One Perfect Lie

Seventeen-year-old Lily Bennett has one dream: to grow up fast. Not to escape her small town or ditch her responsibilities—but to finally be old enough to date the kind of guy she’s always fantasized about: a handsome, wealthy, perfect man who will sweep her off her feet, love her deeply, and give her the glamorous life she’s always imagined. But there’s a problem—she doesn't know where to find him. Her world is small, her connections are limited, and the people around her have no idea what she’s dreaming of. She’s stuck in a high school reality where everyone’s chasing after the same things—and none of them are the things she truly wants. Desperate to break free from her ordinary life, Lily begins crafting a plan to meet the kind of people she thinks can give her the perfect future. But as she steps into a world far beyond her reach, she quickly learns that the dream isn’t as flawless as it seems. The more she chases perfection, the more she realizes that love, self-worth, and happiness aren’t found in the fantasy she’s built in her mind. Will Lily find the love she’s always longed for? Or will she discover that the life she’s dreamed of isn’t what she truly needs? Chasing Perfection is a heartfelt coming-of-age story about longing, self-discovery, and realizing that sometimes, the perfect life is the one you least expect.

Her quest for love and understanding leads her into the heart of a dangerous web of deceit, where nothing is as it seems and the lines between light and darkness are blurred. Haunted by whispers of a forgotten prophecy and a past she can barely recall, Emma finds an unlikely ally in Liam, a brooding warrior with a dark and hidden past tied to the Hollowborn and their ancient cults. Together, they discover a powerful artifact known as the Heartstone, capable of unlocking immense magic—magic that could restore balance or unravel the very fabric of their world.

With realms shattered, pasts uncovered, and hearts intertwined, The Hollow Lie is a thrilling blend of mystery, fantasy, and romance, where the ultimate fight is not just for survival, but for the future of a world torn apart by lies, deceit, and the pursuit of forbidden magic. As they confront the dark forces of the Hollowborn, Emma and Liam will face betrayals, awaken forgotten powers, and decide if their love can be the key to unlocking the truth—or if it will be their undoing.

As the doctor left, Sucy lay back in bed, feeling overwhelmed. Yoongi broke the silence, his voice low. "So, we're going to have our child." The silence that followed was deafening, and Yoongi asked, "Why are you not saying anything?" Sucy finally spoke, her voice shaking. "You don't want to be with me, or you don't want us to create a family?" Yoongi's face turned hard, and he asked again, "Wait, you don't want a child?" Sucy's response was immediate, her voice firm. "I don't want a child. All I want is to be with you for now. My mom would kill me; she wants me to get married and have kids, not sleep with my boss and get pregnant." She cried bitterly, her words pouring out in a rush. "I was sent on a blind date, but you turned me down, even though I didn't like you. I had to work for you to make you pay for what you did to me before, but then I ended up falling for you." Yoongi's face turned cold, his voice hard. "Wait, you don't like me? So, you used me? I didn't turn anyone down. You were the first girl I ever liked. So, you're going to abort the child?" Sucy's tears fell in a rush as she spoke, her voice shaking. "I liked you, but I had to abort whatever is in my belly right now." Yoongi's expression turned menacing, his voice low and threatening. "You know what? I hate you now. You're not killing my baby. I don't care what you do after you give birth to my child; you could do anything with your life. I will send the doctor to check on you every day, and some of my guards. If I ever find out you abort the child, I will kill you." As Yoongi walked out of the room, Sucy cried, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm sorry." She rubbed her tummy, her tears falling in a rush. "I'm sorry for all this, baby. I am sorry for not allowing you see your father and your mother. I am sorry again for allowing you to hear your parent argue about you for knowing about you for the first time .i am sorry love"she weeps bitterly

"The Lie I Tell Myself" is a hauntingly raw and intimate portrayal of loneliness and self-deception. Through Lie’s voice, it captures the fragile beauty of masking pain with fiction—of crafting fragile hope with trembling hands. It is a quiet, yet powerful reflection on the human need to feel, even when the feelings themselves hurt. The reason I wrote this story is because I wanted to give shape to the unspoken struggles many carry—the weight of sadness without reason, the isolation felt even in the presence of others. It is a piece that reflects the moments where we lie to ourselves, not out of malice, but out of the desperate need to keep going.

What if you became the villain in your own story? "Chronicles of the End", a novel I wrote and completed in the worst possible way, tells the story of a world facing an inevitable end at the hands of demons. But suddenly, I wake up to find myself in the body of Edward Lightstar inside the world of my novel.

In the ordinary world, Alexander Cage was anything but ordinary. A genius in every sense, he mastered skills that put him leagues above the average human—martial arts, biology, technology, logical reasoning, and beyond. With such unparalleled abilities, he led the World Association’s elite task force, handling missions no one else could survive. From high-stakes assassinations to saving hostages and tipping the scales in wars, Alexander was the “perfect human”—except for one missing piece: happiness. Haunted by a life that had been nothing but duty, Alexander decided to leave it all behind. One last mission, he promised himself, and he’d retire to find a new life, a normal life. But fate had different plans. In his final mission, he sacrificed himself to save his team, his life slipping away with his dreams of peace unfulfilled. Then, the impossible happened. Alexander awoke, not in the afterlife, but in a new world—a realm where magic, martial arts, alchemy, and ancient technology thrive together in breathtaking harmony. Reborn with all his memories, he is granted a mysterious “System” that promises him a fresh start and the power to shape his destiny. But as he navigates this strange world, battling villains, unraveling ancient secrets, and building alliances, he begins to realize he’s still missing something—the happiness and love he’s never known. In a land full of wonders and dangers, Alexander will rise again, not just as a warrior but as a man searching for meaning. Will he finally find the happiness that eluded him in his past life, or will his pursuit lead him down darker paths? In a world as boundless as his own potential, only one thing is certain—Alexander Cage’s story has only just begun.

I had always thought that life and I were best friends, that luck would always be on my side, that I was the epitome of perfection itself but little did naive, little me know. Life is unfair, luck can be bad and perfection is easily shattered but I payed for it, I learned that information the hard and cruel way. Life betrayed me and took away my parents, perfection turned on me and disappeared before my eyes and luck? My luck went from bad to worse to worst. Have you ever had people in your life that stand by you, support you and give you good advice? If you have then you understand that those people become incredibly important people in your life that it's like they've become melded in you, they become part of your personality, your rock and you begin to admire them and believe that you would have never achieved what you have if not for them. You place them on a pedestal in your head, one far higher than yourself. Now imagine that those people turn their backs on you and betray you and you find out that all their "good" advice were just merely the worst possible advice one could ever receive wrapped up in a pretty pink ribbon. You find out that they are two faced snakes who came into your life just to deceive and destroy. The pain from that is simply indescribable, like if you were on top of a building and it begins crumbles from the ground up sending you falling down but this time instead of falling to your death, you fall down a dark well and begin to wonder a dark path of depression, guilt, self hate and depreciation and regret and I promise you that is a fate far worse than death. I loved watching Spy movies as a kid, I'd even dream about them. I always thought it looked so cool seeing the main character fly through the air and do awesome tricks and defeat the bad guy but everyone else around me disagreed. They all said that spies were bad people and were never to be trusted but I didn't listen, I only trusted what I knew. But when my childhood dream that became my reality was handed to me on a silver platter, I finally understood that all that glitters is not gold. The main character always loses everyone and everything and ends up alone and being a spy is far from the fantasy I'd imagined. A spy's life is nothing but a big lie and false documents made to deceive, infiltrate and annihilate the lives of others. I give you three pieces of advice to carry with you on this damned journey called life. Never, ever under no circumstances must you ever trust a spy they are wolves in sheep's clothing. TRUST NO ONE. Keep a good eye on your pillars, attack before they can make their move. Everything comes with a price some as just more horrid that others. ***** Author here, I hope you enjoyed reading the synopsis, it was really fun to write but for more elaboration; This story is about the adventures of Andrea and her three best friends but it focuses more on Andrea, as she's the main charcter but there are some chapters whers the POV will changeand focus on her friends ot those around her. Andrea, having growing up in a loving family, finds it hard to believe that all she has grown to believe is a lie. She discovers that truly everything is not as it seems as it seems in her world of undercover spies.
