Hiraya Grace is a girl who never typically believed in true love. Seeing it as a flaw, a vulnerability that becomes your weakness. Until a day arrived when two new students joined the school she's in that she started to feel emotions that she doesn't realize that she's able to feel. Changing her view on how love truly works. In a journey of discovering her feelings and uncovering deeper secrets than she had known, will Hiraya finally let down her guard and for once experience what love actually is? Or will her feelings once again vanish, like a haze in a blazing weather, disappearing as droplets of water rained. --- I thought that I wasn't capable of falling for someone else. But how can I describe this feeling that I experience every time you're here beside me. The loud thumping of my heart as you smile at me. The way you appear in my mind every time I close my eyes. If this isn't an ailment, then, is this probably what they call... love?

Three years ago, Nora disappeared. No body. No goodbye. No explanation. The last person she called was Mira Rao. Mira has spent three years trying to forget that night-and the fragments of memory that refuse to stay buried. Then a stranger appears outside her apartment. His name is Elias. He knows about Nora. He knows about the phone call. And somehow, he knows things about Mira that a stranger shouldn't know. She doesn't trust him. He doesn't tell her the truth. But the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to deny what is growing between them. What begins as suspicion slowly turns into something far more dangerous: a slow, consuming kind of love neither of them can control. Because Elias didn't come looking for Mira because he wanted her. He came looking for answers. And the closer he gets to the truth, the more terrified he becomes of finding it. Because what if the woman he's falling hopelessly in love with is connected to Nora's disappearance? And what if Mira isn't the only one keeping secrets? Some mysteries are better left unsolved. Some people are better left unknown. And some names... should never be remembered.

Amriti's life is split between harsh reality and haunting, too-perfect dreams. At home, her search for warmth is always met with coldness and sharp words; only her threadbare teddy, Ballu, offers silent loyalty. But sometimes, in sleep, she slips into a world where love is easy, kindness flows, and every wound is kissed better. Or so it seems. When a mysterious friend named Radha appears, blurring the borders between dream and waking, Amriti is offered a choice: Is it safer to hide in a fantasy stitched from longing, or to face the real world, bruises and all? As the lines between comfort and illusion fade, Amriti must decide what she's willing to risk for a place where she truly belongs. But in a story where love is both a missing piece and a dangerous puzzle, nothing is ever quite as it seems. Who can she trust-and what will she lose, if she dares to hope?

To the world, Azher Brylle Wuthrich is the perfect gentleman-powerful, composed, and impossibly untouchable. A billionaire CEO feared in the business world yet admired for his charm and elegance, he is a man who always gets what he wants. And this time, what he wants is Analea. Life has never offered Analea mercy. Orphaned at a young age, she carries the burden of survival alone-providing for her younger brother while enduring the cruelty of a family that never truly cared for her. Desperate for a way out, she accepts an offer that seems too good to refuse: becoming the nanny of Azher's children. But behind the gentleman's polished smile lies something far more dangerous. Azher's kindness is calculated, his affection possessive, and every gentle touch hides an obsession that grows darker by the day. What begins as a simple contract slowly turns into a suffocating game of desire, control, and emotional captivity. Because men like Azher Brylle Wuthrich do not simply admire things they love. They claim them. And Analea may soon realize that becoming the object of a gentleman's obsession is far more terrifying than being hated by a monster.
