    ​She grows up poor. Quiet. Unclaimed. ​Her mother died early, leaving behind nothing but the knowledge of how to stay small. Her father existed only as a hollow space in their lives. An absence that ate their food and sat between them at night. In their world of thin walls and counted coins, silence was the only thing that kept them alive. ​On her nineteenth birthday, a door finally opens. ​Her father takes her from a life of borrowed rooms and empty cupboards into a house built on marble and restraint. It is a place of locked wings and rules spoken without warmth. She is not a daughter here; she is the proof of a past mistake. She is the child who should have stayed invisible. ​The woman who runs the house sees her too clearly. She meets the girl's presence with a resentment that cuts deeper than cruelty, a silence sharper than any scream. Every cold glance is a reminder: you are what he wants to forget. ​This story is about what happens when poverty teaches you how to disappear. It is about the heavy, aching truth of living in a world where fairness was never promised. ​And it is about the most dangerous thing of all: loving someone you know you cannot have. Not loudly. Not bravely. But carefully. In the tiny, jagged pieces you keep hidden beneath your skin. ​If you have ever learned to survive by staying small, this story sees you. ​If you have ever loved from a distance because wanting more felt like a threat, this story understands you. ​The Mistress's Daughter is a dark, quiet novel about the cost of being born where you were never meant to belong and the strength it takes to exist anyway.

    [7 Rings Squad Series #1] Jeremiah Constantine Marquez has always known how to stand tall. He learned discipline young. He learned control early. He learned how to keep moving, even when life takes more than it gives back. But even the strongest people discover that there is a difference between surviving and living... between holding things together and finally letting yourself feel... between being strong alone and being strong with someone beside you. This is the story of a man who doesn't fall apart- he learns how to exist fully, beautifully, and honestly, without needing to hide his heart anymore. _________________________ A New Adult coming-of-age story about identity, healing, and emotional resilience. This story explores themes of emotional abandonment, internalized pain, religious conflict, and quiet psychological distress. It does not depict graphic harm, but it portrays prolonged emotional heaviness. Reader discretion is advised.

    Aurie Suarez looks like she has everything figured out. Online, her life is carefully curated - soft smiles, morning skies, coffee cups, and captions about growth and gratitude. She's admired, praised, and envied. People tell her she's strong. Successful. Lucky. But between the likes and the silence, Aurie is quietly falling apart. Behind closed doors are unanswered questions, crushing expectations, and a loneliness she doesn't know how to explain-let alone admit. Every "I'm okay" is a lie she's learned to say too well. Every post hides a truth she's terrified to share. As the pressure builds and the cracks begin to show, Aurie is faced with a choice: keep living as the version of herself everyone loves, or risk losing everything by finally being honest. Between Likes and Silence is a story about invisible struggles, the weight of pretending, and what happens when being seen online doesn't mean being known at all.

    Three broken souls. One small town. A thousand unspoken secrets. Aurelia hides her pain behind perfect smiles, Aveline hides her past behind silence, and Axel hides his heart behind music. None of them planned to meet-but when their worlds collide, the cracks they've buried for years begin to surface. Together, they'll learn that sometimes the hardest part isn't facing the truth...it's letting someone else see it.

    A story about holding on when no one asked you to. He didn't stop loving me with a goodbye. He just... stopped showing up. No slammed doors. No final words. Just silence - and stickers. And a cup he still uses every day. The one I sent him when I still believed I mattered. This is not a love story. It's a story about presence. About naming someone who no longer names you back. About staying soft even when they forget the weight of your softness. Written as a mirror - not a diary. This book is for the people who stayed: When no one asked you to. When no one noticed you did. When no one remembered how much it cost you. Each chapter is a quiet ache. Each word is a step toward letting go - without leaving. A slow unraveling of what it means to stay loyal to someone who already let go. If you've ever named someone with your whole heart... and watched them treat it like a sticker - this story is yours. And maybe... theirs too. Even if they never realize it.

    Some stories are loud. This one isn't. It's told in pauses, in conversations that end a little too soon, in words chosen carefully so nothing breaks. Two teenagers grow close in the most ordinary ways-late replies, shared silence, the comfort of being understood without explanation. Nothing is ever said outright. But something is always there. As the chapters pass, moments begin to repeat themselves: the hesitation, the change of subject, the sentence that almost goes somewhere else. And slowly, it becomes clear-this isn't a story about falling in love. It's about everything they never let themselves say. Guys this is just a random story because well I yearn for someone to love me and I'm lonely also I don't know what I'm doing and I'm doing this like at 4 am

    Isang dalaga, si fifthteen harly de reyes, ang nakatagpo ng matangkad, maputi, gwapo at matipunong lalaki, palagi sya nitong sinusundan, minsan ay nagtatanong sya kung san sya nakatira, anong pangalan nya o anong nangyari sakanya. Ngunit ang binata ay walang maalala, parang bata ang kilos, inosente, at laging nakangiti. Kahit di niya kilala, inalagaan parin sya ni fifthteen. Ngunit sino ba talaga ang taong ito? Isa bang inosenteng naligaw ng tadhana? O may tinatakasang nakaraan? Bakit ba ganito ang pag-aalala ko sa kanya? Tama ba na patuloy ko siyang alagaan, kahit hindi ko alam kung sino talaga siya? Bakit ako natatakot kapag iniisip kong baka bigla siyang umalis kapag bumalik ang kanyang alaala? Sobrang daming gumugulo sa isip ko... pero malilimutan mo rin ba ang bawat araw na ikaw at ako lang ang magkasama?

    Truth wears many masks. So do we. This is a collection for the misunderstood, the misjudged, and the ones you never saw coming. A girl who hates rice. A child who whispers into the minds of adults. A bath that reveals more than dirt. A warm meal that means the world to someone. A kindness mistaken for cruelty-or the other way around. Each story stands alone. Each one hides a different kind of truth. Some might hurt. Some might heal. But none of them are what you think.

    Some heartbreaks are loud. This one isn't. Set between the moment everything breaks and the moment practical life takes over, The Silence Between Us captures the days when words stop coming, and distance settles in. No arguments. No resolutions. Just the ache of what's been said already - and everything left unsaid. This story explores the quiet aftermath of love strained too far, where absence speaks louder than anger and silence becomes its own kind of answer. A character-driven moment within the Hiddles-verse, focused on emotional distance, restraint, and the fragile space before everything changes.

Told in six quiet pieces, this poetic journey follows one heart's attempt to give everything it is... even when it doesn't fit. For anyone who's ever offered too much, and still hoped to be seen.

    He grew up in the passenger seat of a worn-out taxi. Now he's driving toward the fastest league in the world. In the city of steel and smog, where fame is faster than truth, a boy chasing the memory of his father finds himself racing for more than money or glory. Illegal streets, underground fame, broken friendships - and a league where speed is survival. But the higher he rises, the deeper the secrets run. And when the past catches up, it won't be the finish line he has to cross - it'll be the line between loyalty and betrayal. 🏁 Speed built his dream. The streets built his soul. But what if the system he races for... is the one that destroyed everything?
