Embracing The Past
"I'm not afraid of love. I'm just scared it'll come wearing the same face as the one that broke me." Sanjana was once the girl everyone whispered about - the one whose secrets got turned into gossip, whose silence was mistaken for madness. Now in college, she's rebuilding. A long-term boyfriend. Loyal best friends. A new life that's quieter, safer. But just as she starts to believe she's finally moved on, the past begins to echo again - through distance, doubts, and a fading kind of love. And then someone new steps in. Kind. Unexpected. Steady in all the ways she didn't know she needed. But falling again feels dangerous - especially when the heart still remembers how it broke the first time. In a story about healing, heartbreak, and second chances, Sanjana must decide: do you protect the heart, or risk it... again?

Scars and Maybes
Wounds heal, but scars remain. So even with the possibility that one can accept and move forward, it's impossible to forget. Because there will always be an irremovable mark that will remind you of every bit of pain. Growing up without a mother was Zarih's first heartache. It scarred her more than anything else. She sees how her dad grieves for her mom all the time-even after years-and it breaks her. When Zarih learned about the possibility that she might have inherited her mother's heart disease, she knew she couldn't afford to love because she wouldn't want anyone to suffer at her death. She wouldn't want to love someone just to wound him at the end. It was easy not to fall in love, only if Ace Timotheo Salvador, her summer enemy, didn't dare touch her scars... as if they were the most beautiful parts of her existence. Zarih feels like losing it... She wants to love and be loved. Maybe he can heal her scars. Maybe their story is different from her dad's. Maybe they can have a happy ending. Or maybe... She should've not risked it at all. Maybe she could've not scarred her heart more. Finished: July 21, 2022Complete
