I've dreamed of the perfect marriage ever since I was a little girl: a marriage complete with a hardworking husband while I tended to the home and our children, preferably four little rugrats to call my own. I dreamed of a life filled with laughter, joy, and success, a life we built together. I dreamed of growing old next to my husband, creating a great love story to tell our grandchildren someday.
It all seemed so possible. I was raised to be the perfect wife, after all.
From the outside, it seemed I had exactly what I dreamed of with the rich, determined husband; the brilliant, gaudy diamond ring; and the beautiful home filled with the hope of future children.
Yes, it was all a dream come true. I should have felt grateful, really.
The problem is, I also wanted a marriage based on love, passion, and affection, but those are the only things my husband cannot give me . . .
. . . because they're reserved for her.

A Heart Once His
In the heart of London - England, the story began: Three years of silence, distance, and cold stares-that was their marriage. The only warm thing Elena Hartwell could get from her husband Logan Bennett was intoxicating intimacy in their bedroom. She should have left then. But she didn't. Because love makes fools of the strongest hearts. But the final blow came when: * One night when her husband looked her in the eye and said, "Elena, You'll never be good enough to carry my children." * Her husband traded her like a pawn to a business partner while he enjoyed a cozy night with his mistress. * Her husband's "true love" showed off an engagement ring and baby bump online. It was humiliating. Cruel. Everything shattered. That was the day something in Elena snapped. She didn't cry. She didn't scream. She just slid the divorce papers to her husband and demanded what was rightfully hers. Logan laughed. "You'll leave with nothing, gold digger." Elena said. "If you're not clear on that, I don't mind having my lawyer teach you a thing or two about marriage law!"

REPOSTED FROM @HHSauthor06! 3.26K VIEWS | 117 VOTES | 105 COMMENTS 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐄 What happens when you find out your husband doesn't care about you at all. Only his business. He doesn't know how to feel because feelings kill his mood and also could get him killed. You leave him and move on. Two months later you find out you're pregnant. Whoops... You don't wanna go back to a loveless marriage or that man. So...you live on the other side of the world in London for five years with your babies. How many: two babies. Twins. A boy and a girl. You're poor, but you give your children everything. But your ex-husband is different. He's hurting because now he understands what you meant to him. How important you were. What happens if he finds you with another man and two children? Drama, pain, love and so much more. (I don't do many R rated scenes. Sorry, if u want those types, please go somewhere else. This is just a drama filled roamance.) Does that mean there won't be any fighting? Oh boo, there will be so many. Fist fights and curse each other fights. I love fights and drama!!!!!!! 👀 Read my other stories as well, my darklings 👀 Peace out✌️😉 #1- womenpower #1- impowerment Thank you all! Hit 1k on June 4, 2022 𝐁𝐲 @𝐡𝐡𝐬𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝟎𝟔
Perfect Fate ✔ (Moved To Inkitt)
Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book.

Maybe this Time [[ NaLu: Fanfiction ]]
When I was a child I dream to have my own happy ending just like what I've watched in Disney movies. I had been reading lots of romance books, and I even listen to my relatives how they find their own the 'one'. I imagined how their life is written in paper with black and white suddenly get splashed on by the beauty of colors just because they found the right person that will bring their reality to vibrancy. The moment I saw his face, and the moment our eyes had met - I knew that moment he is the one for me. That I was done searching for my own knight - the knight, I was waiting for didn't come galloping with his white horse but instead, he came into my life right after he knocked me down using the soccer ball. "I am Natsu Dragneel," he said. It was you... who I was looking for. Finally... I am done searching for my own knight.Complete

These stories spawn from my dreams and I modify them just enough to make sense. ***Each chapter is its individual story!*** PLEASE ONLY READ THE LAST 5 CHAPTERS! (unless you want to read VERY CRAPPY writing) Author's Note: Hey! I unfortunately will not be continuing with this text. It will always be a big part of me because this is where I started. I began with horrible writing and I was never quite good beforehand, despising writing in general. You can see the progress from the first and final chapters (only a 1.5 year span!) and I can say I truly improved my writing skills. This was a space for me to write down my dreams and share them with friends. As much as I'd like to continue this, I have moved on to writing a full book rather than short stories. Love every one of you supporting me and reading the good as well as the bad. Liam, Grayson, and Amara will forever be missed :( I will start publishing chapters for my new book 'Gold Rush' in July 2024 so please go check those out! Trust me, this new stuff is so much better than this. Bye!Complete![Coming To You....[Completed] Under Editing](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/240726976-256-k991634.jpg)

This is the struggle faced by our protagonists. Both are living their lives, yet their pasts have trapped them in a constant cycle of fear. While they may differ in personality, they share one common trait-fear. What happens when two strangers, bound by this shared fear, come together in a sacred union?
