Maria Joana Ramonel had built a fortress around her heart, brick by brick, after her devastating breakup with Rex.  The pain of that betrayal had hardened her, leaving her convinced she wasn't worthy of love.  She'd entered a self-proclaimed "hoe phase," a whirlwind of flirtation and fleeting connections, avoiding intimacy while simultaneously pushing men away.  She could charm any guy she wanted, but the moment they reciprocated, her interest vanished.  One thing was certain:  Maria Joana had sworn off commitment, convinced that love only brought pain.
 
Then Toshiya Faustino, a young man who valued genuine connection over shallow games, entered her life.  He was the kind of guy who made your heart skip a beat, the type you'd dream of dating.  But Toshiya was immune to Maria Joana's usual charm.  He saw through her facade, sensing the vulnerability beneath her carefully constructed walls.
 
Would Toshiya's genuine interest break through Maria Joana's defenses, or would their paths lead to a collision of conflicting desires and painful realities?All Rights Reserved

REDRAWN BY FATE 🌙 by PoranasianPorapio718

Once, there was a boy who loved with all his heart. A love so simple, so pure - the kind that blooms in school corridors and ends with promises written in notebooks. He was a boy who longed for the love he lost - a father gone too soon, a heart half-empty. And when she came, he finally felt safe. But safety turned into fear... Fear of losing her, fear that his love itself was a curse. His love grew possessive - and her wings broke beneath it. One day, she left forever... And with her, she took the last piece of him. Years later, he married - not for love, but for duty. A woman who deserved the world... but was tied to a man whose heart belonged to a grave. Now, two souls live under one roof - one haunted by the past, and the other punished for a love she never received. This isn't a tale of love found - it's a story of love surviving - in silence, in distance, in pain and the art of letting go. "Having the person you love beside you isn't the only form of love. Sometimes... letting them go is. And I hope one day you'll understand, Aishwarya - I'm not walking away because I don't love you. I'm walking away because I can't bear to lose another person I love."

Hold Me As I Am by Elpida182

Love isn't always kind. Sometimes, it's brutal. Raw. Unforgiving. And real. Ava Monroe thought she knew what love looked like - until Julian Reed moved into the apartment across from hers. A jazz musician with quiet eyes and a voice that felt like smoke, Julian isn't like anyone she's ever known. He doesn't chase her. He doesn't try to fix her. He just sees her - and that's what makes him dangerous. What starts as a coincidence quickly turns into oxygen. But loving someone like Julian means confronting every fear, every flaw, and every part of herself she's tried to bury. This isn't a love story with perfect endings. It's a story about choosing someone again and again - even when it hurts. Especially when it hurts.

What If I Was Nothing by FearghalLorcan

They loved hard, fought harder, and broke quietly. Ryan and Hannah were supposed to last - the kind of love that survives slammed doors, sleepless nights, and promises said in the dark. But love, as they learned, doesn't always fade in one clean motion. Sometimes it unravels, thread by thread, until you wake up beside someone you no longer recognize. After years of trying to fix what was already gone, Hannah walked away. Ryan stayed - until the silence between them became too heavy to bear. Years later, Ryan has rebuilt his world. A new home. A wife who makes him laugh. A baby boy who carries his smile. He's finally found peace in the wreckage. But when Hannah reappears one morning, holding all the words she never said, both are forced to face the truth: love doesn't die - it changes. And sometimes, the hardest part isn't losing each other. It's learning to live with what remains.

Don't Fall Not Yet by ScarlettMoon25

Moving from Mexico to the wealthy, perfect suburbs of New York, María Hernandez's plan was simple: finish high school, keep her head down, and blend into the background. That plan lasted until she met Marcus Whitmore. Marcus is the town's golden boy-the star quarterback, popular, and untouchable. But the easy smile is a lie. His eyes hold a constant, dangerous storm, his home is full of secrets, and he has sworn off feeling anything real for anyone. The moment their worlds collide, they don't just fall; they break open. María is the calm he never knew he needed, and he's the dangerous chaos she should have run from the second she saw him. This is Don't Fall, Not Yet. Told in dual POV, this story is about the fight for identity, the ugly price of loyalty, and the devastating violence of secrets. It's about the impossible choice between protecting the people you love... and destroying them completely. Mature Audience Warning: 18+ Although María and Marcus's journey begins in high school, it will follow them into adulthood. Expect explicit content, strong language, messy emotions, and raw moments that don't shy away from the real challenges of growing up. I'm doing my best to reflect the richness and challenges of both Mexican and Anglo-American Elite experiences with honesty and care. If I ever miss the mark, please (gently) let me know-I'm always open to learning and doing better. Please read, share, vote, follow, and leave a comment. I'd love to hear your thoughts as you join María and Marcus on this unforgettable journey. © Scarlett Moon, 2025 This is a work of fiction. All rights reserved.

WHISPERS BETWEEN WORLDS ; He Loved Me Telepathically" or "Soul Games by DiamondChisholm

I didn't ask for the voices. Or the dreams. Or to fall for someone I couldn't touch, who knew my thoughts before I even had them. Zaire came into my life like a haunting-sweet, seductive, and laced with something I couldn't explain. But behind every pull, there was pain. Behind every message, a manipulation. This isn't just a love story. It's my survival story. A girl caught between two worlds-spiritual and real-trying to figure out if what she feels is fate, obsession, or something far more dangerous. And the biggest question of all: If he's in my head... does that mean he's ever truly been in my heart?
