Given a choice to either say "I do" to an obnoxious, self-righteous man in favor of pleasing her Mother or becoming a fugitive and escaping her arranged marriage to live in the picturesque, Italian village of Pericolo, June Ives chooses the latter, however, to do so she must fake her suicide alongside her Maid of Honor, Amara Annsley's.

Quince Gottesman, the (almost) lover of Amara isn't so convinced of the death, resurrecting the case on June and Amara's supposed suicide the Mother of the Bride had so inconsiderately closed, convincing a sincere Officer to search for the pair with her.

Between the death of the two best friends and lingering romance in both Italy and England, the search for survival becomes the second biggest problem, especially when not everybody is exposed to be who they truly are.

For what reason does one wake up every day? People had always thought the life of ISAAC RUIZ couldn't be more perfect. Everything he wanted, he would get with his money and influence. What anyone didn't know was his real motivation to keep on living -- something that was silly for others, but a salvation for him. For office employee FLORENCE VILLENA, there was no longer any meaning to his existence. Nothing could fill the void he had been experiencing inside him anymore, and he was convinced the world was better off without him in it. At twenty-eight years old, LAURENCE VILLEGAS had a lot of reasons to wish to just sleep forever. Since losing his home and family, the universe had rarely been kind to him. And yet, he chose to survive, time and again, if only for the hope of seeing his life get a little better. On Friday the thirteenth of January 2023, fates began to entangle as Laurence died, Florence killed himself, and Isaac lost his reason to live. Nine months after the incidents, a new dawn fell upon those three lives when a dead man's soul reawakened in someone else's body. Set in a fictional Asian City called Perlientas. Mature topics: deaths, including self-killing (actual scene not depicted), mental health and other social issues, character thoughts that some may find disturbing or triggering. Despite those themes, the overall story's pretty tamed. Featured on: @Romance [Romantic Suspense] | September 2024 𝑷𝒂𝒅𝒂𝒖𝒌 𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒊 𝑨𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒔 𝑭𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆 - 𝑩𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑷𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝑪𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒈𝒐𝒓𝒚

"You've just been staring at me all day. Are you good?" Lila Moloney's insatiable curiosity had landed on Asher Wagner, the long-running Dux of her cohort at the prestigious Forestglade College. No longer the prim and proper poster child for their school's strict regimes upon returning from summer holidays, Lila couldn't shake the feeling that there was something disturbing lurking beneath this change. Perhaps it was the way that he spoke to her, upon being paired for an English project, or the way that his askew tie and tousled hair was so jarringly mismatched from the usual tendencies that he'd had over the past nine years. Year after year, he put in the most amount of effort out of anyone in their cohort in all facets of the College's metrics of pride - attendance, intelligence, sporting prowess, rule-following, and uniform-wearing - but now, when faced with their last two years at school, he looked to be giving up. Lila was dead-certain that he was hiding something, her voracious appetite for answers being practically genetic. But, as she starts to dig for answers, she discovers that everyone surrounding them has secrets they're trying to hide, practically begging to be revealed - including her emerging feelings for Asher. Will she uncover the truth underpinning his transformation? Or will it remain elusive, obscured by the concealed desires, goals and identities of those around her - including her own family? And just how is she meant to survive the trials and tribulations of high school life whilst pursuing the verity of the mysteries shrouding everything she thought she knew? And remember - trust no one, not even the missing. *Set in Australia | Mystery and romance are main themes | Note - swearing present, though not excessive | Posting Mondays & Fridays | CWs: Stalking, bullying, sexual harassment, vague references to suicide, violent murder of a person under 18 [note - fair way into the story and not glorified]*
