The Wedding House By Devin Wilson When renowned wedding planner Marianne Voss receives a mysterious invitation offering double her usual rate, she expects extravagance - not obsession. The job takes her to Durell House, a haunting mansion perched on the cliffs above the fog-drenched town of Cliffhaven. The bride, Evelyn Durell, is elegant, enigmatic, and impossible to read. She claims the house itself is waiting for the ceremony. But something about the estate feels alive. Mirrors breathe. Chandeliers pulse like quiet hearts. Music echoes in empty rooms. And the house seems to recognize Marianne. As the days pass, Marianne finds herself drawn deeper into Evelyn's strange world - a place where devotion feels like gravity and every hallway holds the memory of a vow once spoken. Yet the town whispers of promises that were never kept... of a bride who never left... and of a faceless figure that still dances in the mirrors after midnight. The closer Marianne comes to Evelyn, the more the house begins to change - listening, watching, learning the rhythm of her heartbeat. Because some houses remember love. And some houses hunger for it.

The forest whispers her name like it never stopped. Something in Hollowmere has been waiting for her return - patient, quiet, and far from harmless. And the deeper Adira goes, the more she realizes: these woods don't want her to remember. They want her to feel. Feel the pull. Feel the fear. Feel the truth she was never meant to survive.

He speaks to her, laughs with her, builds a life around a ghost...all while the world crumbles quietly around him. But the dream are fragile things. And the mind, even more so. As the seasons change and memory fades, Sephiroth must confront the truth buried beneath the ashes. Because the longer he clings to the illusion, the closer it draws him to ruin. And some dreams don't let go without a fight.

NEW CHAPTERS EVERY MONDAY, WEDNESDAY & FRIDAY :) FOREWORD This story isn't about flowers. Or love. Well-both are in it. Just not in the way you'd expect. Jasmine can be beautiful, but suffocating. Love can be sweet, but also poisonous. And memories? They're the biggest illusion of all. Sometimes you think you remember what happened. But what if you only remember what someone wanted you to? When I came to this town, I was just a girl in platform shoes, smudged lipstick, and a clear plan: Clear out the house. Sign the papers. Leave. Instead, I found a garden that won't die. A villa that whispers in dreams. And someone I should've never met. Maybe he doesn't even exist. Maybe... I made him up. I don't know how much of what I'm about to tell you is real. But every word happened. Or is happening. Somewhere. Again and again. All it takes is one step into the flowers- And nothing is ever the same. - Lenka
