An entry for the Open Novella Contest 2023 (prompts #15, #63 and #75)

[COMPLETED ON 28/4/2023]

***

Three women. Three secrets. Three tangled lives...

Jenny Lesko doesn't want to marry Hunter Hyde. She only has eyes for her only love, Alex Hills, but her aunt and uncle have different plans for her. She will do everything in her power to get what she wants, but the price to pay isn't cheap...

Bella Hennings is torn. She doesn't know how to get out of the rut she got herself into. Being two different men's number one target means she's forced to make a decision, something she has only done a few times in her life.

Beth Kuhlmann is done. She no longer wants to be anyone's third wheel. For once in her life, she wants to be the first choice. How can she pursue her goal when anything she earns is disappointment?

The three women know that, in order to succeed, have to trust the right people, or prepare themselves from a major twist in their lives...

While her best friend Cassidy snacks on brie and boys in France, Darcy Li-Quinn must face her last year of high school and the unpredictable wrath of her sister, Danica, alone. Darcy's plan for dealing with Danica and her heinous friends is simple-be invisible. But first, she's promised Cassidy she'll do 'one brave thing'. Mustering the courage to say 'hi' to the cute boy on the bus, Darcy expects rejection or indifference. She doesn't anticipate a grumpy ghost with unfinished business who needs her help. Suddenly, a quiet year of flying under the radar looks increasingly unlikely. *** Rationally, Hunter Viera knows that his brother's death wasn't his fault. But that doesn't stop his guilt about Archer invading his every thought or lessen the grief sitting heavy in his chest. Changing schools offers a fresh start, and Hunter's plan is simple-be invisible. But he hasn't counted on Darcy, or her ludicrous claim that Archer speaks to her from beyond the grave. Suddenly, a quiet year of sitting on the sidelines looks increasingly unlikely. *** This is a story about hearts and hope and public transport. This is Darcy and Hunter's story (and a little bit Archer's too). *** 'Get A Life' is my entry for Open Novella Contest 2023 and is inspired by the following prompts. 20. You finally build enough courage to talk to that cute someone you see every day on the bus. Their face turns dark as they respond "You shouldn't be able to see me." 9. There's an urban legend that's been circulating for years about a taxi cab that doesn't take you where you want to go, but where you need to go. One night, you stepped into this cab.

🥇and 🥈#mattheoriddle 06.2025 🥈#spying 06.2025 🥉#task 06.2025 *- You know what ? I'm sure you're in love with me. You just don't want to admit it. - Yeah, that's it. I said sarcastically. Even for a million Galleons, I'd never date you. You're disgusting, Riddle. - Well, let's see how much I disgust you, Princess. I've got a proposition. We're gonna play a game. Here are the rules : the first one of us to fall in love with the other loses. We can flirt, kiss, even fuck each other, no strings attached. Are you in, or are you afraid to lose to my natural beauty ? - I'm already the winner, Riddle. - We'll see, Wilson. - Okayyyy ! This is gonna be interesting... Game's on, everyone ! Theodore added, practically cheering. ~~ Tessa Wilson, born into a Death Eater family, is entering her sixth year at Hogwarts. But this year won't just test her skills, it will shatter her certainties. Her biggest challenge? Her own mind. Her confusion. The feelings she's afraid of. Mattheo Riddle, heir to a cursed name, is trouble wrapped in charm and arrogance. Love ? He doesn't know it. Doesn't trust it. Doesn't want it. They'll hate. They'll bet. They'll play. They'll hurt. But will they learn how to love? Hate will bind them. Love might break them. But nothing will leave them unscarred. ⚠️TW : explicit sexual scenes, cursing, bad mental health, self harm, bullying, torture⚠️ I'll put a ♤ whenever there's hot fluff or smutt. Don't stop on the first chapters ! My writing gets better by the time and the story too since I started it more than a year ago. this is JK ROLLING'S universe ! I only own Tessa Wilson, her life, every things that turns around her and Emily and Timothy Lerson . The chronology won't be totally respected (like Snape is still the potion professor, there's gonna be a yule ball, ect...). English isn't my first language, I'm French so I apologise for the spelling, grammar or conjugation errors I will probably make Enjoy guys !

Sofia Volkov is a girl who's the very picture of a goddess. She is wealthy. She has enough beauty to spare. She has the smarts of a genius and is pretty hefty with a knife. But what if her own knife is hurting her? What if she's great but not the best? Not like her Twin. *** Lorenzo Harper, a man with very few words to spare- or none to say. His lips have been sealed and locked for more then a decade but the reason is just as a mystery to his loved ones as it is to himself. His parents adore him as equally as his baby sister yet he still acts the way he does. He's cold, he's silent, he's deadly and he is holding more secrets then a man his age should. *** The two people end up falling inlove- but at what cost? How many unwanted secrets will stay secrets and how many will stay hidden? Betrayals and lies to eachother and everyone around them but who is affected the most in all of this? The woman has never uttered the word please in her life, but what happens when her only surviving option is to beg, not for life or death but for HIM. Because she also holds a secret that could ruin EVERYTHING. The man prides himself on being the cause of bringing destruction and corruption. He's already broken her heart once before so now it's time to do the opposite. Now it's time to do the one thing he promised himself he would never do; fall in love. Both hurt and heal but who says the scale is even? Will their old wounds heal in time? Or will they be opened up again with a little extra salt? Traumas will come out the dark. Secrets that want to hide will be found. History will repeat itself. But is all that for the better or the worse?
