betrayal cheating fairytale heartbreak illusion love revenge sadness sadstory school schoollove

For most of her life, she's been just another face in the crowd, until Caius-the most popular guy in school-chooses her. Overnight, her world transforms into a whirlwind of affection, attention, and dream-like moments that she never imagined could be hers. 

Caius is everything she's ever wanted: charming, thoughtful, and seemingly devoted. Their relationship feels like a fairytale, complete with surprise gifts, sweet kisses, and plans for a future together. But as she basks in the glow of their perfect romance, she's unaware that it's all built on a fragile foundation of lies.

When she stumbles upon Caius and Mary, the school's queen bee, in a shocking moment of betrayal, her world comes crashing down. The truth is revealed-she was never his true love, just a pawn in a cruel game of popularity and deceit. As her heart shatters, she must confront the harsh reality that the boy who made her feel special was only playing her for a bet.

But this isn't just a story of heartbreak. It's a story of finding strength in the ruins, of uncovering the truth, and of reclaiming the life she thought she lost. In the wake of betrayal, she'll learn that love is never perfect, and sometimes, the greatest illusion is the one you create yourself.All Rights Reserved

Dragon Blood by mwendlandt

"Do you remember calling me 'mate?'" he asked softly, pushing her wild curls away from her face. She blushed deeply, but he wouldn't let her look away. "You heard that?" He nodded with a smile. "It was the first thought she ever shared with me." Skylar pursed her lips. "She likes you very much." "What about you?" he teased gently. "How do you feel about me?" She set her jaw and once again managed to look down her nose at him while staring up at him. "Well... well, I'm rather fond of you, Orion." He let out a relieved laugh and pulled her into his chest again. "What a relief. I was worried it was just me." He nuzzled her temple, inhaling deeply, his dragon fully at peace. The words "I love you" were right on the tip of his tongue, but he knew it was too soon for that. He would have to hold them in just a little while longer. "I'm fond of you, too," he whispered in her ear. <><><><><><><><> Skylar lived her life in fear. Fear of exposure, fear of herself, and fear of her future.

Help Me Pick Up The Pieces {Completed} (GirlXGirl) [TeacherXStudent] by Whatever81

*Destined to Be series book one. Not necessary to read Book one before book two.* Achievements: #1 in Lesbianromance [August 14th, 2019] #4 in Lesbian [September 30th, 2019] #5 in GirlxGirl [August 26, 2019] Avery has had a tough life, a very tough life. She feels like the universe is forever against her. And never thought that, even after everything she's endured, she would ever get her 'Happily Ever After'. Then one day she thinks it may be possible. The woman she had been in love with for years, finally returns her feelings. Avery was finally happy, the woman she loved so much for so long, finally loved her back. Her 'Happily Ever After' was within reach. At least that's what she thought, until the woman managed to shatter Avery's already broken heart into a million pieces. Months later, the wound still fresh, she packs up her stuff and moves back to the city where she was born. She thinks being in a different city and reconnecting with her childhood best friend, will help her heal. But, nothing seems to change at all. At least not until one night about 2 months later. Her friend drags her to a club. To get her friend off her back, she finds a girl to pick up. She expected for it to be a one night stand and that was it but she desperately wants to see the woman again. And she ends up getting her wish but the next time they see each other it's in one of the most unexpected of situations. Just when she was starting to think that she might be able to be happy again, it all goes to crap. Her life seems to be a never ending string of heart break. Maybe the whole universe really is against her. Warning: This story's going to get a bit dark/depressing. And even though it's clearly labeled as such but I still feel I need to say this is a mature girlxgirl story so there will be sex. Also don't read if you have a problem w/ the word fuck because I use it quite liberally.
