With Love, from Cappadocia ❤️
[Completed] Bea, a young artist on the wrong side of 25, has to follow the letter. Her dead mother's last wishes. It would be horrible not to. Her best friend Nicole is the keeper of the letter. With a firm hand and a sassy attitude, Nicole ensures that Bea follows the letter. To leave the safety of her father's Florida home to fly to England. To accept an art award she doesn't feel she deserves. But first Bea is sent on a small detour. Peter, a well tempered Englishman, is far from home. He's disappointed his father. Again. Business tycoons rarely take it well when deals fall through. His best mate Dean spurs him on to do something. Go anywhere but home for a real holiday. Not one dictated to him by his family's expectations. Two dissimilar people are tossed together. Where strangers tend to meet. An airport. Both headed to Cappadocia. An ancient land filled with mysterious wonder and hot air balloons. Be it fate, destiny, kismet, or Providence...Bea and Peter continue to bump into one another. One on an adventure she didn't choose. Another fighting against a life he doesn't quite fit. These two lonely people are brought closer, the pressures from home forgotten as this tease of something beautiful starts. Then reality slams down quite brutally, breaking the two apart. Separated by an ocean, Bea and Peter are both confronted by their feelings. Will Bea take a stand and make her own choices? Will Peter fight to be his own person and go after what he wants? *** (This is my first venture into the world of a novella length story.

THE MYSTERY DREAMER
[# 88 in TEEN FICTION on 14/3/18.] [#5 in angerissues on 10/05/2018] COMPLETED!!! No matter where you come from, your dreams are always valid. RULE 1: Never let anyone under estimate the power of your dreams. RULE 2: Always follow rule one. These were the only principles little Ria lived by. Her devoting and protective nature always came out as harsh and bitch-y. Everytime she felt threatened, her claws came out, ready to defend...to destroy. It's only you who knows the value of your dreams. So, what will she do when her exterminator walks into her life, ready to ruin everything she lives for. She fight's. A fight between two souls. ________________________________ "Who do you think you are?" she asked, bravery seeping through every syllable leaving her mouth. A devil carves fear, and when you don't give him that, he is agitated. "Your nightmare baby." he smirked as he leaned closer to her. They say never look into his eyes...he is evil. Don't cross paths with him...he is unforgiving. Never challenge him...he is destructive. But what did she do??? Every damn thing she wasn't supposed to! Add a punch to the already shaky equation and you'll find yourself amidst drama...teenage drama. Is it right to let these two souls collide? "I am not your damn servant whom you order around, get that straight through your thick skull!" with that she walked away like a pro if I may say so...leaving him staring at the place where she previously stood. When an ego is hurt, revenge is born. "Come on guys. . .we need to sort out some things," all his friends could do was watch; watch helplessly, as destruction planted it's ugly claws into their lives. A tale of destruction, misery, loyalty, friendship, trust and betrayal. "If you call yourself a dreamer, I call myself a dream-snatcher. You won't even know what hit you, little girl," he thought, as he smirked wickedly at her retreating figure. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Has mild cursing be warned!Complete

Live and Learn to Love || Jelsa Fanfiction
Live and Learn to Love - A Jelsa Fanfiction ----/----/----/---- Another cliche story about the populars and the nerds. But this one doesn't have the bitch cliche where the popular guy broke up with her and she's desperate to get him again. And it's definitely not that antisocial nerd cliche. It's getting tiring to hear that the only friend the nerd will have are the populars then get hated by that. Elsa (The so-called nerd) are friends with Jack (the popular guy) but they're not that close, just close enough to actually talk to each other. Jack is not the snob type of guy like most populars, that's why he's popular (also adding the fact that he's good-looking). Elsa develops a small admiration to Jack, or what you would call a crush, because of his personality. Jack's not her first love though, so how will this popular guy and nerd cliche happen? Simple, he'll fall first. ....................................... WARNING : SOME CHAPTERS MAY CONTAIN INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE SO IF YOU DON'T LIKE THOSE STUFFS THIS STORY IS NOT FOR YOU. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. ----/----/----/---- Other works by Anneti-Social: →The New Girl (Jelsa) →My Ride Back Home (Jelsa) →Just Destiny Playing (One-shots book) →Devious Nature (Reverse Falls) →Wooden Castle (Jelsa) →Student Council (Jelsa)Complete
