A Love Worth Defying by AshlynKatie8

Backstory In the kingdom of Vellador, love is a privilege for the common folk, while royalty is bound by duty. From birth, Princess Renee was destined for a political marriage-a union meant to strengthen alliances rather than hearts. Her father, King Rae, a ruler burdened by grief, arranged for her to marry Prince Xavier, a man she barely knew, in the hopes of securing peace for their kingdom. But fate had already entwined her heart with another. Renee's heart belonged to Eugene, the loyal knight who had protected her since childhood. He had always been more than just a guard-he was her closest confidant, the man who made her laugh, and the only one who saw her for who she truly was, not just as a princess. Their love was forbidden, hidden in stolen moments and whispered promises. When the time came for Renee to wed Xavier, Eugene was powerless to stop it. Forced to stand aside, he watched as the woman he loved was bound to another. But love, no matter how caged, refuses to die. Renee and Eugene's longing for one another only grew, defying duty and expectation. As tensions rose, Renee was forced to make an impossible choice-honor her crown and kingdom or fight for the love that had always been hers. Betrayal, heartbreak, and sacrifice followed, leading to a confrontation that would change the fate of Vellador forever. Would Renee find the strength to defy the destiny chosen for her? Would Eugene's love be enough to overcome the weight of the crown? In A Love Worth Defying, love is not just a fleeting emotion-it is a force strong enough to challenge kings, break chains, and rewrite destinies.

I was part of that group, the sceptics. Always rational, never choosing my heart over my brain. That was it until one life-changing day. We have all heard of ghost stories. Here's mine. ****** Grace Lancaster is a completely normal 17 year-old teenager, except for one little fact. She's been having the same realistic nightmare for the past two years. It's not just a bad dream, it means something and she knows it. But what could that be? Archer Sutcliffe is the answer to all her prayers. However, she will face an inconvenience: He is a ghost. Fire and ice. Light and darkness. Life and death. Sometimes the perfect person for you is who you least expected them to be, and they are the clear example of that. But most importantly: Will they find the answers both of them are looking for?

As Sade navigates the joys and heartbreaks of their teenage years, she's faced with a question she never expected: Can love truly conquer time, or is fate unchangeable? In a journey of love, loss, and second chances, Always You is a heartwrenching tale of devotion and the lengths one will go to hold on to the person they love most.

Maybe I shouldn't have said that at least not now that we are talking again. But a smile made to my lips when I saw his reply. "Oh really?" It was a simple response yet I couldn't help myself from smiling like a teenager. He has always been reserved except for a few instances but I simply love it.

Unrequited by ofcrimeandpassion

"Why do you allow me back into your life? You know I'm only going to push you away again," he said with all honestly, not to hurt her, but because he knew how he behaved with her. And a part of him doubted that he would change. Even for her. "Because one day, you are going to realize what we have, and you won't push me away," she answered. It's funny how life can be so perfect one moment, and so awful the next. Other people are usually the cause of this back and forth, but what if it was just one person? One who couldn't love themselves, so they were incapable of loving others? John and Arianna have known each other since they were young. Friends, lovers, enemies: they have been through it all. They go through years of ups and downs, the losses, the gains, the middle ground as they try to find their way. Find their life. Will they be together? Or will circumstances keep tearing them apart? Only time will tell if their love will remain... Unrequited.
