Sereia Reuben. Top of her class. Renowned overachiever. Everything she touched turned to gold-until one tragic moment shattered it all.
The accident left her in a wheelchair. In its wake came stares, pitying glances, and a haunting question: What good is a girl with dreams, if she can't even stand?
She withdrew from everything that once defined her. Frustrated. Bitter. Humiliated. Her pride dragged through the mud, her spark snuffed out by pain and silence.
Until one afternoon at the mall. Dragged out by a friend for the first time since the accident, Sereia finds herself suddenly wheeled to a table-his table. Theodore Prescott. Her academic rival, her constant annoyance, the boy she'd sworn to despise.
And yet, he doesn't flinch. Doesn't hesitate. Doesn't treat her any differently.
And that's where it begins
About the girl who couldn't walk, but who learned to stand tall again-even while seated.
And the boy who, against all odds, saw her before she could even look in the mirror.
This is a story not about sudden miracles, but slow rebuilding. About pain, rage, and fragile hope. Of breaking down, healing slowly, and finding strength-and love-in the most unexpected of places.

A Promise To The Beloved...The Threads Of Fate ✓
"You see him as an heir of your empire and not as a family member. All you care about is the inheritance and not the child. If all you want is an heir then why not marry someone and produce as many heirs as you want." She stopped as she narrowed her eyes at him. And then with a mocking expression she continued, "Or is it that you are unable to Re.Pro.Duce??" seeing the angry flush on his face her heart smiled with satisfaction. But before she could celebrate her little victory against him he pulled her from her wrist and she collided with his hard chest. Snaking an arm around her waist he held her tightly as she struggled in his hold. "Don't play with fire, Ms Lilly Jones or don't complain to me later if you end up getting burned." "I've never hated anyone as much as I hate you." she spitted. "The feelings are mutual then, sweetheart." he smiled. _______________ He married her to fulfil a promise he had made long ago. She was supposed to be a bride in name only, a wife just on papers. Then why he felt an undeniable hunger in him every time she met his gaze. Desiring her wasn't a part of his plans. He has never wanted anything as much as he wanted her. And that's where everything started to take an unexpected turn...

Burning for Her: A Love Out of Tune
"She said she hates me?" Then let her hate me so much she can't breathe without thinking of me. I don't want her back just to hold her hand. I want her to be mine. Her soul, her fire, her chaos... all of it. And I swear on every ounce of pain I carry... I'll make her feel safe again. I'll make her feel chosen. I'll make her feel like no man on this cursed earth can touch what's mine. Because she is mine. She always was. And I don't care if the stars fall, or if the gods scream, or if fate tries to rewrite the story... This time, I'll cry for her. I'll bleed for her. I'll kneel for her if I have to. Because she's the war I'll never stop fighting. So, Ira... Be angry. Be distant. Be cruel if you must. But I'm coming to you. Just a few more hours, and you'll see... The man who once broke you... Will be the man who worships your soul like it's the only truth that ever mattered. And I promise... You will love me. Even if it starts with hate. Even if I have to burn myself to light your way. Because what is mine... Will be mine...

I Loved You Blindly [Complete]
'Accidents happen'. That's what people say. Yet, some accidents take away from us more than others. Ethan had it all. Everything was lined up in front of him. Popularity, looks, friends, a hot girlfriend and a promised future in football. In one incident that resulted in a horrible accident, he lost it all. The best friend, the girlfriend, the planned future and his sight. Fighting through darkness and depression, he built high walls that kept everyone out. Skye suffered loss too, but she kept strong for the sake of her little brother, Matt. With her aunt and brother, leaving home and moving to a new place seemed like the perfect solution. A new start that they all needed. Skye's plan was to blend in and keep to herself. Well, not the easiest task when it was obvious as daylight that you were the new girl at school. Especially when she, literally, bumped into Ethan. For Ethan who has been isolating himself and absolutely independent that he pushed everyone away, and Skye being stubborn and not in-the-least shy on saying what she thought openly, fighting and bickering was unpreventable. Skye saw through the walls that Ethan has built around himself. Drawn to him, slowly, their friendship started to turn into something else.

Sharing yoga with others is my refuge from the darkness pulling me to stay home. A ginormous pro football player barging into my classes isn't in my rehab plan. Worse, it's the cocky jerk who treats me like I'm too insignificant to remember. If only I could say the same. Sam Pearson is Houston's golden, champion-winning quarterback. He's arrogant, rude, and reckless. His agent, my brother, thinks I can rehabilitate his injured shoulder and spiraling ego to achieve a long-term contract. I think Sam needs a reality smack in his handsome face. I should hate his rebellious distractions, but I can't stop challenging him out of his comfort zone. After losing most of myself along with my other half, Sam's woken me up inside. He challenges me, irritatingly, which is exciting and scary. He's dangerously close to cracking open my closed-off heart, revealing the secrets holding me back. And yet, he might also be the second chance at love I thought I didn't deserve.

A Whole Different Life (Book I)
"What would you rather? Floating in eternal darkness or...serving me? As my champion?" "Honestly? Neither, why in the world would I choose to be a servant in my next life?!" "Hm, then I suppose-" "Wait, I wasn't finished." She let out a sigh, trepidation heavy in my mind. She's spent her entire life in a world that was 50/50 for her...school was rough but she had companions. Her home life was great but it had its ups and downs. She was beautiful! But...she didn't feel that way. Perhaps another life could give her that? A sense of renewal, a chance to be someone better and greater than the person she originally was. "But! I'll take the latter, I could use a change. A chance to be a different me is always appreciated. After all, it's not like I'm going to be a world-renowned hero right?" ___________ What happens when you die? Do you go to a religious after-life? Do you simply float in black nothingness or do you wake up in the body of another person? Well...for 17-year old Eos Theodoric, a girl who died in a tragic car accident, she knows the answer. Waking up in the body of an animal in service to an Animal Guardian who lives in a different world known as Balerion! Get ready for this one, a fantasy life isn't what it seems!

[WATTYS 2022 SHORTLIST] "Hello again, Pizza Boy?" I glanced up at him with a smile. The blood was rushing out my head but it didn't bother me. "Are you back to make another attempt on my life?" "Shut up," he fumbled, absolutely petrified. "I-I hate you!" I laughed as we were both red in the face; one more sticky then the other, "Aww, I hate you too." My hands held my non-beating chest. "It's mutual trust me. But I guess you really want your Xbox back huh?" -- 17 year-old Evelyn Gates has a quiet yet witty personality. She usually stays in the background and is mediocre at literally everything... just ask anyone. She enjoys the smell of pizza and watching Guy Fieri stuff his face with food in her free time. Oh, and there's one more thing... she's immortal. That's right, Evelyn can't die, and she doesn't know why. Her body just magically puts itself back together again after tragic incidents. She calls it a curse, but the one other person who knows about it calls it a miracle. It's not until her pizza order turns deadly and her mom's boyfriend changes his outlook on life, when Evelyn finds out that there might be some more people involved with her immortality; people who are puppeteering her life and will stop at nothing but to destroy her. - Featured on: @TeenFiction 'FunnyBones' reading list: October 6th, 2021 @StoriesUndiscovered 'The Power of Laughter' reading list: June 1st -30th, 2021 -- Since mock websites are becoming more common, unfortunately, I have to give the disclaimer that this story is only being published on Wattpad.
