•When is a monster not a monster?• •When you're in love with it• "Listen to me," he whispers, his voice clearly clouded with desire, "if you want me to stop, you will not hesitate to say it, understood?"

Yet, with every touch, every clench of his jaw and tensing of his muscles, she can't resist the urge to torment him. What she doesn't know: It goes both ways. She's bright. She's brilliant. And she's someone he can't help but be drawn to. Lucky for him, it doesn't look like she wants to stay away. And lucky for her, torment is in his job description.

PERFECTION: Dancing in the Storm
She was never meant to know. Bound by blood and tragedy, her mother's killer is now her protector. Him, and all his men. When he killed her mother, she entrusted her only daughter, Kazumi, to the very hand that ended her life. Now Chifuyu must keep her silently caged within the world he forged-a sanctuary of power and love-shielding her from the fatal allure of danger that circles ever near. So too do the men, with their entangling love... All without her knowing. A slow-burn romance with a reverse harem twist-woven with psychology, trauma, and healing. Within these pages, you'll find heavy action-thriller beats, sharp philosophical banter, and moments of raw intimacy. It invites you to step into the hearts of characters who embody both light and darkness, mirroring the dynamics of real life while entwined with the complexities of adulthood. Here, love is fragile, choices are heavy, and every wound tells a story-of hurt, of healing, of the arcs that shape their fate. This is a kind reminder that "nobody is perfect"... and that's what makes them unforgettable.

The Secret (Watty Award Winner) | ✔️
THANK YOU, Wattpad, for the HQ Love Watty Award! Concept: A mysterious young woman flees from her troubled past only to discover it is impossible to escape THE SECRET that haunts her. *PLEASE NOTE: This story was originally inspired by the movie "Sleeping With the Enemy". * * * * * "I would never, Steven," she promised, turning away from him in an attempt to protect herself. "I know you wouldn't," he screamed. Cupping her chin in his hand, he forced her to look at him. "Because I would kill you." His words hung heavy in the air. Sarah's heart sank into her stomach. No matter how many times she'd heard the menacing phrase, she could never get used to it. It had the same affect on her as the first time he'd thrown the ugly words in her face. The familiar sting of bile rose in her throat, and she knew she would deplete the contents of her stomach once she was locked in the safety of their master bath. 'If I make it through this time,' she agonized. Her biggest fear was that one day he would really lose his temper with her. Who knew what would happen then? *This story is an unedited first draft.

A Pinch Of Love
They weren't friends. They were just three boys who had bullied two girls for six years. They had some friend dynamic, sure, but the two sides were NEVER friends. James, Daniel, and Felix are your typical group of delinquents who get joy from bullying people, pulling pranks, vandalizing private property, and just doing anything morally wrong and illegal in general. Giannina Luck is sadly a victim of this group of headaches, and her best friend had left to live in another country. Although she was smart, she was not a pretty girl. Not by a long shot. She was fat, had pimple breakouts, and overall just did not fit your usual 11th grader stereotype. James Arthur had a problem with the world. Had a problem with how things ended up. He hated how bipolar he was. How he cared one second and hated the next. Gia hated her body, how fat it was, but James loved it. In all his 17 years of life he has never seen someone so stunning. So gorgeous. And he was never afraid to admit it or show his affection. Eleventh grade seems to be doing something to the group. They quit bullying her and she eats with them at lunch. Something is going on with Felix, Daniel is CLEARLY heartbroken, and James and Gia are confused. Gia's life is flipping to a completely different angle as she has late-night cuddles with James, mid-day heartbreaks, and early-morning self-hate sessions. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. What is anyone to do when James and Giannina get kidnapped by a purely unexpected person? *** ➡️ Super long chapters with no media. Updates r mostly late but I promise u, it will be worth the wait. U guys r gonna b obsessed with this. I hope y'all enjoy it just as much as I do 🤗 Feel free to vote and comment.
