"The question is, once something is ruined or destroyed in some way, is there any hope of bringing it back to what it once was through our determination and best restoration efforts? Or is it pointless to try? Would it be better for us to come to terms with the realization that nothing is permanent and maybe whatever has been left in ruins, has already served its purpose and reached its inevitable outcome?" Professor DuPont asked the class of grad students as he began his lecture.
Michelle pondered what he was saying, and once again was amazed by how he always gave her something to think about; not just about architecture and design and restoration of old structures, but about the world and life itself. She knew she'd learn a lot during her time in Paris, and probably more than she ever expected.

Safe With You
Ivy never expected to fall for her brother's best friend-especially not after everything she'd been through. Shipped off to live with the father who never wanted her, Ivy spent years learning how to survive. But when she returned home broken and bruised, it wasn't her family who saved her. It was Tyler. Her protector. Her safe place. Her Daddy. Now living under the same roof, Ivy and Tyler navigate a fragile, healing love rooted in deep trust and the softest, sweetest version of dominance and submission. Tyler gives Ivy everything she never knew she needed: gentle rules, bedtime snuggles, and unconditional care. In return, she gives him her heart-and her whole self. But the past never stays buried. When a ghost from their history reappears, it threatens everything they've built. Together, they'll face old scars, reclaim their power, and prove that love-especially the kind that's chosen every single day-is the most healing force of all.Complete
Falling Without Landing
Everyone knew him - intelligent, admired, the face of his department. But she never looked his way. Ethan Lao had it all: top of his class, famous among engineering students, and effortlessly charming. Most girls noticed. Lila Santos didn't. Loud, passionate, and laser-focused on her accounting board exam, Lila was the kind of girl who spoke her mind, filled rooms with her energy, and had no time for college crushes. Their worlds crossed through mutual friends, campus visits, and fleeting moments - but she never even knew his name. He sent her Facebook friend requests. Twice. She didn't respond. Then came the pandemic. Life slowed down. Screens lit up. And one day, Ethan saw her again - in a Facebook story. Still vibrant. Still unaware. "Do you think she'd mind if I sent a wave?" he asked. This isn't a story about love that bloomed. It's about admiration left unread. About falling for someone... who never even saw you coming. This is "Falling Without Landing."Complete

Life's Unexpected Turn
When the person you love becomes the one you fear most, survival becomes the only thing that matters. Parker Avery is a creative teacher and talented artist trying to rebuild her life after escaping a past filled with lies, betrayal, and unimaginable abuse. Moving to a new city offers her a chance to breathe again, to rediscover who she is beyond the scars she carries. Bailey Adams is a kindhearted college student who once believed she had the perfect life. But the woman she fell in love with has slowly become someone cruel and dangerous. Trapped in a relationship built on manipulation, fear, and violence, Bailey finds herself losing the person she used to be. When Parker and Bailey's lives unexpectedly cross, neither of them are ready to trust again. Both carry wounds that run deeper than anyone can see, and both fear that happiness may simply be something meant for other people. Yet sometimes healing begins in the most unexpected ways.

Maybe, This Time?
It was a fairytale that never happened. An ending without a "happily ever after" because of not having a "once upon a time". He was afraid of getting hurt. But, he didn't think about the possible "what ifs". She never knew. He thought that it might be impossible for her to feel the same way. She didn't want to assume things. Hoping and assuming without any proof is useless. He decided to walk away to move on from this feeling he has towards her. She got heartbroken. He did too; even regrets it. She thought she'd move on after these years. Apparently, it was too hard for her. He didn't know where to find her; even contact her. But still, got scared; until now. But, he left a clue where to find him if ever she wishes to. It's up to her if she can find him. Maybe, this time, they could finally have the "happily ever after" they've been dreaming of since then? ------- STARTED : 29 JULY 2016 ENDED : 15 NOVEMBER 2016 Copyright, ⓒmissnd21Complete
