Following Elijah's obsession with a younger woman, who is stuck in a dysfunctional relationship while being filled by desire to branch out
She watched him with admiration, something confrontational in her gaze. She seemed to be searching beyond the surface with her dark eyes at all times, diving though whatever depth hid behind the gaze of the recipient. She saw beyond what showed on his surface, always looking for something to understand him better.
She was like a drug, soaring through his veins and attacking all systems in his body while removing every ounce of sense from his being. Elijah would relapse on her everyday, if it meant he could as much as dream of being the one she looked at that way. His yearning for her, his Delilah, grew with every day that passed, and became harder and harder to contain.
"My darling Delilah, your love fills me with so much fear, but it leaves me dauntless."

The Space in Between
*** New chapter every Thursday ! *** None of them meant to hurt each other. That's the part people forget about slow-burning disasters, they don't begin with betrayal. They begin with kindness. With glances held a second too long. With private jokes that start feeling more like confessions. With one moment that could have meant nothing, and instead, meant everything. They were four people who once shared everything: the same group chat, the same half-formed dreams, the same late nights on rooftops and in lecture halls, talking about who they might become. And then the lines blurred. Someone kissed someone they shouldn't have. Someone stayed silent when it mattered most. Someone joked instead of admitting what they felt. And someone kept everyone else emotionally afloat while quietly sinking. There was no fight. No scandal. Just a slow drift into emotional ambiguity, a friendship that eroded in glances, apologies, and timing that never aligned. Now, years later, they've been asked to build an art exhibit together. The theme? Memory. It's poetic, in a cruel way. They're supposed to create something honest while still pretending they've moved on. But the truth is still there, buried beneath words unsaid, under a kiss that shouldn't have happened, inside jokes that now sting, and a friendship that still aches. This isn't a love story. This is what came after. This is the space in between.

As their friendship begins to shift, Jude finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about love and friendship.

But Noah has always been blind to her feelings-until it's too late.Lengkap
The Devil's Crybaby
Eliza Labelle had survived a shooting that should have killed her, but surviving turned out to be the beginning of her problems rather than the end. After waking in a hospital bed with a bullet wound and a government determined to bury the incident, she discovered that the man responsible had vanished behind the walls of a place most people only whispered about. While her family tried to push her back into her privileged city life, strange events and growing unease made it impossible for her to forget what happened. When she was suddenly taken from everything she knew and dragged beyond the safety of the world she had grown up in, Eliza found herself trapped in a brutal land ruled by old loyalties, hidden power structures, and people who lived by laws far different from those of the city. As she struggled to survive among dangerous strangers, she uncovered secrets that connected powerful families, forbidden territories, and a world that had been carefully hidden from ordinary people. The deeper she was pulled into that world, the harder it became to separate friend from enemy, truth from manipulation, and survival from sacrifice. What began as a fight to return home slowly became a journey that forced her to confront the darkest parts of human nature, the cost of loyalty, and the reality that some doors could never be closed once they were opened.
Even If It Wasn't Love
Sometimes love isn't what it seems - it's pain, confusion, hope, and everything in between. Caught between the memories of what once was and the fear of what could be. She fell for the boy who made her feel seen, who built her up when she was broken - and then shattered her all over again. But even now, with all the pain, she can't let go. She still needs him. Still wants him. If you've ever been lost in the middle of love and doubt, this story is for you. Even If It Wasn't Love is a story about holding on to the very thing that's tearing you apart - and wondering if maybe, just maybe... it was love all along.Lengkap

When We Were Us
They were always together-until they weren't. Lyric was his anchor, his safe place. Elijah was her whole world, even when he didn't see it. She loved him in silence, watching as he gave his heart to someone else. She smiled through the pain, pretending it didn't hurt. Then one day, she let go. Years pass. Lives change. But some ties don't break so easily. When their paths cross again, old wounds resurface, and unspoken words hang heavy between them. He had her once and didn't know it. Now he sees her-but she's not the same girl who waited for him. This time, it's his turn to chase. ---![A Crush is Like a Cavity [Completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/388968099-256-k727017.jpg)

Daisies for Delilah
C O M P L E T E D Previously called: They Met On A Sunday ☙❦❧ "Beautiful," he mumbled to himself as he studied the way her hair fell down her shoulders. How her cheekbones sat. How her eyelashes brushed her brow bone. Everything about her. "Hmm?" she sounded out. She heard what he said, but refused to believe he was saying it about her. She was probably hallucinating. She shook her head to try and clear her mind. He watched her in amusement. "Um sorry," she mumbled, "I think I'm hearing things." She laughed awkwardly, letting her eyes stray from his face and look at anything else she could possibly look at. "No you weren't," he corrected her. "You heard right." She lifted her head in surprise and he was already smirking. The glint in his eyes told her that he wasn't lying either. Her heart swelled and she bit her lip instinctively. He groaned. "Fuck Delilah don't do that," his eyes darkened as he admired her plump lips, waiting for the moment he could kiss them. "For my sake." ☙❦❧ A story about a girl who thought she loved a boy; a story about a boy the girl didn't love. ☙❦❧ #1 in the Bouquet Bunch Short Story. Cover by @xtruebeautyx Copyright ©Lengkap
