Aching with the phantom touch of a love unspoken, Violet Clayton returns to her hometown, her heart a dusty attic of longing. Seven years have passed, each one etched with silent sighs for Kenneth Andrews, the town's golden boy. His name, a whisper on her lips, never daring to reach his ears, forever tuned to another's tune.
Her life, a watercolor painted in the delicate hues of friendship and family, holds the faintest brushstrokes of unrequited dreams. Two cherished friends, their laughter a balm to her unspoken wounds, and a cozy family, their warmth a flickering candle against the darkness of his absence.
Kenneth, a sculpted marble statue draped in sunlight and wealth, remains an impossible ideal. His smile, a sunbeam stolen by another. His gaze, a distant galaxy she can only admire from afar.
But fate, a mischievous artist with a paintbrush dipped in starlight, throws a splash of crimson onto her canvas. A new love, a budding rose blooming in the shadows of her past. Yet, its thorny stem brushes against the faded portrait of him, her first love, a ghost refusing to be exorcised.
Torn between the whispers of the past and the siren song of the present, Violet stands at a crossroads. Will she rewrite her heart's story, painting over the grayscale of unrequited love with vibrant hues of a new dawn? Or will the echo of his name forever drown out the whispers of a future painted not for him, but for her?

The One My Heart Remembers
When her family left for a long business voyage, they sent her to stay with an old family friend tucked away in the gentle hills of Virginia. She agreed, though her heart wavered- because the boy who once held her gaze like the sun holds the morning mist, the boy she had loved in silence and remembered in secret, was the son of that family friend. Years had passed, but the memory of his smile still lived in the corners of her heart. She wasn't ready to see him again... but fate doesn't wait for readiness-it simply leads us back to the people we never stopped longing for.❤️❤️❤️Complete

The Chaos We Called LOVE
In a cold city, on a rain-soaked day, two warm-hearted souls collide - and their first meeting is anything but gentle. He's handsome, charming, and adored - the national heartthrob and current chocolate boy of the Indian cricket team. Cricket is his first love, the only rhythm he's ever lived by. Until he meets her. She's the queen of her own world - a renowned CEO and CTO of one of India's most prestigious companies. A psychologist by birth and a technologist by heart, she believes in logic over love, in purpose over passion. To her, love is a myth... until destiny proves otherwise. If even their best friends carry such magnetic energy, imagine the storm when these two worlds collide. Have you ever believed in love at first sight? That rare, 90's kind of love we all secretly long for in the 21st century - the kind that feels impossible... until it happens. But what if it happens between two high-profile lives standing under different skies? He's the man every camera follows, yet haunted by one face. She's the woman the world admires, yet unknown in her own heart. Will he wait for the one who slipped away? Will she ever remember the man who changed her silence? Can love survive fame, distance, and reason itself? Sometimes, love doesn't arrive politely - it storms in, unexpected, uninvited, unforgettable. This is the story of a national hero and a soft-spoken, introverted psychologist-turned-tech leader - two opposites who weren't searching for love, but found it in the chaos of silence. Their fates crossed once in the rain. What follows is everything that silence never dared to say.

Holding On to Silence Until; You Came Along
This is the story Crowded Silence, but in the male lead's POV, but can be read as standalone too. *** Having had to live without a mother is no less than experiencing the harshness of a Warfield, except here the war is with your own self and life. When he was three, he lost her and the newborn, whom he yearned to hear the word 'brother' from. His father is all he has left, a loving uncle to remind him of his mother, an aunt who tries her best to give him motherly affection and a cousin to remind that he's still an elder. School was good, besides that he didn't have any close friends, except for the one who cared for him, but hanging out with and around him wasn't possible at times, as he was our guy's senior. Being the school's hot jock, girls did try to get him to look at them, but he wasn't interested. He wanted to be loved, not used just so they'd say they spent a night with the school's most popular guy. Let's see what life throws at him and how he tackles it with what it has already taught him.

The Ones we Shouldn't Love: ACT I
It starts fast-like lightning striking dry earth. What begins as a spark becomes a fire neither of them can contain. It's the kind of love that keeps you up at night, wide-eyed and breathless, not out of fear, but because you can't bear to miss a single moment. It bruises the heart in places no one sees, but never breaks it-never harms it. Just leaves fingerprints, soft and lingering. Leaving would be easier if love ever truly left. But it doesn't. It lingers in the walls, in the sheets, in the silence between words. One heart clings to memory, loving what was. The other leans into the unknown, loving what might be. And somewhere in between, love becomes a duty-an unspoken promise, heavy and unshakable. All she wants is quiet now. Not the silence of loneliness, but the stillness of peace. A place where her heart doesn't have to choose between two kinds of love-only rest in the safety of her own.

"Ow! My face!" I whined. "Didn't think you would be falling for me already." A husky, rich and velvety voice came. I opened my eyes. I saw feet and followed the feet up to a face. Deep brown eyes searched my soul and dark brown hair flipped as a hand ran through them. I hadn't realized I was staring, much less at his face. "Like what you see, Lee?" He smirked with a wink. "I'm sorry, who are you and no." I glared and frowned. He gaped, "You don't know who I am?" "Are you deaf? I just asked who you are?!" His gape turned into a smirk. "All the more fun. I know more then you think, princess." His eyes held many levels of mischief. "So, you gonna tell me, or should I walk away now?" I glanced at the snack table, hoping he would catch on. "Sassy! I like it." His smirk widened, "Now princess, my name is Clayton, Clayton Smith." _________________________________________________________________________________ Monica Lee is a 16 year old Junior.
