. We don't eat with each other. We don't ACKNOWLEDGE each other. This all happened after my 'Mother' killed herself. My father blames me. This is my story about how I learned to not count on anyone else but myself. I'm broken. I'm used. No one can fix me.

Irresistible
I looked up at the man in front of me. He was HOT. But he was also forbidden fruit. He was Alex's brother for God's sake! My boyfriend's brother, none the less. I shouldn't feel at all attracted to him, but the way he was looking at me right now... This wasn't right. He leaned closer though. I was losing all control right then. He pressed his lips to my jaw and my mind went completely blank, like it always does when he was this close. This was wrong. This was wrong. I knew it, but I couldn't bring myself to find the reason. Then it came to me. Alex. Alex would be angry. Now I seemed like a whore. Another kiss, on my neck this time, and another thought slipped away. This is still wrong... Why though? Think Beatrice! Alex came to mind again. Alex came to mind again. I knew there were more reasons than that, but I couldn't think of them at the moment. He moved his lips again, this time peppering kisses across my collarbone and he stopped at the hollow of my throat. I gasped softly. Now my mind was empty. I wasn't even thinking clearly. The only thought that passed my mind was that I wanted more of this. More of him.Complete
Tethered By Lust
It's not worth it anymore. The fighting, the hurt, the beatings. It was never going to be worth it. But for love...well love makes you stupid. And I loved him with all my heart. I met the real man who would save me. Like how Bell was saved from Gaston. Except she lived the high life and didn't fear for her existence after her first encounter. After my first encounter with Axel, and a dreamy one-night stand. The only option for me was to stay away from him and keep to Marcus. But Marcus is destroying me. *** "Don't you dare tell me how easy it is to leave and abusive relationship when you've never been in one, Axel!" Tears poured down my cheeks and all I wanted to do in that moment was crawl into the same hole I should never have crawled out from and die. "And I was heartbroken, and scared and anxious. I was worried and I felt weak, and I had no idea how I was ever going to come up with the strength. But I just closed my eyes and took a blind leap. I found you, Cordilia and I'll be dammed if I let that asshole take you away from me."Complete

FADING ECHOES OF US
Alexander Villaventura is a rich teenage boy whose life took a drastic turn after the death of his mother. His world shattered, and so did the way his father treated him. Despite trying his best to live up to his family's expectations, Alexander was always treated like the black sheep of the family. No matter how hard he worked, his efforts were never enough, and he was constantly blamed for things beyond his control. This created a growing distance between him and his father, leaving him to navigate a life filled with emotional turmoil and isolation. William Timothy Montenegro, on the other hand, is a young and successful businessman who was exposed to the world of business and money from an early age. He grew up in the business world, learning from his grandfather, and eventually became the heir to his family's fortune. Though wealthy and well-established, William's life lacked something-something real and personal that went beyond just success and material gain. The fates of these two young men collided when their paths crossed unexpectedly. Though their backgrounds were worlds apart, their shared pain and struggles connected them in ways they never imagined. The moment they met, their lives began to change in ways neither of them expected. For Alexander, William was a strange yet comforting presence-someone who understood the weight of carrying family expectations and the deep loneliness that came with it. Meanwhile, William found himself drawn to Alexander's vulnerability and strength, admiring how the younger man silently carried the burden of his family's expectations. What started as a chance encounter soon evolved into something more. A bond formed between them, a connection neither could deny. As the days went on, both began to realize they were no longer the same people they were before meeting each other.Complete
