DeSoto was not the place that Peridot had wanted to live when she moved down here, fully inventing to attend the college that harbored this city. But her plans changed when she didn't want to go to school anymore, and she quickly found a place to live at. The DeSoto National Forest had struck a deal with her: if she went to check on the caves in the morning, they would pay her for her work. 
The Deal was struck. 
Ophelia actually lived the DeSoto National Forest and had been intending to work there for years at wherever they would have her. She worked as a hiking guide and would frequently check up on the hikers as the night would end. 
Ophelia and Peridot quickly become friends, but how will Ophelia manage the secret that's been drowning Peridot since her first day?

She was a lovely, smart girl, whose dream was to study hard and get a job to cater to her ailing mother. But life was harsh enough to shake off all the balance in her life that she had to start learning to live it from the beginning. Her heart and mind have always been in sync with each other. Until one night. When she saw him. Aryan Sehgal. He smiles even at his haters. Coming from a self-made rich family, he had everything he wanted until the picture of his family changed. He was eventually forced by life to take up his grandfather's dream publication company, to save it from moving any closer to the ruinations. Navigating through women's hearts was a game of his left hand, but took an oath to not date anymore in the hope of taking a break before he settled for "the one." Until his eyes met hers. And as if all this wasn't enough, being in each other's vicinity every day was the last thing they both wanted. Ira had promised to not trust people ever again, but she finds herself slipping bit by bit, every second she spends around him, while Aryan loses it sooner than he thought. But he doesn't know her story. And she is rigid enough to not let that guard crumble so soon. Would she be able to maintain her grumpy ulterior with Aryan being by her side? Would she allow herself to live life again? And more importantly, would she be able to allow herself to love ever again?

It drives her to connect with her seatmate, Australian environmental scientist, Caleb, who also craves a distraction. Despite his charm, he is enigmatic about the cause of his stress. They agree to fake a relationship to make their lives easier. The more time they spend together, the more real their act feels.

⚠️ Cringe Warning ⚠️ my story is literally a joke don't say i didn't warn you 💀 . . . I looked at the person who called me and my eyes immediately locked with an angry Sean. He stalked towards Sara, Nic and me. Sara quickly moved away, obviously frightened with this unknown side of him. He grabbed my arm and pulled me away from Nic. He pushed me behind him, his menacing eyes never leaves Nic's confused eyes. "Who. Are. You." He rudely asked. What's his problem? Nic raised his eyebrows, oh no. ••• Chess Brittney Aguilera A girl with a history. Hides it with her most beautiful smile. 5"2. Well you can say that she's quite innocent. Makes people want to protect her at all costs. Not that fond of guys, but definitely straight. Sean Alexander William 6"2. A kind hearted guy. Ruthless is NOT the word to describe him. Very considerate and loves to share. But well, when it comes to the love of his life, he will get super possessive. And yes, a very good looking gentleman for sure. *winks* What happen when these two, who had been neighbours for quite a lifetime, decides to finally cross each other's paths? Will Sean be able to help his love to survive the storms? Will Chess finally acknowledge Sean as more than a partner-in-crime? Can they fight the battle together? ×××× A/N : Sorry for my grammatical errors. English is not my first language. Also please do mind that I wrote this story when I was like 4 (lol jk but you get my point right), so the story line is a bit immature and messy. The story gets better everytime, I promise! I think. . . . most impressive ranking(s): #4 in wattys
