Bmar thought love was supposed to make her feel safe, seen, and chosen. Instead, she found herself shrinking-apologizing for things she didn't do, pretending she was happy, and biting back the words she knew would only make things worse. For too long, she kept quiet. Until one day, the words she never said to him became the words she desperately needed to say to herself. The Words I Never Said is a quiet, powerful story about emotional survival, self-respect, and the silent bravery it takes to walk away from love that hurts more than it heals.

Some secrets refuse to stay buried... When Lena is called back to her childhood home in Ashfield to care for her dying mother, she returns to more than just memories. She returns to silence - the kind that follows tragedy. Years ago, her younger sister Celine vanished without a trace, and Lena has carried the weight of guilt ever since. But as her mother's condition worsens, disturbing clues begin to emerge. A torn photograph. A hidden journal. A whisper of something - or someone - buried beneath the lies. As Lena digs deeper, she unravels a truth far more devastating than she ever imagined. What she finds could destroy what's left of her family... or finally set her free. But some truths demand a price. Gripping, emotional, and full of suspense, The Secret She Buried is a haunting tale of love, betrayal, and the dark power of the past.

She's broke. He's heartless. The contract said no love-so why is her heart breaking? When struggling college student Naya Carter agrees to a fake engagement with cold billionaire Kian Vale, it's just business: pretend to be his fiancée for three months, attend a few galas, smile for the cameras, and walk away with $100,000. Simple. Until living under the same roof becomes dangerously complicated. Kian doesn't believe in love. Naya doesn't believe in fairy tales. But in a world of lies, what happens when the only thing that feels real... is each other? A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance about trust, secrets, and the one contract no one saw coming-the one written on their hearts.

Born beneath a cold and calm night, little Adira entered the world with eyes full of wonder and a heart untouched by sorrow. But from the very moment her tiny fingers reached out for warmth, her mother's tears was what she felt first. The Joy of having a such a sweet little angel and the pain of her father turning away - an angel cloaked in denial. To him, she was not a blessing, but a burden wrapped in innocence, a reminder of promises broken and dreams unfulfilled. Her mother held her close, whispering lullabies to drown the silence where a father's voice should have been. Adira grew in the soft echo of her mother's strength, but every giggle, every step, every cry bore the invisible bruise of a love withheld. She learned early how to smile without being seen, how to seek warmth from those willing to offer it freely. As the years passed, the question lingered in her soul like a song without an ending: Why wasn't I enough? This is the story of a girl born unwanted by the one meant to protect her, and the unbreakable spirit she forged from the fragments of rejection. It is a journey through pain, resilience, and the slow discovery that sometimes, the family who stays is louder than the one who walks away.
