Halfway through her walk, her secretary appeared. Helena stopped to hear what he had to say. My vision for this long awaited day shattered when she tossed her veil away. "Excuse me!" The sound of my heart breaking into tiny little pieces was deafening and the murmurs of shocked family, friends and guests were muted. The wedding official's voice cut through. "Are you ok, dear?" Was I? For someone who was left standing at the altar... A jilted bride... I pushed the pain away, "I'm alright." The signs were always there. I only have myself to blame for the humiliation I had to suffer again today. I fell in love on my own so it was only fair to hurt alone. Fairy tale endings weren't for everyone; I knew this at the back of my mind. I may be foolish for thinking it but I always believed love has requirements; a beautiful face, a kind heart, deep pockets, a backbone - the list goes on. The requirements to be loved in return varied in proportions. So... Did I meet the standards? I had the money to entice her family. I had the backbone to stand by my decision to marry. I have a heart that loves her alone. I just fell a bar under beautiful. One could say I was passable. Somewhere along the line I must have missed and failed a mark... Just passable... Maybe that was the reason why she just passed me by. © All rights reserved

But when every woman around her starts admiring her new husband, why does it make her heart ache?

Professor x Student | WLW Claire Dover (20) is standing at the edge of something she can't name. It began with a single moment, an instinct to reach out, to care, before she even knew who the woman was. Just a stranger in the wrong place at the wrong time. She didn't expect to see her again. She didn't expect that the woman she pulled back from the road would later introduce herself as Professor Hartmann (39). And Lyn? She never meant to care. She is the kind of woman who carries old grief like a folded letter in her coat pocket. But Claire is all sharp glances, quiet presence, and impossible timing. Now, every look, every pause between words, threatens to unravel something they both try to hold together. A slow-burn sapphic love story about restraint, proximity, and all the things we feel before we can name them.

Love was never supposed to find them like this. For Lisa Manoban, love was always a dream stitched in quiet fragrances and fleeting moments-the kind of forever she once believed in, the kind she bottled in perfume, hoping someone would one day understand. On her wedding day, she waited to be given away, to surrender her future to a stranger chosen by family, her heart caught between obedience and silent rebellion. And then the groom ran away. For Jennie Ruby Jane, love had always been a rumor, a whisper she never trusted. She had inherited empires and obligations, but never intimacy; she knew the weight of expectation better than the warmth of devotion. Cold, untouchable, and unwilling to bend-Jennie had promised herself she would never belong to anyone. And yet, on that same day, she was asked to replace the man who fled. Two women bound not by choice but by circumstance. Two hearts pressed into vows neither wrote. In a world where silence cuts sharper than words, and longing lingers longer than perfume, they must learn whether love can grow in the spaces between heartbreak and hope. This is not a story of perfect beginnings. This is a story of vows rewritten, of glances that hurt and hands that heal, of two souls who were never meant to collide-yet did. This is the story of Her Replaced Bride.

A Short Story. Jennie Kim returns to Korea with her dinosaur-obsessed 4-year-old son Riley Kim and one big problem: her grandfather assumes she has a wife. Desperate to keep the lie from unraveling, Jennie ropes in her high school ex, Lisa Manoban, now the charming owner of a dino-themed café called DinoBrew. What starts as a fake marriage to impress family turns into late-night confessions, stegosaurus pancakes, and a second chance neither of them expected. As old feelings resurface and Riley starts calling Lisa "Mama," Jennie finds herself wondering-what if this pretend life is exactly what she's always needed? Includes chaotic cousins, café romance, a slowburn fluff overload, and one very dramatic 4-year-old dino prince.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hello readers! Given recent industry announcements, I want to be unequivocal: this is a fictional story. The "Jen" and "Lisa" and many others name in this tale are characters I've created for a narrative. They are not representations of the real-life idols. This is written for entertainment within the fan community. Thank you for understanding! Now, onto the story... Lisa Manoban: Top-tier surgeon. Cold, composed, CEO of a prestigious hospital in Seoul. Practically lives in scrubs. She's logical, calm, and seemingly emotionless-but underneath, she's just very guarded. Her mother is desperate to see her loved and happy. Jennie Kim (Ruby Jane): Fierce, successful lawyer at a major firm. Known for her sharp tongue, killer fashion sense, and unmatched courtroom skills. Independent and stubborn. Hates being told what to do-including by her matchmaking mother. ⸻ Lisa and Jennie are unknowingly pulled into an arranged marriage orchestrated by their mothers-both of whom are old friends and very aware of their daughters' lack of romantic interest in men. What begins as a reluctant agreement to "just go on one date to please them" slowly turns into something real. But work, pride, secrets, and past heartbreaks threaten to tear them apart before they even get a chance.

Lena Carver has everything under control-except her dream. As the no-nonsense manager of Rosebay Resort, one of the crown jewels in the Sinclair Hotels empire, Lena has dedicated the past six years to keeping five-star chaos in check. Between demanding guests, last-minute weddings, and her spirited four-year-old niece she's helping raise, Lena's got zero time for distractions-especially not the high-heeled, high-maintenance kind. Enter Avery Sinclair. She's the hotel chain's heiress and a walking HR warning with a trust fund and something to prove. After being sent to "oversee" Rosebay-aka get exiled from corporate HQ-Avery is determined to turn the location into the most profitable in the company. Her plan is simple: maximize revenue, impress Daddy, and earn the CEO title. Her plan does not include clashing with the sarcastic, infuriatingly competent hotel manager who seems allergic to authority and perfectly capable of running the entire empire on her own. What starts as a battle of wills quickly spirals into something much messier: unexpected teamwork, flirty banter, steamy tension in the linen closet, and the kind of feelings that don't come with a corporate playbook. In a place where professionalism is key and romance is strictly off the clock, falling in love might just be the biggest disaster of all. Welcome to The Last Resort-where ambition checks in, sparks fly, and hearts are the messiest rooms to clean.
