this is a story about a girls life with abusive parents that abuse her mentally and sometimes slap her, and also gets talked behind her back at school. Her friends also are quite fake and not really friend material with one being really toxic. this is based on off my life but without the romance that happens...cuz I can't pull no one.. Velithra has mastered the art of disappearing. School hallways, suffocating friendships, whispered gossip — she drifts through it all like a shadow, unseen and untouched. It’s easier that way. Safer. Until Kai arrives. Cold-eyed, sharp-voiced, and carrying a darkness he refuses to speak of, Kai isn’t the kind of boy people get close to. But the first time he looks at Velithra, it’s as if he sees straight through her silence — past the masks, past the walls, to the bruised pieces she buries inside. He shouldn’t notice her. She shouldn’t care. Yet their lives begin to bend toward each other: small moments, quiet glances, stolen breaths, a rooftop confession neither of them expected. As rumors swirl, past wounds resurface, and feelings grow too real to ignore, Velithra and Kai must face the truth they’ve spent years avoiding: Sometimes the person who sees you the most is the one you’re most afraid to let in. Tender, raw, and achingly human, LIFE is a slow-burn romance about two broken teenagers learning love, trust, and the terrifying relief of finally being understood. each ch should be 300-500 words as these and this is a short story but the length of the story can change as a writer has many ideas that fill their head every time they write!!

Billion Dollar Regrets: 21 Nights of Payback

THE WOMAN HE DESTROYED IS BACK—AND SHE'S BRINGING HIM TO HIS KNEES Three years ago, Aria Kane was a naive businesswoman who fell hard for billionaire Damien Cross. Their chemistry was explosive. Their passion was all-consuming. She thought she'd found her soulmate. She was wrong. Damien seduced her for one reason: to steal her family's proprietary business intelligence. He used her love as a weapon, extracted every secret, and then discarded her like trash. Within months, her father's company was bankrupt. Her father took his own life. Aria lost everything—her family, her home, her future. She spent three years barely surviving, doing whatever it took to stay alive, burning with a rage that never dimmed. Now, everything has changed. Aria's estranged grandfather—a corporate titan she never knew—has died and left her his billion-dollar empire. Overnight, she transforms from powerless victim to one of the most powerful CEOs in the country. And she has one target in her sights: Damien Cross. While she was clawing her way up, Damien's empire has been crumbling. Bad deals. Betrayed alliances. A loveless engagement to a manipulative socialite. Unknown to him, Aria has been systematically destroying his business from the shadows. Now he's desperate, vulnerable, and backed into a corner. That's when Aria makes her move. She summons him to her office with an offer he can't refuse: She has evidence of all his illegal dealings—insider trading, corporate espionage, fraud. One phone call to the authorities and he's finished. His company collapses. His freedom disappears. Everything he built turns to ash. Unless he agrees to her terms. 21 nights. Complete submission. No limits. No safe words. No mercy. For 21 nights, Damien must surrender himself completely to Aria's control. She'll decide what happens, where it happens, and how far it goes. She'll strip away his power, his pride, and every defense he's ever built. He'll do whatever she commands—in the boardroom and the bedroom. Humiliation. Submission. Pleasure denied. Control surrendered. In exchange, she'll save his company and destroy the evidence against him. But revenge is never simple. As the nights progress, the power dynamic shifts in unexpected ways. Damien reveals he was trapped by his own cruel father, forced to betray Aria or watch his mother die. Aria discovers that surviving her trauma left scars that still bleed. The chemistry between them—the explosive, undeniable passion—never died. Someone is watching them. Dangerous enemies from Damien's past emerge. His father will kill to maintain control. His vindictive fiancée will destroy them both. And Aria's grandfather's death may not have been natural. As corporate warfare escalates into actual danger, Aria and Damien must navigate a minefield of trust issues, explosive secrets, and feelings neither wanted to face. She's supposed to hate him. He's supposed to grovel. Neither expected to fall in love—again. The 21-night countdown is ticking. Boundaries will be shattered. Secrets will explode. And by the final night, everything will change. Because the opposite of love isn't hate—it's indifference. And what burns between Aria and Damien is anything but indifferent.
