Years ago, after being publicly shamed for loving the wrong girl in high school, she vowed never to trust again. Now, Dr. Williams stands at the head of one of the country's most prestigious hospitals, The Niran-Kai Medical Center, an empire she inherited from her mother. At last, her life seems secure and her reputation untouchable. Until a single mistake threatens to destroy it all. An IVF patient has been inseminated by accident, and scandal looms. Determined to control the fallout, Williams takes charge of the case herself, convinced that power and money can erase the damage. But what begins as a crisis soon becomes a reckoning. Drawn into the life of the woman at the center of the error, Williams is forced to confront the past she has spent years trying to escape. In a battle between power, guilt, and long-buried love, two women bound by more than a lost embryo must decide how much of themselves they are willing to risk: for truth, for forgiveness, and for each other. What will the future hold for this embryo?

One girl, haunted by demons she never asked for. One girl, holding onto a dream with bleeding hands. One girl, clinging to a life she never was supposed to survive. One girl-and one infuriating woman she was never meant to meet. Aurora Winters, 18, soft-spoken and sweet like spring rain, begins her second last first day of senior year. The wreckage of a car crash last Christmas stole what little safety she had left-leaving her in the bitter care of an aunt who never wanted her and a man who only knows cruelty. Bruised, quiet, alone and unraveling, Aurora is trying to survive the storm. But survival becomes complicated when a certain woman enters the picture. Valentina M. Harlow, 37, new to this part of town, new to the school, old to the weight of the world. Once a sweet girl who ached to be seen, now a woman shaped by silence and cold resolve. Sharp-tongued, guarded, emotionally untouchable, manipulative and entirely disinterested in attachments. She is the oldest daughter who walked away-from blood and businesses, from love, from everything that broke her. It's been seven years since she last let herself feel. And she likes it that way. Until Aurora. What begins as uneasy glances and sharp conversations becomes something far harder to ignore. Valentina sees the pain in the girl's eyes. The bruises beneath the surface. And suddenly, the woman who feels nothing is faced with a choice: walk away as she always has, or reach out-risking everything. This is a tale of longing and danger, where hearts shatter, wounds heal, and reopen. Again and again. A story of two women who were never meant to orbit, yet crash into each other anyway. A story of it all. Of longing that feels like ruin. Of aching that feels like home. Of broken things that refuse to stay broken. A slow unraveling, a dangerous pull. A love that could save-or destroy-them both. Maybe they'll piece themselves back together. And set the world on fire, together.

[TeacherxStudent] Samantha Collin is an 18-year-old teenager who is reserved and struggles with anger issues. She has a past she is healing from and tends to shut people out because of it. Ella Sorax is a strong, beautiful, and wealthy woman currently teaching at Sandiago Highschool, she is a cold-hearted bitch to most people who cross her way. Let's see what happens when these two cross paths. Will Samantha let Ella into her life? And will Ella remain professional? ___________ "Love is not that easy; it can bring you to your knees in front of your greatest enemy" she whispered in a low voice, Her face close to mine, tears falling from our eyes, she leaned in, "And you, Cara Mia," she continued, her tone shifting, laced with both sorrow and a palpable danger, "You gave your heart to a devil." Another tear slipped down her cheek, and before I could reach out to wipe it away, she wiped it away fiercely, I looked at her and gently placed her hand on my heart, my gaze locked with her "I love You Ella," I said tears falling freely. I pressed her hand harder against my heart, the thudding rhythm echoing in the silence between us. "This," I said, my voice breaking with the weight of truth and longing, "this beats for you, Ella Sorax," I said breaking. I could almost hear my heart shattering, yet I held her gaze. ______________ TW: This story contains: Smut Sexual Abuse Traumatic past Domestic Violence Violence

Aurora Kensington has spent years trying to silence the voice in her head-the one that sounds too much like Briar Holloway. The girl who was once her best friend. The girl who came out to her. The girl she pushed away. Now eighteen, Aurora is desperate to prove she's everything she's supposed to be: a good daughter, a devoted Catholic, normal. But no matter how hard she prays, no matter how many rules she follows, she can't shake the feeling that something inside her is broken. And when she sees the lights on in the Holloway house for the first time in years, something deep in her chest stirs. She doesn't know Briar is back. Not until she turns around at a party and finds her standing there. Briar never planned to return to Chapelwood, but with her family drowning in debt and her grandmother's health failing, she had no choice. She tells herself she doesn't care about Aurora anymore-that she only came to this party because she thought it'd be funny. But the second their eyes meet, the past slams into her like a tremor. Old wounds. Old feelings. Ones that never truly faded. Because "love" (if you can call it that) like theirs doesn't disappear. It fractures. It festers. It trembles under the weight of everything unsaid. And if they're not careful, it might just swallow them whole. But none of it truly matters anyway. Not unless Aurora is willing to face the truth about herself. A story about love, sin, and the thin line between devotion and obsession.

With $3,200 to her name and no safety net left, Nova is thrown into a world she's only ever observed from behind tinted glass: one where loyalty is earned, not inherited, and love doesn't come with conditions. In a city that thrives on power plays and broken promises, falling for someone might just be the most dangerous rebellion of all
