She's trying to move on-until the past shows up in her memories, and the future starts smiling at her across the room.
Senior year was supposed to be Laynie's reset. After a love like Harlan-intense, aching, and impossible to forget-she's trying to stitch herself back together. She swears she's fine. Swears she's over it. Swears she doesn't still flinch when his name comes up.
But then there's Fletcher-her best friend turned maybe-something-more. He's steady. Safe. The kind of easy love that doesn't demand pieces of her, but offers her peace instead. And lately, the way he looks at her? It's getting harder to ignore.
Caught between a past she can't quite bury and a future that feels too good to be true, Laynie has to ask herself:
Is love something you leave behind, or something you find again in someone new?

HeArTlESs BuT YoUrS Book 1
⚠️ Content Warning This story is not for everyone. It explores dark emotions, trauma, abuse, and complicated relationships. Some scenes may be disturbing or emotionally heavy. It's about love, guilt, loss, and the painful ways people learn to forgive. If you're looking for something light, this isn't it. But if you want to feel something real - keep reading. When scandal strips me of my name, I'm sent away to a fog-covered mansion in the hills - a place meant to bury noise, not memories. My father calls it redemption. I call it exile. But the mansion isn't silent. It watches. It listens. And inside it waits Yahir, the boy who once hated me - and now can't seem to look away. Some loves ruin you quietly, like frost seeping through glass. Others devour you whole. As I try to rebuild what's left of me, the world keeps shifting around us: Freed and Volkan, trapped in a cycle of love and violence they can't escape. Ashar and Laith, bound by loyalty and ghosts of the past. And me - trying not to fall for the one person I was never meant to live with. Because love here isn't soft. It's punishment dressed as tenderness. And some wounds refuse to heal, no matter how far you run.

Heartbreak Express
🏆 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 | She ran from her wedding the day she found out the groom was expecting a baby with someone else. Now, with a broken heart and no suitcase, she's starting over in London... Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella Solène Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local café with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming café owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process. It's a story of loss, of starting over, and the two men who force her to face what love really means. Of heartbreak turned healing, of strangers turned family. It's not just about falling in love, it's about who you become when your world shatters... and you choose to rise anyway.Complete![Trying hard not to fall [Complete]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/402618230-256-k895880.jpg)

Wounded Heart ✔
She loved him with devotion so fierce it scorched every heartbeat, every glance. He was her obsession, her reason to breathe, and her undoing. But while her world revolved around him, he remained distant-a presence, never hers. "How do you let go of someone who is the air in your lungs and the ache in your heart?" "He is my breath, and I will forget him when I forget to breathe." Memories burned bright and untouchable-hers alone. She clung to each haunted fragment, every echo of forbidden love. Until fate, honouring a promise to Aashi, forced her into the arms of the man whose heart was a graveyard. "I married you to fulfil her last wish. You will never belong here." His words cut deep-cold, calculated, meant to wound. Cruelty hid his storm. Her silence was her weapon, her pain a fortress. "You think you know pain?" she spat, her eyes blazing. "I live it every day." He turned away, fists clenched. "You don't belong. This will never be your home." Yet, in their grief and fury, sparks flew, igniting something dangerous. "Love and hate are two sides of the same burning coin." When apologies come too late, and regret drowns truth, love risks turning to ash. She walks away, her heart in ruins. He falls, shattered-vowing to bleed, to burn, to reignite the fire in her eyes. "Some hearts are forged in fire. Some burn to ashes." Even if it destroys him. 📅 Start Date: 28th October 2019 ⏳ End Date: 23rd October 2020 ✏️ Edited Date: 2026Complete
