Characters:

Elena Martinez - A 26-year-old determined and skilled personal assistant. She has been working for a prestigious fashion company for the last three years, assisting the CEO, Victor Rossi.

Luca Rossi - Victor's 28-year-old son. He is charismatic, ambitious, and has recently returned from studying abroad to take over the family business as his father plans to retire.

Diego Martinez - Elena's father, a close childhood friend of Victor. Both families have known each other for decades.

Elena Martinez had always been known for her professionalism, diligence, and quiet determination. For the last three years, she had worked as Victor Rossi's trusted personal assistant. They had developed a strong working relationship, one built on respect and mutual understanding. Victor, now in his late 50s, had made the unexpected announcement that he would be stepping down as CEO to enjoy his well-earned retirement and spend more time with his wife and grandchildren.

What Victor hadn't told Elena yet was that his son, Luca, would be returning from his studies abroad to take over the reins of the company. It wasn't just a professional challenge that awaited Elena-it was a deeply personal one.

Years ago, Elena and Luca had been more than just childhood friends. They had been inseparable during their teenage years, eventually falling into the whirlwind of first love at 17. Their relationship had been full of passion, dreams, and an unspoken promise of forever. But things changed abruptly when one fateful night, a misunderstanding tore them apart. Neither of them had spoken to the other since, their paths diverging with Luca moving away for his studies and Elena focusing on her career.

Now, Luca was coming back-and Elena was unprepared.All Rights Reserved

Untouched, Unbothered {Completed} by psyxhedelicc

Valentina Moretti. She's one colorful character. She moves to Italy right after high school. She goes there to enjoy the scenery, to be thankful that her parents met here, and work just a casual job. What she doesn't expect is when she crosses paths accidentally with a stranger, who crossed paths with her on purpose, eventually becomes something much more than a stranger. Luca Alfonso. Mafia leader, 'bad guy', murderer. He's that but so much more. Luca wouldn't ever expect to fall in love with the girl he was supposed to protect. She was his rock, his princess, his light, his everything. I rewrote that about 4 months later ^ Disclaimer: My story sucks in my opinion. It is my first story, my first characters, brand new ideas, writing skills are basically non existent. If you happen to come across this story, read it and actually like it, I give props to you. completed :')

Over time she forgot what it was like to live a normal life, but she never let go of her hope to escape the compound where she has been held for the past nine years.

When Victor arrives at the compound to collect details and payment for a hit, Sarai sees him as her only opportunity for escape.

While on the run, Victor strays from his primal nature as he succumbs to his conscience and resolves to help Sarai. As they grow closer, he finds himself willing to risk everything to keep her alive; even his relationship with his devoted brother and liaison, Niklas, who now like everyone else wants Sarai dead. As Victor and Sarai slowly build a trust, the differences between them seem to lessen, and an unlikely attraction intensifies.

Crossing States by redwhiteandbluez

Ethan and Luca were inseparable as children-two boys who spent their summer days building forts, sharing secrets, and dreaming of a future that would never tear them apart. But when Ethan's family suddenly moves to another state, their once unbreakable bond starts to fade. The letters slow, the phone calls dwindle, and soon, childhood promises give way to the inevitable distance that time creates. Years later, fate steps in when they are unexpectedly reunited as roommates during their sophomore year of college. Both have changed-Ethan is now a confident, outgoing athlete, while Luca has grown more reserved, preferring the solitude of his studies. Old memories resurface as they struggle to find common ground in the midst of their new lives. What begins as a tentative reconnection evolves into a friendship neither of them realized they still needed. But as the months go by, unspoken feelings rise to the surface. Ethan can't help but notice how much Luca has changed-and how deeply he's drawn to him in ways he doesn't fully understand. The more time they spend together, the more he questions if his feelings for Luca are more than just nostalgia for the boy he once knew. Meanwhile, Luca is grappling with his own confusion, unsure if what he feels for Ethan is just a longing for the past or the beginning of something more. As their bond strengthens, so does the tension between them, building toward a moment that will change everything. When Ethan finally confesses his feelings, Luca is forced to confront the truth he's been hiding from himself all along. In a story filled with slow-burn romance, emotional growth, and the intricacies of love and friendship. From childhood companions to star-crossed college roommates, Ethan and Luca's journey is a heartwarming and achingly tender exploration of friendship, loss, and the kind of love that spans both time and distance.

Falling Into You (MLQC) (Victor x MC) (Lucien x MC) by producermoo

This is a full story (not a collection of one-shots) in the Mr. Love Queen's Choice universe. I wanted to write a story that will be familiar to players of the game, but also introducing new scenes and events with the characters you know and love. This is a little different than some other writings in the genre, as it only will focus on the main character's relationship with Victor/Li Zeyan and Lucien/Xu Mo. In this story, you'll see events from different parts of season one blended together, and lots of new scenes between the main character, Victor, and Lucien. I tried my absolute hardest to keep the characters as true to their game-selves as possible. When I decided to write this, I thought I would love to write something where the reader would feel as though they were reading something straight out of the game, but in a new way. For that reason, I've also roughly followed the main storyline, but I've taken lots of liberties with the story and changed it to flow with three main characters only. That being said, this is my very first time writing a creative work like this. I know it won't be perfect and may not even be any good, but if anyone out there enjoys it I'll be very happy!

Her father and mother both thought it a good idea for Chelsea to meet, fall in love with and marry the CEO of Sinclair Industries, Christian Sinclair, a billionaire playboy. Chelsea was very naive about anything in his world. Their marriage was a story for the ages; big wedding, sexy honeymoon and once they came back to reality everything changed. Christian was not a nice man. After enduring two years of emotional, physical and verbal abuse at the hands of her husband, her life was thrown into turmoil after his death. Since she was his only beneficiary she had sole control of Sinclair Industries. She met an older man at a charity event by the name of Angelo Silvano. She'd had heard he was a honest man so Chelsea decided to sell him the company but maintained employment there. Silvano has twin sons, Adrian and Aiden, age 30. Would they be able to show her what love is really about? Would she let them in? Would they still want her after they find out about her past? Can these men, together, heal her broken soul and show her how worthy she is? WOULD APPRECIATE ANY COMMENTS! THANKS!
