WATTYS WINNER 

When her fiancé ends up in a coma and his secret mistress, Halley, shows up, Mary feels like her world is falling apart. What she doesn't realize is she's actually falling in love...with Halley.

*****                                                                           

Eight years after a traumatizing accident that killed one of her loved ones, Mary Kincaid is about to marry her childhood sweetheart when the universe yanks the rug out from under her yet again, leaving her fiancé badly injured and in a coma. Of course this is when his secret mistress shows up, a beautiful person whom Mary should by all rights hate - so why does she find herself inviting her to stay in the spare bedroom? She soon learns that sometimes the person you're looking for comes when you're not looking at all.

"You can fall in love again, Billie. I don't mind. I want you happy." She lifts my chin so our eyes meet. "I don't wanna fall in love again," I whisper, my voice shaking. "Why?" she breathes, eyes searching mine. I stay quiet for a moment. Then finally, softly: "Because you still love me," I say. "And I see it, B. Don't deny it." I take her hands gently. She drops her gaze, and a tear falls straight onto my fingers. "Just admit you still love me," I whisper again. "Billie... this isn't about me. It's about you. I want you to move on and let someone love you." "No," I whisper. She shakes her head quickly. "I don't deserve you." "Why? 'Cause I'm famous?" I ask. She lets out a shaky laugh. "I've dated the famous you." "'Cause I'm weak?" I ask again. She grabs my hand tighter, pulling it onto her lap. "Hey, no... you-" She stops, breathing hard, eyes locked on mine. "I'm just... I'm fucked up, Billie. You have no idea." Her voice cracks. "I'm a bad person. I killed. I robbed. I betrayed you-" "You never betrayed me," I cut her off immediately. She shakes her head like she can't even hear me. "I wouldn't want someone I love to date someone like me. I'm scary." "I'm scary," she repeats, quieter... like she's confessing something poisonous. Like she's warning me. Like she honestly thinks I should run. But I don't move. I don't even blink. "Then why," I whisper, leaning in just slightly, "why do I feel safer with you than with anyone else?" --- *********** a/n: Hey y'all - English isn't my first language, so sorry in advance for any grammar mistakes. This is my first 🏳️‍🌈 novel, and yeah... this is pure fiction, so don't take anything too seriously. Okay okay okay... let's get our asses wet

Space Between Our Silences

15 parts Ongoing Mature

Zee just wanted to survive high school quietly - no drama, no attention. But fate had other plans in the form of Essen, the notorious campus bully who seemed to have made it her life's mission to ruin Zee's peace. What everyone didn't know was that Essen's teasing wasn't fueled by hate, but by something she couldn't admit - not even to herself. Between playful jabs, stolen glances, and a growing ache she couldn't shake off, Essen starts realizing that maybe she isn't trying to break Zee... maybe she's already falling for her. Meanwhile, Zee battles the confusion of hating the one person her heart seems to soften for. A story of chaos, affection, and everything that blurs the line between love and hate - "Essen & Zee" proves that sometimes, the loudest kind of love starts with a shove. ⸻ 📓 Author's Note (2025): Hey there! 💌 Thank you for checking out Space Between Our Silences. I'll be uploading new chapters every Wednesday and Saturday, just enough to keep you guessing, screaming, and maybe even falling in love with these two the same way I did. Also, I want to give special credit to my partner, most of the story came from her dreams, ideas, and her own beautiful mind. She's the biggest reason this story keeps going. I'm just the one typing it all down and shaping it into words, but the heart of this story? It's hers. My Aji💫 Stay tuned, stay thrilled. 🌙✨
