She had the brains, the beauty, and a heart that could move mountains-but love? That's where Cassidy lost her way.

Behind the quiet strength and perfect smile was a woman hopelessly in love- the kind who walks barefoot on a path of thorns, who plants herself in the cracks of concrete, who keeps her light burning even in the fiercest storms.

They say white tulips symbolize purity and selfless love- ever-blooming even when neglected, gentle yet enduring. And Cassidy, in all her quiet devotion, was just that.

But how long can a heart keep fighting when it's never been held? How much more can she give, when she's already laid herself bare, served on a silver platter?

Only when those moments turned to memories then he realized.. 

The chase was never hers.

Hearts in Contract by _loveyanaaa

A ruthless CEO. A struggling student. A contract that was never supposed to mean anything more. But what happens when lines blur and emotions get in the way? Will they walk away unscathed, or will they end up breaking the very rules they swore to follow? ____________________________________________________________________ Jean-Martin Ferrer has spent his life building an empire. His ruthless efficiency has earned him both admiration and fear. With no patience for distractions-especially love-he sees relationships as nothing more than liabilities. But when his grandfather's will drops an ultimatum-marry or lose everything-Jean-Martin suddenly finds himself cornered by the very thing he's always avoided. Natalie Francisco is barely holding it together. By day, she's a student. By night, she juggles multiple part-time jobs-barista, tutor, waitress-anything to keep the lights on and food on the table. But no matter how hard she works, it's never enough. The debt left by her late mother's illness continues to bury her like quicksand she can't crawl out of. Every missed payment is like a ticking bomb. And when the threats start targeting her family, Natalie knows she's run out of time. Desperation leads her to the last thing she ever thought she'd consider. Becoming an escort. One night. One client. That's all it's supposed to be. But when the door opens, it's not a stranger waiting-it's Jean-Martin Ferrer. The man she never expected to see again.

When the Stars Fade by gemjool

𝑨𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒂 𝑨𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒆 𝑫𝒚-𝑺𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒗𝒂𝒍, the twin who burned too brightly-too fiercely-for her own good. She was the wildfire that refused to be tamed, the golden girl who danced on the edge of chaos with a smile that never wavered. She was loud, passionate, and unstoppable. But even the most radiant stars have shadows, and no one ever asked if she was tired of keeping up the act. Then came 𝒁𝒆𝒌𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑺𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒔 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓-the life of the party, the heartbeat of The Skylines, and the guy who could light up any room just by walking in. He was confident, bold, and reckless in the best way possible. If Astrielle was a wildfire, Zekian was the storm that kept it alive. They were two forces of nature-too much alike, too intense, too uncontrollable. They weren't meant to work. But they did. Until they didn't. Because not all stars are meant to stay in the sky. Some collide. Some explode. Some leave behind a brilliance that lingers long after they're gone. When the weight of expectations and unspoken wounds finally catch up to Astrielle, she faces a terrifying truth-what if she's been shining for everyone else but herself? And when the inevitable fall comes, will Zekian, the boy who has always lived like he has nothing to lose, be the one to catch her? A story of passion, chaos, and the kind of love that refuses to fade, even when the stars do.

That Summer Rain We Didn't Expect (Luna Vista Series #1) by revessurpapier

In the quiet town of Luna Vista, there's an old saying: when it rains during summer, something unforgettable is bound to happen-whether it's beautiful or not. In a cozy coffee shop where the rain always seemed to follow them, something quietly bloomed. It grew with the scent of old books and warm drinks. Like summer itself, brief yet unforgettable, some moments are not meant to be planned but only felt. What began as ordinary days slowly turned into something they never expected. When unexpected rain started to fall, so did things they never prepared for: glances that linger too long, feelings left unspoken, and memories that would never fade. Airielle has always been afraid of being alone, not because she doesn't enjoy the silence, but because of the weight that comes with it. Growing up with wounds she never fully spoke about, she learned to keep her walls high and her heart guarded. But what happens when, during one unexpected summer rain, she's forced to let go of everything she tried so hard to hold on to? Including him. Will she find the courage to face the storm inside her? Or will she have to forget that summer rain they didn't expect just to finally begin healing? Because sometimes, it's the unexpected rain that leaves the deepest mark.

Lost in the Countryside by iamsupearl

Eleanor has always lived a life of privilege. Chauffeured rides, luxury vacations, and a future meticulously planned for her. But when everything crumbles, she does the unthinkable. She runs. With nothing but a duffle bag, a backpack, and a phone she barely wants to use, she escapes to the countryside, far from the city she once called home. Lost in an unfamiliar place where even the language feels foreign, Eleanor must learn to rely on herself and the kindness of strangers. Awkward exchanges with the locals turn into moments of quiet understanding, and the simplicity of rural life offers a peace she never knew she needed. Maybe being lost isn't so bad after all. She never planned to stay forever. This was only supposed to be a temporary escape, a pause before she faced the wreckage of her old life. But then she meets him. A quiet, steady presence in a world that finally makes sense. In his company, she finds laughter in the little things, comfort in shared silences, and a kind of love she never thought she deserved. Just when she starts to believe she has found where she truly belongs, her past catches up with her, forcing her to make an impossible choice. Does she walk away from the life she has built in the countryside and the man who made her feel at home? Or does she stay, even if it means risking everything? How long can she outrun the life she left behind? And what is she really searching for at the end of the road?

She Who Was A He (Hacienda Series #1) by MagnusCactusK

Bawat kirot ay may katumbas na paghihiganti. Yes, every pain demands a payback. That's the first thing I learned when I loved him. Not consciously, not right away-but slowly, in pieces. He taught me how to love. His love was wildfire-reckless, consuming, beautiful in the way it ruined everything. I thought I was lucky to have it. I thought he saw something in me. Maybe he did. Maybe he saw the parts that were already breaking. He taught me how to bend the rules, how to silence the voice in my head that said "this isn't right." With him, right and wrong blurred until they didn't matter. Until all that mattered was staying close enough not to lose him, but distant enough not to drown. And then came pain. He taught me pain in a thousand unspoken ways. In words that stung more than silence. In apologies that came too late. In touches that lingered with regret. And pain... And pain. Again and again No fairy tale. No forever. It was never about soulmates. It was just... a story. A complicated, messy, painful story. But still, I gambled. I bet my heart on something that didn't deserve it. And in the end, that so-called love? It destroyed me. It didn't just break me-it broke everything I cared about. Everyone I loved. It burned through every soft thing I had left inside me. Because that love... Was disastrous. Behind the illusion of love hid everything I was afraid of: pain, betrayal, lies, manipulation. A heartbreak wrapped in promises. A knife dressed like a kiss. But here's what no one tells you: after heartbreak comes something sharper. Stronger. Revenge. And revenge-it's not sweet. It's not cold. It's best served hot. The kind of heat that doesn't ask for closure. It takes it. I, who was a he, now turned into a she. I will serve pain out of pain. Not to mirror the cruelty, but to remind the world: You don't get to hurt someone like me and walk away unburned.

Honne; Tatemae by hannarie_21

"No! Stop!" I could see her fading silhouette. She keeps on walking away just like the way I dreamt of her every night. 'No! Please don't walk away. I need to see your face. I need to know your name. I need to find you.' But I know that it wasn't enough. If there's anything that she's good at, it is into dodging people away. "Please!?" I almost beg. "I need to see you. Just stop." I keep on running and chasing after her. But like in every dreams, she kept on slowly fading away. And I could feel the same emptiness within whenever I've dreamt of this. It starts with her fading hands. Like a human form that's painfully breaking into tiny crystallized pieces that's scattered into thin air, she's dissolving in an incredibly fast-paced. "No. Please don't!" I could feel the tears that's running down on my cheeks as I try to grab her fading hand. "No! No!" As if there's a heavy rock on my chest, my breath starts to heave. I could feel the hollow emptiness within and the contradictory feeling of being crushed beneath.
