Meslayca Avbella Fontana arrived at Shiniell University like a distant echo finally returning to its origin. A stranger to the city but not to the shadows of memory, she carried with her not just ambition, but the silent weight of everything she left behind. This new beginning was supposed to be a fresh page, yet fate had other plans-waiting quietly in the form of Vianna Eleison Anderson. Vianna, no longer the girl Meslayca once knew, had grown into a figure of quiet power-elegant, composed, and admired by all. As President of the student organization, she stood tall in the light, even as her heart remained hidden in the dark. For years, she had loved Meslayca from a distance, her feelings carefully tucked between the pages of time-never spoken, always felt. And now, with the past suddenly within reach, the ache of unspoken love begins to stir again. But the story does not end there. In the quieter places of the same campus, where time seems to slow and silence settles like dust, Scarianor Mavian Anderson walks through life like a ghost clinging to peace. She had learned to find comfort in solitude, to live untouched by chaos-until one fleeting accident cracked the stillness of her world. A stranger, a collision, an apology-and suddenly, something unfamiliar begins to grow. Not loud. Not fast. Just steady. Like rain carving through stone. Now both Anderson twins carry love like a secret-a quiet storm in their chests, swelling with every heartbeat, unseen by the ones who matter most. They live in the spaces between confession and silence. They hope in the tension between fear and courage. HOW FAR CAN THE HEART STRETCH BEFORE IT BREAKS? HOW LONG CAN LOVE STAY HIDDEN BEFORE IT DISAPPEARS? HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO FOR A LOVE THAT ISN'T RECIPROCATED? ✎ᝰ. Shiniell University Series 3: UD ✎ᝰ. Second Generation ✎ᝰ.

Xyrianna Isabella Alkaraz stepped onto the campus of Shiniell University like a leaf carried by the wind. Young, eager, and swept toward the unknown. With a full scholarship in hand, she makes her way to the campus of Shiniell University, stepping into a world where dreams are waiting to unfold. Yet this new beginning comes with a bittersweet price-leaving behind the warmth and comfort of home. The path ahead was unpaved, lit by the glow of possibility, yet shadowed by the ache of letting go. Across the same campus, Professor Roxiette Avegayle Fontana moved like a storm held tightly behind glass-elegant, contained, and impossible to read. Her charm was the kind that lingered like perfume in a closed room, but she was no open book. To her, people were mirrors: she reflected only what they brought to her. If you remained a stranger, she made sure the distance stayed. As Xyrianna wandered through this new world with the wide eyes of someone stepping into a dream, and Professor Fontana stood steady like a lighthouse that refused to guide, their worlds began to drift closer. Unseen threads pulled gently between them, like two stars slowly drawn into the same orbit-quietly, curiously, inevitably. ✎ᝰ. Shiniell University Series 2: MHMIMP ✎ᝰ.

At Shiniell University, a prestigious institution known for its academic excellence, Professor Vivian Madison stands as a pillar of discipline and intellect. Renowned for her strict demeanor and uncompromising academic standards, she is both respected and feared by her students. Yet behind her sharp presence lies an undeniable allure-an elegance and quiet intensity that captivates those around her. Though often labeled the "heartless professor," there exists a hidden depth to her, a mystique that draws others closer despite her intimidating facade. Meanwhile, Scarianna Eleanor Anderson shines as a celebrated figure within the campus community. Exceptionally intelligent and effortlessly charismatic, she carries herself with a confidence that commands attention the moment she enters a room. Strikingly beautiful and unapologetically bold, Scarianna leaves a lasting impression wherever she goes. She is admired, envied, and revered in equal measure. For a long time, Scarianna believed she had fully embraced her identity-secure in who she was and the life she was leading. But a chance encounter begins to stir something within her, unsettling the clarity she once held. Like a gentle breeze shifting the course of a still lake, love arrives quietly, challenging her to reconsider everything she thought she knew about herself. She is faced with a choice: to remain as she always was or to embrace the unknown and discover who she truly is beneath the surface. Inside the four walls of a Shiniell classroom, where chalk dust holds both questions and quiet feelings, the story of Vivian and Scarianna begins-like two pages slowly unfolding in the same book, discovering their truth between lessons, glances, and the soft hum of something unspoken. ✎ᝰ.

(IV) Zera Gabriel James is a quiet, emotionally distant high school teacher trying to find her place in a home that never truly felt like hers. When her mother remarries, she gains a step-sister-Sazch Ysla Astoveza Juarez-a cold, intimidating, and strikingly beautiful woman who's not just the doctor, but also a sharp-minded businesswoman and the powerful leader of two underground organizations. They clash. They pretend not to care. But behind every argument is a pull neither of them can explain. As days go by, teasing turns into tension, and unspoken words become lingering touches. Zera starts to see the girl behind Sazch's iron walls-protective, loyal, and dangerously soft... but only when it comes to her. Their love is forbidden. Complicated. Unspoken. But it's real. They're step-sisters. They're both girls. And their love was never supposed to happen. But it did. Because sometimes, the person you weren't supposed to love... is the only one who makes you feel like you belong.

(III) For years, Lenesha Villanueva has been chasing after one woman-her best friend's older sister, and now, her professor. Professor Jeremiah Maureen Montero. Cold. Strict. Always frowning. The kind of woman who could silence an entire room with just one look. She's never been the type to smile, let alone entertain someone like Lenesha-loud, persistent, and hopelessly in love with her. Everyone says it's a lost cause. That Jeremiah doesn't feel anything. But then there are those moments. A lingering stare. A softened voice. A hand brushing a little too slowly against Lenesha's. Enough to keep her hoping, hurting, and holding on. Because Jeremiah may push her away nine times out of ten... But on that one rare moment, she pulls her back in-without warning, without promise. Lenesha should've stopped a long time ago. But how do you stop chasing someone who sometimes looks at you like they might feel it too?
