Hannah Reed had never expected Seoul to become the place where she grew up. At seventeen, she had arrived in an unfamiliar city with a future waiting somewhere beyond streets she barely understood-and one impossible distraction: Kang Dohyun. He had been the quiet genius everyone knew but few truly understood. Brilliant, disciplined, distant, and frustratingly unreadable, he seemed determined to remain untouched by the chaos around him. Hannah had been different. She had been expressive, stubborn, curious, and unwilling to disappear into the background. What began as an awkward school connection had slowly followed them beyond classrooms and graduation, through university, changing friendships, new ambitions, and the complicated freedom of adulthood. Years had changed them. So had distance. So had the people who entered their lives along the way. Between rainy Seoul streets, crowded subway rides, late-night cafés, university libraries, family gatherings, and quiet walks beside the river, Hannah and Dohyun had discovered that some connections refused to remain in the past. Their story had not begun with love. It had begun with familiarity. With two people who had spent years growing into themselves while unknowingly growing closer to one another. And sometimes, the hardest love to recognize was the one that had been quietly there all along. ©️ _RelleLebby_// R. L.

Apat na babae. Isang mahigpit na kasunduan bago magsimula ang huling taon sa Severino University. Walang iibig, walang magpapakatanga sa lalaki, at walang sisira sa pangarap. Para kay Adison Fernandez, ang batas na ito ay sagrado dahil bilang breadwinner, walang puwang sa buhay niya ang anumang klase ng distraksyon habang tinatahak niya ang matinding mundo ng Accountancy. Pero hindi sumang-ayon ang tadhana nang makilala niya si Jules Navarro, ang working student na tahimik na gigiba sa bawat patakarang pinanghawakan niya. Sa gitna ng puyatan, tambak na financial problems, at matinding pressure sa klase, matutuklasan nilang kahit anong talino mo, wala kang laban kapag ang puso na ang kumontra.

Two strangers. One contract. A war of logic and faith. Aria Khan moves through Oxford like a phantom. To the academic board, she is a brilliant rising star in bioethics. To her power-hungry family, she is a bargaining chip. Facing an arranged marriage designed to consolidate her father's global influence, Aria approaches the one man as cold and detached as the system trapping her: Zeyd Al-Sayyid. Zeyd is a high-frequency trading prodigy who views human emotion as an inefficiency to be optimized away. To shield Aria's legal autonomy and keep his own corporate board quiet, Zeyd offers a cold, operational transaction-a secret two-year civil marriage with zero cohabitation and absolute financial separation. When Aria's father retaliates by buying majority control of Zeyd's trading firm to destroy his life's work, their transactional union turns into an all-out war. Sacrificing her family's standing to save Zeyd's company, Aria flees to the manuscript archives of Istanbul, leaving behind an unfiled dissolution petition. Separated by thousands of miles and years of silence, Zeyd's impenetrable world begins to shatter. Looking at the blue server light connecting his terminal to hers across the globe, the mathematician realizes he has fallen for the one variable his code could never predict. Spanning from the rain-slicked cobblestones of Oxford to the sunny archives of Cairo and the waters of Lake Geneva, The Frequency of Silence is a sweeping, deeply emotional story of hubris, sacrifice, and the quiet courage it takes to find faith in a hyper-rational world.

HER REFUGE - The moment thunder split the sky, she flinched. Rain soaked her to the bone, but it couldn't wash away the betrayal etched across her face. Her fingers tightened painfully around her phone as she stared at the only man she'd ever trusted. Elian Moretti. The man the world feared. The man she loved. The man who had lied to her from the very beginning. "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, ELIAN?" Her scream tore through the storm. He didn't move. Behind him stood a line of black SUVs and armed men waiting for their boss's command. Yet, for the first time in years, the most powerful man in Italy stood powerless before one woman. "Why?" she whispered, her voice breaking. "Why couldn't you just be real?" "...Stella." "Don't." She laughed, but it sounded more like a sob. "Don't you dare call me that." "I beg you, Mr. Moretti... just leave me alone. I don't need your refuge. I never asked for your protection... I never asked for you." She looked at him with nothing but disgust. "You're a liar." "A traitor." "An absolute bastard." Silence. Only rain. Only thunder. Only two hearts shattering at once. "I hope you lose everything, Elian." His jaw tightened. "...Enough." "I hate you." No tears. No screams. Just emptiness. "You disgust me." For the first time, something inside Elian Moretti broke. But he didn't defend himself. He didn't reveal the truth. He simply watched the love of his life walk away and whispered, "And I will love you... until my last breath, mia Stella." She never looked back. She never saw the men rushing toward him. She never heard the gunshot that echoed through the storm. She never knew that walking away from Elian Moretti would become the biggest mistake of her life...
