Shattered innocence is the moment the veil of soft light is ripped away, revealing the sharp, hidden edge of the world beneath. It is the sudden, cold awareness that what was once pure and whole is now fractured glass, reflecting only dark, unbearable truths.
Zaneta is the definition of innocence: an overworked barmaid who clings to the routine of night shifts and the cherished memory of her late mother. She has no idea why her quiet life has suddenly become obnoxiously loud.
The moment a simple errand for eggs led to a harrowing street encounter and the chilling intervention of a heavily armed operative. Zaneta is yet to realize that she hasn't been rescued; she'd been identified.
The stakes are impossibly high, but the true complication is the identity of the person who moves with lethal intent. Someone in this unfolding tragedy has blood on their hands, and someone else is about to pay the ultimate price.

Primed For Sin
Book 2 of the 'Love Unknown' series ____________________________ I look down at him, his eyes begging for the pleasure I had been denying him. In the corner of my eye, I notice his camera still sitting on the table. I smirk and walk over to it, pushing the record button.

I run my index finger along his bottom lip as the very unholy things in my mind, break free. "Want to make a movie?" ☯︎☯︎☯︎ Fragile. That's one of the hundreds of thousands of words to describe Hazel Cora Grey. A girl who doesn't know who she is. The one thing that took her mind off of her Eating Disorder had shriveled into nothing and now? She tries her hardest to act like she's fine, like she isn't hurting inside because if anyone knew, questions would be asked. Questions she didn't want to answer. Some would say she's the type of girl to look into a blazing fire, and smile. Fragile. Not like a small, futile flower, but like a ticking bomb waiting for her time to leave her mark. Innocence. A boy who's been trained to think only about his future and career. Taught to never live in the moment for if he got too caught up with it, everything he's ever done and worked for, would have been for nothing. Micah Eugene Bennet had spent his entire life trying to live up to his father's expectations to no avail and well, one person can only take so much pressure and stress before they eventually give up. Or in this case, give in. Innocent. From his rounded glasses, to his hundreds of textbooks, to his untainted mind, the boy was innocent from the inside out. A romance in which two childhood lovers, separated early, find each other once again but this time, things have changed. ☯︎☯︎☯︎ Ratings: #1 showerthoughts - 8|12|2023 #1 secretdating -8|23|2023 #3 youngromance - 9|24|23 #4 teacherspet - 10|05|23 #2 university - 10|09|23 #1 college - 10Complete![[MC #4] Mafia's Angel](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/341446114-256-k628321.jpg)
[MC #4] Mafia's Angel
"Everything is an act. My bright smile, my happy face, my friendly attitude. I acted like I was fine when I was in that hell, and I'm doing the same now - I pretend that what happened hasn't affected me. My happy smile is a mask concealing the darkness that has claimed my soul. I pretend I'm okay, but inside I'm dying. And then, all of a sudden, he appeared. For some reason, he started showing me the sweet affection I used to crave. Now... I no longer want nor need it. Emotions are a luxury I can't afford. He calls me an angel, not even realizing the irony of the name. I'm anything but pure. I have fallen and I can't rise."Complete
Vedant's World: Love Beyond Sanity
He was iron and ice - A storm in uniform, Duty etched into every breath, A man sculpted by warzones and wounds no one dared to ask about. She was springtime and stardust - Soft laughter in sunlit halls, Dreams tucked between notebooks and a heart untouched by the world's sharp edges. He saw her - once. And the world, so long silenced by sirens and gunfire, began to hum again. He fell first. Not gently, But like a building set to detonate - Loud. Final. Without warning. She fell, too - Slower, But deeper. Into the silence between his words, Into the heat behind his fury, Into the broken boy hiding beneath the badge. Their love? It wasn't flowers and confession's. It was clenched jaws and trembling hands, Arguments that ended in whispered apologies, And touches that spoke of longing and ruin. He loved her like a secret he'd kill to protect. She loved him like a prayer she wasn't sure would be answered. And when they fell - They fell like stars crashing to earth: Brilliant. Beautiful. And irreversible.

Something Without Reason.
The world ended with neither fire nor flood, only silence. The void swallowed all but a scattered few. And in the black aftermath, we decided: Call ourselves Saviors, and they will listen. Call ourselves Saviors, and they will not despair. Five years have passed, and faith has kept us breathing. Lies have kept us fed. And yet, three years ago, something crawled from the dark... a thing that wore a woman's face and called itself Hollow. It whispered a promise: Tomorrow will arrive. We knew from the start Hollow was not on our side. But is it madness to destroy the only thing that understands the void? Or is it madness to live beneath her shadow, clinging to the hope that someone, something, will save us? But what is a Savior to a world that has already been forsaken? What is meaning in something without reason?
Beyond The Ivory Castle | Historic-Romance | (Completed)
"You created that absurd tale in a blink of an eye?" Zane asked, one brow arched in amused disbelief. She huffed. "You should be grateful, I think quickly." "Oh, I am," he murmured. "But perhaps next time, a backstory wherein I retain a modicum of dignity?" Aurora smirked. "And rob myself of the entertainment? Where's the fun in that?" Zane shook his head, but his fingers lingered a fraction longer before he released her hand. "I hadn't realised amusement ranked so highly among your values." She narrowed her eyes. "You are growing rather bold, considering I just saved your life." Zane, entirely undeterred, tilted his head with an infuriating smile. "Ah, but my dearest", he murmured, stepping closer, "perhaps you saved me because you cannot bear to be without me." She responded with all the grace and dignity of a woman at her wit's end-by clamping a hand over his face and shoving him away with such force that he staggered back, laughter spilling from his lips. "Gah! You are intolerable!" Aurora exhaled sharply, straightening her sleeves as though the mere act of touching him had somehow wrinkled them. *************************** Bound by duty. Shackled by honour. Tormented by feeling. Aurora lives a life shaped by steel and sacrifice. As a knight sworn to her realm, she's loyal, lethal, and alone-unshaken in battle, but increasingly undone in his presence. Zane is a problem: disciplined yet reckless, distant yet always too close. He never asks, never reveals-yet somehow sees straight through her. When a mission draws them deep into peril, forced side by side, what once was teasing sharpens into tension. In stolen glances and moonlit silence, desire simmers beneath duty, and silence becomes the loudest agony of all. As truths unravel and enemies close in, the real question isn't whether they can trust each other... It's whether they can afford not to. Written: March 2025- Feb 2026Complete
