Faith by hailythewriter

Working for a rich family like the Thompson's, knowing that she was just like them once was hard for Amelia.

It all changed for Amelia when a figure of her past slides it's way back into her life so suddenly that she didn't even know real from fake. It was too much for her and it was blamed all on faith.

Another Man's Treasure by Mechalen

"You've become so damaged that when someone tries to give you what you deserve, you have no idea how to respond." He says taking a step closer to me. I frown. "So, it's my fault? That I'm to blame for being damaged?" "No, it's not your fault at all, but it is your fault for believing you don't deserve better. That you don't deserve to be happy." Nathan looks away from my eyes, inhaling. "Maybe the little things that you consider your weakness are actually the things that people treasure most about you. Maybe you hate that you care too much...or that you wear your heart on your sleeve. But seriously, some people think that's the best damn thing about you. We all have different little things that make up who we are, we don't need to change those things, but we can choose who we share them with." "What are you saying?" Now so close to me, he places his palm on my cheek, and whispers. "You're treasure, Madison...I hope you realize that." ________ Nathan Lane a Billionaire heartthrob who has everything in his life.

A Blessing In Disguise by rhoda_readsbooks

[COMPLETE] When Sasha Parker is sent to a boarding school eight hours away from home, it's for all the wrong reasons. Defending herself shouldn't have brought her to her ultimate ruin. But it did. A punishment she felt she didn't deserve was accorded her. Blinded by hurt, rage and devastation she lashed out on people. People unbeknownst to her would become a bigger and better part of her life. There was so much she didn't know. Or cared to know. Because if she did, she'd have looked closer. Much closer to realize how the punishment had been a blessing all along. A blessing that had been disguised.
