Stefani's POV
"Oh, it's just like that, it's over between us Stefani!" Christian started to walk away and I ran over him.
When he arrived at the car, I said to him:
"Christian, stop! I have to explain it."
"I don't want to see you and hear you, Stefani, stop it."
"No Christian, you cannot do this to me, I love you."
"Are you serious, Stefani? You cheated on me!"
"How do you know it? It was a mistake Christian."
"What are you talking about? I'm talking about that thing of you and Bradley together on your trailer. But you're talking about something other."
"Oh my god Christian, can we just go home and talk? I need to talk to you."
"No, that's enough! I'm leaving Stefani and don't try to call me. I passed here to tell you that I'm gonna leave for Germany. Now I have to go to the airport, I'll be back in 2 weeks and I'll pass home to take all of my things."
"I want to come with you. It's not over between us, I love you."
"No, I have to go Stefani. Stop it and return to your real love Bradley."
"I'm not in love with him, Christian, you know me, I'm not that type of person."
"I have to go to the airport." He said and he went away with his car. I returned inside and I went to my trailer, Bradley was still there and I said:
"Bradley, what have you done?"
"I'm so sorry, I came here to call you but when I saw you on the sofa, you were such an angel and I started to look at you and probably I fell asleep."

"Bradley, we've decided that we would have stayed only friends. You cannot look at me in that way and stay with me on the sofa."
"I can do it, there's something in me that says that I should stay with you, and I don't know Stefani what happens, but you make me feel in the right place."
"I love Christian Bradley, and now, everything is destroyed."
"Now we can stay together."
"No, you have a daughter and your fiancè and I have a fiancè even if he left."
"But I want..."
"Stop it, Brad. I only want you as a friend."
"We have to go to the other, we have a conference with the cast and tomorrow we start the shooting."
"I want to go home Bradley, I'm tired of this situation. Maybe the film is not the right thing to do, even if it's my dream."
"Stefani, if your dream is full obstacles, it is the right one."
"You are my obstacle Bradley, I had a boyfriend, my dream was coming true and then you arrived and now my boyfriend is gone, I'm not sure of what I feel and I'm not sure to do the film anymore."
"Oh, you've just said that you don't know what you feel. It means that you feel something for me, right?"
"Stop it, Bradley, let's go to the conference and let's start the shooting. Which scene we have to film?"
"Our first meet. Let's go and prepare yourself because you're gonna sing La vie en rose."
"Oh my god, Bradley, like our first meet."
I went on my trailer and I dress up my self, the make-up artists make me up and we started filming. When I sang "La vie en rose" and I look Bradley in his eyes, I feel something, but I don't know what. It was beautiful but I had to stay with Christian. I love him and I have hurt him so badly, he doesn't deserve me but I have to love him with all my self. When we finished, it was 8 pm and while I was trying to call a taxi, Bradley entered on my trailer and said to me:

"I'll pick you home Stefani, don't call a taxi."
"No Bradley, thank you so much but I have to take a taxi."
"No, you have to come with me, it's just a ride, don't worry"
"Mhm, okay but nothing more!"
I went up in his car and we sang all the time a lot of songs. We had so much fun together and I was happy. Suddenly we arrived at my home, and before I went out of the car, he looked at me and said:
"You're so beautiful."
"Stop it, stupid." And I started laughing.
"I can describe this moment, with a world: Mindfulness."
"Mindfulness? What do you mean Bradley?" I was speechless and I wasn't able to comprehend.
"You already know Stef, you can understand it by the way I look at you, I'm completely aware of what I feel, we have families and I have a daughter, but nothing will take me away from you. You are my Zweisamkeit, you know what I mean?"
I looked at him, he was smiling and it was the best smile in the entire world and I started to laugh. "I don't speak German Bradley, you know."
"This word describes the self-imposed isolation of a couple in love. Their togetherness creates a kind of loneliness around the two of them. And you, you are the only one who makes me feel like this. I can't let you go and I have to tell you, I love you Stefani, more than the word can say, more than anything, I'm in love with you from the first day I met you at your home, you were smiling with your blonde hair messed up, and when you started to sing, I saw heaven. I use this world, Mindfulness because I'm aware of my feeling from the first time."
He started to get closer to me and I said:
"Stop Bradley, we cannot do this, I have to go." I went up of the car and I entered my home, and once I sat on the sofa, I started to cry. My life is a mess, I love Christian but he went away. I was fulfilling my dream and Bradley ruined everything. I want just to sleep and to relax, then I'll think about the problems. While I was trying to sleep on my sofa, someone rang my doorbell, I opened and it was Bradley. He started to scream:
"Stefani you cannot do this to me, please, I love you, I opened my heart to you and you said anything. I just want to know, if you feel something, please."
"Bradley, damn, you're still here?"
"I'll stay here forever if it's necessary, it's a little bit cold outside, can I come in?"
"Yes, of course." We entered and I close the door. We sat on the sofa and I started to look at him, right in his eyes, we stayed in this way for almost 30 minutes. In the silence, we were only looking at each other eyes.

WISH MOUNTAIN
I could give you a typical synopsis that you'll gloss over...or I could tell you the essence of what the story will be. Still with me? Great! Let's get to it... WISH MOUNTAIN is inspired by fairy tales and, in a way, animated Disney movies. The biggest inspiration of them all is Beauty and the Beast. Why? Because I love it and hate it at the same time. The thing I hate about the movie is how the villain, Gaston, never got a chance for redemption. The movie was all about what is on the inside that counts, right? Beast went from bad-to-good because Belle learned to love and care about him. Was Gaston not worth that same chance for redemption? Sure he was a bad person, but so bad that he couldn't also undergo the same kind of change for the better? It was this question that got me thinking... what would Gaston's redemption look like? What kind of story would that be? From this nugget an entire epic story unfolded that has both outgrown, but has never forgotten, that original inspiration. So what can you expect? In essence: something like an epic, adult-orientated Disney story, which is gloves-off when it comes to violence and character trauma. I'll be doing my best to write a story that is as close to a classic adventure fairy tale with real stakes and meaningful characters as I can. The story begins with two orphans; Amaryllis and Chicory, who are whisked away to the magical WISH MOUNTAIN, and are faced with fending for themselves all alone. This is a HUGE story that will take YEARS for me to finish. If you're ready for a journey to Wish Mountain, then Once Upon a Time begins with Chapter 1...

Spell Bound
“It wouldn’t be a lie to say that many of us want to change our lives for one reason or another. Power, money, lust, love, acceptance… loneliness. Empty endless screaming loneliness; that was my reason. Loneliness that just didn’t go away no matter what I did or how hard I tried. Maybe some of you can imagine how I felt, perhaps even felt it yourself or still do. It is a terrible feeling isn’t it? It can be maddening beyond belief. I remember sitting on the floor in the corner of my room staring at the endless white walls hating myself. The loneliness had gotten so bad I would just sit there and cry. I felt so alone, so isolated, so inadequate. Would you run away from it all if this was your life? Would you try to change things? What my dear reader would you do? This is the story of how I ran, how I lived, how I tried to change things and how I finally died. Dear reader this book is the story of my life and those around me. The knowledge I’ve gained, the wisdom I have acquired, my triumphs, my failures, those I loved and those I hated. This book is all that I am and hoped to be. It is yours now, may it serve you well and guide you to a happier future than mine.” Excerpt taken from the journal of Kaden Vos also known as, “The Butcher of Rakan” -- I have been a long time reader and have always wanted to create something myself. I hope you all find this world I am creating fun and enjoyable. As I am new to this, any advice or feedback you have will be greatly appreciated and I will do my best to improve. My goal is a chapter a week, but sometimes it can be a bit tough with work and taking care of the family. Thank you all for reading. -- PS: I take no credit for the new cover, you are an amazing artist whoever you are. I am only using it for a temp cover till I can make something myself.

The Spider's Lair (Vomit Draft)
A group calling themselves ‘The Starlight Spear’ ventures into a dungeon known as ‘The Spider’s Lair’ in the hopes to recover the treasure it possesses. Along with their newest member Morana, what could possibly go wrong? This 'Novella' -ha Novel* will follow the stories of a few main characters centering around a coherent plot. Theo Wood is an elf who joins a new criminal guild in the city of Leeside known as the 'Webbed Children', Sabrina Black is a young orphan girl developing strange new abilities, and Saurus, a Lord Commander put in charge for the recapture of Wetbrook--a town consumed by giant spiders! There will also be some interludes surrounding supporting characters. I'm using Royal Road to publish my first drafts, like throwing paint 'or shit' at a canvas to see what sticks. The writing quality will be the main focus in draft two (You've been warned), and I'm using the first draft mainly as a loose outline for the plot. I will also try and 'show, not tell' in draft two. This is my first attempt at a novel! Any help or advice is much appreciated! If you want to support me! Please follow, rate and comment, as this really helps me understand what to focus on in draft two. Thank you.
