At twenty-one, Vian Laurent is football's brightest star.
The world chants his name. Clubs fight for his signature. He's one season away from winning the Ballon d'Or-the highest honor in football.
But long before the stadiums, the trophies, and the headlines, there was Valeska Romanova.
She loved him when he was just a boy with impossible dreams.
To the world, they're football's perfect couple.
To each other, they're everything.
Until fame begins to demand a price.
Every victory brings another celebration. Every celebration brings another temptation. Every mistake is hidden behind flashing cameras, smiling interviews, and promises that sound sincere.
Vian always comes back.
He has never stopped loving Valeska.
He just can't stop breaking her heart.
As his career reaches unimaginable heights, the line between love and betrayal begins to blur. While the world celebrates football's golden boy, Valeska is left wondering whether love is enough to survive the life that fame has created.
Some matches are won on the pitch.
The hardest ones are fought behind closed doors.
OFFSIDE is an emotional sports romance about first love, impossible ambition, devastating betrayal, and the question that no trophy can answer-
Can you truly love someone while destroying the one thing they trusted you with?
P.S. This story is not about character development or redemption. It's about love, ambition, betrayal, and the consequences of the choices people refuse to change. Some characters grow. Some never do.

And she never expected how dangerous love could be.Complete
The Wife He Forgot to Love
Five years ago, Marco lost the woman he thought he would spend the rest of his life with. A week after being forced apart by her family, Camille married another man abroad-leaving Marco drowning in heartbreak, bitterness, and anger. In one reckless night, he found comfort in Ashley, the complete opposite of the woman he lost: loud where Camille was reserved, warm where Camille was distant, alive in ways that made him forget his pain for just a moment. The next morning, still shattered and drunk on grief, Marco asked Ashley to marry him. She said yes, well, eventually. What began as a marriage built from spite slowly became a life. A home. A family. Ashley gave him a son, gave up her career, and loved him with a devotion so quiet that Marco mistook it for permanence. But even after five years of marriage, part of him remained trapped in the past-haunted by the woman he never truly let go. Then Camille returns. Old feelings resurface. One mistake turns into an affair, and the fragile foundation of Marco and Ashley's marriage begins to collapse. When the truth finally comes out, Marco is forced to confront the cruelest realization of all: the woman he loved first was not the woman he could not bear to lose. Now, with his wife turning colder by the day and another man slowly stepping into the spaces he once took for granted, Marco must fight for the family he nearly destroyed-or risk losing Ashley forever. Because sometimes, love does not arrive at the beginning. Sometimes, it comes years too late. (The plots of my stories are originally mine, but I had help with AI in writing the prose. This is just experimental and for fun. I have another account where I actually do it traditionally)Complete

On the night I lost our baby, Adrian abandoned me during a storm to run after his ex lover. While I bled and broke alone, something inside me finally died. So I disappeared.
