After an unexpected discharge from the military, Han Seol returns home with no clear direction for his future. Withdrawn and soft-spoken, he takes over his family's painting business, preferring the quiet rhythm of brushes on canvas to the noise of the outside world. Though his talent is undeniable, Han Seol struggles to step beyond the walls he has built around himself. His world shifts when he encounters Seok Hoon, the charismatic and extroverted star musician of the prestigious REONA School of Music. Known for his magnetic stage presence and radiant energy, Seok Hoon lives in a whirlwind of sound and admiration, a sharp contrast to Han Seol's solitude. When their paths cross-through an unexpected commission that brings Seok Hoon into the painting studio-the two men discover that opposites can create harmony. As Seok Hoon draws Han Seol out of his shell, Han Seol, in turn, offers Seok Hoon a quiet refuge from the pressures of fame. But as their relationship deepens, both must confront personal fears and the weight of their pasts. In the collision of silence and music, restraint and expression, they may find not only healing-but also love.

At just twenty-four, Malika Aaliyah El-Amin is already the most celebrated OB-GYN on the continent. Brilliant, stunning, and unapologetically sassy, she's a woman who commands respect in every room she enters. The press calls her a prodigy. Her colleagues whisper about her meteoric rise. Men chase her, only to be cut down with a sharp smile. But behind her flawless confidence is a past she's never forgiven herself for. Because once, Malika gave everything-her heart, her trust, her body-to a man who was never truly hers. In the end, he didn't choose her. Zane Ainsworth's family had chosen another. That rejection carved deep scars that success alone can't erase, and she swore she would never again let love make her weak. Enter Xavier Alfonso De La Vega-the dark, magnetic owner of the De La Vega empire. Dangerous, impossibly charismatic, and relentless, Xavier has lived his entire life getting exactly what he wants. And what he wants now is Malika. Not for her beauty, not for her brilliance, not even for the fire in her-though he worships all of it. Xavier wants her because she is his match, the only woman who has ever made him ache, burn, and bleed. To the world, Xavier is ruthless. To Malika, he is infuriating, impossible to ignore, and far too determined for her carefully constructed walls to withstand. He doesn't just love her-he is obsessed. And Xavier De La Vega doesn't lose. Ever. But enemies gather in the shadows. Old ghosts claw their way back into Xavier's life. And when the past collides with the dangerous empire Xavier rules, Malika realizes the risk isn't just her heart anymore. Loving him could cost her everything-her career, her freedom, even her life. Still... when Xavier is near, when his devotion blazes hotter than the threats closing in, Malika has to ask herself the one question she's always run from: Is it better to live safe behind walls of steel- Or to fall, recklessly and completely, into the arms of Xavier Alfonso De La Vega?

During the 13th century, an angel was sent to Earth in the form of a man with a sacred purpose. Unable to comprehend that foreign world, he was rejected and despised by those around him. Until, unexpectedly, he met Escarlet-a brave and compassionate woman who offered him her help. By her side, he began to understand what it means to be human and to discover the world that surrounded him. In time, a feeling was born within him-stronger than anything celestial-confronting him with an inner conflict: to fulfill the purpose for which he was created, or to renounce it and choose his own destiny beside her. Unbeknownst to him, an even greater trial awaited him...

I didn't lose because I failed, but because I never tried. A realistic piece about fear, postponement, and a life left suspended.

Isang babaeng lumaki sa piling ng mga taong hindi niya kadugo. Lumaki ng walang paggabay ng magulang. Lumaki siyang walang kamalayan sa kung anong klase ng tao ang mga magulang niya, kung sino ang mga ito, kung buhay pa ba o isa nalamang nakaraan at ala ala. Nabubuhay sa kasalukuyang mundo na puno ng kasinungalingan. Pinagkaitan ng katotohanan. Ikinukubli sa ka reyalidad ng buhay. Tanging ang pagiging positibo sa buhay ang sandata. Mababaliktad kaya ang pagiging positibo at magiging dahilan ng pagkawala ng panlaban? O magkakaroon ng karagdagang panangga. Madaming sikretong mabubunyag! Ang kasalukuyan ay patototohanan ng nakaraan!

this is my ideas turned into rhymes and verses.

how can you possibly fall in love if your lover has a split personality...and yourself too?

Jasper's family is pressuring him to get married. Alina wants to go to her homeland. They run away and when challenges arise they get through them together, no matter what. Not good with descriptions so sorry. Themes get dark at times, but nothing to worry about. Characters are beaten down and go through hard times, but that is life.
