Some people pass through our lives quietly. Others stay long enough to change us forever. Rudra dreams of becoming a boxer while struggling with school, family expectations, and a life slowly breaking apart. Shivani enters his world as a seatmate, a helper, and soon, someone he learns to depend on. Through loss, ambition, and unspoken love, they grow closer. But when distance, silence, and misunderstanding take over, their story is forced to end before it is ready. This is not a story about forever. It is a story about love that lingers. About people who leave, but never truly disappear. Because some footprints remain. This story is an ONC entry using the prompt:- 29. " You will meet many people in your life. Many will come and go, but some will leave footprints on your heart."

Some people are born into power. Fray was born into a cage. At seventeen, her world is already ending. Shaved bare. Drugged into silence. Marked by something no one understands, Fray survives beneath the watch of those who worship the twin suns while feeding on the ruin of others. In a world where worth is decided before birth, she is seen as broken long before she is seen as human. But something ancient lives beneath her skin. Something starving. Something that was never meant to survive. As memories fracture and time itself begins to unravel around her, Fray is pulled toward a truth older than kingdoms and far more dangerous than death itself. A truth tied to twin suns, forgotten cycles, and the white-haired boy who looks at her like she is both salvation and catastrophe. She was never meant to become anything. Yet the world keeps trying to kill her before she can.

"Are you planning to get off me?" asked a cold and deep voice. (Y/N) looked down and realised that she had fallen on top of...him. The newest teacher at Duskhallow is clumsy and constantly falls head over heels...literally. If you crave a story with romance, comedy, drama and mystery, then Duskhallow Diaries is perfect for you.

He's been coming here for months. He always leaves the same way he arrived. Unreachable. Unimpressed. Until her. She doesn't speak first. She doesn't try. She doesn't need to - she already knows what he needs before he does. And what he needs is something no one has ever offered him. To let go. A dark slow burn (at least emotionally, as physically things develop fast) about power, silence, and the dangerous thing that happens when a man who controls everything meets a woman who doesn't want to take it from him - just watch him hand it over himself. Not everything that happens in that room is about the body. Some of it is so much worse than that.

This is not a story about what happens. It's about what almost does. At an Ivy League medical school, Isabelle Laurent is known as the Ice Queen-brilliant, distant, untouchable. No one gets close. No one stays. Alexander Whitmore was never supposed to be different. Charming, privileged, and infamous for never staying longer than a few weeks, he understands desire. What he doesn't understand, until Isabelle, is restraint. She believes he doesn't want her. He knows wanting her openly would destroy everything. So they choose the most dangerous thing instead: friendship. "The most dangerous thing about Alexander Whitmore was not his reputation, nor his charm, nor the power he would one day inherit. It was the fact that he never asked for anything from me, and somehow, without realizing it, I had begun to give him everything that mattered." Slow burn • Dual POV • Consent • Emotional intimacy

"In a world ruled by power, ambition, and unspoken rules, love becomes the one thing that heals them. Lu Shiya-CEO of the Skywave Group and a globally admired design expert-stands at the top with elegance and control. To the world, she is untouchable. But beneath her composed exterior lies a past that never truly healed... and a heart that learned to stay strong, even when it hurts. Chen Li is a man who never loses. Cold, precise, and always ten steps ahead, he built his empire on control and calculated decisions. But when it comes to Shiya, logic fails him. One choice-made in silence, meant to protect-becomes the distance neither of them knows how to close. Fu Chian, steady and unwavering, is the kind of friend everyone needs but rarely finds. Honest to the core and fiercely loyal, he stands beside them-not as a bystander, but as someone who understands both sides... and refuses to let either of them face it alone. When business ties bring them back into each other's world, what begins as a professional partnership turns into something deeper-something unspoken. Old memories resurface, emotions remain unchanged, and the space between them fills with everything they never said. Because some wounds don't fade with time. Some choices stay, no matter the reason behind them. And some people... no matter how far you step away, still feel like home. Can love find its way back when the words that mattered most were never spoken? Or will silence keep them exactly where they are-close, yet never the same? A slow-burn emotional romance filled with quiet tension, unspoken feelings, and enduring love- where every glance carries meaning, every silence speaks louder than words, and love isn't about letting go... but learning how to hold on the right way."
