More Than Words
He's guarded, the kind of man who keeps his heart locked behind walls no one has ever climbed. But the moment he heard her voice, something shifted. It wasn't love at first sight... it was love at first sound. A pull he couldn't explain. A certainty he didn't trust. She's always lived with her guard up too. Life has already broken her in the worst ways, leaving her convinced that some wounds never heal. Loving someone again was never part of her plan. But then she met him. With him, the fear faded. With him, she felt seen, loved, safe. For the first time in a long time, she let herself fall... fully, recklessly, purely. Two guarded hearts. One unexpected connection. And sometimes the most extraordinary love stories begin in the most unusual ways, with a voice, a spark, and the courage to believe in something More Than Words.

What Could Have Been
synopsis: they were once together, happier than anything. They were everything to each other-until life forced them apart. One had to let go, though their heart never truly wanted to. Years passed, but the memories never once faded. When fate unexpectedly brings them together again, it should have been a moment of reunion, of the long-lost words that could finally be spoken. But instead, he stands before her, fingers intertwined with another girl's hand.
ARDOR OF HEART
#𝟮 𝗢𝗙 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗧 𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗦. 𝗝 𝗔 𝗬 𝘅 𝗦 𝗠 𝗘 𝗥 𝗔 In a world where heartbreak stacks itself higher than hope, fate somehow threads together two souls who were never meant to cross paths-yet desperately needed to. Smera Joshi has spent her whole life flinching from the idea of love. A childhood fractured by a father who taught her the wrong kind of fear left her wary of every man who tried to step close. She trusts her work, her silence, her own two hands-nothing else. Jay Gupta, on the other hand, is soft where she is guarded. His heart carries the quiet ache of a love that never loved him back, a wound left behind by the one person he trusted most-his best friend. Now he walks carefully, afraid to offer his heart to someone who might drop it again. When Smera and Jay collide, it isn't dramatic-it's subtle. A spark. A gentle shift. The kind of connection that grows before either of them even notices. Slowly, Jay finds himself drawn to her-admiration melting into something deeper, warmer, terrifyingly real. And Smera, despite every wall she's built brick by brick, starts seeing him as the one man who doesn't frighten her... the one she wants to trust. She finally opens her heart-for him, only him. Two wounded hearts. One unexpected bond. A slow-burning unraveling of walls neither believed would ever fall. But when she steps toward him, brave and trembling...will Jay open his bruised heart to her too? Or will the fear of breaking again make him pull away-the moment she finally chooses him?
