Love Misunderstood
I only ever met one man I'd call truly noble. He was a man who was misunderstood and worthy of the world, yet everyone saw him differently. That was until I saw his true colours. The more I caught his eye the more he noticed me. We would pass each other, I would always stare a little longer at his back, wondering his story. People used to move out of the hallways if they saw him approaching whereas people would come and talk to me. He kept to himself, I was never alone, he had no friends, I was friends with everyone, I never saw him talk to anyone I spoke to many. we were polar opposites. At least that's what I thought until that day in the library, that is where I will start this story. Everyone is different, I hate the word "different", I much prefer the word unique. Unique is the only way to describe him. This is not just a story about love, it is about helping two souls who act differently but are the same on the inside, it shows the messy parts that aren't shown in movies, the tragedy, and the comedy but most of all the sizzling romance between two broken people who became one. Who is this story about? Caden James. But this is not just his story, It is ours.Complete

Amariel Smith: The Origin Files
Amariel Smith thought her life was finally hers. New country. New family. New friends. A second chance after years of silence, bruises, and a past she never fully understood. In London, she becomes everything she once wasn't-confident, famous, untouchable. A rising teen model surrounded by power, wealth, and people who swear they'll protect her no matter what. But peace never lasts. When old faces return and accidents begin turning into attacks, Amariel and her closest circle are forced into something far darker than high school drama or family secrets. Because someone is watching them. Someone has always been watching them. And every "accident" was never random. Behind the smiles, friendships, and love stories forming around her, lies something buried deep in her past-something even Amariel doesn't fully remember. As secrets unravel, alliances break, and trust becomes dangerous, Amariel learns one terrifying truth: She was never just a girl trying to survive. She was part of something she was never meant to know about. And when a final message appears- "Welcome back, Amariel. Phase Two begins tomorrow." Everything she thought she escaped comes rushing back. Stronger. Smarter. And closer than ever.Complete
