In a world where desire is currency and fame never sleeps, Bella Blonde is untouchable.
A legend of romance films, she's built an empire on confidence, beauty, and the illusion of perfect love. Every glance is calculated. Every smile, rehearsed. To millions, she's the dream.
But behind the lights, Bella is alone.
Then there's Mikki.
Nineteen. Quiet. Overlooked. A girl who's spent her whole life in the background-until one impulsive moment changes everything. A charm. A confession. A connection that wasn't supposed to be real.
What begins as a secret becomes something far more dangerous: honest.
As whispers turn into headlines and stolen moments turn into scandal, Bella and Mikki are pulled into a storm where gossip is power and love is a liability. The world is watching, waiting for them to fall apart.
But for the first time in her life, Bella doesn't want to perform.
She wants to choose.
And Mikki?
She's no longer content being a fan.
She's ready to stand beside her.
No matter the cost.

Rune mage
Rune mages are rare and frankly everyone knows rune mages don't usually survive the training required to become a sanctioned mage. Rouge mages are hunted and killed. Logan Lofe is determined to finish the mage training as top mage, despite being a rune mage and limited to runes. But his success comes at a high price even he can't predict. In a battle of him against an army, will his rune magic be enough? You might enjoy this story if you like first person narratives, like magic and (possibly overpowered) underdogs who may or may not gradually become less stable as the story goes on. If you're looking for a lot of descriptions of physical characteristics of characters or land or buildings... I'm not great at that and as a reader I prefer making my own descriptions. Feel free to leave ideas. CONTENT WARNING: This story has a LGBTQ secondary character. This story includes swearing. This is a story with violent themes (it is war time) Mention of rape- no graphic descriptions There will be deaths.Complete
Silent Music at False Dawn(Mature) (((Complete)))
The book of contradictions;-) An albino musician/luthier from the big easy stumbles through a portal in a black-witches shop. He falls down a literal rabbit hole, with nothing but his charming good looks, fast legs (and wits), and genius level intellect, (despite, or perhaps because of, his past) to save him. He lands in a fantasy realm, and maybe gets an answer to the fantasy he never knew he had? (Mostly romance, I'll keep it clean unless that's not the situation.) "Caution!!! This story will contain SOME NSFW and Smut/lemon content!!! Do not read if you're a minor or else I'm not responsible for your innocence! Peace!!"Complete![In The Life Of A Villain [GxG] ✓](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/233924878-256-k813391.jpg)

[COMPLETED] [note! This story is very cringe, I wrote it when I was 12. So, you get the idea. But I'm not taking this story down as it's my first story I've published in this platform] This is a MCU story but the main characters are made by me, i.e, not included in the official Marvel cinematic universe. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One of them was supposed to win. But the plot twisted, when love came between them...or maybe linked them together. ______________________________________________ Guess what. I suck at description. Anyways. Please read and enjoy the story. This is a short story but I guess it's not that badComplete![Tough Love [COMPLETE]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/123882731-256-k463717.jpg)
