Daddy Unknown, de PienPouwels

Moira King had been cheated on, stabbed in the back, and broken beyond repair --be it her father, her best friend, or her boyfriend; she's had enough. So, with that in mind, she gave up on the idea of finding love and opted to become a mother through sperm donation. That way, she could have a child, sans having to possibly bear another heartbreak. With the baby on the way, her life went uphill. Until one day. ---------------------------------- WARNING: the majority of this story is unedited and there are a lot of plot holes. This was the first book I ever wrote at 15 years old, and I don't agree with the majority of its contents anymore, so expect the worst. In fact, please don't even read it ✨ Cover: beingellie

Robot love - B0yfr13nd, de DREAM_SEARCH_REPEAT

In the near future, a lonely girl is saved from imminent rape by a worker robot. What begins as a programmed act of protection slowly transforms into a relationship as absurd as it is necessary. He was not designed to take care of anyone. She never wanted to be cared for. But when two broken creatures cross paths, a new logic begins to be born: one that is not written in manuals, but in glances, silences and shared coffees. Between screams, forced cleanliness and cigarettes thrown in the trash, something akin to love breaks through, without asking permission. Can a machine teach a human to love itself? And what happens when that machine begins to desire, against all logic, to stay? ⚠️ This story contains explicit language, violence, sensitive topics such as abuse, depression and suicide.

Kadota (Love Trilogy), de Lisa_Evette

In the quiet desert village of Dey, living among the sand dunes and mirages, existed an anomaly - me. I was different, born without the ability to read, write or keep long memories. My scientist father hailed my uniqueness as a miracle, but my life was far from ordinary. To the village, I was just an oddity, a walking puzzle with missing pieces. My only solace was my best friend, always standing by me, his unspoken love for me etched in his affectionate gaze. We lived under a cruel regime with a population no more than a hundred. Every year, one of us would be chosen on the Counting Day, a ceremonious banishing ritual, to become yet another outcast to the floating prison island far off in the ocean - our village's dreaded version of population control. Our past criminals, defiant to government, and more terrifyingly, our loved ones gone missing, were thought to inhabit that island, their fate, a terrifying enigma. This year, as the Counting Day approached unrelentingly, and my loved one's life rested on borrowed time, I made a decision. I volunteered to be casted out. It was my turn to face the unknown with a hidden purpose - to locate my lost father who was sent there years ago.
