I didn’t want to make this post.

I still don’t.

But a few people reminded me I have people who are there for me. Who can help, spread the word.

So, story time…

There was an incident this week with my partners father that caused the fire department, the police, and an inspector to come to the house. A house that belongs to my partner’s deceased mother. He’s been in the process of getting things squared away to become the legal representative of his mother’s estate like she wanted. In fact, there’s a lot of things she wanted that haven’t been respected by her husband, but wer’re not gonna go on a tangent about all that.

Instead, I’m just going to let you know, I am at risk of being homeless. We have to find a place in two months. We have no money because we put it all into this house, that we aren’t even allowed to be living in. For clarity, we live in the basement, which we were never supposed to be living in legallly. His father claimed the main apartment, claims it’s his although he refuses to pay bills for anything. Continues to take advantage and not pay or help with any bills, will not let us live where my boyfriends mom wanted us to live.

Okay, let me stop, again. Because… yeah. 

*deep breaths*

Anyway, long story short, I’m looking into resources and honestly any kind of help would be great. And as you all know, I’m disabled. I don’t work. So yeah, whether you want to help me with move in costs, read or buy my books to help me get some extra money, or something I don’t know. 

I don’t have a go fund me up. Honestly, it feels like a lot to do on top of everything (not including my current mental health state).

But yeah, that’s life right now.

So, I won’t be on much for a long while…

I just wanted to let you all know. 💖

"You have short arms."

Yeah, I know.

But, there's so much more to me than just that 💖

It’s a great day to share a line from my WIP 🥰

Did I mention, it’s a one night stand, but also an arranged marriage. And no, neither of them didn’t know who the other was the night they met. 

Messy af 🤭

Some favorite lines I’ve written in the billionaire romance novellas.

And yes, plural, because I couldn’t just chose one. 🤭 

My baby girl Josie coming in hot with the Spanglish 💖💖

Desmond 😩🫠

Period 💅🏼

He just likes her in every shape and form 🥰

Louder for the people in the back!!

🤭 My jealous baby Ev.

Did I mention no context?? Because 🤣
And the fact that this quote is in TWO different scenes.

🥹🥹🥹🤧 being a billionaire is hard bro

👀 did I just show you an Ace quote??

🥹 our boys wanna feel seen too

It’s the “Atta Girl” for me 🫠🫠

Someone come get their man 😩

But what do you mean?! 😭

“How desperate are you?”

Well, we’ll see just how desperate he is in his story 🤣

dear diary…

*idea from @pagesbyrebecca *

It’s been a while since I’ve straightened and curled my hair. My arms were sore after, but I look pretty and have been saying I wanted to do it and never did, so it’s a win. 

My crash outs are still…. Crashing. But, hey, at least I pick myself back up. Sometimes with help. 💖

Speaking of crash outs… I almost started my wip all over again. Luckily talked myself out of it and only did some light rewrites to the last two chapters I was working on.

I even added a scene where the billionaire wakes up his wife, but she 🔪 him. Which is fair, because mf shouldn’t be waking her up in the middle of the night.

That scene isn’t part of the sneak peek I sent to my team, BUT, I did send them stuff and I hope them get it soon so they can be just as obsessed as I am with Ace.

💖

So, I heard a little chisme (gossip) today. Apparently you like the one-night stand x billionaire trope combo? 👀

Who are the Elysium Billionaires? Well, there's...

💍 The single dad who asks his nanny to fake date.

💘 The mystery biker who's secretly in love with his sister's best friend.

✨ The insufferable pretty boy who falls head over heels for a one night stand.

And yes, they're all idiots, but their ✨our✨ idiots.

So, which one are you choosing? 👀
