AA & Riri

In a turn of events, Theodora, a second year university student, finds herself completely indebted to her lecturer, Mrs Valentine. The situation only grows worse when a set of dangerous events begin to unfold, leaving Theodora under the protection of Mr and Mrs Valentine. However, Mrs Valentine has a dark side to her that she only releases around her husband, a dark side that Theodora finds she's desperate to be a part of. ------------------------------------------------------------ So I'm really bad at descriptions. But I do encourage you to give it a read.

Two professors. One university. And a rivalry so intense it leaves the campus buzzing and them burning. "I hate that you make good points." "No, you hate that I make them before you." "You've been staring at me for five minutes." "No, I'm calculating how your brain managed to produce such arrogance." "Your handwriting is as chaotic as your reasoning." "And yet, somehow, both still win awards." Professor Lilian Rose is the golden standard. Calm, precise, impossibly brilliant. Her lectures soothe, her students excel. She commands respect without raising her voice. Professor Daisy Oliver? Sharp, unrelenting, lethal with a pen and a gaze. Her exams crush egos, her top scorers become legends, and she wears her reputation like a whip. But when they're alone... the rules dissolve. A library encounter. A mislaid paper. Fingers brushing over ink-stained notes. A flash of heat, of awareness, of want neither of them admits. Every snide remark, every playful jab, drips with tension thicker than any lecture hall. "I hate the way you make me think... and want." "You want it more than you admit." Glances linger. Hands almost touch. Every argument teeters between humiliation and something more intimate. A spark ignites, fierce and undeniable. Their rivalry is no longer about grades or prestige it's about control, surrender, and discovering just how far each is willing to push the other. Exams become excuses. Faculty meetings, battlefields of lust disguised as debate. And behind closed doors? They explore the friction, the heat, the unspoken fantasies that have haunted their every interaction. Brains, bodies, and boundaries collide. Pride fights desire, arrogance battles obsession, and when fire meets fire, only scorched skin and satisfied, secret smiles remain. The war of intellect has become a war of lust. And someone is going to win... or lose... entirely.

When the person you love becomes the one you fear most, survival becomes the only thing that matters. Parker Avery is a creative teacher and talented artist trying to rebuild her life after escaping a past filled with lies, betrayal, and unimaginable abuse. Moving to a new city offers her a chance to breathe again, to rediscover who she is beyond the scars she carries. Bailey Adams is a kindhearted college student who once believed she had the perfect life. But the woman she fell in love with has slowly become someone cruel and dangerous. Trapped in a relationship built on manipulation, fear, and violence, Bailey finds herself losing the person she used to be. When Parker and Bailey's lives unexpectedly cross, neither of them are ready to trust again. Both carry wounds that run deeper than anyone can see, and both fear that happiness may simply be something meant for other people. Yet sometimes healing begins in the most unexpected ways. The question is whether these two broken souls will find the strength to face their pasts and open their hearts... or if the damage done to them will keep them apart forever. _____________________________________________ Please note that the imagery used in my chapters are not 100% mine.

Enemies to lovers Two women in an office always compete for the top spot. There is constant arguing between the two in their offices. One day things change and all of a sudden they can't stay away from eachother.

It was an unexpected situation when Pyra got linked with her first love again, who barely knew her. Their family's decision to arrange a marriage between their families made the whole situation more chaotic. It was heaven and hell for Pyra, knowing she'd be under the same roof as her Professor, and she knew from the start that the Professor couldn't love her. She wants to be valuable to her professor's life and own her, but because of the love and respect she has for her, she frequently steps back from forcing herself into her. Devastated, she barely knows what she is going to do. Could her avoidance of her professor be the solution to all her problems, or will it just make all the situation worse because of the fact that the professor is in her grip already and, with more effort, she can finally win her heart?

Atty. Althea Regal and Dr. Thalia Ramirez wake up to the ultimate nightmare- they accidentally got legally married at a wedding party. Forced to live together for a year, chaos turns into softness, annoyance turns into longing, and enemies turn into something dangerously close to love.
