I understood him, yet at the same time, I couldn't...
But he understood me, more than I understood myself.
He was a mystery that would always put a smile on my face; a mystery I was alright not solving. When I looked at him, like really looked at him, I could see all the passion, all the hurt, and all the joy he put into every key on the piano he played, in every cord on the violin, in every word he wrote on a page.
And he was mine...
What do I have now? A silent piano, and a wordless page.

She met him at a coffee shop. And her whole world changed.
Perri was an artist, drawing whatever story wandered into her soul; Liam was a violinist, pianist and poet, who was always creating, in the silence and in the chaos.
She was loud; he was shy
She didn't take no for an answer; he did
She hated sad music; he lived for it
She never wanted to love someone again; he believed he couldn't be fully loved

REDRAWN BY FATE
Once, there was a boy who loved with all his heart. A love so simple, so pure - the kind that blooms in school corridors and ends with promises written in notebooks. He was a boy who longed for the love he lost - a father gone too soon, a heart half-empty. And when she came, he finally felt safe. But safety turned into fear... Fear of losing her, fear that his love itself was a curse. His love grew possessive - and her wings broke beneath it. One day, she left forever... And with her, she took the last piece of him. Years later, he married - not for love, but for duty. A woman who deserved the world... but was tied to a man whose heart belonged to a grave. Now, two souls live under one roof - one haunted by the past, and the other punished for a love she never received. This isn't a tale of love found - it's a story of love surviving - in silence, in distance, in pain.
Healer of BROKEN HEART❤️🩹
She was just a girl in 9th grade when she fell in love-pure, real, and all-consuming. But one cruel misunderstanding, planted by a third person, tore their beautiful bond apart. That heartbreak didn't break her... it transformed her. Into an author-one who hides her scars in her stories. And then there's him-the cold, powerful Asian Mafia King who rose to the top at a shockingly young age. Love never touched him. Emotions never moved him. Until one day, he picked up a story. Her story. And became obsessed-not with the plot, but with the woman behind those bleeding words. He wasn't broken. But for her... he became the healer she never knew she needed. Two lives. One past. One story that changed everything. What happens when her pen meets his world of power and darkness?
The Bodyguard's Undoing
She loved him in silence for ten years. Not the kind of silence that fades into forgetfulness, but the kind that hums beneath every breath, every glance, every reckless tease. Nyx Ashton danced along the edge of propriety, never crossing the line-but always daring him to notice. Her family's bodyguard, stoic and unreadable, was the only man who ever made her feel seen and invisible all at once. She thought she understood him. Thought he understood her. Until one night shattered the illusion. A night she'd dreamed of, longed for, and finally claimed-only to wake with a heart splintered by misunderstanding. She believed he belonged to someone else. A family. A life she could never touch. So she did the only thing she knew how to do: she ran. Four years passed. Four years of exile, of trying to forget, of pretending she hadn't left her heart behind in his quiet hands. But love, once rooted, does not die easily. It waits. It aches. It becomes a ghost that follows you across oceans. Now she's back. And he's still there. Watching. Waiting. Wounded. He never understood why she left. Why the warmth in her eyes turned cold. Why the girl who once dared to love him now speaks with practiced indifference. He had feelings-buried, conflicted, restrained by duty and difference. But he indulged her, trusted her, believed in the boundary she never crossed. Until she did. Now, she's slipping away again. And this time, he might not let her go. They were never built on honesty. Never brave enough to speak the truth. But beneath the silence, beneath the pain, something still pulses-wild and fragile.Complete
TANGLED FATE
He was a man of cold words and quieter wounds, a celebrated author who stitched stories for the world, but never believed in the tale of love himself.

Ocean Orbs
He was the silent prince of her chaos. She was the unexpected melody in his mute life. She fell for the eyes he desperately hid. He loved the girl who didn't know his identity.To her, they were the calm ocean amidst the chaos. To him, they were a painful mistake. A tragic marriage history of her sister made her hate love. Engineering success was her only future. Expectations bound her. A scholar who was tired of speaking. A prince who was unable to speak. Their silent gaze made them want to speak again. Their shared silence became their only connection. Her voice was ignored. His was broken. The only thing louder than their silence was the truth behind their unspoken stare. She chose silence because no one listened. He chose silence because he lost his voice. Could they hear the truth in each other's eyes?
The Shadows Of Illusions
She carries scars no one sees. He carries secrets no one survives. When their paths collide, it isn't fate-it's a collision of two broken histories trying to rewrite themselves. She's spent years running from the shadows of her past, the memories that claw at her mind when the world goes quiet. He's spent just as long hiding behind masks, illusions, and the lies he tells to keep everyone at a distance. But the closer they get, the more their pasts begin to unravel-thread by dangerous thread. Every touch feels like a promise. Every silence feels like a confession. Every truth they uncover threatens to destroy the fragile bond forming between them. Because loving him means facing the darkness he's buried. And loving her means confronting the ghosts she's never escaped. Together, they must decide whether their love can survive the weight of the illusions around them... or whether their pasts will pull them back into the shadows for good.
A HEARTBEAT IN THE SILENCE
Love story of fate and forgiveness, where two souls are destined to find each other-but risk being torn asunder by the silence of what remains unspoken-in a world made up of whispers and secrets. An introverted and contemplative artist who quits the noise of his past to settle in a mist-shrouded town stumbles into Yuki, a girl with a gentle spirit and tormenting silence in her eyes, whose world clashes with his, and they are stuck by an unspoken bond and a lingering sorrow that neither can quite define. It is as if, the closer he gets, the more sensitive Kai becomes to some sort of invisible string that ties him to her and pulsates within the quiet which pushes him to discover a truth he can feel but not see. But Yuki holds a secret tied in memory-a memory Kai cannot reach, and Yuki cannot let go. In a heart-wrenching journey through vivid dreams, forgotten letters, and the echoes of a lost love, Kai and Yuki find themselves bound in a past they don't remember, yet one that refuses to let them go. Each heartbeat draws them closer to a revelation that could heal their broken souls or shatter the fragile hearts. Is it powerful enough to overcome the silences of life, or will the truth that seems to exist within their hearts prove too great for them to face? It is in this journey that 'A Heartbeat in the Silence is an emotional masterpiece that will pull at your heartstrings and leave you wondering how far you would go for a love that exists between the heartbeats of memory and silence.Complete

Storms of the heart ♥️
His betrayal was the storm that could have drowned her, but instead, it awakened the fire she never knew she carried. He expected her tears- but she didn't shed a single one. He expected her to plead- but she gave him nothing except a cold, final silence. He expected her to break- but she walked away with her head high, leaving him to realize the weight of what he threw away. And when she stepped out of his life, she stepped into a world where her love was not taken for granted- into the arms of a man who understood loyalty, valued respect, and knew how to hold a woman like her... not as a possession, but as a partner. She didn't lose him. He lost her. And she found someone far more capable of loving the storm in her heart.Complete
Karma's Heart
Karma's Heart is a slow burn, emotionally charged love story between two opposites who clash, combust, and slowly come undone in each other's orbit. Pelo moved into the apartment complex for peace, not problems. Especially not ones like Karma-a shirtless, smug, maddening neighbour who insists on touching her boundaries and tipping her world off balance. She's prickly. He's persistent. But what begins as tension, irritation, and barbed banter evolves into something layered and tender: stolen glances, slow confessions, unspoken knowing. Through sickness and missteps, dreams and doorsteps, arguments and almosts, they learn what it means to choose each other. Over and over. To hold space. To rebuild trust. To stay soft in a world that made them hard. Because sometimes love doesn't arrive gently. Sometimes, it knocks like consequence- But stays like heart. --- OPENING LINES (Draft): Pelo didn't like people. She especially didn't like him. The first time Karma touched her, she recoiled like he'd passed a live wire to her skin. Germs, she told herself. But it wasn't just that. It was the way his hand lingered. The way he looked at her like he already knew how the story would go. And she hated that. Because she had moved here for peace. Not for a man with tattoos, trouble in his grin, and a voice that could talk her into bad decisions if she stood too close too long. Not for someone who made her say please in her head when she didn't want him to follow, and made her scream into pillows when he did. But Karma never asked for permission. And the worst part? A small, buried part of her didn't want him to. #1 poeticlove #1 steamymoments #1 blackwomenlead #3 touchstarved #1 softmasculinity #1 blackgirlmagic
