23 year old Adele Sommer wants nothing more than to escape her current life. While her parents are multi-billionars in Germany-they're also controlling dicks. Her whole life has been based on making them happy- rather than making herself happy. And the present is no different. Her dreams of becoming a fashion designer are crushed when she's forced to leave Germany after getting accepted at Harvard. Not only that- but despite her lack of interest in romance, her parents are pressuring her to marry an American.
Sergei has many faults and mistakes- but the one he's questioning the most was his idea to live in America. At 18, he joined the military for three years, but after an accident, he returned home to care for his slowly dying father. After the death of his father, he left Russia and moved to America. He had falsely assumed that everything would work itself out, and he would grow to love the land of the free. But he finds himself dreading each and every day. At 24, he still has yet to find his purpose in life. Instead of living the American dream, he's stuck working day after day at a diner he doesn't wish to work at. And even if he wanted to, he doesn't have enough money to move back to Russia. So essentially, he's stuck working his days away.
Two hopeless souls. One struggling to avoid the fate her parents have claimed for her, and find her own happy ending. And the other one is wondering where the hell his happy ending even is.

Heartbound
She's the housemaid with tired l He's the billionaire's son :too smooth, too smug, and way too used to getting what he wants. But not her. She hates him. At least, she *thinks* she does. He claims he doesn't care. But if that's true, why does he always seem to end up exactly where she is? su They're fire and steel, oil and spark. It started with hate. It might not end that way. She was supposed to drop off a key... and ended up breaking a *very* expensive antique. Now he says she owes him *five years of her salary*. She told him to go to hell. He told her he'd gladly drive her - in his Lamborghini. Now he's showing up everywhere. Watching her mop floors like it's a movie. Throwing smirks like confetti. And somehow, she *hates* that she notices him. And his stupid jawline. And his even stupider smile. He's annoying. She's impossible. And somewhere between "I hate you" and "don't touch me"... sparks are flying. --- *"You're not my type," she snapped.* *"Good," he replied. "I hate competition."* ---. *Five Years or Forever?* *Heartbound* Enemies. Chemistry. Forbidden tension. One heart's already falling - the other's just pretending not to. --- *Author's Note:* Think this is your regular billionaire-falls-for-the-maid romance? Think again. This is slow-burn, clean, sharp-witted, and full of late-night tension, cold stares, and accidental closeness they never saw coming. He's not a savior. She's not a damsel. But when their worlds collide? Even pride might not survive. Start reading and see what five years of punishment does to a heart that just wants to be free.
In the Arms of Danger
"Who are you?" I asked, still left in the shock and scared state that came over me when gunshots were heard. I look up to his face which was hidden behind a dark shadow and bit my lips as silence fell between us. "Who I am is none of your business," he said in a cold, husky voice that somehow caused me to shiver. A frown made it's way onto my face as I looked at the mysterious man who refused to tell me who he is. He stood tall in front of me as we fell into silence again but only for a few seconds before he began to slowly move towards me. His face slowly being exposed to the light, giving me a glimpse of his icy grey eyes. "let's go" he spoke again before turning around. I hesitated a bit before turning around and for some reason followed behind him. ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── Ariana is a 26-year-old young lady, employed at a famous bar in New York City.

My First Love
Meet Alizah, the ultimate parent-pleaser extraordinaire! She's like the CEO of "Operation Make-Parents-Happy," always two steps ahead of what her parents need. If love was measured in mango pickles, Alizah would have made enough to last the whole neighborhood for years-because nothing makes her happier than knowing her parents are proud (and well-fed). She's not just obedient; she's the gold-standard role model for "I'll do anything for my parents," with a side of humor and a smile that says,"Challenge accepted!" Life was all smooth until one day-BAM! Her parents dropped the biggest bombshell: "We found the perfect boy for you!" Before she could say, 'Not Ready' she was already knee-deep in wedding prep, forced into a marriage she never signed up for. The boy? A soft-spoken, polite guy named Vivaan, who looks like the human version of a greeting card-nice, but completely unnecessary (in her opinion). Now, Alizah isn't one to rebel; she's the kind of girl who'd say "thank you" after getting scolded. But being obedient has *limits*-and they were crossed somewhere between picking bridal lehengas and smiling for selfies at pre-wedding shoots. In her mind, she plotted "Mission Sabotage" Unfortunately, nothing worked, because Alizah parents could win *Gold* in emotional blackmail. "Beta, we just want to see you happy," they'd say with teary eyes, making her surrender faster than a cricketer caught in an LBW. And so, Alizah steps into her new life, half in disbelief, half in acceptance-like a girl boarding the wrong train but thinking, "Well, at least the view outside might be nice in this fake world" "Some journeys begin without a destination."Whether this one leads to chaos or contentment, only time will tell. Prepare for laugh-out-loud moments, heart-tugging twists, and the sweetest mess of feelings!Concluida
