But just as Amelia’s heart begins to open up to Matteo’s sincerity, Caleb comes crawling back, determined to ruin her life. *** 【Excerpt】 “Oh?” Matteo asked, and Amelia caught a hint of amusement in his voice. “Then pray tell, what did we converse about?” Amelia swallowed. Good heavens, he was so close. She could barely even breathe, afraid that every movement she made would just amplify how loud her heartbeat was. It was racing like a bullet train at this point, and she felt it clog at her throat, refusing her a chance to speak. “I… I…I―” “I have no girlfriend, Amelia,” Matteo said. “And before you overthink, I do not have a wife in secret either.” His fingers didn’t let go of her wrist, and instead, it even tightened its grip. It wasn’t painful in the slightest, but it sent surges of electricity rushing through her body as though she had been struck by lightning in the most thrilling of ways. A coy smile curved his lips, and he leaned in just the slightest. His lips were now a hair’s breadth away from hers, and Amelia instinctively held her breath. “Unless, perhaps you would like to volunteer?”

Hello, readers. I'm gonna shamelessly review my novel. So please bear with me😅 'Formerly, the Queen of Charms' is my first foray into creative writing. English is my second language hence writing proved to be a challenging endeavor. But I have to write this story coz this is my dream. Being a writer is what I wanted to be. I have a lot of story ideas but I kept them on my notebook and Quip folders. A story idea is just an idea. If I cannot write it into a novel then it's just an idea; like daydreaming. It's idle thought. Writing this novel is a journey, a self-discovery, and learning. I hope that I'm able to convey my thoughts into readable, understandable chapters. Thank you for reading. ~ Sora
