SEQUEL TO - ESPRESSOLY FOR YOU; a one shot.

Daisy, twenty-two and a culinary graduate was set to crack her first interview and impress the head chef but when asked to meet the restaurant manager for a final word, things took a turn into the surprise lane. Unaware of his identity, her world stopped spinning on its axis when she discovered it to be her crush since past four years.  

Philip's face was the reminder of her affection and obsession with the veteran who came to her café and stole her heart when she was barely eighteen. Although young Daisy couldn't pacify the intricate ridges of her heart from yearning for the man, the confident girl of today knew well, not to succumb. 

She may have let Philip go long ago, her determination to make him stay this time was chiseled in rock.

But the only problem, Philip was unaware of Daisy's emotional rollercoaster and sadly, visually impaired to see what her aching heart put to display every time he even looked at her.  

Follow Daisy's journey and the life path she choose, acknowledging her fears and accepting her rogue feelings.

𝐼𝑛𝑎𝑑𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑙𝑦: 𝑊𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛; 𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦. In this mystifying tale, Nora Adette Seong finds herself in a strange predicament where she is heavily distraught because of a man that will inevitably cause her pain- yet she cannot seem to contain her relentless emotions for him as he, himself grows increasingly obsessed with her. A sighting at a Café, a scarring kidnap- which leads to a bittersweet parting. ꧁꧂ What if they meet after two years? What if they reconvene even though it may-be paradoxical and evidently awry, love is a mercurial emotion especially for a man who's never cared to experience it. What if this stone-hearted man establishes something rather vehement for this intricate yet assertive woman? As Nora familiarizes herself with the frenzy of the wealth surrounding her, and the society that revolves around the mafia- how will she navigate her true authenticity despite these perplexities? ꧁꧂ Trigger Warning - Mentions of PTSD and content that may hold triggering content.

Diamond Heart 💎 by bellamerce

------- He loved the girl that can't love him.....And now he can't love the girl that loves him -------- ** "Don't worry.." I say, getting up off the chair and walking around him on my way out, my scarf running through his fingers lightly until it slips out. He tilts his head back over the back of his chair in a lazy laid back way, his thumb and fingers now holding his chin, as he watches me leave, still with a small smile on his face. "I won't break your heart." I turn around and say lightly, jokingly, just to tease him. His smile fades. "You won't...because you can't break what's already broken." He says more seriously. ******* Once bitten, twice shy Such is the case for Aaron Bishop, who after a failed marriage, decides that love and all things related, is not worth the trouble. So he moves forward with his future, making sure that no woman is unclear about his intentions about love, or carries any hopes of marriage and happily ever after..that is not in his destiny. It's really simple actually: -Nothing lasts forever... especially love. -Nothing is long term... When it comes to his relationships. -Everyone is replaceable... So don't get too comfortable. But that is not to say that the ride will not be exceptionally enjoyable, while it lasts.. But such an arrangement, is not something Raquel St Patrick can wrap her head around. Whimsical, Peculiar, Optimistic, Independent, Eccentric, Deviant...are all words one can use to describe her, Her very nature is to go against the odds. For her, it's all or nothing. Can Aaron convince her to jump along on the ride with him on his terms....? But what happens when the lines start to get blurred and they get so intertwined that it's harder to separate, than stay together. * Books by Bellamerce 1) Only For You (Completed) 2) When Stars Align (Completed) 3) Fire On Fire (Completed) 4) Diamond Heart (Completed)

The Way Love Changes You; Book One: Love's Firsts by redisle_love

Love can feel empowering. Love can be deadly. It can be the greatest thing to ever happen. It can be the biggest mistake that can't be reversed. It can feel like a dream come true. It can feel like a nightmare that you can't wake up from. Love changes people in many ways, from mild to severe, whether it's beneficial or detrimental in anybody's life, no matter if you're lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual, pansexual, or a person who just loves people without a label. How does love change you? ******* It's like your basic high school love story, except it's with adults in their early-mid 20s, and they're either still in college or have graduated from college and have jobs. It's a modern slice of life narrative novel about lesbians trying to find true love or wanting to get back into the love game. Five of these lovely characters share their own little tales of how love changes them first go, or their first time in forever! Their perspectives on love as it takes effect either get sensual, dramatic, or to the extent of a slow burn, as they also deal with life's obstacles along the way and share a part in each other's stories. There are ups and downs as their own stories go along, and it all gets more suspenseful towards the end where problems unfortunately arise. Will things get better or worse from here for these lovestruck lesbians as the story goes on?
