He was her promise. His brother was her truth. *** Meliora Kylene Rose Mendoza - Menky to her friends, "the poor thing" to Manila's socialites, and "my last hope" to her father - thought post-grad life meant poetry readings, thesis drafts, and quiet mornings with black coffee. But when her family's business, Mendoza Holdings Inc. - an eco-luxury furniture and interior design export company celebrated for blending Filipino craftsmanship with European minimalism - began to crumble, salvation came wrapped in silk contracts and an engagement ring. Courtesy of the illustrious Dela Cruz family. Rafael Sixto "Raffy" Dela Cruz was everything the tabloids promised: brilliant, disciplined, and emotionally color-coded. The kind of man who probably scheduled his heartbreaks in Excel. Then came Rowan Silveo "Ronie" Dela Cruz - his twin, his opposite, his chaos in human form. The one who smiled like rebellion and loved like a promise he never intended to break. Caught between duty and desire, between the man she's supposed to marry and the man who makes her remember who she is, Menky must choose: to remain the obedient daughter her world demands... or become the woman brave enough to rewrite her own ending. Because in her world, love isn't just complicated - it's contractual. And every signature comes with a heartbeat.

They met on a journey back home - two strangers sharing stories, smiles, and silence between bus windows and chai stops. Veer, wild and full of life. Anshii, quiet and composed. What began as a casual connection turned into late-night conversations, laughter under streetlights, and dreams shared in whispers. In the city that shaped them, their bond grew deeper - from strangers to friends, and slowly, to something more. But not every love story is meant to stay. Fate doesn't always ask for permission before pulling people apart. Now, they walk the same streets... as strangers again. Still carrying the memories. Still remembering the love that never got to stay. A story about meeting, belonging, and letting go - because sometimes, the hardest goodbye is the one that never gets said.

But when real life hits-failed exams, broken friendships, and choices that change everything-Khloe learns that love isn't perfect... but it's real. Welcome to Love Highschool, where even the smartest hearts have something to learn. She's brains. He's chaos. High school was never ready for this love story.

CTRL+ALT+REWRITE A second lead. A defiant heroine. A story tired of being told the same way. When Elaine was thrust into a tragic fantasy novel, she did what any self-aware protagonist would do: broke the plot, rewrote the rules, and kissed the guy she wasn't supposed to love. Now the timelines are collapsing, forgotten villains are crawling back from literary limbo, and the author herself is trying to take control. But Elaine isn't just a character anymore-she's the glitch in the system. With a sword-wielding romantic (who's allergic to emotional availability), an enchanted goose with a crown (don't ask), and a multiverse of rewritten destinies, CTRL+ALT+REWRITE is a romantic comedy wrapped in a dark fantasy cloak, laced with meta chaos, fourth wall breaks, and surprising emotional depth. If you love: Meta-romance & character rebellion Second male leads getting the love they deserve Fantasy worlds breaking their own rules Reverse isekai twists Smart heroines who write their own fate And stories where "happily ever after" is just the beginning- CTRL+ALT+REWRITE 🌸©HIRAETH ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

✨ What If I Never Said It 💔 A story of unspoken feelings, missed chances, and the kind of love that never makes it out alive. 📖 About the Story Ayaan has loved Zoya for three years. She never knew. She was warm, magnetic, and always talking about someone else. And he? He was always listening, hiding every word he wished he could say. This is not a love story. This is the story of loving someone in silence - of being there without being seen, of watching your world revolve around someone who doesn't even realize you're the sky. But when someone else enters the picture, when choices are made, and when truth slips out in the most unexpected ways - everything changes. Because some heartbreaks don't come with screaming or goodbye texts. Some happen slowly, word by word... until the silence becomes permanent. 🧩 Each part of this 10-part series ends with a twist. 🎭 There are secrets you don't see coming. And just when you think you know how it ends - you won't. --- 👥 Main Characters ✨ Ayaan - Quiet. Observant. Always the listener. The kind of guy who remembers your favorite song even when you've forgotten it yourself. He's the one who's always there, but never chosen. ✨ Zoya - Bold, radiant, and deeply unaware of what she means to people. She doesn't know she's someone's entire world... until she has to choose her own. ✨ Rayan - Confident and charismatic. The guy who makes Zoya laugh when Ayaan stays silent. But maybe even he isn't as whole as he seems. --- 📍 If you've ever loved someone quietly... this story is yours. 🖋️ Written by: @anshh.writes
