Love, like life itself, is a fragile thing. It can distract you from the harshness of reality and remind you of it. Sometimes what makes things easier is finding someone to share that with. But... life isn't a freaking fairytale, it's hard and it takes the smallest things to bring us back to that reality. To keep us grounded.
People don't tend to look past the Superman and just see the man underneath. Clark Kent has realized that he has had enough of being put down and used by the women he thought cared for him in the same way he does for them but all he has ever gotten was ridicule, pain, and betrayal. Thinking that he is meant to be truly alone no matter what he does, he begins to give up on finding his happiness Maybe Ma Kent was wrong, there isn't somebody out there for everybody. Or maybe it just takes a different way of seeing life through someone else's eyes to enjoy the little things that entrance us. Then there's Ettie. She has given up on trying to have a fairytale love story, it's unrealistic and a waste of time. Too many people have been hurt waiting for prince charming. Everything is about give and take, her past has taught her that much, stalking her at each chance. She is so tired of putting others before herself, even at the risk of her own safety, but no more. From this point on, she'll only put in as much effort as they do, she'll care as much as they do, no more and no less. This way she can be happy, right?
Join these two on their journey of self-discovery and acceptance as they overcome their fears.

Ollie Savage
Ollie had the looks that could afford him any girl. He had nerves of still and the hunger for more, so much more out of life. Friends are always good to have, but what if your best friend sets you up with his drop dead gorgeous sister? He knew. Oliver knew she was too hot and too naughty to resist. The fear of being blown off by her made him want her even more. She knew he was dangerous but so we're her brothers. It was the perfect storm, for he was her kind of man, a very dangerous man. Everything about their love triangle said danger but no one wanted to back out while they still could. Deena stayed with him, for his was her wedded husband. But so did Nancy, for he was hers to win over. What both women did not realise was there was another secret competitor. There was the beautiful and extrovert Linda, Deena's younger sister also lacking in the shadows. She was after him and nothing would stop her from pursuing him. You see, what these three women failed to realise was Ollie was happy to love them, to protect them and to provide for them all. This was the life he had glamorised as a child in his native village, back in Zambani, Africa. Having relocated and lived in Great Britain for the better half of his life was not going to change that part about him. Polygamy was part of who he was. The only new thing about Ollie now was being a gangster, a big beautiful gangster. One would think he'd stop chasing that money once his business had taken off but no, not Ollie. The chase gave him a reason to love and to live. For without it, he simply had no reason to love or to live. This story is based on true events. Events that encompassed an African culture. #polygamy #sisterwives #literaryfiction #gangsterComplete
yours to keep - clark kent
𝘊𝘓𝘈𝘙𝘈 𝘍𝘓𝘖𝘙𝘌𝘚, one of the new interns at the Daily Planet hasn't always felt like she belonged. Ever since she was a little girl she always felt like an outcast. Whether it was her talking about interests that girls "shouldn't" be into like superheroes or dinosaurs or even when she was talking about things girls "should" be into. However, everytime she picked a camera, she felt like her story belonged. That her side mattered. No one would know it was her behind the camera unless they looked at the citation. She could tell any story she wanted in a photograph without feeling like an outcast. That was up until Clark Kent came along and made her realize her story didn't just have to be in a photograph, but that it could be outside of the photograph. That her story did matter. She mattered. story made by - anevilresident!! <3Complete
Disaster-in-Waiting NOW AVAILABLE TO BUY ON AMAZON
WARNING R-RATED Disaster-in-Waiting was a dream come true for me. Firstly writing it and then sharing it on here and receiving such a wonderful response to it. It was because of the support and encouragement on here that I finally took the decision to self-publish as an e-book. It is available on Amazon and can be read for free on there with Kindle Unlimited. ****Mature audience only due to adult themes; sex, language and situations**** Eloise Ross is married to Michael, her much older and recently retired husband. He fills his days with golf and walking the dog, while she fills her days working as a newly appointed P.A. to the CEO of an international company. One night, disillusioned with her sexless marriage she goes out alone, drinks beer and dances with a handsome stranger. The moves on the dance floor quickly lead to passion and excitement like El has never known, but it was only one night, one time. Just that once couldn't mean anything, could it? Just that once changed her view on everything she'd ever thought she'd known or valued; her home, family, husband and marriage, but most of all herself. As her life begins to unravel, with twists and turns that make her laugh, cry and despair El has only one constant to hang onto, her handsome stranger. "Because I don't want to end it. I'm not exactly what you'd call experienced," I said with a warm flush creeping up my cheeks. "I thought everything I had, with Michael was an ideal life until that night, when I met you and something switched inside me, a realisation that it was as far from ideal as anything ever could be. I don't think I'm being clear here, sorry. I am not trying to pin my happiness or the consequences of this on you, God, I don't even call you by your first name so to expect anything of you is not realistic!"Complete
