"I would never dream of courting Penelope Featherigton not in your wildest fanatisie Fife"
As the days turned into weeks, Penelope's determination to find a husband grew stronger. She attended every social event, dressed in her finest gowns, and put on a brave face despite the pain in her heart. She refused to let her broken friendship and unrequited love define her.
Meanwhile, Colin Bridgerton couldn't understand why Penelope was giving him the cold shoulder. He had returned home with the hope of rekindling their friendship, only to be met with silence and avoidance. He racked his brain, trying to recall any possible reason for her sudden change in behavior.
One evening, at a grand ball, Colin finally mustered the courage to confront Penelope. He approached her, his heart pounding with anticipation and anxiety. "Penelope," he said, his voice filled with a mix of confusion and desperation, "why have you shut me out? What have I done?"
Penelope looked at him, her eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and determination. "Colin, you have been my best friend for years, and yet you never saw me," she replied, her voice tinged with a hint of bitterness. "You never saw the love I had for you, the love that I thought could have been something more."
Colin's eyes widened in realization, and a wave of regret washed over him. "Penelope, I... I had no idea," he stammered, his voice filled with remorse. "I never meant to hurt you. I was blind, and I am so sorry."
Tears welled up in Penelope's eyes as she looked at him. "Colin, it's too late now," she whispered, her voice barely audible. "I have decided to move on, to find someone who will see me, cherish me, and love me the way I deserve."
Will this love story end in disaster or will their love be enough to keep them together?.

Pretend You're Mine.
Back again by popular demand. I have fixed grammar issues, and adjusted little bits (the story has not changed) Also - bonus extra scene at the end! "Thank you for the dance sweetheart." He broke away and she could still feel his lingered touch on her waist... What was this feeling? What on earth just fucking happened? Penelope Featherington did not fancy Michael Stirling. She couldn't. Could she? Colin's wedding broke her heart, could she find solace in the last place she ever expected? Pre-Warning. This is a Penelope/Michael HEA. - - - - - Updates will come once every few days! I have done Polin, Penthony, now I've decided to try Michael & Penelope. I had always imagined Michael sexy as hell, and well I'm basing him off Mr Grey himself. I hope you enjoy the story, It's just the beginning, I hope you like it. (This is my first of two, my next will focus on Benedict & Penelope (Regency)) Thanks :) xoComplete

The one that stole his heart
Penelope is the girl everyone at school made fun of because of her weight. She always thought no guy would ever give her a second look until him. Aarons the type of guy you would only be seen with popular girls. Until she caught his eyes. ___________________________________________ I'm being woken up by someone climbing into my bed. "What the hell?" I see Aaron trying to get under my sheets. "Aaron what are you doing get out." "I like being with you." He slurs and that's when I smell the alcohol. I lay back down and he snuggles into my sheets facing me. "Why are you here?" I whisper. "It hurt me to see you cry." I just stare at him confused. He has his eyes closed and I just stare at him. "Emma is a bitch." I let out a small giggle. "Then why do you hang out with her?" "Good fuck." I just nod. I don't really like hearing him say that. Do I like Aaron? I mean he's attractive but I know he would never give me a second look. Who would? "Your so beautiful." I hear him whisper, I instantly open my eyes thinking I imagined him saying that. "Who?" I ask. "You." I feel butterflies in my stomach. I've never been called beautiful by a guy before.Complete
Season 3 Bridgerton Missing Scenes
NOTE: This was originally just titled "One Night", but now has additional chapters (with 2 more to come) This is a collection of scenes that I WISH had been included in the Netflix production of Bridgerton Season 3, part 2. This is purely my imagination, not from Julia Quinn or Shondaland, but intended to be scenes added to the production. Apologies that the first and second chapters are out of order. This is my first time writing and I was just going to write one scene, but got inspired to keep going.Complete
Lady Debling (Polin)

Reflections of the choices
״I fell in love with him at first sight. From the very first day. And I continued to love him always, even when he didn't pay me any attention. I waited and hoped that he would choose me when we grew older. But he chose not me, but my cousin. And my jealousy completely drove me mad. I was there all the time, supporting him, laughing at his jokes, but he just didn't see me as a woman. Yet he saw her in Marina, whom he had known for only a couple of days. And even her secret didn't stop him. He was ready to lay the whole world at her feet. I had grown accustomed to the fact that my family didn't care about me, that my voice meant nothing in society. But I thought I had him. It turned out that all this time I was nothing to him. Just like to everyone else. But this became the last straw for me. And I decided that no one would dare to underestimate me anymore. So I began to write. I poured all my anger, all my pain, everything that had been building up inside me into my articles. And people liked it. So I continued to write. And I didn't notice how my articles began to bring pain to others...״ P.S: October 19, 00:49. I've finished the last line of this story. I don't remember how many chapters I initially planned, but it ended up being 40! This is the longest and most intricate story I've ever come up with and written, and I'm incredibly proud of myself. A huge thank you to everyone who reads and shares their thoughts about this story. Without you, it would most likely have become yet another abandoned project (and trust me, that almost happened, but your comments saved everything). Now, the chapters will be released a bit earlier, and there are still 15 more chapters ahead. The final one will come out on November 16, 2024. Meanwhile, I'll be preparing a new story for you.Complete
