Alex Bennett has never believed in chaos - only control. Every shirt pressed, every step measured, every word precise. Love, to him, was just another distraction that ruined good people and great plans.
Until she walked in - messy, unpredictable, and everything Alex spent years avoiding. She laughs too loud, questions too much, and doesn't flinch when he loses his temper. Somehow, she sees the boy behind the armor, the one who's forgotten how to be soft.
But perfection cracks, and when it does, it's never quiet.
A slow-burn romance about a man built from rules, a woman made of storms, and the beautiful wreckage that happens when their worlds collide.

Unscripted Verses
*"She followed rules. He broke them for fun."* Emma Bennett never planned to fall for the boss-especially not one like Jaden West. Rich, cocky, and way too charming for his own good, Jaden lives in a world of boardrooms and secrets. She's just trying to survive it. But when tension turns into temptation, and playful banter slips into something deeper, their unscripted connection begins writing its own story-one neither of them saw coming. In a world of expectations, power plays, and emotional scars, can they find love in the chaos... or are they just lines in a book never meant to be written?Abgeschlossene Geschichte
The Ones we Shouldn't Love: ACT I
It starts fast-like lightning striking dry earth. What begins as a spark becomes a fire neither of them can contain. It's the kind of love that keeps you up at night, wide-eyed and breathless, not out of fear, but because you can't bear to miss a single moment. It bruises the heart in places no one sees, but never breaks it-never harms it. Just leaves fingerprints, soft and lingering. Leaving would be easier if love ever truly left. But it doesn't. It lingers in the walls, in the sheets, in the silence between words. One heart clings to memory, loving what was. The other leans into the unknown, loving what might be. And somewhere in between, love becomes a duty-an unspoken promise, heavy and unshakable. All she wants is quiet now. Not the silence of loneliness, but the stillness of peace. A place where her heart doesn't have to choose between two kinds of love-only rest in the safety of her own.
𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐘 || ✍︎︎
𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄 built herself out of glass and fire, sharp enough to cut, bright enough to be seen. Once the head of a rising empire, she now wakes to find her name stripped from the company she created, her life reduced to contracts and control she never agreed to. But she doesn't break; she plots. Every breath becomes strategy, every silence a step toward taking back what's hers. The only problem is the man standing in her way, the same one she can't seem to stay away from. 𝐂𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐍 𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐈 learned early that love was a weapon and obedience the price of survival. Behind his charm lies temper, behind his control lies ruin. He's the son of a man who built kingdoms on blood, and he's spent his life trying not to become him. But when she enters his world, she threatens everything he thinks he understands about power, loyalty, and the quiet hunger he can't seem to kill. ꨄ -#1 in #billionare - 22/08/23 -#3 in #storytelling -14/11/23 -#1 in #girlboss - 06/11/23 -#1 in #stalker - 08/11/23 -#5 in #daddyissues - 21/02/24 -#5 in #arrangedmarriage - 04/07/24

Moonlight Kisses
"Why are you doing that!" she whisper-screams while her eyes flit to the other guys, who are now immersed in something else that isn't us. I kiss that spot again, making her whole body shiver. It's oddly entertaining to watch what my slightest movements do to her. Usually it takes a lot more for a girl to unravel this way, but her breath hitches each time I go to kiss her neck. I could only imagine what my hands could do to her body. "You still didn't answer my question," she huffs harshly. And still she hasn't pulled away from me. Had I been any stupider, I'd say Jordyn was actually enjoying herself. If she hates this so badly, why hasn't she asked me to stop? [] In August, Jordyn Reeve starts attending Crestview Prep and not long after strikes a deal with Beau Clemonte, an arrogant, rude boy who happens to be the thing that can give her what she wants: his best friend, Jake Amherst. Of course, everything worthwhile must come with a price. Despite her outright opinions, Jordyn makes a deal with the devil. Or at least that's what that's what she saw at first -- a coldhearted, stubborn asshole that cared even less than she did. Her only intention was to see this out to get the guy. However, it wasn't that simple for Beau. Cover created by: @meha-k Started October 2020 Completed January 2022Abgeschlossene Geschichte

In the shadow of diamonds (The Diamond He Never Saw)

Because some hearts bruise without breaking. Some goodbyes are never spoken. And some shadows shine brighter than diamonds.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
