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 - 10K

13 parts Ongoing Mature
UNTIL DEATH ( LOVE SHOULD NEVER BE THIS DEATHLY ) Love is often described as a profound and pure connection shared between two soulmates, characterized by selflessness and a desire to bring joy to one another. It embodies the essence of putting the needs of your beloved above your own, creating a bond that feels both sacred and exhilarating. However, love can also take a darker turn, transforming into a dangerous obsession that blurs the lines between affection and possession. Imagine a promise to yourself that no one can take your beloved away, a vow that they are yours for eternity, regardless of the circumstances. This intense devotion can spiral into a lethal fixation, where any perceived threat to the relationship ignites a fierce protective instinct-one that could lead to tragic consequences. Rosa Andrew, a 24-year-old embodiment of beauty and kindness, whose free-spirited nature and captivating smile draw admirers like moths to a flame. However, her life takes an unforeseen turn when she unwittingly captures the attention of not one, but two ruthless and powerful mafia leaders-Vincent Salvatore and Massimo Rosario. Each is determined to claim her as their queen, swearing never to let her go. This unfolding drama raises the stakes: Who will emerge victorious in this battle for Rosa's heart? Will the consuming forces of love, obsession, and possession ultimately lead to destruction, engulfing all in their fiery grasp, or will Rosa find a way to navigate this perilous love triangle and safeguard her own future?
