almost trilogy #1

Hara Sloane Ynares--a smart, strong-willed girl who always stood her ground--never expected to fall in love with her boy best friend. She was proud, guarded, and used to being in control of her emotions. 

At first, she denied it. She told herself it wasn't real, that it was just a passing feeling. But every time he showed her kindness, every time he chose to stay when he didn't have to, she felt her walls slowly breaking.

Her feelings for him were like Gerberas-gentle yet resilient. They bloomed quietly, even without sunlight. They glowed in the dark, even without being seen. She loved him in silence, with everything she had, even when he kept his distance. Even when he made her feel like she was asking for too much.

Now she wonders: if Gerberas are left unwatered, will they wither away just like her love might? Or will they continue to bloom, even in the middle of a storm, even when it hurts, even when it's slowly dying?All Rights Reserved

Built From Broken by aira_fictionophile

"She wanted peace, he gave her chaos... wrapped in patience, wit, and a pair of damn glasses." Saisha didn't ask for marriage. She wanted freedom, focus, and a life on her terms.

The possessive silence.

Her life had been mostly happy other than when her best friend moved away when she was 10. It took her years to get over that loss. Then several years later, tragedy struck when her father passed away suddenly and Kendall was forced to move with her mom closer to Chicago where she could find a job to support the two of them. Little does Kendall know that she is in for the surprise of a lifetime. From the book.... As he catches up to me, he grabs my arm swings me around and with one swift movement he ushers me into a nearby empty classroom with the lights off. He cages me in against the wall. His close proximity is making me dizzy and my mind is thinking very dirty thoughts. Wait no. I can't think like that anymore. "Kendall." He says hungrily. "You are mine and only mine. You drive me wild and no one else can have you." He says as he attacks my lips. It feels so amazing I can't help but kiss him back. I run my hands through his beautiful hair and he groans into the kiss. Man I don't want this to ever end. I feel drunk on him. I don't think I can let him go. He stops suddenly to finish his thoughts. "No one can make you feel like this. Or kiss you here...." He says as he kisses down my neck. I moan and he smirks pulling his face impossibly close to mine. "..or touch you." He says as he takes his hand and brushes it lightly down my arm and he snakes it back around my back pulling me even closer if that is possible. He finally stops at my ass which he squeezes delightfully and I hum in response. Warning: Contains graphic sexual content. Read at your own discretion. You will not be warned ahead of time.

Iniwan ako ng nanay ko para sa ibang lalaki. At ang tatay ko? Lagi siyang wala. Abala sa trabaho, sa kumpanya, sa kung saan. Hindi niya alam na unti-unti na akong nawawala. Akala ko okay lang maging bastos, sumagot, maglayas, manakit. Akala ko normal lang maging ako-yung walang pakialam. Pero dumating siya. Tahimik. Palaging seryoso. Ayoko sa kanya nung una-masungit, preskong presidente ng school. Pero habang tumatagal, siya 'yung tanging tao na... pinagsabihan ako. Hinintay akong magbago. Tinuruan akong rumespeto. Hindi dahil kailangan-kundi dahil gusto niya akong matutong mahalin ang sarili ko. No one raised me... but you did. And now, I don't know how to live without you.

Rotten Roses by ScrUTny

Zikora Somadina is a twenty-five-year-old author whose words captivate readers across the world, but behind her quiet brilliance lies a heart far more dangerous than most could ever imagine. Lucien Moon, at twenty-nine, is the enigmatic CEO of a powerful biotech and defense empire. To the world, he is untouchable, a man of precision and power. But to Zikora, he is something else entirely, an obsession, a possession, a secret she has no intention of ever letting go. Their paths first crossed eleven years ago, and fate bound them together again three years ago. Through what began as a business partnership. But business quickly gave way to something darker, something personal. Love, if it could be called that, blossomed into something obsessive, intoxicating, and deadly. What looked like a perfect pairing to outsiders was, in truth, a dangerous entanglement between two lovers who mirrored each other's madness. Because not everyone who laughs with you celebrates you. Not every hand extended toward you comes without a knife hidden behind it. In their world, betrayal is inevitable, secrets fester in the shadows, and death is never too far away. Lucien fell first, hard and irrevocably. Zikora followed, but not as the gentle muse people assumed her to be. She was his, fiercely, entirely, and dangerously. Just as he was hers. What they share is not ordinary love, it is possession, a twisted bond where obsession thrives and nothing else matters. But as their empire of passion and power grows, the walls around them begin to crack, revealing truths that will test their devotion in ways neither imagined. In this world, everything is not what it seems. Behind the glamour lies darkness, and behind the smiles lurks betrayal. A story of passion, obsession, secrets, and ruin, where love itself becomes the sharpest weapon of all.

The Men Next Door by wildfirehoney

✅ Complete ✅ When Campbell Kramer accepted a job offer in Manhattan, she never could've imagined what the city had in store for her. Namely, two handsome men who live on either side of her new apartment. One is older, one is younger. One is introverted, one is extroverted. One is serious, one is playful. Both of them want her attention. What could go wrong? ☲☲☲☲☲ ☆Brooks☆ My neighbor was the one to close the distance between us. She did it quickly--like she was scared the moment would pass away forever if she let another millisecond go by--and I rested my hand on the side of her face to steady her. Something about my touch must have given her courage. ♡Campbell♡ The men finally greeted each other while I snipped the green, woody stems and plopped them into the tallest mug I owned. Their sentences were short and awkward, and as I rearranged the blooms for the umpteenth time, the realization that they'd told each other what happened hit me like a south-bound train. I don't know why I didn't expect that. They were best friends, after all. I was just the girl next door. They had no loyalty to me, no reason to keep our time together a secret. ☆Luca☆ Her lips met mine slowly, softly, hesitantly--like she wasn't so sure kissing her neighbor was the best idea--and I responded just as delicately. But when her hand made its way into the back of my hair, our bodies melded together like a lust-struck alloy. And the only hope of separating us was to add more heat. ☲☲☲☲☲ Featured by: 📙 @Wattpad • Love Triangles 💘😈 (July 2025) • Spicy Summer Reads (July 2024) • Endless Reading Mode 🧡 (Jan 2024) • Summer in the City 🥵 (June 2023) 📕 @Romance • Love Triangle (April 2025) • New Adult (June 2024) 📘 @Ambassadors • Hot Encounters (Dec 2024) 📗 @ChickLit • Rom-Com (Oct 2025) • Ambassador's Picks (Jul 2025) Awards: 🥈 Romance runner-up (The Prime Awards 2023)
