Unravelling
Lily is happy with her life. She has a unique family that she can rely on as well as four great friends who support her - and vice versa. She doesn't mind school, loves to play soccer in her spare time and cannot say no to sweets. For as long as she can remember, it has always been just her and her brothers. There are no parents in the picture. The 12-year-old has never bothered to find out what actually happened to them and she has never even met them. Her oldest brother is her and the other minors' guardian. This is how it has always been, and Lily likes it that way. However, something seems to be changing. Three of her brothers suddenly move back home, or at least make plans to do so. The older ones start to act secretive and they appear more preoccupied than usual. Certain things don't add up anymore. Lily's curiosity is piqued. What is going on with her family? What are her oldest brothers hiding from her? Have they been lying to her? Who are her parents? And where are they? Join Lily on a journey that will turn her life upside down and that will put everything into a new perspective, as things slowly start to unravel.Complete

But as she is growing up, she feels that her parents have lost love for her because they are always busy handling their business. Her father is a businessman and mother a businesswoman. Being an only child, it has reduced her interaction and friendliness. Even though she still hangs out with Julia, her best friend since kindergarten.

Everyday is becoming worse and she is questioning her inner self, will it ever become better or not.

She would not let Bethany go. She has thought one thing and that is to use Bethany. Benefit from her. Would Bethany be ever be able to make a escape out of Ragenite's cage or she has to work for her for life? Does she have enough courage and hope that she will fix everything and start a new life filled with love and happiness? What happens when enough attention is not given to child like Bethany.

If you like this story, please don't forget to hit that star. ⭐️ thanks to those who are checking my story. Please don't be a ghost reader. This book need editing. Sorry if it bothers you.Complete
Flower Girls
Caroline loves her new friend Lily. They do almost everything together. But as time goes on, it becomes more and more apparent that Lily is not everything she seems to be. Where did Lily come from, what is she hiding, and what's the real reason for their intense friendship? For those of you who are already familiar with my writing, I should let you know that this short story is nothing like anything else I've written. I wrote it as a birthday gift for a ten-year-old girl. She devoured the whole thing in couple of hours and when she finished, she told me she loved it. This ten-year-old girl is very girly, she likes unicorns and rainbows and magical worlds, but she also likes Sci-Fi and scary, threatening bad guys. As a result, the genre of this book is quite niche, and it may not be appropriate for every ten-year-old. There are some confrontations I would categorise as "mild peril." Spoiler Alert: If you're a parent looking for something for a child of a similar age, there are two deaths in this book and so you may want to check it out first because I recognise every child is different. (The girl I wrote is for said they weren't graphic deaths, and she was fine with both in the context of the story.) Anyway, she asked me to put it out there for others to enjoy, so ... enjoy.Complete
He completes me
**Keep in mind...this story was written nearly two years ago. I am a completely different writer (and person) and I hope to post some of my better work on Wattpad. Read if you want but please keep the comments respectful. Thank you** Tess Shields thinks she has it all. In reality, her entire life, her words, her friends...are all shallow. And sometimes, it takes a little more depth to make your life seem whole. Who would have ever thought that Ace Blais would make her feel more complete? The journey he takes her through makes her feel less like who she's supposed to be, And more like who she truly is. Read a short but beautiful novella about digging deeper and finding oneself. **Amazing cover created by @QueenoftheKingdom**Complete
The Legend of the Mirror - Animal Crossing: New Leaf
A new girl moves to the town of Lilycove and has no idea what she's getting into. After a while she starts realizing that people are keeping secrets from her, especially her best friend. Does she and her friends have what it takes to save the town? Note: This story does take place in the Animal Crossing world. It was easier to have villagers' names and appearances all ready, so I wouldn't have to come up with about 30 different characters and names. I do not own any of Nintendo's characters. All of their characters belong to them. ~~~ This was written a long time ago when I was, like, 13. Please have mercy! ˃̣̣̣̣̣̣o˂̣̣̣̣̣̣Complete
The Rose Necklace
A "Beauty and the Beast" retelling. Once upon a time, there was a boy in love with a Lilly. Not a flower, but a girl. It all started one beautiful autumn day. One autumn day that would change the boy's life forever. For on this day, he met Lilly, a beautiful girl with an ugly secret. A secret that threatens to destroy her if she cannot find a way to break the curse forced upon her. Filled with secrets, lies, and love, this short story captures the essence of the original fairy tale with an entirely new twist. ~~~ "Hello, my name is Lilly. What's yours? Is that your mother? I only just came to live here with Ivy, and I don't know many people that come to visit her yet. Do you come often? If you do, we could be friends! Would you like that? To be friends? Why, don't you speak at all? And you should really close your mouth; it is impolite to stare like that." Ivy called out to her from the doorway of the cottage. "Lilly, if you want him to speak, you must first cease speaking." Both of the women were laughing at the children, and Lilly blushed at the comment. "Sorry! I just haven't seen anyone my age yet, and I got excited, which happens rather easily. It reminds me a bit of puppies I've read about that just get so excited that they- oops. I'm doing it again. Sorry," she said with a shy smile. Adam, who had been standing there staring, just as she had pointed out, finally found his voice long enough to tell her his name. She beamed at him, saying that they would be great friends. She seized his hand and began tugging him toward the woods behind the cottage, shouting to Ivy and his mother, "We won't go far! Be back soon!" ~~~Complete
Dissolving
****THIS IS A SEQUEL. To be able to follow this story, please read "Unravelling" first**** Lily has started into the new year with a mixture of confusion, curiosity, anticipation - and dread. Ever since her oldest brothers revealed some of the truth about their family's past, the 12-year-old soon-to-be-teenager is struggling to come to terms with all the new and partially heart-breaking information. For the first few months of the year, Lily has tried to stay true to her word and not dig any further into their past, at least not until Alex, her guardian, is willing to share more details with the younger kids. However, Lily's patience is slowly running out. So many things are occupying her mind. She is convinced that there is still a lot more to discover about her family, and she is not willing to wait much longer. What is their father's story and can she locate him? How did her sister die? When will she see Finn again? Why is Sean really moving back home? And what is the reason behind her brothers' weirdly secretive behavior? With the help from her friends and some of her siblings, Lily continues her journey of gradually unravelling her family's secrets. Will she be successful? Will the implications of her discoveries slowly dissolve her family or is she able to save these fragile relationships before it is too late? Join Lily once again as she juggles school, friends, family (meetings), the general challenges of growing-up, creepy stalkers, some tragedies and maybe even her first encounter with something akin to a crush in these rather eventful months of her life.Complete
