"Some loves are meant to be. Others are meant to destroy."
Grace and Adrian's three-year relationship culminates in a picture-perfect wedding, but beneath the surface, Grace's happiness is fragile. She convinces herself she's content-until George, Adrian's enigmatic best friend and best man, enters her life. George is a mystery Grace can't help but be drawn to, though she knows nothing about him except that he's the man standing by her fiancé's side.
What Grace doesn't know is that George has loved her from afar since their college days. To him, she was always the one-radiant, captivating, and utterly out of reach. But she fell for Adrian, his best friend, a man who never deserved her and treats her with indifference. George's presence at the wedding isn't just as the best man; it's a calculated move. He's waited years for this moment, and he's determined to have Grace at any cost.
As the wedding festivities unfold, George's quiet obsession begins to unravel Grace's carefully constructed world. His lingering glances, cryptic words, and unexpected acts of kindness stir something deep within her. But Adrian's controlling behavior and emotional neglect only grow more apparent, forcing Grace to question everything she thought she wanted.

Love was not part of the plan
In a world of power and privilege, Elara is forced into a loveless marriage with Damien, a cold and calculating heir who views her as nothing more than a pawn in his family's game. Trapped in a gilded cage, Elara struggles to suppress her anger, fear, and the flicker of defiance still burning within her. As the wedding date looms, Elara begins to uncover the darker layers of Damien's obsession, the weight of her family's betrayal, and her own desperate need for freedom. With her bold and fiercely loyal best friend, Lisa, by her side, Elara must navigate secrets, control, and danger. But when her fight for survival reveals truths she never anticipated, Elara faces a question she's been too afraid to ask: Can she reclaim her life-and her heart-or will she lose everything in the process? In this dark romance of power, pain, and self-discovery, love was never part of the plan... but it might just become her only way out.
Cynical Souls
COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Lengkap
Ares
• MATURE STORY • Sydney couldn't help but give her best friend curious eyes after that encounter, watching the stunning man walk away from the corner of her eyes.

She knows she's heading for heartbreak, but how can she run when he won't let her? ♡♡♡♡♡ "I'm going to ruin you. I"ll be your first, and I'll fuck you so thoroughly that I'll be your last, too.

"S'agapo." he whispered, gently wiping her tears away.Lengkap
Back To You
Madison thought she had closed the door on Tayler forever. Two years ago, she walked away, leaving behind the only boy who ever truly knew her-the one who made her feel safe, seen... and ultimately, shattered. She swore she'd never look back. But now, fate has other plans. Thrown back into each other's lives, Madison tells herself she's over him. That what they had is nothing more than a distant memory. But Tayler? He makes forgetting impossible. He's still the same cocky, flirtatious guy who knows exactly how to push her buttons-and pull her back in. Every lingering glance, every teasing remark feels like a dangerous game, and she's not sure she knows the rules anymore. But between them stands more than just unfinished business. New love, tangled emotions, and the unshakable weight of what once was. Madison knows she should keep her distance, but when it comes to Tayler, that's always been easier said than done. "You still look at me the same way," she muttered, hating the way her voice wavered. Tayler smirked, stepping closer, his voice low and daring. "And you still get flustered when I do." She should leave. She should mean it this time. But what if their story was never meant to end-just to begin again?Lengkap
