Have you ever felt another person's emotions? 

Have you ever truly understood the feelings that reside deep within their hearts? 

Born with an ability to feel others emotions with just 3 seconds of eye contact, Aaron lives in the woods with his 'guardian', far away from the city and the people. Frustrated with his powers, he calls it a curse that prevents him from being normal and experiencing his own emotions. 

That is until he meets the only person whose emotions he does not feel, a girl, who ironically begs to be understood and understand others. Obsessed with her, he tries to learn more about her, all the while facing his fears and making new friends.

But when a dead body is discovered by the police, everything they knew and believed comes crashing down.

He brushed his lips against my jaw, his dark hair falling over his brow. "Open your eyes," he commanded. "Look at me." I followed his orders and looked into the raven-black depths before me. I saw my entranced gaze reflected in his glaring one. "Tell me what you see." I kept on looking at him, searching for something, anything, that remained of the person he used to be. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. But his eyes were so dark, so empty . . . "Nothing. I see nothing," I whispered. He smirked, his gaze still on me. He pulled away, leaving me feeling cold. "Exactly. You see nothing - that's because there's nothing there." ** How much can a person change in just three years?

However, when she does finally see him, she's startled to find that he's become an entirely different person.

Despite their differences, both are haunted by dark memories of the past, which form a poisonous bond between Hanna and Rian that neither can escape from. Can they both heal from the scars time left behind, and find love in the process?

Previously known as ' Seeking Truth.' 195/344k In Mystery #17 In Feel #27 In Feel What does a person desire? Money to warm up their pockets? A mansion to live in? Cars to boast off? Servants to look after their needs? If that's what completes a person in themself, then Dinah Donovan had it more then anyone else in the area. She should have been satisfied and arrogant about her possessions. But she was not. In fact, her personality told a completely different story. There, deep in her heart, was an emptiness that could only be fulfilled with one word, four letters and just the most impossible thing to reach out for; Love. Living with her Aunt and Father, she often thought about her life. Nothing would ever form sense. It was as if one side of a picture was stuffed in her brain making it impossible for her to look out for the other side. But Secrets unveiled, hearts broke and the pressure of guilt made it difficult to restrain the tears from falling once she married a man of every woman's dream, Xavier Alfred. Dinah never knew how this handsome young man, carrying his own dark affairs that were yet to be discovered, scooped her off her feet and...threw her into another hellhole. It was then she put together the pieces of puzzle, each that Xavier gave her at the cost of a piece of her self-confidence, that she was finally able to comprehend who were the real people behind the masks. Xavier Alfred, a man of morals. A man who knows the line between wrong and extreme. A well kept and light natured young boy soon learned what the real meaning of his life was. Just one event caused his joyful personality rolling off the cliff and replaced by a more serious, dominating and perhaps, the one which could make your knees go weak. In the journey of Love and Hate, they never quite realised how and when something clicked and when they had started to shield the unwanted feeling that suddenly started to blossom deep in their hearts.

Unspoken Battles

14 parts Ongoing Mature

In a world where her voice is silenced, she stands at the mercy of her family's choices, a puppet bound by invisible strings. Every decision that shapes her future is made for her, leaving her trapped in a life that isn't her own. She dreams of freedom, of the power to steer her destiny, but those dreams are locked away, just beyond her reach. On the other side is a boy who has been betrayed by everyone he once trusted. His heart has hardened, and he has sworn never to believe in anyone again. Haunted by the shadows of betrayal, he walks through life cold and detached, his every step echoing the pain of being let down by those closest to him. Two souls bound by invisible chains, trapped in battles they never chose. She longs for control over her life, while he refuses to let anyone into his. Their paths cross in the unlikeliest of ways, where the weight of their unspoken battles threatens to tear them apart-or bring them together. "Unspoken Battles" is a raw and emotional journey of control, trust, and the search for freedom in a world that keeps taking it away. "If you want to know more about them, then start your journey with me."
