*on hold* Until Callan moved in next door, Presley was one hundred percent, completely fine with how her life was turning out.
She never regretted dropping out of college or wasting her days working in a diner for minimum wage. Boredom never plagued her, and she certainly never dwelled on things that happened in her past...
Callan was happy to be single for the first time in seven years. He wasn't heartbroken in the slightness. Did he use work as a distraction from his messy life? Absolutely not. And he had zero time or interest in his pretty neighbour. Besides, she was kind of annoying when she wasn't witty and adorable and sweet.
Isn't it funny, the lies we tell ourselves to get through the day?

High School Survival Theory
Life is hard. Specially when you're a high schooler. You can never know when your life is about to go up. And you 'especially' can never know when it's about to go down. But you can always take some precautions to avoid outcome of the hit. At least that's what I thought before the great 'Ashton Fellan' (pardon the sarcasm) interposed himself in my life. ... "We don't have the prettiest history. We didn't exactly like each other when we first met. You're my rival's girlfriend. We weren't interested in becoming friends with each other. But now in this difficult time, we're befriending. You'll help me to find the person who leaked that photo and prove to the coach that the article was not a self-promo to challenge his ideology." "What's in this for me?" "I won't report on you for invading my privacy. Trust me when I say my dad knows people." I roll my eyes. Never get mixed up with people with money. But maybe a little help won't be so bad after all. So I take his hand and shake it. "Okay, we have a deal." He smiles. "Now let's drink to celebrate." And I already have a bad feeling about this. *cover picture collected from Pinterest* © 2020 SHEONACC001 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.Complete
Heirs Of Aurous
❝ They say, who loves first, falls hardest, but what if this story is she fell first, he fell harder. ❞ Truths hurt, lies are a blasphemy in a relationship. But have you ever felt it? When everything feels like they're infinitely stretching your soul and tearing it into tiny pieces of who you once were. For me, my past hides my mistakes, and in my future, she's the only one I see. But do I even deserve her? For me, smiling is no better than a sin. Love seems like a punishment. Falling for someone again feels like a luxury. So why am I getting a second chance? For me, Love always feels like a gut-wrenching feeling, all-consuming and unattainable. But is it really that far? They say hate and love are divided by just a fine line. As they both stand on either side, am I really letting go of the hand I once held dear?

Mystery Diary (DISCONTINUED)
Ok started this in 2017, it's currently 2019 and I'm not the same person who wrote this, my style is completely different and so are my opinions and personality, I apologise if u want to read this but I like to keep it up on here as a memory of who I was. Elle Gordy. That's me. Plain old Elle Gordy. I was completely happy and content with my life. That's what everyone thought. No one knew how I hated almost every day in the year. There's more to me than what meets the eye. No one knew that I was thriving for something interesting to happen in my life. Everyone saw me as a straight A student who never did anything wrong. Because everyone saw me as that person I could never be anything else. Until something changed everything. Something gave me a chance to be myself. And this is how it all happened.Complete

Coming Home
Completed. When you meet someone that makes you feel like the whole world is made out of diamonds and you are as happy as you ever wished for, you expect to grow old by his side. You will do anything for him, and he will do everything for you. Since forever isn't promised to anyone and the chosen roads will lead far away from one another, would there be any chance to meet again? They say there are all types of love, but never the same love twice, what if, there was only one love that melted your heart in a way that made you fly to the sky to be kissed by an angel? What if, his arms are the only ones you would want around you? What would you give to feel his touch and his lips, once again before you die? What if there was a secret to tear you up from the inside? Would love be enough to keep two different people together? All rights reserved.

Tangled Love
"You only live once." This is the overly used excuse that we use every time we make a decision and that's fine because it's true. This also goes with 'Love'. For once in our lives, we would eventually experience this love - the kind of love that just can't die. A love, though not being returned, we are still willing to take the risk. We expect that somehow, someday we will be rewarded. But how long can we give that love a chance? Are we really capable of giving so much without asking anything in return? Are we really capable of being happy, just seeing the person we love happy with someone else? How can we untangle something so twisted like LOVE? How can we survive without breaking? How can we live without hating? Brace yourself for it will be a long roller coaster ride to what we call 'HAPPINESS' - D A L E (myLovelymind) Cover by: @ShebaHanna 🎉Complete
The Borrowed Fiancé
Borrowing him was supposed to be harmless. Falling for him? Not part of the deal. Everly Allen doesn't do love stories anymore. Not after watching one destroy everything she believed in. With her brother's wedding days away, a family obsessed with her relationship status, and a past she can't outrun, she makes a reckless decision. She borrows a man. A fake boyfriend. A distraction. Easton Hayes, tattooed, brooding, infuriatingly smug, is the last person she should've chosen. He's the CEO of Chrome Customs, her best friend's fiancé, and the man she once wanted so badly it nearly broke her. But Hailey insisted. She planned it. She pushed them together. Because Hailey always had a plan. What Everly doesn't know, what she's never supposed to find out, is that this isn't a harmless favor. It's a lie. One so carefully constructed it blurs the line between loyalty and betrayal. And the night before her brother's wedding, the truth starts to crack. Every look from Easton feels like a confession. Every touch feels like something borrowed. And every secret Hailey kept begins to unravel, one piece at a time. Because this fake relationship isn't fake at all. It's a slow burning fuse tied to a secret that could destroy them all. Some love stories start with a kiss. This one starts with a lie. And theirs might end with the one thing Everly never saw coming, goodbye. Because some love stories aren't just complicated, they're impossible. And the truth waiting at the end of theirs? It might be the most heartbreaking twist of all. Sometimes love begins with a lie. And ends with a goodbye. A slow burn, angsty fake dating romance about forbidden longing, buried truths, and the kind of betrayal that makes you question everything you thought was love.Complete
The Men Next Door
✅ Complete ✅ When Campbell Kramer accepted a job offer in Manhattan, she never could've imagined what the city had in store for her. Namely, two handsome men who live on either side of her new apartment. One is older, one is younger. One is introverted, one is extroverted. One is serious, one is playful. Both of them want her attention. What could go wrong? ☲☲☲☲☲ ☆Brooks☆ My neighbor was the one to close the distance between us. She did it quickly--like she was scared the moment would pass away forever if she let another millisecond go by--and I rested my hand on the side of her face to steady her. Something about my touch must have given her courage. ♡Campbell♡ The men finally greeted each other while I snipped the green, woody stems and plopped them into the tallest mug I owned. Their sentences were short and awkward, and as I rearranged the blooms for the umpteenth time, the realization that they'd told each other what happened hit me like a south-bound train. I don't know why I didn't expect that. They were best friends, after all. I was just the girl next door. They had no loyalty to me, no reason to keep our time together a secret. ☆Luca☆ Her lips met mine slowly, softly, hesitantly--like she wasn't so sure kissing her neighbor was the best idea--and I responded just as delicately. But when her hand made its way into the back of my hair, our bodies melded together like a lust-struck alloy. And the only hope of separating us was to add more heat. ☲☲☲☲☲ Featured by: 📙 @Wattpad • Love Triangles 💘😈 (July 2025) • Spicy Summer Reads (July 2024) • Endless Reading Mode 🧡 (Jan 2024) • Summer in the City 🥵 (June 2023) 📕 @Romance • Love Triangle (April 2025) • New Adult (June 2024) 📘 @Ambassadors • Hot Encounters (Dec 2024) 📗 @ChickLit • Rom-Com (Oct 2025) • Ambassador's Picks (Jul 2025) Awards: 🥈 Romance runner-up (The Prime Awards 2023)Complete
