Instead, she gets paired with Joe, whose wellness concern of Compulsive Behaviors is flagged by the AI system as a perfect match for Riley. Riley resolves to complete her month of check-ins and be done with it--until a glitch in the app sends Joe's embarrassing voice memos to Riley instead of his therapist.

    She loved him. Quietly. Completely. Hopelessly. But he never knew. She carried that love in silence, watched from the shadows. Some hearts are meant to beat in secret, some truths never spoken. This is the story of a heart that loved in silence, of words left unsaid, and of the quiet ache that never truly fades. A story of sacrifice, obsession, and love that is both beautiful and impossible.

    11x featured wattpad story. Before everything, it's assumed there was nothing, but what if there was no real difference between the two? Just two extreme philosophies from the first conflict. The planet Huom has been under observation for longer than should technically be possible. The primary watcher, a bitter black hole, is excited to see that there is finally a proverbial Darkness at the end of the tunnel. Meanwhile, on the planet, in the freezing mountains of Empris, Lyeasrakardsul, the oldest living sorcerer, suffers from devastating nightmares. At the same time, far away in the sandstone desert of Zenon, Herschel, a man filled to the brim with weird ideas is escaping a prison filled with strange old men. What does all this have to do with arsehole Gods, hairy Dwarfs, frustrated Afreets, curious Knomes, lizard-women, and nude Áettar? Perhaps Nothing, perhaps Everything... but why can't it be both?

    On a rain-lashed night in 2003, a signal failure halts every train passing through Kochi Junction. Among the stranded crowd, six strangers briefly cross paths - a disillusioned teacher, a young nurse bound for the Gulf, a returning architect, a restless journalist, a weary migrant mechanic, and an aspiring coder chasing her first job. None exchange names. Yet that night of shared waiting becomes the quiet axis of their lives. Over the next two decades, their stories flow outward - across Kerala's backwaters and India's cities, into deserts, boardrooms, and faraway apartments - tracing how ordinary people carry fragments of one another through distance, failure, and rediscovery. From night schools under railway bridges to floating hospices on the Alappuzha backwaters, Monsoon Junction maps the fragile beauty of human connection in a world always in transit. Lyrical and deeply human, this multi-voiced saga explores the lives of those who arrive, depart, and sometimes return - finding that the hardest journeys are not measured in miles, but in forgiveness.

    At thirteen, Ayaan fell in love with a girl at his sister's wedding-a girl with black eyes and an emotionless heart who would haunt him for five years. Sana was everything: cunning, mature beyond her years, and completely indifferent to him. Through Instagram messages and awkward video calls, Ayaan poured out his heart-but the words never came out right. Every rejection made him angrier. Every 'you're like a brother' cut deeper. And when she finally said yes, it was only because her real choice had failed. Fighting anger issues, crippling communication problems, and a faith slowly slipping away, Ayaan learns the hardest lesson of all: you cannot make someone love you, no matter how perfectly you craft the message. A raw, honest story about South Indian Muslim youth navigating love, family expectations, mental health, and the devastating cost of loving someone who was never yours to love.

    She Changed Her Name is a novel set in the 1990s, exploring identity, reinvention, and the quiet resilience of women living on the margins. When Dot, in her early forties, walks away from her life without telling a soul, she isn't running toward something-she's simply disappearing. As she adopts a new name and slips into obscurity, she meets other women who have remade themselves in the face of loss, violence, or disillusionment. Their fragmented stories echo her own, forcing her to confront the truth she's been avoiding: that losing herself may be the only way to find something real.

    When two men accidentally stumble into something that looks suspiciously like emotional intimacy, chaos ensues. "Please Don't Say You Love Me" is a sharp, funny, unexpectedly sincere satire about love, the bureaucratic nightmare of feelings, and the hilariously quiet panic that happens when someone actually sees your soul. Tender, awkward, and painfully human.

    When Elara Vance, a tenacious American scholarship student, arrives at the historic St. Valerian's College in Cambridge, she expects a quiet life of academic rigor. Instead, she steps into a gothic nightmare. Her roommate, the charismatic but unstable Cecily Moore, vanishes into the fog, leaving behind only a hollowed-out copy of *Paradise Lost* containing a cryptic diary known as the "Black Ledger." Dismissed by the police and gaslit by the college's aristocratic Literature Chair, Professor Julian Thorne, Elara begins her own investigation. She uncovers the existence of the "Corvid Club," a decades-old secret society of elite students who believe that true art requires the visceral experience of death. From the flooded tunnels beneath the city to the dizzying heights of the college spire, Elara must navigate a labyrinth of privilege, poetry, and murder. Racing against a powerful conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of the British government, she must decide how far she is willing to dig to bury the truth-before she becomes the next sacrifice.

    In the wake of a single, bloody night that stole her childhood, Gwen's world is reduced to two absolute truths: the enduring love for her younger sister, and a vow of vengeance etched in ash and memory. Haunted by the enigmatic shadow of a woman known as ash-the stranger who slipped a blade into her hand and vanished-Gwen must forge herself into a weapon. As she navigates a ravaged, secretive landscape where ordinary lives are meticulously secluded from hidden perils, her quest for answers becomes a journey into the heart of a profound darkness. This is a story of trauma forged into resilience, of myth born from survival, and the relentless pursuit of justice in a world where the line between protector and predator is as thin as the edge of a knife. A literary dark fantasy that explores the weight of memory, the legacy of violence, and the fierce, unbreakable bonds that define us.
