22 parts Complete Mature
"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023

We are moving and I didn't knew about it until now.... "You all are coming with us too. Sophie got enrolled in Architecture and Designing college of Los Angeles and Liam will finish his school there." She lays out her plan and no one thought what I would do if I leave everything behind here and I am not included here again. "Ok so everything is already planned. Sophie got enrolled in the college already, dad has set his business and I get to know this now." I laugh humorlessly pushing away my plate . "what about me mom? Dad?" I look at them for an answer. "What about my life here? My career? My plans about life here? You didn't thought to tell me before taking decision on my behalf?" "I never had a courage to ask before but, why do you both hate me so much? What have I done to always get your hatred?" I ask as the tears threaten my eyes but I won't allow them to leave my eyes. Ivy has craved for love and attention her entire life and Tyler comes into her life and sweeps her off her feet. He fills her life with all the happiness and love she deserves. She is a shy, innocent and a nerd. He is the most handsome boy of the college whom everyone knows. She likes to read books and doesn't like to be noticed. He is a photographer and loves adventure. They are polar opposites but fate brings them together. Most of the people she had close to her heart left her and Tyler is the only one she has left. Will he stay? How will she deal with the losses she has faced? ------------------------------------------- #1 - bakery (28/07/2022) Started on- September 25 , 2020

Emily is just your average twenty something living life. She manages a cupcake bakery, has good friends, fosters animals from the pound and just when she is certain she is on the right path, a chance meeting with a handsome stranger has her doubting everything she knows. Jackson was raised with a drive to succeed and somewhere along the way he forgot there was more to life than just working. After meeting Emily he knows she is special and the one person he needs to have in his life but there is also the issue of her fiancé and the fact, they seem happily in love. With their mutual attraction only growing along with their friendship, could this be fate at work or a mistake in the making? Either way, Jackson wants his girl.
