Some love stories don't begin with fireworks. They begin with survival. Lara is twenty-four, independent, and quietly strong. Born and raised on Réunion Island, she learned early how to build a life with her own hands-studying finance, working relentlessly, and carving out stability where she could. For four years, she stayed in a relationship that slowly dimmed her light, until an unexpected opportunity pulled her across the ocean to Australia-and finally, toward freedom. Jaden is twenty-seven, Australian with Mauritian roots, and grounded in the rhythm of the sea. A restaurant owner by the beach, a surfer, a man who believes life is meant to be lived fully-even when it hurts. He's not perfect. He's made his mistakes, loved the wrong person, and learned to keep moving forward anyway. They meet through friends. They weren't looking for love. But it finds them anyway. A tragedy crashes into their lives, testing not only their love-but their strength, their past wounds, and the question neither of them wants to ask: Is love enough when life refuses to be gentle? This is a story of healing and heartbreak, of choosing yourself and choosing someone else, of learning how to breathe again after everything falls apart. Walk with Lara and Jaden as they navigate loss, resilience, and the fragile beauty of starting over.

⁽Bᴏᴏᴋ 1 ᴏꜰ Sʜᴏʀᴛ Sᴛᴏʀɪᴇs⁾ 𝒜𝓃 𝒪𝓁𝒹-𝓈𝒸𝒽ℴℴ𝓁 ℒℴ𝓋ℯ 𝒮𝓉ℴ𝓇𝓎 Let's travel back to the year 1989, The years when love letters still carried the scent of ink... And every stolen glance weighed heavier than a hundred words. Two hearts learned to beat against the rhythm of expectation. He, molded by discipline and duty. She, woven with faith and quiet rebellion. Between family honor and whispered prayers, between temple bells and city rains, their worlds clashed... collided... and slowly intertwined. This is not just a love story.. it is the memory of an era, of traditions that bound, of choices that freed, of a love too stubborn to fade. What will happen when faith, family, and love collided...

This is my take on V!Scott's backstory-the story we were never fully given. Before the choices, before the blood, before the end everyone remembers, there was Scott: shaped by wealth, expectation, and a world that demanded silence where he felt most deeply. This story follows him alone-his upbringing, his motives, and the quiet reasons behind the man he becomes. When the timeline reaches the events of the original series, the story may expand to include Avid's point of view. The ending will remain mostly true to canon... with one exception. Avid does not stay dead. Because some losses hurt too much to accept-and some stories deserve another breath.
