Mi Ran isn't oblivious to Hussein's good looks and great personality, but neither to their culture differences.
"Don't date someone who isn't Korean, moving to Canada doesn't mean date like in Canada." was her family's golden rule.
Having her family's eyes on every life decision, her love life is far from being the easiest one.
Get into Mi Ran's shoes and follow her steps in order to feel her happiness and sadness, her successes and hardships while learning how to fight for love.

In Another Life
Amlyne had been fighting the feelings she felt for Jeffrey Alan or Jeff for 10 years. They met when she was 11 and he was 14. He had moved from Vermont to South Carolina. He was a chubby boy who wanted nothing more than to race cars. She was a be-speckled, mousy 11 year old who just tried to stay out of the way of bullies. The day they met something happened. They became as close as brother and sister. They ran and played, climbed trees, worked on cars, and read Race Car magazines. She looked up to him as the brother she never had. She taught him how to be a redneck Southerner and he taught her how to take care of herself. As time went by the feelings of friendship became more. For a while, it was difficult to be friends. JP got a little too into the Redneck life. He let people lead him down a dark path that Amlyne could not help him out of, or so she thought. He ran with a rough crowd that scared Amlyne.

WE WERE DESTINED
" I don't even like you like that." Her face scrunched up in disgust watching water drip from curls in his hair. " 'Cause you love me. Just like I love you." He retorted with a grin, disregarding the deflecting she was doing. --- They were two sides of the same city-until one move split them down the middle. Elijah and London were inseparable once, bonded by childhood summers, beat-up bikes, and secrets too deep for anyone else to know. Unfortunately, when Elijah's mom packed up and moved her family across Onyx to a rival neighborhood, everything changed. She always thought when she spoke to him again he would've changed like her. She was witty, sarcastic, and had a low tolerance, but he was still the same calm , sweet, cute boy with a heart the size of the sun. Some things haven't changed. Some things never change. The pull between them, the memories that still burn etched marks in their brain, and the words they never said out loud.

We Who Break
Everyone she loves has made the same decision. They just haven't told each other yet. The lies are spent. The performances are over. The enemy that was a rumor is at the gates, and the only people who can stop it are the four who are quietly planning to destroy one another to do it. One of them will write a thousand names into clay and call it mercy. One of them will walk into a child's room with a blade and a reason that works. One of them will offer up the thing that cannot be replaced. And one of them already knows how this ends, and is doing it anyway. There is a night coming when the oaths go silent, and anything can be unmade. Three clocks are ticking toward it. None of them are coincidence. Love won't save them. Being right won't save them. The math is clean, and the math is monstrous, and someone they love is the price. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘞𝘢𝘳𝘴 --- 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘛𝘸𝘰. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘦𝘯𝘥. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘴. 𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘣𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦.
My biggest mistake
Elia was 17 when her mom, Zenolia (Z•No•LiA) thought it was about time to get back on the dating scene and she soon found Rodger a business man. They decided to take things slow and not rush into things. Soooo Fast forward a year and Elia is now 18 and fresh out of high school. She is a brown skinned girl. She isn't small or petite, shes 5'8, big brown eyes, almost always wearing braids, curvy, big boobs, and a big butt (not like really big but it fits her frame perfectly). She's never dated anyone not because she doesn't want to... just because she was always moving until freshman year when her mom retired, and the guys she liked didn't seem to like her. But for some reason after graduation her luck changes. What happens when she finally meets Rodger and his very sexy son Xander? Is she ready for all these feelings she feels, so fast? When Xander was younger his mother was an abusive drunk and she beat him mentally and physically. When he was 10 his father got full custody. When Zander was 13 he started to have terrible fits of anger and was put on meds because of it. Xander is now 21 and heir to his dad's company. He has grown calmer over the year's. But what happens when a different fire is lit in him? One of passion and love, but the source of it all was someone he could not have.Complete
