Once upon a time, yeah, no. This isn't a fairytale. There's no glittering castle, no prince charming, and definitely no happily ever after waiting on a silver platter.
My name is Blythe Rosalise Maxwell, and I'm just a 21-year-old girl trying to keep my life from crumbling faster than one of my failed cupcakes. Between long shifts at Vale's Bakery, late-night study sessions, and a GPA that's barely hanging on, "ordinary" might actually be an overstatement.
But I do have one dream, to become a world-renowned pâtissière. A chef whose desserts are remembered long after the last bite. Simple enough, right? Except life has a habit of throwing flour in my face, literally and metaphorically.
This isn't a story about perfection. It's about ambition, mistakes, second chances, and the courage to rise when everything falls apart.
Let's see how this year plays out. Who knows, by next year, I might be working at Vale's full time, studying full time, or still juggling both while trying not to burn the kitchen down. Let's hope for a miracle, one that lets me study full time and finally chase the dream I've been kneading together all along.
So no, this isn't a fairytale.
It's something far more real.

There is an unexpected turn in the story that drastically changes the course of events and, in the long run, even the lives of those involved. Magpie, the first to be involved, suddenly finds himself in the world so unlike his own. Will he find his place there or will he be at least able to go back home? He seems to find his way back from this new world of giga-dimensions but something unwanted happens, and things go worse. The cultural differences, together with a challenging personality traits of another involved in the events, suck Magpie and his friends into a downward spiral. The story challenges you to see the world differently from the perspective you are perhaps too used to and narrowed by. Life can be an adventure if you don't narrow it with a bigotry that forces you to be rooted in your trenches and behind your dividing walls. This doesn't mean you have to accept others' views without standing your ground. However, to be able to share our lives in this one and only world we need to make compromises, on both sides. Are you the first brave one to set this positive trend in motion? So read on and let the foundation of the story be laid. From the end of episode 1 on, the story really picks up, finally reaching its climax at the end of episode 3 with quite a surprising finish. Your participation in solving this shared challenge of coexistence and cooperation is highly appreciated. Remember those who cooperate make more progress than those who don't! The ideal audience for my first book is actually between 12 and 16, but anybody older and interested in adventures, cultures and in getting more understanding into our multifaceted world is sure to enjoy the story. (The whole story has now been published, the only thing I'll still add is the final epilogue but the story is already available in its entirety.)

'𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐄𝐅𝐓 𝐀𝐒 𝐏𝐀𝐖𝐍,' '𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐀𝐒 𝐀 𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐄𝐍' 𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐒 I was raised with diamonds in my hair and a knife behind my back. Money was never my problem-people were. They called me porcelain: smooth, flawless, untouchable. But porcelain cracks. And I shattered. After a scandal that my mother buried with hush money and threats, I was shipped off to boarding school like last season's mistake. Now I'm back for senior year at Royal Elite-bored, bitter, and boiling beneath the surface. I'm not the sweet, shiny thing they remember. I'm chaos in couture. And I'm here to burn it all down. My former best friend barely looks me in the eye. My enemies smile with sharpened teeth. And Ronan Astor-golden boy, empire heir, and smug bastard-can't stop poking the bear. He thinks I'm just a spoiled brat with a temper. He doesn't know I've got a list. And he's on it. Let them play their games. I'll play to win. Because bored rich girls don't stay bored for long. We burn the whole damn board. 𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐍 Iris Hawthrone. Red hair, red nails, red flags. She's the girl they write warning labels about-untouchable, unbothered, and completely unpredictable. The last time she was here, she left a mess behind. Now she's back, all sharp stares and silk skirts, like nothing ever touched her. But I know better. She wants vengeance. I want her on her knees-preferably for me. We hate each other. That much is true. But hate has a thin line, and we're both really good at crossing it. She's fire. I'm gasoline. And we're about to make this place burn. Rated mature for violence. And smut scenes (𝑪𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝑹𝒊𝒏𝒂 𝒌𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆 !! 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒊 𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝑰

"My compliments to the chef." ~~~ Twenty-six year-old Kahlia Obisani is the youngest chef to have won the title of Food Doyen in the nation's toughest televised cooking competition. Overseen and judged by the biggest names in the culinary industry around the world, Kahlia became a national sensation when she won the title at the tender age of twenty. With her instant success and prize money, she set up her restaurant, a Michelin star establishment with her leading the helm as head chef. Her winning dish, now her signature dish, is the best selling item on the menu; a sweet dessert with root vegetables as the base ingredients. Thirty year-old Dorian Bankfurth is what most restauranteurs would consider the toughest food critic in the cooking scene. He's built and destroyed restaurants with a single review, putting multitudes of establishments on the map and driving even more into bankruptcy and closed doors. He's cold, judgemental, and cynical, but above all things he's fair. He gives reviews as honestly as he can, and has no problem giving credit where it's due. When his friends take him to award winning Obisani restaurant for his birthday, he's faced with a dish he never thought he'd encounter in his life; a dessert made from root vegetables. The kicker? Dorian hates sweet things. The moment he finally meets the chef behind the meal, both their worlds are rocked in a shocking contrast of sweet and sour. Kahlia's sweet disposition and Dorian's cold glare clash, sparking tension and whispers in those around them. Still, despite his abrasive attitude, Kahlia keeps smiling, infecting the man with a sweetness he hadn't known he was missing, and opening his palate to a whole new world he quickly became addicted to. When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Could he accept the one ingredient his recipe was missing?

Someone's about to get hurt, I just need to make sure it isn't me. Saige Elizabeth Montgomery, glue of her small family, kind to all, a little all over the place sometimes, is caught up in this selection thing where everyone but her thought she would get in. The one who works at the cafe down the street who probably knows your typical order, with big dream's but isn't set up to get them. So basically, an average girl. But she just so happens to be just a bit better than your average girl in some ways, which is going to mess up a few things for her along the way... *** I mean, there is no harm in trying, right? Wrong! I thought I would just try to get in, because well the odds of me being picked for the selection were slim anyways but it made me look like I was trying. But in reality I am just tired of working all the time and entering would cut me a little slack in our ever struggling family and that stupid pile of bills. I told myself I would just "try" to accept the idea of the selection because it would be a good experience for me, but that "try" was a complete flop! Now I have boys surrounding me telling me things I am not quite sure I am ready to hear... or want to for that matter. Why did this all happen to me right now? I am not the one running a selection but it sure feels like it! I want to think that this is all for a reason, I want to think that fate or God has some messed up plan where it needs to take my parents from me and put my siblings and I through this. But right now I don't know what to think. The worst part? I can only have one boy in the end. #1 in bachelorette 5.19.18 [COMPLETE][SLOWLY EDITING][SEQUEL OUT NOW!]

★"What are you up to tomorrow?" He asked. "Tomorrow's winter holiday, so nothing?" "Then be ready tomorrow at early morning, I'll have you from morning till bedtime and maybe till winter holiday is over if your mom doesn't bug us." He said parking the car and we started walking to school. "Really? Hard to believe!" "What is?" "Well, a boy who wears a rolex watch," I said pointing at his right hand. "Who has a big mansion and goes to a different country every spring holiday and has a summer house and is so hot that every girl's dream is to be asked out by him, would rather spend the holiday with me than do anything else in the entire world! What would people say?" I asked looking down at my shoes. Pete said nothing for about half the way. "They fell in love." He said and I looked up at him, he's smiling, I stopped walking and he did too staring right into my eyes, he took a strand of hair and placed it behind my ear. "They'll start asking how, but they'll realize it's not impossible, that love has no conditions, that no wealth matters as long as I'm with you, no rolex watch can replace you, nothing matters but you." ...★ *** Rich hot badboy and the good daughter of an ex actress, not a chance together right? Watch out, because they're challenging the universe by giving it a try, would it work out or does the universe have another plan for them? P.S. I love this story and I hope you do too :)
