Elizha Hashmi has been struggling with studying for the longest time. Especially in chemistry. Which is a bummer for her, since she is one of the best students in class and she cannot, under any circumstances, look like a fool in front of her peers. She needs help, and her next-door-neighbor Soroush Hakeem is more than happy to do just that.

But Elizha is too proud to get help. Especially from Soroush Hakeem. He may be her first crush, but his father is also the reason why Elizha and her mother moved from a great life in the UK back to their home country. And Soroush Hakeem loves his father to his core, something that makes Elizha want to punch her first crush and the elder brother of her first friend. At the same time, she is confused about her lingering crush on him, especially because he always goes out of his way to help her.

And her darling friends make it even worse by constantly shipping those two together with #eroush. Bummer, right?

But despite the confusing feelings, Elizha needs Soroush, as he helps her navigate her mental battles and also grows her connection with her faith.....and himself. Soroush also needs Elizha Hashmi too. For there are four levels of happiness discovered by the philosopher Aristotle and they both could very well be each other's Sublime Beautitudo (Ultimate Happiness).

Or, they could very well end up being each other's ultimate destruction by letting their family and stubborness come first.

(((((Two days a week unless I have exams,  family emergency or DIE!!! )))))

WARNING: MAGIC AND FANTASTICAL ELEMENTS WILL BE INVOLVED. I simply do not know how to write a story without adding fantasy to them.....so yeah....you might end up seeing fairies too!!!!

Shocked by his words she replied, " I can't even think of you in my dreams." "Why...I am very sure of my feelings for you and I am sure you like me too...please give us a chance" he sounded desperate but she had to act strong in front of him. "I trust you but I don't trust my fate," she said and walked away...breaking him, his heart into million pieces. Only if he knew how it took all her willpower to not look back and run in his arms and say soothing words to him...to express her feelings for him but she had to walk away. Scene #2 "I shouldn't have given up on her" Akash said, sighing and a tear slipped his eyes which he quickly wiped away. "You tried your best, Akash" Sid said and Akash looked at him. "But I didn't try enough," Akash said and Sid looked away. "If she decides to leave me, I'll let her go," Akash said. What happens when 2 different people keep meeting each other in different phases of life and realize they've fallen for each other only to be separated by fate every time.

Read their story to find out how they defy the norms of society and struggle to be with each other. First book in Eternity series. This is the first-ever book that I wrote in my life.

"Now you listen to me and you listen good! I don't give a shit in what you think about me because guess what? I could care less! You mean NOTHING to me! Never will! So let's just get this bullshit over with, pretend we love each other to put on a good show, get divorced when this is all over and never have to worry about seeing each other again!" He snaps at me. "That's fine by me because as far as I personally am concerned, I could never love you either! A monster such as yourself doesn't deserve love! Not when you treat people INCLUDING girls the way you do! So go ahead and act all high and above everybody, but let me remind you, you will never be anything more than a lowlife, egotistical, womanizing, selfish, dumb little boy trying to be a man who will die alone! I may not be a thin pornstar or barbie-model type of a girl but just remember, YOU pushed ME away!" I shouted back and stood there for a moment feeling a mix of emotions. From happy & liberated for finally standing up for myself. To hurt & upset that he STILL can't see what all could be!

She is hurt, feels betrayed but also is now faced with another dilemma on top of it, she finds out that Rowan and them were promised her beautiful cousin instead, and so now she is stuck to an egotistical, maliputive, deceiving, arrogant cold hearted killer who she has to pretend she is in love with. Rowan doesn't want a relationship but is forced to go along with this idea in order to become the new Mafia King. His father believes in family. Even when he warms up a little to the marriage idea.......... Can they fall for each other? Or will their fate be different than any other cliche?!? © Copyright 2020 All Rights Reserved
Blue Eyes (A Paranormal Romance) by thatoneweirdgurrl
76 parts Complete Mature
HIGHEST RANK- #1 in Crush #2 in Paranormal For a moment he just sits there watching me with amused eyes, a smirk playing on his lips. Suddenly he stands up and walks forward until he's only inches from my body. Our faces so close that I can actually see the small sliver flecks in his eyes as they shimmer. "Wha-what are you doing?" I stutter my voice coming out as a breathless whisper. He breathes out. His breath fanning across my face, it smells of peppermint with a hint of orange. I shiver at the feeling. Sending a sensation that's equally as phenomenal as it is terrifying down my body. He leans in just a little closer so that our noses are almost touching. I stare up into his eyes, unsure of what to do. I feel frozen in place, like I can't move, like maybe I don't want to. "Time to seal it with a kiss" he suggests with a smirk. 🔹🔹🔹 Bethany Hibbler has a secret that she has kept from everyone. For 17 years Bethany has never told anybody that she can read minds. But then there's a new guy in school, he's arrogant, rude, egotistical, easily angered, and completely hot-he's Jake Lester. Before, Beth never believed in the paranormal world, but the word impossible seems all too possible when Jake arrives. This book is full of mind reading, a new set of vocabulary words, including: Book of Sacrimboniamat, The world of Eribiss, Eron, & Necrif, a lot of mistakes on Beth's part, some paranormal weirdness, confusion, palm facing stupidity, sarcasm, embarrassing moments, and a whole lot of comebacks. ➖➖ "Oh my freaking God such a good book! Girl you better keep writing this is aw-mase-ing"-@pinklady7777777 "I'm so excited, can't wait for more. I love this book so much, it's so interesting and totally the kind of book I read. 😊😍 U are an amazing writer 😘"-@Happyloner2004 "Honestly, this is one of the most amazing stories I've ever read!!! Wonderful story plot and the characters are equally amazing! Keep the creative juices flowing"

"Xavier, are you out of your mind? You can't hit anyone you want." I tried to pull him away from the guy. With his temper, he might send him to the hospital for quite a long time. Xavier suddenly stood up, he took my hands in his and pushed me to the wall behind me. He looked deep into my eyes. I got scared, I saw him angry before but never at me. He closed his eyes and put his head against mine. "You make me do crazy things. I'm not letting you talk to any guy from now on. I know I promised that I'll behave, but I can't see you talk or laugh with any guy." How can he be possessive over our juniors? ****************** Hello. I'm Anastasia. You can call me Anna. I'm a normal school girl. Like other kids of my age, I also don't like school. But my reason is different from them. I get bullied every day. It is the same at home also. My cousins bully me. My uncle and aunt only listen to their children. I get punished for their mistakes too. But suddenly one by one all of this bullying stopped. I don't know the reason, but from the moment I started spending time with this new guy who transferred to our school. Everything bad had stopped. *************** Hey. I'm Xavier. I hate school, but I still go there so I can entertain myself. I got expelled from 9 schools already. You see, I can't tolerate ill-mannered people and in school, you can find a bunch of them. So it is fun to make them see their place. In this new school, I found a girl. She was so fragile and oblivious of her beauty. She made me feel warm. So I followed her. I followed her literally everywhere. **************** Hello, lovelies. Hope you like the story.

A bullied girl meets the popular new student. ***** "Still saying that you're perfectly okay?" Max whispers. I'm surprised to hear that his voice is shaking. "I'm going to find who did this to you." ***** One time, I was the most popular girl in school. All the students in Royal Heights, the school of the richest, knew me as the pretty Luna Klein, daughter of a famous superstar and a well-known billionaire. But the next thing I know, I'm an outcast. Just because of a complicated thing called love, everything turns 180 degrees. Now, I'm the girl that everyone hates. I've lost all my friends. I've lost my best friend. And I've lost the guy that I adore. All I can do now is to ignore the bullies and to survive each day quietly, hoping that I don't attract too much attention like before. Everyone in my school starts to call me loony Luna. Or lunatic, their favorite nickname. Then he suddenly arrives. Max Cooper, the new student who just got here from Australia. Insanely good-looking and smart, topped with his impressive family background, Max easily becomes everybody's favorite, especially the girls'. Disastrously, of all the other things he can pick, Max sets his eyes on the most forbidden and despised thing in Royal Heights. Me. Even though the whole school hates that idea. But pushing Max away is like trying to tame a wild lion that has just been released from its cage. Max is unstoppable. My mother once said that if a guy is really into you, he will pursue you no matter what. I think I know now how it feels. I just don't know how to handle my heart. Because every time his piercing eyes land on me, I feel like my heart is going to burst out of my chest. © 2021 Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.
