"It wasn't a perfect marriage, But if you asked me to, I'd give up everything."
Without a blink, a tear, or the slightest shift in emotion, every gaze in the room focused on me, sharp as an arrow's point.
Because of this, my smile grew wider, revealing a familiar figure he would recognize behind the contraption I had strapped across half of my face.
It's been three years. My scars have healed, but I never did. I was waiting, not to heal, but to mark someone with the same scars.
My heartbeat grew louder as I made my way to the center of the stage. I thought, I'm probably nervous. No. I'm sure I'm nervous, especially because I haven't met my killer in such a long time.
Despite my surprise, he maintained his composure and quickly offered his hand, assisting me to the dance floor.
With my figure-hugging, puff-sleeved red dress and vintage white laced glove, I reached for his hand and started following his lead as we danced.
A perfect recreation of how we met, how we danced, and how my mistakes started.
How I met the man of my dreams initially, who is now my nightmare.
"Olivia?" he whispered.
It's been a long time, my husband.
"No, Sir. It's Valerie."

"I know you've been hurt." he said, an ashamed tear making its way down his flawless face, "And I can help you. Let me fix it." he took a step forward, his action recklessly perfect. "Fix what?" I asked, shaking my head as hurt tears made their way down my face. I knew nothing could be fixed, Cameron had already killed me a million times, and I doubted I had many lives left. "Your heart." he said, and I looked in his eyes, which I found to be glossy, and offered a weak smile. He was honestly trying, and I knew this was my chance to stop pitying myself, and start a new chapter of my life. Erase the pain from my mind even though I knew I would never be able to click undo. But as much as I wanted to believe the love and hope in my heart could be saved, I knew it wasn't true. "You can't," I whispered, looking rather down, "You can't fix it." he cupped my face in his hands and grinned. He grinned his famous grin that had been threatening to melt my heart since the day I met him. "Watch me."Complete

Rebellious Ride | Book #2 ✓
"Pierce, please I'm trying to study." I let out an aggravated sigh as my eyes flickered upward from the white-colored pages of my textbook. Pierce approached closer to me, sliding the textbook out from my lap and throwing it to the side. "Take a break." His voice demanded as he pressed his lips up to my neck, as he left soft kisses on my skin. I threw my head back, closing my eyes shut as the stress in my body left. I had been studying non-stop for my upcoming chemistry test and I had to admit it'd be nice to have a break. "I really need to study-" I started but couldn't finish my sentence as Pierce pressed his lips to mine. I gave in to his kiss as his lips moved in sync with mine. He pushed me flat down on the bed as his body hovered over mine. His hands grabbing my hips as he scrunched up my clothes, pushing them up to reveal my skin. I placed my hands flat on his chest as his lips continued to move with mine. The kiss turning from soft to passionate within seconds. He grabbed my thigh, forcing my legs to wrap around his torso not breaking his lips away for a second. I moved my hands down to the body of his shirt, tugging on the end of them. "For fuck sakes," Pierce muttered as he broke away from me, his phone ringing. He pulled away from me, grabbing his phone off the nightstand only for me to get a glance that it had been Xander calling. He placed the phone up to his ear, rubbing his face in his hands. "What is it?" I asked in concern, watching Pierce's expression change from annoyance to worry as Xander spoke through the phone. I waited for Pierce to say something but he didn't before hanging up and grabbing my leather jacket off the chair that was nearby, throwing it over to me. "We need to go. NOW." Pierce stated, his voice demanding and cold as he reached for his keys and walked out of the apartment. I sat on the bed, clutching my jacket in my hands as I stared ahead at the ground, swallowing a lump in my throat. Can I just catch a break for once?Complete
Alice II
Dumbfounded, I left. I entered my room to find Drake sitting on the bed. "What's wrong with you? Your emotion seem in shock," he commented. A tear started to develop in my eyes. Now in a more serious tone, Drake said, "Alice? What's wrong Alice? Speak to me" I still didn't react. He was now holding my shoulders, giving me a little shake. "Alice? Alice, did he hit you?" Drake questioned. I felt my eyes widen as the teardrop finally fell. "He did, didn't he?" I glance over at Drake finally but I remained silent. I was still in shock I couldn't form words to say. Drake started getting off the bed. When I saw he about to go to the door, something finally woke up in me and I grabbed his shirt to stop him. "W-w-what are y-you doing?" I asked, finally speaking. "I'm going to kill him. He should have never put his hands on you," Drake explained with so much hate in his voice. "Drake, p-please," I begged, holding his shirt in a harder grip. "I'm just suppose to accept this?!" he asked. He was so angry, his eyes sparkled. I fell to the floor, still holding his shirt, I started crying. "Please Drake. Please j-just stay with me," I begged harder, feeling the waterworks going down my cheeks. Drake face lighten up and he looked sorry for me. He helped me up and set me on the bed. He lied my head on his chest. "Okay Alice. I'll stay with you," he told me.Complete
A living THING
"B... Bryce?" I said quietly between my light sobs. He didn't answer me. He looked dangerous. His hands covered in blood, his jaw damaged, his eyes... I didn't know, what exactly I saw in them, but I knew, there was nothing good. I realized, I might be in danger myself. I had no idea of what is going on in his mind. I started walking away, keeping my body close to the wall behind me. I stumbled on some trash, but gained my balance back, never leaving the sight of him - now, a total stranger, in front of me. He slowly followed me, his eyes registering every movement I made. They looked predatory, all his appearance looked like it. Following every movement of his pray. And I knew that pray was me. Some cries left my dry lips. I couldn't hold in anymore of this tension. I turned around and started to run, run away from this place, away from him. Before I could make some steps, I felt my upper arm grabbed strongly. I let out a scream and desperately tried to free myself from his strong grip. Bryce took my other arm and made me face him. My heart dropped in my stomach, as I saw his hard stare. I stopped for a second, but then tried to get myself away from him again. "Stop trying! You are not going anywhere!" I heard his voice, which was said through his clenched teeth. He momentarily turned me around and grabbed my hole upper body and wrapped his strong arms around me, making it impossible to move my hands and myself. I started to scream again, but again, his fast movements stopped me. I felt him squeeze me tighter. He lifted me up from the ground a bit and put his large hand on my mouth. That made my panic rise even more. I was so afraid. I had no idea of what he is going to do with me. Is he going to kill me? I felt his head resting against my head, his breath touching the top of my ear, sending a strong shiver of fear through my body. I couldn't see anything, as my eyes were filled with endless streams of tears.Complete

She glance at it, "Can't you read, it's our divorce papers?" "I know what it is but..." I stepped forward to her while she stepped backwards, she was now trapped between me and the wall. She had no where to go, I could feel her breast against my chest as they rise and fall, my hands placed on the side of her head against the flat surface not allowing her to escape. "I'm not divorcing you. Not now not ever." "Oh, really you don't have a say in that matter. Or would you like me to sue you for adultery. Save your reputation while you still can." She spat. I took a sniff, she smelt like vanilla, it was all over her, I can't wait to hold her once again. "I know what you must be thinking, and what ever it is stop thinking it. I did not sleep with her." "Oh really you could've fooled me with all that breathing and moaning, I'm not stupid. So why don't you sign the damn papers so we both can move on with our lives." "No way in hell I'm moving on without you. And I will never let you move on. Divorce or not you are mine and no one else." "Ha!" She chuckled, "I'm no one's property." "On the contrary If I have to, I will tattoo my name on your fuckable ass." She stared at me cold hard. "Tsk tsk tsk Ally, you must know baby girl you...are....it....for...me..." I breathe hard in her ear causing her to shiver.

Stay Where I Can See You (Original)
When her bestie's childhood friend Archer gets caught in a messy breakup that spirals into public drama, Amara is asked to keep an eye on him to keep him out of trouble. What she didn't expect was how quickly he'd start showing up everywhere-uninvited, unfiltered, and under her skin. ****************************************************** Archer had sprawled across her bed without asking, one ankle hooked over the other, fingers absently gripping the sheets like he owned the space. His hair kept falling into his eyes as he grinned at her - too casual for someone who'd just invited himself in. "If you keep looking at me like that, I'm gonna start thinking you like me," he mused, voice low and teasing, eyes flicking over her face as if searching for a crack in her expression. Amara exhaled slowly, the sound deliberate. She shifted in her chair, just enough to show she wasn't rattled, closing a little of the distance without moving closer. "I'm looking at you because you're sitting on my bed," she said flatly. His grin deepened, almost sheepish, a flicker of something vulnerable hiding in it. "Well... you didn't tell me to get out." She tilted her head, eyes narrowing, a quiet challenge behind them. "You didn't ask if you could stay." He leaned back on his hands, the pose lazy but his gaze fixed on her, heavy enough to thicken the air between them. "You'd miss me if I left," he murmured, the words half a whisper-like he was testing the truth of it more than making a joke. She studied him for a long moment, really studied him, as if peeling back the bravado to see what sat underneath. Her eyes softened, but her scrutiny didn't fade. She leaned forward a fraction. "Would you miss you if you left?" ❤️ Each character's boards available on my public pinterest account: https://pinterest.com/elliebcarterbooks
MIS(S)MATCHED- Sins and Regrets
She came out of the washroom, her stomach emptied from relentless vomiting. In her trembling hand, she held a pregnancy kit-two unmistakable pink lines stared back at her, declaring the beginning of a life growing inside her. She froze, eyes locked on the test. "No... no... this can't be happening," she whispered, her voice cracking before she collapsed to her knees, tears streaming down her face. Just then, the door creaked open. He walked in. The moment she saw him, she sprang to her feet, stormed towards him, and grabbed his collar. Her eyes blazed with fury and betrayal. "You cheated me! You trapped me in this marriage!" she shouted, her voice trembling with rage. "You manipulated me, married me, and now this?" she yelled, thrusting the test in front of his face. He stared at it in confusion, but as his eyes registered the two pink lines, understanding dawned. Slowly, a smile spread across his face. She's pregnant... She's carrying my baby... I'm going to be a father. His heart raced with happiness. His plan had worked. She threw the kit to the floor and began pounding her fists against his chest, sobbing, "Why? Why did you do this to me? What did I ever do to deserve this? You've ruined my life! I hate you... I hate you! And I will never forgive you!" A twisted, guilty joy stirred in his chest. As much as it hurt to see her like this, a selfish part of him felt victorious. He couldn't bear the thought of losing her-so he did what he had to do. If love wasn't enough to keep her, then maybe responsibility would be. At least now, she was tied to him... if not by choice, then by duty. He knew her parents would never let her walk away, not with a baby on the way. And maybe-the child could bring them closer. Maybe it could fix what he broke. He smirked, a dark thought creeping in. Now, she couldn't leave. She was TRAPPED WITH HIM. FOREVER.Complete
