Behind The Smile
Introduction "I didn't know you were holding so much behind that smile." Lia's world was a fragile one, built on cracks formed long ago. Her childhood was a battlefield she never signed up for, leaving her with scars no one could see. To others, she seemed ordinary-just another girl navigating life with a shy smile and quiet demeanor. But beneath that facade, she carried the weight of her loneliness and the chaos of her mind. Friends surrounded her, yet she always felt alone, yearning for someone who could truly understand her, someone she could trust with the pieces of her broken soul. On the other side of town was Troy, a boy who once thrived on attention and shallow connections. His charm was his weapon, and his reputation as a playboy made him the envy of many. But behind the smirk and the easy confidence lay a heart bruised by betrayal. A complicated past relationship had shaken his faith in love, leaving him guarded and distant. He wanted to believe in the possibility of connection, to open his heart again, but something always held him back. He needed love, not in the fleeting, superficial way he once knew, but something real-something that could mend the cracks inside him. When fate brought them together, Lia was at her lowest, her walls crumbling under the weight of her pain. For Troy, her vulnerability was both frightening and magnetic, stirring feelings he thought he had buried. In her, he saw a reflection of his own struggles, and in him, she found a flicker of hope she didn't dare believe in. Their meeting was not a coincidence-it was the beginning of a story that would test the limits of trust, resilience, and the transformative power of love. Would they be able to pull each other from the shadows, or would their broken pieces cut too deep? Their journey had only just begun, and everything was about to change.

"I thought you really liked me." She whispered with moist hazel eyes and despair. His heart spasmed at the view, seeing how hurt she is. For a moment or two his steal gray eyes filled with solicitude for her which he immediately brushed off as his ego and self-esteem overpowered his mind. He chuckled softly taking slow predatory steps towards her. "Oh darling! I never thought you to be this immature. I just manipulated you to think that way. Only thing I feel for you is lust and vengeance." With smirk on his face he approached her slowly yet in long strides. She stepped back with fear written all over her face till her back hit the wall.Complete
Illumined Desires
"He looked at her like he just realized what love is." ✮ ⋆ ˚｡𖦹 ⋆｡°✩ "Can I..." I hesitated for a moment, but because it's the one thing I needed most, I pushed through, "will you just hold me for a minute." He didn't hesitate and tugged me against his chest. His arms wrapped tightly around me, and then I felt his breaths warming the top of my head. Slowly, I turned my cheek, and then I listened to his steady heartbeat. I shoved all my fear, my confusion, and my uncertain feelings for him aside and allowed myself to be weak. I closed my eyes, and grabbing hold of his sides, I fisted the fabric of his shirt. Before the tears come, I pulled away from him but he took one look at my face then yanked me back to him. Emotions whirled in my chest, and then a new one joined the chaos. Affection. It's as if he knows exactly what I need without me having to say a word. He pressed kisses against my hair, his voice an anchor that kept me from drowning as he murmured, "It's okay, love." Another kiss, and his arms clamped tightly around me. "You have me."Complete
