Update: Back to working on this book.
This work is my creation. The names are of my imagination. Don't copy any part of my book.. I will find out.. No author should have her work stolen for any reason..
We gathered on the bus heading to the designated meetup site. Once the bus came to a full stop and I stepped off the last step, I took in the dusty, muddy site. Swallowing the lump in my throat. A group of ten police officers and medics stood off to the side, not too far away, in deep conversation. The middle one giving off this powerful aurora. I looked at him one last time before heading off to where our team captain was. As I stood there listening to our team leader, I felt this cold sensation climbing down my spine. Glancing over my shoulder, I caught the man in the middle staring with his eyes fixated on me. My brain kept working overtime, trying to figure out who he was.
A few seconds later, a stone-faced man stood in front of us, giving out instructions and splitting everybody up into groups of 6. He glanced in my direction, signaling me to follow them.
Together, we navigated the wreckage, calling out for survivors, our voices swallowed by the twisted metal and splintered wood. We dug with bare hands, fueled by adrenaline and the desperate hope that someone, somewhere, still clung to life. Each discovery-a child's doll, a photo frame, a half-buried pet-wrenched at our hearts.
Amongst the chaos, we discovered something profound: family isn't always bound by blood. It's forged in the crucible of shared struggle, in the moments when survival hinges on collective effort. Our makeshift family became my anchor-the reason I pushed through fatigue, the reason I kept digging, the reason I believed in hope when all seemed lost. My name is Amara Wong, and this is my story.

I Want You No Matter What (Book 2) Completed
Life had taken a turn for the better ever since my troubled brother was incarcerated for life. However, one day, a sense of unease crept over me and my best friend as we noticed a mysterious figure tailing us through the bustling town. "Ally, who's that man?" my best friend inquired, her voice tinged with concern. I scanned the area nervously, my heart pounding. "We should get out of here," I urged, seizing her arm as we hastily made our way through the crowded streets. Abruptly, I awoke from a disquieting nightmare, my screams ricocheting through the silent house. "Mom, there's a man chasing me in my dreams," I gasped out, my hands trembling. She attempted to soothe me, attributing the tumultuous visions to my overactive imagination. On one occasion, I inadvertently overheard my mom and aunt engaged in a hushed conversation, puzzling over what impending revelation they were deliberating. Eventually, I mustered the courage to confront the enigmatic man who had been shadowing me. "Why have you been following me? Who are you?" I demanded, my voice quivering with trepidation. "I am Aleekie Smith," he disclosed, leaving me dumbfounded. "You're the man from my dream," I whispered, the pieces falling into place. The drama unfolded further as I crossed paths with a former boyfriend adamant on asserting control, his aggression escalating to a perilous climax when he brandished a firearm. Feeling ensnared, I made a pivotal decision to extricate myself from the tumult, severing ties with everyone in a dramatic departure. Amidst escalating tension and conflict, an unexpected source of solace materialized in the form of my father, ushering the narrative into an unforeseen trajectory. To uncover the compelling trajectory of events that ensued, I urge you to continue reading. This is merely the entrancing prologue of the gripping saga that awaits.

Burning for Her: A Love Out of Tune
"She said she hates me?" Then let her hate me so much she can't breathe without thinking of me. I don't want her back just to hold her hand. I want her to be mine. Her soul, her fire, her chaos... all of it. And I swear on every ounce of pain I carry... I'll make her feel safe again. I'll make her feel chosen. I'll make her feel like no man on this cursed earth can touch what's mine. Because she is mine. She always was. And I don't care if the stars fall, or if the gods scream, or if fate tries to rewrite the story... This time, I'll cry for her. I'll bleed for her. I'll kneel for her if I have to. Because she's the war I'll never stop fighting. So, Ira... Be angry. Be distant. Be cruel if you must. But I'm coming to you. Just a few more hours, and you'll see... The man who once broke you... Will be the man who worships your soul like it's the only truth that ever mattered. And I promise... You will love me. Even if it starts with hate. Even if I have to burn myself to light your way. Because what is mine... Will be mine...

Let it Rain | Orianna | Book1 | WLW
[Completed] (ShortStory) [women -loving- women] [girlXwoman] I came across a woman, to me, she's different at first sense. I wasn't sure how my existence turns out to be that day. By only gazing at her, I was fallen into my emotions. I couldn't find reasons to take away my eyes off her, millions of thoughts by just gazing at her. My existing state of mind is present at that moment, but I couldn't find any reason to describe her. How I felt, I was fascinated quickly by her. I didn't ask her name, but I saw the card she provided me to pay her bill, her name was Orianna Ferguson. I arrived back to let her sign, she brought her pen and stroke the pen signing, and was done. Noticing, she didn't even stare at all the papers where she signed. I leave after and let her enjoy her moment time alone. "Hey! Kiss! She can't see..." said the other staff saw a lowered tone, almost whispering, lowering her head down. "You didn't notice, do you? No judgments. I mean, she's a regular guest, I call her a lady in a hat." Dana, my co-waitress sneered while she said. Since the day I was bothered by the idea, she got me mesmerized. Should I talk to her? Or rather, have this dumbfounded idea. Waiting and standing here from afar, contented gazing enthralling her unique beauty on purpose. I have a million reasons to accept the fact. Will she be able to see me? Glance back or able to meet our eyes, recognizing me. Have you ever felt something that is missing...?

I'm about to tell you a story about a girl. A normal girl. A girl that had no cares in the world, until her trust for it was stripped away. When you read her story, you'll find yourself trusting her, loving her, rooting for her. But you see, not everyone gets to trust the world. Not everyone has a happy ending. --- Halfway through the kiss however, his attitude changed; instead of being a loving embrace, it became a fierce trap. His grip on her waist tightened, trapped her where she was instead of simply holding her where he wanted her. The hand in her hair grabbed a section of it, enforcing his demand for her not to go anywhere. Before she knew what was happening, he left go of her hair, and pushed her to the ground. She gasped, suddenly able to breathe. He stood up and walked over to her. He placed a soft hand on her cheek, just like he used to when he was telling her how special she was to him. None of the emotion was there this time however, all she could feel radiating from his was rage. "You shouldn't have run off, babe," he said bitterly. "I was about to show you how much I loved you. Instead, I now have to show you what happens when you anger me." --- The men regarded her, before she was shoved to the ground and one produced a whip. There, laying broken on the floor, as the other girls watched, she was whipped. Slowly, she felt her skin breaking in time with her heart and her will.Complete

While they mold the life for better for most of us, it was nothing less than a nightmare for her. She, who thought was cursed and shouldn't even have existed. She, who was named a devil; whose past hovered above her, burdened her and haunted her each time she thought of living a normal life. When having a boyfriend was as normal as breathing for her friends, it was something abstract for her; unrealistic, out of her league.

She, who desperately tried to hide her secret, once dared to swim against the current, proposed her first crush in high school and got stabbed by that same person. The person whom she loved, trusted. When her first crush publicly degraded her, broadcasting her past to the entire school; something died within her. Her hope. To love and to live a normal life. She was broken - beyond repair. After she moved to her new life in London, she thought she had left everything behind in India, only until she met him. ------------ Copyright © Radhika Acharya All rights to this book are reserved *** Do not copy my work.

"Hey," I get her attention as I sit closer to her. "We're doing everything we can to find this mob okay? You'll be out of this situation in no time." "And what if something bad happens," she looks at me wide eyed with those beautiful eyes of hers. Can never forget the colour. Hazel with little bits of green inside them. "Nothing bad will happen." "But something bad always happens to me. I have such a bad feeling about all this and my gut never lies to me," her voice cracks at the end. "It's life and death. Nothing ever good comes out of that." A lone tear slides down her cheek and she shuts both her eyes tightly, her palms squeezing the fuck out of her thighs.

"You think John would've ever made you feel like this?" I asked darkly, lips brushing her nipple as my fingers circled her again. "You think he would've claimed you like I will?" She whimpered. And when I pushed two fingers inside her, her knees buckled. "Say it," I demanded. "Say you're mine." She shook her head, biting her lip. "I hate you." "Then hate me while I fuck you," I snarled, lifting her up with one arm under her thighs and carrying her to the bed of straw and soft woven sheets they'd laid out like a royal gift.
