Hellene in the Arch (Cities of Fantasy Series #1)
Synopsis
Like the vibrant and decorative symbol used by French royalties, Iris Ralene is living her life like a princess. Young, beautiful and free, who already has everything until it all faded when her Father died. It was not long enough when she was bombarded with another startling news that their business will be handed out to her Father's trusted trainee.
Their story began into a never ending chase. A simple chase that turned into a hurtful promise.
The problem about people who get hurt because of falling in love is the confusion of not really knowing what they actually feel.
If it is love, then it shouldn't ask for return. But then, do we just let the person we love shove us away? Is unrequited and martyr love just fine?
If it is love, then it should not ask for approval. And that there shouldn't be a right timing to confess for it.
So how? How will we recognize if it's actually love?

We Never Broke Up (A Second Chance Romance)
"So... what about us?" he asked, and I looked at him, a bit bewildered. "What?" I inquired. "You and me... what are we, Sera? You know how you affect me. You make me feel like I'm losing my mind, and I feel incomplete when you're not around. I yearn for your touch, your scent, and everything about you drives me wild," he admitted, his words close to my face. I let out a shaky breath as I felt a warmth spread through my body. "Thad, I think you're getting something wrong," I began, but he interrupted me. "No, you're the one refusing to admit that you're feeling the same way I am," he insisted, causing me to fall silent. He was right, I couldn't deny the feelings i had for him. They had always been there, but they had intensified with his return. βββββββ‘β‘β‘βββ‘β‘β‘βββ In their final year of high school, Thaddeus and Sera epitomized the dream teen couple, envied by all.

My Mistake
She thought he was perfect, but perfect doesn't exist. Alex had never been in love. Never been kissed. Never even held a boy's hand. So when Ben (the charming, confident, older man) swept into her life, it felt like fate. He said all the right things. Made her feel special. Claimed he was keeping her safe. At first, she believed him. When he checked her phone, it was because he cared. When he told her what to wear, it was because he loved her. When he got really angry, it was her fault, wasn't it? She should've known better. Shouldn't have talked to that guy. Should've texted back faster. Should've listened to him. Then the first slap came. Then the apologies, and promises it wouldn't happen again. But it did. It kept happening. Ben doesn't love Alex. He owns her. And she's learning, slowly and painfully, that love doesn't leave bruises. Love doesn't monitor your every move. Love doesn't isolate you from your friends and family, punish you for breathing the wrong way, or force you to beg for kindness that never lasts. But by the time she sees it for what it is, she's already trapped. And Ben doesn't plan to let her go. Not without a fight. β οΈTWβ οΈDomestic Violence β οΈTWβ οΈ Sexual Assault β οΈTWβ οΈ Emotional and Mental Abuse This is copyright so if you see anyone taking my book please help a girl out and let me know.

KILL ME
When obsession crosses the line, it's not always hate that follows, sometimes, it's love in its most dangerous form. Anaya has always been fragile. Soft-hearted, quiet, and full of hidden pain. Her past is something she never speaks about, but it lives inside her every day. The trauma, the memories, the nightmares, they have shaped her into someone who doesn't laugh like she used to, doesn't trust like she once could. And the one person who was her entire world in childhood... became the reason for her deepest wounds. Arhem Khan. Five years older. Her first love. Her first heartbreak. And the only one who ever truly saw her, yet also the one who unknowingly became part of her pain.

Maybe her absence will be a gift. But fate brings Arhem back. He's changed. Or maybe, he's only ever been this way with her, dangerous in his devotion, intense in his silence, and soft in ways no one else sees. When he finds out she's getting married, he can't stay away. And when the unexpected happens on her wedding day, Arhem makes a bold move that changes everything. He replaces the groom. Now Anaya is forced to live in a deal she never wanted, married to the man she tried so hard to forget, far from her family, carrying her trauma into a new home that doesn't feel like hers. But Arhem is not her villain. He's her past, her present, and the storm she never escaped. He wants to protect her, love her, and heal her, but he doesn't know how to let go. And she doesn't know how to forgive. This is a story of broken hearts, buried pain, childhood love that turned into something darker, and two souls trying to find peace in a bond that never truly died.
