Lauren Jauregui Fidanzata

Vampires, witches, demons and humans have lived on earth together for countless generations, coexisting with each other. The one thing that humans don’t know, is that these creatures exist in the world. Throughout those centuries vampires, witches and demons have been living separate lives from each other. The reason why is that a group called the congregation has made a law that forbids the creatures from interacting with each other. Not every creature follows the law, but there will be one couple that does. He is a vampire known as Matthew De Clermont, formerly known as Osman Ghazi, Founder of the Ottoman Empire. He was killed fighting for what he believed in and was reborn as a vampire. She is Lauren Anderson. A witch born in the twenty-first century, a reincarnation of an Ottoman witch from the twelfth century born with great and powerful ancient magic. What these two creatures don’t know, is that they are destined to be together by the lunar magic that lives inside our world. There are forces out there that will try and tear them apart. What the world doesn’t know, is that this Lunar vampire and Luna Witch are meant to be together no matter what. One thing for sure is that they will face that challenge together.

Hope Lauren has read her share of comics. She’s seen supers around her city and even been saved by some on occasion. And she always hoped that she’d be able to join them.  With Jack, her grizzled older mentor with secrets that could shake the world, and Pantheon, a new team of heroes, Hope will have to fight against monumental odds to save Oleander City.  In a world of action, comedy, tragedy, and adventure, there’s plenty for a new hero to do. *Readers can expect a mostly adventure-themed superhero journey that will include a slice of life, action, and hopefully exciting world-building. It will also contain a slow-burn GL/Yuri plotline, which I'll eventually get to when I feel like it, I guess. This will be a very long story with many arcs* New chapter every Monday and Friday.

Fourteen was supposed to be an in-between year — too old for dolls, too young for love. But for Cara, it became the year everything changed. When her brother’s best friend, Callum Adler, starts spending more time at their house, Cara notices things most adults ignore. The bruises. The quiet. The way their mother starts folding extra laundry like it’s second nature. Callum's broken home becomes a secret the whole family carries, and Cara — wide-eyed, overlooked, and quietly growing — starts to fall for him in all the ways she shouldn’t. But Callum is four years older. Eighteen. Off-limits. Almost a man. And despite their quiet moments — the almosts, the shared glances, the night she asked to kiss him — he walks away without a goodbye, leaving her in the silence he helped create. Years pass. Cara grows. Builds a life. Finds herself. By eighteen, she’s no longer just Kaden’s little sister. She’s her own person — confident, loved, maybe even happy. But everything tilts when she runs into Callum again at a skating rink. Older, composed, and entirely unexpected. He’s not the same boy who used to sleep on her couch with bruises on his ribs — and she’s not the girl who watched him leave. But unfinished things have a way of circling back. Told in alternating perspectives of Cara and Callum, What We Never Said explores the slow burn of first love, the ache of timing, and what it really means to grow up — and grow apart — before finding your way back.

The garden glowed beneath a canopy of fairy lights, alive with music, laughter, and the soft clinking of glasses. Anna stood in the center of it all, heart full, watching Mark with his friends and feeling Claire’s steady hand in hers. It was a night of celebration—of love, new beginnings, and everything finally falling into place. As the evening unfolded in perfect harmony, an unexpected tension sliced through the joy. Lauren, Mark’s ex, appeared at the edge of the crowd. She moved silently through the party, eyes fixed ahead, until she stepped onto the small stage where Anna stood. And then—she swung her fist toward Anna’s face.

Today is my day of reckoning. Part 1: Defendant: William Lauren “Thank you for attending the trial for the case of William Lauren,” the presiding judge's voice echoed through the silent courtroom. “Today, we will conduct the trial process transparently, fairly, and in accordance with international legal principles.” The court clerk began the proceedings. “I hate this moment. Everyone is staring at me like I'm a monster.” “Who is at fault? Me or him? Who wants to take my place? No one in the world desires it. Yet they judge without mercy, initiating conflict without consent. Whom can I blame? What responsibility must I bear? If only I had never dreamed it…” Several months ago.

"Don't stop". She gasps. "Make me forget everything". One steamy night. No names. Just heat, sweat, and a promise to never cross paths again. But fate doesn’t care about rules.

Enter Leo Moretti: sardonic Italian travel blogger, professional heartbreaker, and the last person Juno should trust with her fragile post-corporate soul.

Call it petty or perhaps foolish, if you will, but to Lauren, his small revenge became the last saving straw in his drowning life. Lauren became suicidal after finding out that his parents were both alive but had discarded him as a baby right after his birth just for being born different and yet raised his twin sister with so much love and affection. So as a coping mechanism, he made it his life mission to teach them a small lesson by denying his sister, Laura, the joy of being with the only man that she has ever loved as a little token of payment for this unfairness. For years, Lauren lay in wait as he worked as a bar host and planned his simple but well-elaborated revenge against his parents' "golden child." But finding out that he was pregnant with another man's baby not so long after the wedding was never part of his plans. So Lauren knew then that it was time to draw the curtains closed before his "husband" found out that he had been duped. He needs to RUN! So what happens when this said husband too has no intention of letting him get away with this scot-free and intends to find his "fake" wife and make sure that he pays for his deception? What happens then when he realises that the man that he has been searching for is none other than the very husband that he has been running away from? Will he go and claim him back, or will he let his sister be with him, rather? And what if, while Lauren thought that everything that was happening was as a result of his own game plan, he was rather just a pawn in someone else's chess? *** Note: This author would not give warnings for any scene in the book.

I entered the restaurant and he was still there,waiting.I glanced at my watch,it was midnight.That was how badly he wanted to speak to me.My heart crushed for him,I sympathized.Did he deserve it?No.He was a jerk,at least I thought. "Eva,you came,"he seemed surprised and relieved to see me. He stood up to help me take a seat across him at the table by pulling the chair back for me. "Thanks,"I said in almost a whisper. "I thought you wouldn't show.I'm glad you're here,"he said as he took his seat.He sounded nervous and that was a bad sign.A nervous Carlos?Never thought I'd see the day,but there we were. "I almost didn't come to be honest,then there was traffic,so you better make this worthwhile,"I said trying not to show that I was still upset with him.He nodded as he bit his lower lip,as if not sure where to start.I was upset but I couldn't not notice how hot he looked.New hair cut,that white T-shirt through which the tattoos on his chest were visible... He lightly took my hands, which I had rested on the table,into his.I wanted to pull away but I couldn't.It felt so good. "Should I get you something to drink first?"He asked. "No,I'm good,"I politely declined and gathered the strength to pull away from his soft touch. "So,tell me,"I reminded him that he wanted to talk to me about something. "I don't know what Lauren told you but we are not together,"he started."We broke up before I moved here.We figured we couldn't do long distance and she didn't want to come with me,"he continued. "Then why would she lie to me?"I asked,not wrapping my finger around the whole situation. "She assumed we would be getting back together,"Carl explained further but it left me more confused. "Why?"I asked "She's pregnant Eva.She's expecting our child.She came to Mexico to tell me that,"he dropped the bombshell and my heart dropped into my stomach.I swear I could hear my intestines twist in there. "She's eight weeks now,"he added.I was wishing he stopped talking.That was a lot to take in,God! "Say something,Eva,"Carlos begged as I sat there in silence. "What am I supposed to say?The man I love is expecting a child with another woman.It's a lot to take in,"I as I blinked in a bid to keep my tears from falling.I lost and the tears came crushing down my cheeks.Carlos was smiling,I didn't know why. "That's the first time you've said that.That you love me,"he said and I understand why he had smiled earlier. "I'm sorry Eva,"he said and stood up from his seat.He went down on one knee in front of me and offered me his handkerchief. "You shouldn't be sorry.I wish things were different.I wish I had known you at a different time,"I said as I dried my tears with his handkerchief. "Me too,I'm sorry it is complicated,"he whispered again and I stooped a little bit to hold his chin as a sign of reassurance.I caught a tear in his beards.I thought I always loved complicated,till that day. "We'll be fine,"I said to him."But I hope you understand that I can't be with you Carlos,I don't want to be reason why your baby doesn't grow with you by their side.I wouldn't be able to forgive myself,"I said and he buried his head in my lap.He was crying,he was losing it.I could tell from the tears that were seeping through my emerald dress.I softly rubbed his hair to comfort him. I lost him even before I had him.Love!

Lacking typical isekai powers, she feels like a useless extra in someone else's fantasy. Rescued by a well-meaning hero and his odd companions, Lauren's quest to return home takes a hilariously strange turn when a magical artifact demands "the sauce." Armed with a chaotic conjuring ability (internet memes meet survival tools), Lauren stumbles through perilous lands, hilariously proving that even a background character can have a (very weird) adventure.

Catherine é uma moça de sorte, de muita sorte.

A spilled coffee. A ruined blouse. And one unexpected collision that might just change everything. Ava Monroe doesn’t do chaos. As a rising marketing strategist in New York City, she keeps her life perfectly color-coded, scheduled to the minute, and brewed on exactly one-and-a-half cups of oat milk lattes per day. She’s survived toxic workplaces, ghosting exes, and the brutal gauntlet of Manhattan rent hikes—because she knows exactly what she wants from life. And she’s almost got it. Julian Reed doesn’t do attachments. As the CEO of a wildly successful tech consultancy, he’s mastered the art of being charming without being vulnerable. His days are a blur of board meetings, brand deals, and avoiding anything that remotely smells like real emotion. The last thing he’s looking for is… well, anything involving feelings. But when a random shoulder-check outside a Midtown coffee shop ends with Ava wearing his espresso, and Julian wearing her scowl, their lives unexpectedly intersect. She wants nothing to do with him. He’s intrigued by the one woman in the city who didn’t flirt, flatter, or try to impress him. And so begins the slow, messy unraveling of both of their perfectly controlled lives. Their paths continue to cross—once, twice, again. Through unexpected work overlaps, mutual friends they didn’t know they had, and the strange magnetism neither of them wants to name. Ava tries to ignore the way Julian’s vulnerability shows in the quiet moments. Julian tries not to wonder what Ava’s hiding behind her sarcasm and late nights at the office. But just when they begin to let their guards down, everything gets more complicated. Secrets from Julian’s past resurface, threatening his company—and the fragile trust he's starting to build with Ava. Meanwhile, Ava must confront her own fear: that loving someone could mean losing herself, again. As their lives twist into each other’s, Ava and Julian must decide whether they’re willing to risk everything they’ve worked for… just to have something they never planned on. The Long Way to You is a slow-burn romance with heart, humor, and a depth that lingers long after the final page. It’s about two ambitious souls learning that love doesn’t always arrive on schedule—and sometimes, the most meaningful connections start with the most inconvenient collisions. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Talia Hibbert, and Christina Lauren, this modern love story explores the tension between independence and intimacy, ambition and vulnerability—and the beautiful, complicated middle ground in between.

Call it petty or perhaps foolish, if you will, but to Lauren, her small revenge became the last saving straw in her drowning life. Betrayed by her own family, who had her incarcerated for a crime committed by her older sister, Lauren wanted to end her life when they also went ahead and disowned her after her release from prison. So as a coping mechanism, Lauren made it her life mission to teach her family a small lesson by denying her sister, Laura, the joy of being with the only man that she has ever loved as a little token of payment for all that she had to endure from them. For years, Lauren lay in wait as she worked as a bar hostess and planned her simple but well-elaborated revenge against her parents' "golden child." But finding out that she was pregnant with another man's baby not so long after the wedding was never part of her plans.  So Lauren knew then that it was time to draw the curtains closed before her "husband" finds out that he has been duped. She needs to RUN! So what happens when this said husband too has no intention of letting her get away with this scot-free and intends to find his "fake" wife and make sure that she pays for her deception?

"You are lying!" she retorted, her voice ringing with a blend of indignation and despair as she surged to her feet and crossed the space to his side. Her anger struck him as somewhat bemusing, and in a different circumstance, he might have been tempted to applaud her unyielding spirit. "I am an apex predator. I am what monsters and all things wicked fear. How could you imagine I would concern myself with something as fickle as emotions, let alone for a witch?" he asserted, his words delivered without the slightest quiver of doubt. His words landed like a blow to her very core. She had never anticipated such a stinging rebuttal from him. "If you can look me in the eye and tell me you feel nothing for me, then I'll leave you alone," she challenged, her tone calm amid the raging storm of emotion that churned within her. Her words felt like a knife piercing through his cold heart, leaving Damien to grapple with the weight of her final statement. He hesitated for a few fleeting moments before lifting his gaze to meet hers. "I don't," he declared, the words slipping from his lips with austere finality. Lauren's heart sank upon hearing his response; she sensed within her that he was not speaking the truth, but what recourse did she have? Before she could utter another word, the ringing of her phone pierced the solemn air. Engaging with the call, she answered, "Hello, Director." Briefly acknowledging the conversation, she swiftly concluded, "Alright, I'll be there," before ending the call. "Thanks for the meal once again," she offered in a flat voice, devoid of any discernible emotion. Damien found himself taken aback by the sudden shift in her demeanor, feeling the impulse to say something, but before he could gather his thoughts, she had already entered the elevator. Making her way towards the exit, she soon drove off, leaving Damien to stand before the towering windows, watching her departure with a silent ache lingering within him. As she disappeared, he turned his gaze inward, pondering the emptiness that seemed to pervade his residence. Reflecting on his actions, he found himself questioning whether he had made the right choice in pushing her away, but he understood that only time held the answers. This Novel tells a story of a halfie(half vampire half human) named Damien Voltorie. Some whisper of Damien Voltorie as a modern-day wolf of Wall Street, while others deem him the nation's most captivating bachelor. But beneath the veneer of wealth and charm lies a secret: Damien is a thousand-year-old vampire, haunted by a traumatic past and determined to remain in the shadows. Yet, destiny has a different plan. As the last descendant of the once powerful Voltorie vampire dynastyt he is bound by an ancient prophecy to a brilliant human, Lauren Turner. A captain of special operations of the National division of intelligence (NDI) and a gifted surgeon, Lauren is his fated partner. Together, they hold the key to saving both the human and supernatural worlds from a resurrected evil that once obliterated his kingdom eons ago. Faced with a choice between prophecy and isolation, Damien must decide: Will he heed the call of destiny and fight to save the world, or will he allow it to burn as his kingdom did? Can he overcome the isolation of his immortal existence and embrace the warmth of a human love, or will he succumb to fear and run? Join us as we step into a realm where the veil between worlds is thin, and the fate of both human and supernatural rests on the choices of one reluctant vampire.
