Immigrant Stories

WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION. It only takes one moment to change your life forever . . . After her mother's deportation last year, all Soledad "Sol" Gutierrez wants is for her life to go back to normal. Everything's changed-new apartment, new school, new family dynamic-and Sol desperately wants to fit in. When she joins her community college's history club, it comes with an odd initiation process: break into Westray's oldest house and steal . . . a fork? There's just one problem: while the owners of the house aren't home, their grandson Ethan is, and when he catches Sol with her hand in the kitchen drawer, she barely escapes with the fork intact. This one chance encounter irrevocably alters her life, and Sol soon learns that sometimes fitting in isn't as important as being yourself-even if that's the hardest thing she's ever had to do.

WATTPAD ORIGINAL EDITION When her initiation into her college's History Club goes awry, Sol has to come face to face with Ethan-the cute guy whose house she just broke into. ***** Soledad Gutierrez, or Sol to her friends, decides to join the History Club at her Community college. However, this club is not like other clubs: they have an initiation process and a slew of other 'extracurricular activities.' In order to join the club, Sol must break into the oldest house in her small Californian town and steal one of their forks. The club members provide all the materials to break in; she just needs to take the utensil, take a selfie in the kitchen, and get out undetected-with the fork, of course. The problem is: Ethan Winston spots Sol in his grandparent's house, and he's determined to uncover the reason behind the break-in. However, both he and Sol are thrown for a loop when feelings begin to develop between them. And as Ethan becomes suspicious of the History Club, he and Sol get tangled in an adventure none of them were expecting.

She needed a green card. He needed an escape. So they got married. It was supposed to be fake- until it wasn't.

Two alliances, comprised of four major political entities and countless smaller nations, have been locked in a protracted war for years, neither able to gain a decisive advantage. As time passes and two brilliant commanders emerge, the situation changes, and Earth is finally drawn into this chaotic conflict. Dazzling high technology, artificial intelligence, life-saving drugs, gene therapy, and surreal games, accompanied by the looming shadow of interstellar war-is this a trap or a new beginning? The choice rests in the hands of every Earthling. Some are doubtful, some are opposed, and some are filled with anticipation. Regardless, a new chapter has begun. Can Earth integrate into interstellar civilization? How will it face the impending war? This is pure science fiction, not a wish-fulfillment story. There are no cheat codes, no time travel, no monster-slaying or leveling up, no harem, and no single male and female protagonist. Instead, it features multiple storylines. This work is merely a speculation about various future political systems and lifestyles. The descriptions of interstellar war are simply my own imagination and may differ from readers' expectations. I have tried to measure future warfare according to current laws of physics; of course, there are no outdated weapons like laser swords or fantastical weapons like two-dimensional foils. Beyond war and technology, this book explores various aspects of human nature: greed, fear, lust, power... It also features futuristic love, brotherhood, human-machine relationships, and clone romances... as well as international strategies and conspiracies. I hope you enjoy this book.

Two people who's lives are intertwined get a chance to tell their pov when an incident occurs. will this help them get closer? or pull them into regrets of the past?

She is a kinesthetic - for her, touch is a way of understanding the world. But she forbids herself from reaching out. They were brought together by an accidental lie in the office hallway. They are comfortable staying silent side by side. They speak different languages and are afraid of the same thing - a step toward each other. Can two broken people find in each other not passion, but something more - a quiet harbour where they don't need to fix themselves to finally be accepted? New chapter every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday! Disclaimer: English is not my first language, please, don't mind some little translation mistakes.

Earth has fallen. When the planet crosses its final climate tipping point, temperatures rise, crops fail, and billions are forced onto the move. Diplomacy gives way to ultimatums, then to war. From unassuming laboratories to streets drowning in heat and hunger, a fractured world stumbles toward its final reckoning. As famine and conflict spread, international order dissolves into violence and blame, and armies march north through ruins chasing a future that no longer exists. Yet amid the despair, a radical plan takes shape to move a fragment of humanity to the red sands of Mars. As Earth burns and the heavens fill with refugees, one truth becomes unavoidable: the future belongs only to those willing to sacrifice everything. In the chaos of the apocalypse, a new kind of security service is needed to enforce order where nations have failed. From the ashes of Old Earth, the Sunguard rises. Scorched Earth is a sweeping hard-science epic about collapse, survival, and the cost of choosing a future when the present is already lost.

It's a common story of a immigrant who needs a shelter.

After losing their footing in Miami's adult media scene, Emilio and Camelia take the kind of opportunity they can't afford to refuse: a two-year contract in Japan, shooting gravure models for a company that hasn't hired foreign creatives in decades. It sounds like salvation. Instead, it becomes a collision of cultures, egos, aesthetics, and desires none of them fully understand. From freezing spring mornings and humiliating first impressions to chaotic photo shoots, awkward language barriers, and the strange hierarchies of a new industry, the two are forced to reinvent themselves one assignment at a time. Emilio is a photographer with too much pride, too many instincts, and no clear line between artistry and obsession. Camelia is sharper, brasher, and often the only thing keeping their partnership from imploding. Together, they know how to make a body look beautiful. What they do not know, at least not yet, is how to capture the person inside it. When they meet Maiko, a veteran model with money, intelligence, and a past she still carries like a bruise, a routine job begins to shift into something riskier: a creative awakening, a clash of emotional truths, and a glimpse of intimacy that neither Emilio nor Camelia knows what to do with. Funny, raw, excessive, and unexpectedly tender, this is a novel about performance, longing, images, and the dangerous gap between being looked at and being truly seen.

In the turbulent era of 1886, a family's tragic demise shapes the destinies of two orphaned brothers, thrusting them into a world where faith is tested, survival is paramount, and the line between justice and lawlessness blurs.

The Story I Inherited follows Adam, a boy growing up between two worlds that don't always fit together. At school, he's just another kid trying to blend in. At home, he's surrounded by language, food, and stories that feel older than anything he understands but somehow still belong to him. As he gets older, the gap between those worlds starts to feel harder to ignore. Small moments, things people say, things he hides, things he's expected to be, begin to stack up. And somewhere along the way, Adam has to decide whether he's going to keep choosing comfort, or start facing the parts of himself he's been avoiding. It's a quiet story about identity, family, and growing up in the space between cultures. About the things we inherit without asking and what it takes to finally make them our own.
