So yes-another royal novel on Wattpad. But not that kind. The male lead is a king, but there's no mafia nonsense here. He's not going to shoot every man who looks at his wife. He understands that a woman can have male friends, that a handshake isn't a threat, and that not every man who speaks to the female lead is evil. Mostly because he knows something very important. She doesn't need saving. She is more than capable of breaking bones if someone touches her inappropriately, poking eyes if someone looks at her the wrong way, and knocking out teeth if someone dares to disrespect her. The female lead is not your typical Sati-Savitri, Sarvagun-Sampann heroine. Okay-she is. But she's also a bad bitch. A modern woman with ambition, power, and dreams bigger than palaces. The characters in this story are kaleshi, not toxic. And yes-there is a difference. There may not be clear villains here. And even if there are, remember this: Every villain is a victim of something too. This is a story of royalty without glorifying control. Power without erasing softness. An arranged marriage that turns into love-slowly, painfully, beautifully. Desi. Royal. Emotional. And unapologetically different. --- 𝕿𝖗𝖔𝖕𝖊𝖘 | ʀᴏyᴀʟ ᴋɪɴɢ x ʀᴏyᴀʟ ᴩʀɪɴᴄᴇꜱꜱ | ᴄᴇᴏ/ᴋɪɴɢ ᴏꜰ ᴜᴅᴀɪᴩᴜʀ x ᴄᴇᴏ/ᴩʀɪɴᴄᴇꜱꜱ ᴏꜰ ᴊᴀɪᴩᴜʀ/ᴡᴀᴛᴛᴩᴀᴅ ᴀᴜᴛʜᴏʀ | ᴋᴀʟᴇꜱʜɪ ᴍʟ x ꜱᴀꜱꜱy ꜰʟ | ᴄᴀʟᴍ x ᴄʜᴀᴏꜱ | ꜱɪꜱᴛᴇʀ'ꜱ ᴍᴇɴᴛᴏʀ x ꜱᴛᴜᴅᴇɴᴛ'ꜱ ʙʀᴏᴛʜᴇʀ | ʀɪᴠᴀʟ'ꜱ ꜱɪꜱᴛᴇʀ x ʙʀᴏᴛʜᴇʀ'ꜱ ʀɪᴠᴀʟ | ᴅᴇꜱɪ x ᴅᴇꜱi | ʜᴇ ꜰᴇʟʟ ꜰɪʀꜱᴛ ᴀɴᴅ ʙᴏᴛʜ ꜰᴀʟʟ ʜᴀʀᴅᴇꜱᴛ | ᴀʀʀᴀɴɢᴇ ᴍᴀʀʀɪᴀɢᴇ | ʟᴏᴠᴇ ᴀꜰᴛᴇʀ ᴇɴɢᴀɢᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ ʙᴇꜰᴏʀᴇ ᴍᴀʀʀɪᴀɢᴇ | ꜱʟᴏᴡ ʙᴜʀɴ | ꜱᴇᴄʀᴇᴛ ᴄʀᴜꜱʜ #3 on

Camilla Wells gets along with almost everyone. She and her sister Hannah both work at Malone's, where they're known for keeping things running smoothly and making even the busiest shifts feel manageable. Her sister Hannah and Allie Hayes are her best friends . Beau Maxwell is one of her closest friends. She's smart, sarcastic, and always has a comeback ready before anyone else can think of one. Everyone loves Camilla. Well... almost everyone. Dean Di Laurentis can't stand her. Maybe it's because she never hesitates to call him out when he's wrong. Maybe it's because she knows more about hockey than he expected a figure skater to know. Or maybe it's because every time she corrects one of his plays, the entire team laughs while Dean wonders how someone so infuriating can get under his skin so easily. The feeling is mutual. At least, that's what Camilla keeps telling herself. Between early-morning practices, late-night playlists, and an unhealthy obsession with Sabrina Carpenter songs, Camilla has mastered the art of pretending everything is fine. Because nobody knows the truth. Not Hannah. Not Allie. Not her friends. Not even Dean. Nobody knows that behind every smile is a girl who's slowly falling apart. A girl carrying a pain she's never spoken about. A girl who hurts herself just to feel something when the world goes numb. Dean Di Laurentis is the last person she should let close. He's arrogant, frustrating, and completely off limits. But the more they clash, the harder it becomes to ignore the sparks. And when the walls Camilla has spent years building begin to crack, Dean might be the only person capable of seeing what's really hiding beneath them. The problem? Some secrets are dangerous. And some people become impossible not to love. I only own Camilla, her storyline and any other OC I make. (This doesn't follow the tv show or the books because this is Camilla's story)

Some souls find each other across lifetimes. And sometimes... The greatest act of love is choosing someone-even when fate has already made the choice for you. A slow-burn supernatural romance filled with mystery, grief, destiny, and second chances.

Okay so my other stories are more serious, and I got bored of that, so here I am!

These are the quotes that touched my heart. The quotes which made me fall in love and made me realize the beauty of words. And I hope now, you enjoy them too. Happy reading!

Meghna only meant to learn French. Instead, she met Ayan Banerjee, a quiet physics student who liked cameras, books, and disappearing whenever the weather looked interesting. Years, cities, and one continent later, a follow request brings them back into each other's lives. Which would be fine. Except apparently, the universe has a sense of humour. And Meghna has never been particularly good at recognising when something is a bad idea. Some stories begin with love. Theirs begins with "Wassup, Senpai?"

Flowers are a symbol of innocence, purity. Until they're deadly. Thirty years ago, the rebels won the war. President Coin had come near death after being shot with an arrow, but after recovering, she turned the tables and announced the first annual Capitol hunger games. While the districts thrived, Imogen Herring was stuck taking care of her old parents. And all she had to do, was survive. Even if it meant sacrificing her own morals.

She believes in facts. He believes in stories. Thea is a young woman who finds comfort in the certainty of science and the quiet refuge of books. Aron is a baker with flour on his hands, poetry in his heart, and a peculiar way of finding beauty in the most ordinary things. They meet one winter evening in a library. She calls him the Man of Poetry. He calls her the Lady of Science. What begins as a chance encounter slowly becomes something neither of them knows how to name. Between warm bread, quiet conversations, and moments that linger a little longer than they should, two people from completely different worlds begin writing a story of their own. But some stories are not meant to be understood right away. And when something-or someone-changes the pages they thought they had written together, Thea is left with a question she never thought she would have to ask: Was their story ever meant to have an ending? Perhaps the answers have been waiting between the pages all along.

Ela saiu de Veneza com uma mala e a certeza tranquila de que finalmente estava livre. Não estava. No verão em que Anna fez dezoito anos, ela conheceu Ethan - charmoso, mais velho, o tipo de homem que faz você se sentir a pessoa mais interessante de qualquer ambiente. Ela não reconheceu os sinais. Ela ainda não sabia que calor e posse podem usar a mesma cara. Ela terminou. Ela foi embora. Bloqueou o número dele e disse a si mesma que aquela era a última página da história. Mas tem gente que não deixa você escrever o próprio final. Quando Anna chega em Gynopolis pra começar a faculdade, Ethan já tá em pé na frente da sala de aula dela. E nada naquilo é coincidência. Medre, Garota é um thriller psicológico de queima lenta sobre controle coercitivo, a coragem que dá pra ir embora, e o que acontece quando a pessoa de quem você fugiu te encontra mesmo assim. É também a história de dois rapazes - um que nunca vai mudar, e um que talvez possa - e de uma garota aprendendo a diferença antes que seja tarde demais. Algumas histórias não terminam quando a porta se fecha. Essa tá só começando. Copyright © 2026 Juliana Resende. Todos os direitos reservados.
