They were inseparable for four years. Until one boy changed everything. For a whole year, Malia and Kylie have lived as if the other no longer exists. No calls. No late-night conversations. No explanations. Just memories neither of them knows how to forget. Then, one rainy night, Kylie shows up at Malia's door. No warning. No explanation. Just a girl standing in the rain, looking at the person she once called home. And suddenly, the distance between them doesn't feel quite as impossible anymore. As their lives bring them back into each other's orbit - between cameras, red carpets, new projects, old memories and everything they never said - Malia begins to realize that some bonds don't disappear just because you stop speaking. Because sometimes, the person you're trying hardest to forget is the one you never stopped loving. *This work is a piece of fiction inspired by public figures.

For Lea, they're distractions at best, trouble at worst. But Mitch has only one focus: Lea. And Lea has no time for a rich girl playing pretend... or so she tells herself. Years later, fate pulls them back together under brighter spotlights and higher stakes. But time doesn't make the truth any easier to face. Because falling for Mitch was never in the script. And this time... Lea might be too late to rewrite the ending.

Grace has always been the responsible one. After losing her parents, responsibility was all she knew-taking care of her younger sister, keeping her head down, never letting herself slip. No parties, no distractions, and definitely no time for love. It never mattered anyway. Love was something that never seemed to belong to her. Until now. What started as a simple tango class, just a chance to learn something she'd always admired, changes everything the moment she meets her. The instructor. Beautiful, magnetic, impossible to look away from. But falling for her is dangerous. Because she's married. She's forbidden. And she's the mother of her sister's best friend. Grace promised herself she would never risk her heart. But on the dance floor, with every step and every stolen glance, she's beginning to wonder if some loves are worth breaking all the rules for.

A slow-burn WLW dark romance exploring the blurred lines between power, desire, and identity. When Naomi Bennett returns from a year abroad, she's ready to start fresh - new course, new friends, new version of herself. Psychology was never part of the plan, but it's hers now... even if her parents still wish she'd studied law instead. Then comes Ms Chambers. Beautiful. Unreadable. Dangerous in ways Naomi can't quite put into words. A woman who owns every room she walks into - including the lecture hall. Naomi doesn't like her. She's too confident. Too composed. Too... something. But for someone she supposedly can't stand, Ms Chambers is increasingly hard to ignore. The tension is quiet, precise - threaded through loaded glances and careful silences. It's just in Naomi's head. Isn't it? As boundaries blur and obsession simmers beneath the surface, Naomi begins to question everything - what she wants, what she knows, and who she really is beneath the version of herself she's always performed. Because some lessons don't stay in the classroom. ⚠️ Content / Trigger Warnings: (Please avoid reading if any of the following may affect you.)

Hate. Resentment. Bitterness. These were the only words Ramona and Oona had ever needed to describe whatever this was between them. Ramona would say it started the day she left. No goodbye, no explanation, just an empty room and a year of silence. She told herself it didn't matter, that leaving was the right call, that Oona was better off forgetting her name entirely. Oona doesn't need convincing. She's spent a year convincing herself she's over it, that Ramona is nothing more than a mistake she made once and buried. Yet somehow, being back on this island with her feels like picking at a wound that never actually closed. To make things worse, Oona's past isn't done with her either. Her ex is back too, the one relationship that actually meant something, the one that lasted longer than anything she ever had with Ramona. Now she's caught between the two, one who broke her slowly and one who broke her all at once. Ramona and Oona tell everyone, and themselves, that they can't stand each other. Every room they're forced to share turns into a fight. Every fight ends somewhere neither of them wants to admit out loud. They loathe each other. That's what they keep saying. But there is one thing they can't control. The heart wants what it wants.
