Clariette is a woman with a unique inherent beauty that anyone will be attracted to. She is a black beauty woman, but her behavior is not good enough for everyone to like.
Ever since she failed her first love, she promised herself that she would never let another man into her life who would only hurt her. Many men tried to enter her life, but no one succeeded. But there came an Ethan Malivs in her life, who's patiently courted her even though she pushed it away. Will she be able to open her heart again for this man?
Love is like a flower; the more you take care of it, the more its beauty blooms, and when it's not nurtured and loved, it withers. Just like love, you have to give them importance and shower them with love so that they'll stay in your arms.
If the black rose can be used as a symbol of death and mourning, does that mean that their love story will end in death?

Written in Blood
I did the one thing I promised her I would never do, no matter what, and now she hates me. She absolutely despises me and she's doing everything in her power to make my life a living hell, even if she hurts herself in the process. Even if it gets her killed. Not that my life wasn't a living hell before she started on her quest. It was. It has been ever since she left me and took my heart with her. Ever since she's turned into one of us. As per always, I will be putting trigger warnings below, and I will add to the list as new potential triggers become relevant to the story. Always feel free to let me know if I have missed any.

Destined By Fate
Kendall has always lived a quiet life in a small town in Illinois with her family, friends, and boyfriend Jordan. Her life had been mostly happy other than when her best friend moved away when she was 10. It took her years to get over that loss. Then several years later, tragedy struck when her father passed away suddenly and Kendall was forced to move with her mom closer to Chicago where she could find a job to support the two of them. Little does Kendall know that she is in for the surprise of a lifetime. From the book.... As he catches up to me, he grabs my arm swings me around and with one swift movement he ushers me into a nearby empty classroom with the lights off. He cages me in against the wall. His close proximity is making me dizzy and my mind is thinking very dirty thoughts. Wait no. I can't think like that anymore. "Kendall." He says hungrily. "You are mine and only mine. You drive me wild and no one else can have you." He says as he attacks my lips. It feels so amazing I can't help but kiss him back. I run my hands through his beautiful hair and he groans into the kiss. Man I don't want this to ever end. I feel drunk on him. I don't think I can let him go. He stops suddenly to finish his thoughts. "No one can make you feel like this. Or kiss you here...." He says as he kisses down my neck. I moan and he smirks pulling his face impossibly close to mine. "..or touch you." He says as he takes his hand and brushes it lightly down my arm and he snakes it back around my back pulling me even closer if that is possible. He finally stops at my ass which he squeezes delightfully and I hum in response. Warning: Contains graphic sexual content. Read at your own discretion. You will not be warned ahead of time.

Mrs. Avery
Love is strange. It exists in many forms and is one of the key components that makes humans happy, but there isn't a lot of understanding surrounding it. At least not the kind of understanding with which the average person identifies. Agnes is one of the few people that can accept all kinds of love. Despite her dated name, she is a woman in her late 20's dealing with the death of most of her family. She's now stuck in the middle of figuring out how to raise children that she never saw in her future and deciding what love means for her, when it has to exist within layer upon layer of complication. She let go of her boyfriend after almost a decade because their love wasn't meant to exist under the strain of children, only to find herself confronted with the overpowering connection of her old high school sweetheart. The same man she ran away from because their values hardly aligned when it came to how love should be expressed long term. Within the midst of learning how to raise children and balance her ever-building career, Agnes tries to recover from her mother's death, seek comfort without complicating her circumstance, and figure out why her mother would name her Agnes. Finding real comfort starts to feel impossible, as her most available options are her ex-boyfriend and her assistant. Completed! Rejected 6 times** "This one just isn't for us." By far the most plain rejection I have ever received and I can respect it. 1/22/2022 - 1K 9/28/2022 - 10KComplete

Remember Me ~ wlw
Ashley was the girl people warned each other about. The one you weren't supposed to get close to. She carried the weight of past mistakes and broken relationships like ghosts that refused to let her sleep. Quiet, observant, unreadable-her silence made people uncomfortable. So they filled it with rumors. They stripped her mystery and replaced it with a label: troubled. Lily was everything Ashley wasn't allowed to be. The golden girl. The name that echoed through hallways in whispers and headlines. Everyone watched her, wanted her, envied her. But admiration has a way of blinding people. They never saw the enemies she fought in private-her addiction, the ache of an absent father, the chaos she kept hidden behind perfect smiles. On a Saturday morning, in a room meant for confessions and second chances, their worlds collided. A meeting no one talked about. A place that demanded honesty and secrecy in equal measure. They were there for different reasons, carrying different scars-but the same need to be understood. And that's where they saw each other. Not as labels. Not as rumors. Just two girls with secrets no one else could touch. What happens when two hidden worlds collide? •••• She tasted good but intoxicating. Tasted like alcohol. Tasted like my addiction I wanted moreComplete

The cut that always bleeds
I was what they called a perfectionist. I had everything planned out and wanted a simple straightforward life. Things at home were hectic, disturbed, painful and heart-breaking. I decided that I wanted to stay away from all people that could possibly hurt me. For example, friends, extended family, judgemental neighbours and worst of all, the one I dreaded the most... love. But of course, as any normal story goes, I was unable to steer clear of love. I was unable to steer clear from him. I let myself drown in merciless water, drown so deep, the surface was out of the question. I let myself escape and wonder in his inequitable love, so blinded, so foolish. I thought I could no longer drown. But that day. That one day. That day ensured my belief. That I would forever drown alone.Complete
