Selina's Life Sketches
Orphaned at seven, Selina carries her past like a sketchbook-filled with half-drawn memories of her parents and the bullies who made her childhood a nightmare. Now, at 15, she's starting over at Veridian High, determined to bury her pain and chase her dream of becoming an artist. But Veridian holds more than new friends and homework: it holds the truth about her family.
Her world shifts when she meets RJ, the school's brooding bad boy who alternates between teasing her and protecting her from his half-sister Shari-a cruel queen bee bent on ruining Selina. Shari's mother, Danny, a wealthy socialite, seems to hate Selina for no reason... until Selina discovers a hidden photo: Danny with her late mother, both smiling.
As Selina's art gains attention (drawing her closer to a secret idol audition), she uncovers layers of lies: her teacher, Mrs. Gonzales, is not just kind-she's her mother's sister. RJ's anger at his father, Mr. Sacayanan, stems from guilt over his mother's death... a death linked to Selina's parents. And Shari? She's been manipulated by Danny to hide a decades-old secret: Selina is the rightful heir to the Sacayanan fortune.
Each sketch in Selina's notebook becomes a clue-leading her to confront betrayal, find unexpected allies (like Ken, Shari's conflicted friend), and decide whether to embrace her legacy or protect the new family she's found.
In "Selina's Life Sketches," art isn't just a passion-it's a weapon. And Selina must learn to draw her own future... before someone erases her from it.

Obsession.
If you like fantasy/romance you should try my story The Flower Longed Death. It is written a LOT better than this one is! -------------------------- "You must've got the wrong impression if you keep expecting to get away with shit like this, so let me make things clear," He says with a calm smile. He moves his face closer to mine, losing the lighthearted grin that had previously cooled my nerves. I get a better look at the scar across the bridge of his nose, and the vague one X'ed onto his lips. Now I want them even more. -------------------------- Eighteen year old Mileva never thought her past would catch up to her after leaving years ago to live in New York City. She didn't think she wanted it to. However, she also didn't think she would cross paths with a guy like Valen, the Italian Mafia's heir. He's only twenty three, but he's somehow the most attractive and intimidating man she has ever met, let alone heard of. Mileva battles her anxiety adjusting to this new life of hers, while Valen is just getting comfortable with his new obsession. -------------------------- Word count: 110,000 There is a lot of graphic content, so please read carefully!
