A LOVE SONG UNSUNG
He was 23, and she was 18. They stood together in the registry office, ready to sign the papers that would officially make them husband and wife. It was a secret marriage-only his friend and his girlfriend knew about it. He signed first, then handed her the pen with a smile, but her heart raced as doubt and insecurity clouded her thoughts. Was this the right decision? What if his father found out about the marriage? Would his family accept an orphan and a maid like her as a daughter-in-law? What if, after fulfilling his desires, he grew tired of her and abandoned her? She had no one to stand up for her, no one to turn to if things went wrong. Was it true love, or was he simply lusting after her? Why would a billionaire's son want her? He could have anyone-maybe even a movie star-but he chose her. Why? Despite her fears, her love for him was genuine. Slowly, she lifted her gaze to meet his, her insecurities weighing heavy on her heart. He took her hand in his, offering a gentle squeeze, then motioned for her to sign the papers. With a quiet nod, she did. His friends clapped and congratulated the couple, each one signing as a witness on the papers. Now, legally, they were husband and wife. But to the outside world, she was nothing more than a maid in his house.![~How It All Began~ [HIAB Book1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/59992026-256-k811435.jpg)

THE WORST ZOMBIE STORY YOU WILL EVER READ
this story was written by three middle school girls. these girls are not friends any more. there is tea on that but its none of your business. the story follows the three main characters and their group through the beginning of the zombie apocalypse. this story is being rewritten (January 2020) by two of the original writers. the other one doesn't do this anymore and this story is great leverage and black mail material against her. this story was written at least 2 years previously in 2018, possibly 2017. It is not completed we just refuse to write about it any more. it was taken down for a while because "Lilly" got embarrassed some of her class mates where looking for it which I think is ridiculous. its cringe and you were rude when you wrote it, I'm putting it back up so they have something against you bitch. - Kennie (that got a little personal, sorry) - Kayla !!!READ AT YOUR OWN RISK OF YOUR BRAIN CELLS!!!Complete

He let out a relieved laugh and pulled her into his chest again. "What a relief. I was worried it was just me." He nuzzled her temple, inhaling deeply, his dragon fully at peace.
