Perfect Fate ✔ (Moved To Inkitt)
Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book.

ECHOES OF THE LAST BEAT
Krys and Ava are pop stars, famous for their amazing performances and undeniable chemistry. What no one knows, though, is that they once shared a secret love-a love that burned bright until it was consumed by the pressures of fame. Their relationship ended in heartbreak, and now, they can barely stand to be in the same room. But when they're chosen to be the lead couple for the biggest concert of their careers, "Stars Align," they have no choice but to work together again. As they rehearse for the performance, the old tension and unspoken feelings come rushing back. They fight, they argue, but the connection between them can't be ignored. However, Ava is hiding a secret, something far more dangerous than their past fights. She's facing a battle that could change everything-one that no one, not even Krys, knows about. As they come closer to the big night, the line between love and anger begins to blur. The closer they get to the performance, the more they realize that sometimes, the stage isn't the hardest place to perform-it's in the heart. But some songs can only be sung once. Krys, frustrated during rehearsal: "Why can't you just let go of the past, Ava? We're not the same people anymore." Ava, looking him straight in the eye, with a quiet but intense voice: "Maybe we're not the same... but there's one thing I know for sure-this moment, this dance... it's still ours."Complete

Trapped In Love ✓
"C- Can you move b- back a little?" My words made him smirk and if it's even possible, he came closer. Why do I always have to stuck between him and the desk?! "Why? Am I making you nervous?" "No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips. My lips parted accordingly in shock. "Oh, is it?" He said, mockingly. Oh god! What have I gotten myself into? •••• Aaron Steele, the CEO of the multi billionaire Steele's Company was the eligible bachelor of 25. He always had his way among girls and having blue eyes, a chiseled jaw and a hot body, didn't help either. With new woman on her arms every other day, he was obviously not planning on falling on that cliché word also called love, but would his thoughts of not falling in love still remain the same, after meeting her? Sienna Collins was a girl of 22 with extremely shy personality. After completing her graduation, the only thing in her mind was to get a good job and settle on her own, but what she didn't expected was a job at Steele's Company. This is a story of the innocent and the sinful. Read inside to find out what happens when two persons from exactly opposite worlds collide together. #I would suggest 14+ to read this story as some part in the book contains mature scenes. ~ # 37 in Romance #12 in humor *I am not a grammer nazzy, so there would be grammatical mistakes.*Complete
