Esbee gazed at the window. She saw a young girl running and giggling chasing a white fluffy dog.
She wished that she could join them. Her eyes began to water from exhaustion. It is 3 in the morning. This is the third night she had been awake to work from her marble crusted table nicely manicured with leather trims at the side. She is handling a high profile case on graft involving VIPs and VVIPs and the trial dates are just around the corner. She knows she just had to fight the sleepiness and tiredness. A short snooze will do, she thought to herself, allowing her body to reenergize to last her for another 3 to 4 hours.
The little magical house appeared right in front of her eyes. Everything seems so familiar and cosy. The young girl appears once again. This time, she is standing right outside the house together with two adults, her parents. They are exchanging smiles and hugs.
Esbee's vision begins to become blurry. A sharp sound of an alarm clock pierces through her eardrums. She squints and quickly realises that she has just awoken from a dream. A dream into her young self and the little magical house.

INSIGHT ON MAI DIARY
The "Please..." I hear her whimper and I go into full panic mode. "Calm down, okay? Deep breaths. Don't hang up. I'll be with you soon. Where are you?" I rush as I grab the car key sitting on the glass table. I run into the garage with my dad behind me. "What do you need?" Dad asks "A room. A big one." He runs back inside as I hear her voice again. "Basement...blood...Elle..." I hear sounds of movement in the background and connect the dots. Elle's bleeding, or something... "Deep breaths baby, deep breaths. It's okay, you're okay" I murmur reassuring words to her, thankful that there's no traffic. Several thoughts run through my mind as I drove to her house. The last time we spoke, she could barely stand me, but now she's calling me. I feel kinda used, but now's not the time to think about that. I reach her house in a matter of minutes and shove the door open. The house is quiet, save for my heavy breathing and footsteps. I reach the basement and take in the sight in front of me. Blair cradles her brutally beaten-up sister in her lap as she rocks herself back and forth blinking very frequently. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Currently being edited Look out for cringe worthy typos and plot loopholesComplete
Talking to the Stars (Completed)
Big empty rooms. Yells echoing across the corridors. The stench of Mother's whisky breath. The sound of the clock in the dining hall where Father never eats, endlessly ticking away the hours without him. Sometimes, there are scars that don't go away. This is not a love story. It's not about magic and hope. This is the story of my life, for the times I had no one but the stars. _____ I clambered onto the roof, even if it was chilly for star watching. I needed a helping hand. “Why?” I asked the sky, the moon, the stars—anyone who would listen. But they didn’t answer. How childish of me, to talk to the stars, I was pathetic wasn’t I? Yet I tried again. “Help?” Nothing. “Talk to me you damn stars!” I shouted. Just then, a shooting star flew by, like a dashing stroke of paint, gone as quickly as it had come. It seemed that this was my chance. I said, “I wish someone would love me, as much as I love the stars.” And to those words, I went back into my room, my cell, and awaited my fate.Complete

Tied by Little Hands
She only wanted to do her job care for the children, keep her head down, and move on. At the house she works in now, everything looks perfect on the surface.

The whispers start small, the looks start to linger, and before she can make sense of it, one accusation changes everything. From the moment she steps into their world, nothing feels normal. The fathers are polite but distant, their stares unreadable. The house is beautiful but quite way too quiet. And the children... the children cling to her like they've been waiting for her all along. She tells herself it's just another job. That she doesn't need their approval. That she can't afford to care. But the walls in this house have secrets. And so do the men watching her. Soon, she'll learn that sometimes, it's not the little hands that are hardest to let go of it's the ones you never saw reaching for you in the dark.
his Grace
He learns to love when fighting his demons. Where his demons becomes hers but she has to be an angel to save him from it. PLEA,,,,'' he stilled and turned around only to find her staring at him with a lost look. She looked away when he raised a brow at her then lowered her sight. He noticed the way her hand held tightly onto her dress as if it provided her the strength. The strength she needed for what she was about to say. She took a deep breath and in a defeated tone she let the word out''STAY.......'' ''NO'' was all he said as he waited for her reaction. She was taken aback with his reply. She looked up at him with her teary eye but she never let it roll down. "But you have to think about them too. How can you be so heartless? I never ever asked anything from you beside you never wanted this so called MARRIAGE.'' He strode towards her took one of her hand in his and bringing his other hand he put the ring in her palm saying "I have a very important meeting so I won't be staying as of now. But by the time I return home if this ring is on your finger and a smiling wife of mine is waiting for me with dinner on the table. Maybe! I might reconsider her wishes. Hmmmmm??? '' with a grin on his face he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Bye Elena'' saying that he left the room. Elena looked down at the ring she removed some few minutes ago to return it to Ethan. Only to have him return it back to her. "Ohhhhhh GOD please help me'' she prayed a silent prayer. Minimum 3chapters will be updated every week. 😉Complete

I bit my tongue, regretting that remark. "The other girls can't possibly compare to my pretty girl." He ignores the question, his eyes scanning my face for any signs of a reaction to his charm. "My lovely.." He pulled my arm towards him. I felt a slow kiss on the back of my hand. "Sweet.." then another on the other hand. "-golden heart girl." He looked up through his eyelashes. I stay silent as I looked around the room, avoiding eye contact. He placed his free hand on my waist, the other still holding my hand. "Shall I call them over while I have you bent over this bed?" He says planting a kiss on my stomach, going lower each time. I run my free hand through the back of his hair, gently pulling his head back slightly, forcing him to look back up at me. He had a dangerously evil smile on. I knew my cheeks were going red, I pushed him away and rushed towards the the door. "You always do this." I mumble quietly, trying to catch my breath which I lost in the heat of the moment. "Would you be lying to me if you said you didn't like it?" He replied, walking over to me. I kept my mouth shut. ~ ~ ~ Most confusing Love V/ triangle trope you'll ever find¡¡ Sequels out!¡ !!Inspiration from Nikkireadw!!Complete
