Lillian Oakes had a plan: stay invisible, stay efficient, stay out of trouble.
But when a broken elevator traps her with a man who shouldn't matter-but somehow does-everything begins to shift.
He's charming, unreadable, and far more powerful than he lets on. She's grounded, sharp, and not nearly as invisible as she thinks.
What starts as a chance encounter spirals into something deeper-something neither of them fully understands.
In a world of glass walls and whispered secrets, one moment can pull you in.
And one man can change everything.
Some stories don't begin with a spark.
They begin with a stall.

Gilded Amnesia
She woke up with no memory. He says he's her husband. But in a world of luxury and lies, can she trust the man she's falling for? The last thing she remembers is the screech of tires and a blinding light. When she opens her eyes, she's in a penthouse more luxurious than any dream, wearing a silk nightgown she'd never afford, and a devastatingly handsome stranger is calling her Amelia. He claims he's Liam Croft, her billionaire husband, and that a terrible accident stole her memories. Thrust into a life of glamour and secrets, she must play the part of a wife she can't remember. But nothing adds up. The way the staff watches her with wary eyes. The locked doors. The flashes of a past that feels like someone else's nightmare. Liam is magnetic, protective, and looks at her with a longing that feels real. But as fragments of the truth begin to surface, she uncovers a dangerous web of corporate espionage and hidden enemies. The greatest threat of all might be the man sleeping beside her-the man she's dangerously close to loving all over again. Who can she trust in a world where everyone knows her... except herself?
THE WATCHER.
She thinks she's invisible-just a waitress working late shifts to pay her bills, slipping through life without being noticed. But she's wrong. Someone sees her. Him. Cold, powerful, and dangerously obsessed, he's watched her for months from the shadows. He knows her routines, her smile, the way she tucks her hair behind her ear when she's nervous. To the world, he's an untouchable billionaire, ruthless and controlled. But when it comes to her, control is slipping. When she accidentally stumbles into his world-an overheard phone call, a mistaken identity, a stormy night-he decides watching isn't enough anymore. He wants her. Needs her. And he'll do anything to keep her close... even if it means unraveling her world to remake it with him at the center.
Unwanted Wedlock
''Let me help you, ma'am,'' a man who was probably the flight attendant said. Damn. Ryerson Reeds even had handsome flight attendants. The man stooped a bit, leaning close to her and taking the seatbelt from her hands. He was holding eye contact and Lyla felt herself grow amused as she stared back at him. He was going to start buckling her up before someone cleared their throat loudly. They both looked up to meet Reeds' blue-green eyes. ''I think I can help my wife, thank you,'' he said. Lyla's eyebrows shot up. The dude barely talked to her and he was already getting possessive? How does that even add up? Reeds stopped taking the two parts of the seat belt in his hands, ''you couldn't do this without help?'' he muttered to her savagely. Lyla glared at him, before he could even get the belt close to her she took it from his hands and snapped it in the right place. She gave him a sickly sweet smile and Reeds simply scoffed and walked to his seat. The rest of the plane ride was quiet. One would think after that small exchange they would start having some kind of conversation. Wrong. ___________________ This isn't a cliche story where the girl falls for the guy by a simply little gaze. She's stubborn, she's maybe a little relatable, and she's assertive. But she didn't think she was for him. Lyla Vell; the name itself oozed the confidence which was her, and Ryersoon Reeds? Two words to describe him: Arrogant and plain painful. And when these two personalities are in an arranged marriage. Shit about to go down. ___ This is my first Wattpad story. Hope you'll like it! This entire story is NOT mature. Only the last few chapters are and you can still finish the plot without reading those few mature chapters. For those who are hesitant to read the story because it is tagged mature, I'm promising you only the last few chapters are mature, you can read chapters 1-19 without any disturbance of smut. That was for those who're hesitant. Love you. DON'T COPY MY WORK!Complete
The Quiet Between Us
It's not a love story. It's the ache of wanting someone you were never meant to want. She didn't plan to feel anything. He wasn't even supposed to be the doctor. What was meant to be a routine appointment stirred something deeper-a quiet ache, a forbidden pull. In the space between silence and small talk, her world shifted. This is a true story of unexpected emotional connection, of chemistry that whispered instead of shouted, and of the blurred lines between care and curiosity. It's not a love story. It's a story of awareness. Of reflection. Of the quiet ache of wanting- someone you were never supposed to want anything from.

Teressa, being ignorant to everything, dived into a world that took her back to the darkest part of her life. A life that kept following her from the past, along with the twin brothers.
