"I don't believe you." Noah said.
I don't believe myself either. I thought.
"Well, you should because I'm not lying. You thought I felt something for you. But, you were wrong. I feel nothing for you" I said with a monotone voice pretending to be brave.
But I was dreadful of his next words.
"If that is how you truly feel than I am sorry for barging into your life and thinking you ever cared about me. Have a good life. And good-bye, Gabriella." He said, his voice breaking. No longer calling me 'Ella' but instead Gabriella. I saw his jaw clenching under the moonlight. I hated myself for doing this to him but there was nothing else I could do.
The wind blew along with the rain and I shivered.
"Bye, Noah." I said.
This was the end of us.

The Harmony Effect |Book I|
"You're shaking. So, how can you say I have no effect on you?" *** Brought up in a life of crime by his Father, 28-year-old Noah Rite dominates the streets of New York as a legendary man who demands control and doesn't settle for failure. Known to all as "The Grim Reaper", and unforgivingly brutal to his enemies, his only savior comes by Bobbi Potter, his best friend and secret captor of his heart and soul whom he'd die to protect. For 26-year-old Bobbi, as someone who's lived in a tough and abandoned world of her own, running into Noah was nothing short of kismet. Trusting her life to the man she's known for nearly 20 years, Bobbi's been by his side through the gates of Hell and back without question. And even when she fell for another named Elijah, the love and admiration for each other never seized. As time passed, Noah finally finds himself ready to leave the world of blood and fear behind for a better life as a boring mechanic, however, after an unexpected discovery reveals the ugly truth about Bobbi's fiancé, Noah's unhinged intentions result in more harm than healing and only a lie can pick up the shattered pieces - Catapulting him back into the everlasting throes of chaos for an unforeseen time. One year later, and with Bobbi deep in Noah's domain of infamy, the chance to escape the struggles of a deadly future reveals itself once more when demons and other closeted skeletons resurface and begin to manifest in unpredictable ways. And like a vicious cycle, their friendship will be forced to withstand the disarray of backstabbing past mistakes while exploring the depths of their soulful bond. But with Noah blinded by his festering desires, only carnage and bloodshed will follow his refusal to let them crumble. All in the name of love? So be it. © 2019-2025 Maxine ScytheComplete
Chances Of Truth ☑️
"It's too much to remember everything and everyone, all pain and hurt is killing me day by day little by little. I wish I could remove all the pain and move on in my life. I wish I could find an eraser or Better a delete button, so that I could start from beginning, without any misery or pain." ......................................................................................... "Hey Eva, you know you can trust me, right? " He asked me again cupping my cheeks, I can't let him continue this. It had to stop now or it would be too late. I can't risk everyone's life specially his. If hurting him means, him being alive then I would do it without thinking. Again and again. "Eva are you even listening to me?" Noah asked moving his face closer. From this close I can even see the scar which he told me about, its just below the border line of his hair, it can be easily conceal but from this close its more real. His eyes, they are magical. I would love to look at them all the time and never get tired of looking at in them. No, I cannot do this to him, I can't be selfish, I have to do something this time. "No" I answer and walked away from him. .............................................................Complete
Unveiled
I started pushing Noah's arms away from me. "Ma..... May I have a word with you" I said to Noah walking out of the kitchen without waiting for his reply. I walked at the corner of the living room and waited for Noah to come. He came after a few seconds and stood in front of me. The first thing I did was check his temperature with my hand. I am glad he didn't move back to my touch. Instead he was analyzing me. "Are you alright" I asked. He looked at me in confusion. "I am fine. Why?" He asked. "Did you hit your head somewhere" I asked. "No" he said. "Then why aren't you afraid of women. You used to always avoid talking to them or being near them. But today, you.... you are talking to me an........and touching me. That isn't normal........." I stopped speaking when he again started walking towards me. Instantly my feet started moving back. I stopped walking when I felt the wall hit my back. He stood in front of me keeping his hand against my head, bending down to my level looking into my eyes. "What isn't normal" he asked. My eyes flicked to his lips for a second which looked soft. "You.......You are speaking with me. You al.... always ignore me" I said. ****************** Alena Lincoln, the invisible twin. Wanting for love, wanting to achieve her dreams.

Tear In My Heart ✔️
"Noah, I won't do it unless you ask me to," he whispered, his voice seductively low. "What?" I asked almost breathless. "Kiss you," he murmured. "And God, there are no words for how badly I want to." **** Noah was your all American boy. Captain of his soccer team, extremely good-looking, having other boys want to be him and girls want to be with him, but there's one problem. He doesn't chase after the captain of the cheerleading squad or the girls who spread their legs open for whoever asks. In fact, he doesn't go for any girl. Instead, he hates himself when his eyes linger on a guy that his brain and heart say is cute. He's gay, and he's having a hard time accepting himself for it. It doesn't help when he wakes up almost naked in another guy's house, let alone in another guy's bed. And to make matters worse, he can't help but fall for the outspoken and extremely attractive Madison who he'd drunkenly went home with and tried to screw. Finally, to add the cherry on top of the crap-tastic cake, Noah is forced to work with Madison for at least six months, or he'll lose his beloved soccer. Nothing could go wrong, right? Throw in a bit of awkwardness mixed with a few close calls and you've got a recipe for disaster....and a tiny tear in Noah's heavily protected heart. © 2018 *endless thanks and love to @half_a_hetero for helping me with the Italian in this book.

Not the best friend who became her first kiss... her first love... her everything. But when he moved across the world, he left her with nothing but a broken promise and a gold star necklace she still wears like a scar. She swore she'd wait. He swore they'd find each other again. But two weeks after he came back, he was holding another girl's hand. Now it's war. And Lisa's done playing soft. Noah thought leaving Lisa behind would protect them both. He didn't expect to fall apart without her. Neither did he expect to learn the truth-something so brutal it made him question every moment they'd ever shared and see her as a stranger in the skin of the girl he once loved. And he definitely didn't expect to fall into someone else's arms trying to forget the taste of her lips. But Lisa's not the shy girl he left behind. She's colder now. Hotter, too. And every time he looks at her like he hates her, he wants to grab her and make her remember everything. This isn't just a breakup. It's unfinished business. First love never dies. But it might just destroy them both.

You Can't Love Him
"Look Noah. I'm sorry-" "You have nothing to be sorry for." He cuts me off. I let out of a breath. I felt a bit relieved. "So are we back to-" "Look we shouldn't hang out anymore." His words instantly make my stomach drop. "Why? I don't understand," I step closer to him. I had the urge to grab a hold of his arms that were crossed over his chest and unfold them. "I thought we were friends and I thought there was something there." His eyes narrow at me words and he takes a step back from me. "I don't want to be your friend or anything else for that matter. Goodbye Em." With that he leaves, leaving me by myself and heartbroken.Complete
