They say time heals all wounds, but no one ever talks about the ones that linger, the kind you carry in silence, pretending you're fine when you're not. For Natalia, love wasn't just a feeling, it was home. Safe. True. He made her believe in forever, in promises and laughs shared over the phone
Then he left.
No warning. No reason. Just silence.
Now, Natalia is left with memories that won't let go. Every hallway echoes his name, every song reminds her of what they were. She's trying to move on, but how do you forget someone who still lives in your heart?
"The Way You Left Still Hurts" is a raw, emotional journey through young love, heartbreak, and the strength it takes to let go.

Heirs Of Aurous
At the most prestigious school on earth, justice doesn't come from the principal's office. It comes from someone wearing a mask. Aureus International doesn't educate students, it ranks them, sorting children into tiers by blood and bank balance until the line between privilege and punishment starts to blur. Money buys silence here. Corruption wears a uniform. And when the system protects the wrong people one too many times, someone starts making them pay for it. They call this someone W. No face. No pattern anyone can prove. Just security footage that loops at the same hour, every time, and a string of golden reputations left in ruins by morning. Eight students walk these halls with more to hide than the rest of the school combined: old debts, older secrets, and a silence none of them are willing to break first. Whether they're hunting W, hiding from W, or something far messier than either, none of them are saying. They say the truth always comes to light, but at Aureus, even light has learned to keep secrets. ______________________________________ Side note: 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 1 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐬 𝐎𝐟 𝐀𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐃𝐮𝐞𝐭 Ib: School 2017 Release days: Whenever I get time. ⚠️ The image used in the cover is not mine. ⚠️![Shards of Memory [English]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/64115078-256-k737107.jpg)
Shards of Memory [English]
They say memories shape who we are. But Skylane Gabriel isn't sure she wants hers back. One by one, fragments return-some tender, some burning, all impossible to ignore. The laughter of friends. The warmth of a hand in hers. A voice that once swore forever. Each piece feels like truth. Each piece feels like betrayal. As the line between past and present blurs, Skylane faces a choice: cling to the comfort of forgetting, or confront the shards of memory that could break her all over again. Because sometimes the past doesn't just return. It hunts you. ashenlz© 2025. All rights reserved.Complete
FALLEN FOR A BAD BOY {BAD MEETS BADDEST}
She witnessed horror... and became one. After surviving a harrowing near-rape and watching her best friend brutally assaulted and murdered before her eyes, Aurora vanished-emotionally. What rose from the ashes was someone unrecognizable: Cold. Fearless. Savage. Untouchable. She trusts no one. Loves no one. And as far as she's concerned, no man alive could ever break through her fortress of ice. Love? Dead. Her rules? Simple. No emotions. No attachments. No second chances. But her new college? A battlefield. And him? Leonard Grande - the kind of trouble she didn't prepare for. Wounded. Rebellious. Addictive. Dangerous. A walking paradox with a face carved by gods and a soul damaged by demons. A notorious playboy who takes pleasure in breaking girls, shredding hearts like paper-because he believes every girl is a liar in disguise. Until Aurora. She doesn't look at him like he matters. She doesn't fall. She doesn't even flinch. And that pisses him off. Now it's war. A toxic game of destruction and seduction. She wants to erase him. He wants to ruin her. But when secrets from the past start surfacing, both realize they've been walking in the dark... and maybe-just maybe-they were destined to collide. How deep do their scars go? And who's really pulling the strings in this web of pain and passion. Dive into a dark college romance where love is a weapon, trust is deadly, and only the strongest survive. When bad meets baddest... there are no rules. Trigger Warning: This story contains themes of sexual violence, emotional trauma, murder, psychological manipulation, and abusive behavior.

"I didn't ask for this..." tears threatened to fall from her eyes, her lips quivering in fear. His grip on both her wrists become tighter as he slams them hard against the wall, trapping her petite body in-between the wall and his body, "You'll never have a place in my life, let alone my heart, do you understand?" She winces from the pain from her wrists. He slams her arms against the wall again. He leans in close enough to the point where their lips are only inches apart, "I said, do you f**king understand, foolish girl?" His voice rises as he clenches his jaw in an impatient manner.
