One Life, Many Pieces follows the life of a young man navigating the vibrant yet isolating world of New York City. Alone and with no close friends, he faces daily struggles while building a life on his own. Each day brings encounters-some fleeting, others impactful-as he experiences the spectrum of human connections. Love, heartbreak, brief romances, and unexpected moments of intimacy shape his journey, revealing the vulnerability and resilience that lie beneath his quiet exterior.

The story explores his emotional depth as he moves through relationships that range from lighthearted to deeply meaningful. Despite his solitary existence, he occasionally steps up, showing a strong moral compass when he finds himself in unexpected situations, like standing up for someone in distress. Yet, he's no hero-just an ordinary guy caught up in life's complications.

Through moments of humor, self-reflection, and sensuality, he pieces together an understanding of himself and the world around him. One Life, Many Pieces is an intimate look at one man's experience with life's highs and lows, from love and heartbreak to the bittersweet moments of solitude and self-discovery, capturing the raw, unpredictable nature of modern urban life.

------- He loved the girl that can't love him.....And now he can't love the girl that loves him -------- ** "Don't worry.." I say, getting up off the chair and walking around him on my way out, my scarf running through his fingers lightly until it slips out. He tilts his head back over the back of his chair in a lazy laid back way, his thumb and fingers now holding his chin, as he watches me leave, still with a small smile on his face. "I won't break your heart." I turn around and say lightly, jokingly, just to tease him. His smile fades. "You won't...because you can't break what's already broken." He says more seriously. ******* Once bitten, twice shy Such is the case for Aaron Bishop, who after a failed marriage, decides that love and all things related, is not worth the trouble. So he moves forward with his future, making sure that no woman is unclear about his intentions about love, or carries any hopes of marriage and happily ever after..that is not in his destiny. It's really simple actually: -Nothing lasts forever... especially love. -Nothing is long term... When it comes to his relationships. -Everyone is replaceable... So don't get too comfortable. But that is not to say that the ride will not be exceptionally enjoyable, while it lasts.. But such an arrangement, is not something Raquel St Patrick can wrap her head around. Whimsical, Peculiar, Optimistic, Independent, Eccentric, Deviant...are all words one can use to describe her, Her very nature is to go against the odds. For her, it's all or nothing. Can Aaron convince her to jump along on the ride with him on his terms....? But what happens when the lines start to get blurred and they get so intertwined that it's harder to separate, than stay together. * Books by Bellamerce 1) Only For You (Completed) 2) When Stars Align (Completed) 3) Fire On Fire (Completed) 4) Diamond Heart (Completed)

Chronicles of becoming

4 parts Ongoing Mature

In her thirties, she walked away from a life that felt like it was closing in-leaving behind the familiar streets of Europe, a routine love, and the safety of everything she knew. Drawn by the promise of something greater, something electric, she chose New York. A city of endless lights, endless possibilities, and endless illusions. But instead of finding herself, she found emptiness. Nights blurred into fleeting encounters, brief touches that never lingered, and hollow moments disguised as connection. Beneath the vibrant pulse of the city, she felt nothing. No love, no fire, no sense of belonging-just a growing void. These are her chronicles-a raw and intimate journey of a woman lost between who she was and who she thought she could become. It's a story of longing, of chasing meaning in a world that offers only illusions, and of coming to terms with a brutal truth: sometimes, before you can find yourself, you have to confront the emptiness inside.
