SKIN TO SILENCE: Anatomy Of Longing
--- Alex never asked to be her friend. Yuna was brilliant, beautiful - and unstable. What began as an uneasy bond after a violent incident at school became something far more permanent when her psychiatrist mother forced Alex to move in, to watch her, to keep her under control when no one else could. For years, it worked. Yuna played the perfect girl in public - smiling, laughing, collecting friends and admirers. Behind closed doors, she and Alex built a secret world of whispered conversations, escape plans, and games that kept the darkness at bay. He became her shadow, her warden, her one tether to normalcy. But perfection never lasts. When Yuna begins to "help" people in ways no one asked for, Alex sees the cracks widen. Her small acts of control twist into something sharper, more dangerous, and soon the line between protection and violence blurs. What starts as Yuna avenging the helpless spirals into something else entirely - a rampage cloaked as kindness, each act worse than the last. And Alex, bound by loyalty and fear, is forced to ask himself: how long can he keep following her before he loses himself completely? ---
The Billionaire's Ex-Wife
Love. It was infuriating yet strangely addicting. It swirls in unknown waters, testing its limits before striking. The sensation of its claws digging into your flesh was all it took for it to become entranced. And then everything collapsed. Everything began to untangle. Everything slowly crumbled to ground. Everything began to fall apart. And you found yourself in the centre of it all, your hands cradling your heart as tears trickled down your cheeks, the salty liquid creating a dark patch on your jeans as it hit the soft fabric. You're vulnerable. You're scared. You're hurt. You're broken. But when you finally have the courage, to wipe away an trace of a broken heart. When you finally lift yourself from the dark pit you had created. When you finally patch together the remnants of your shattered soul. When you finally close your eyes. When you forget. When you become invincible. When you finally heal. It all comes back. Everything. Like an arrow that had been shot in your back, your eyes widening from the unforeseen attack. That's what happens. Because love is dirty. Love was the ugly, ever changing shadow that would snarl at you, jeering at your pitiful state. But then it was also the beautiful stroke of the paintbrush, as the brush winded across the canvas, the colours flourishing into life. Love was a demon, yet also an angel in disguise. That was love. _____________________________________ [ WARNING β : I wrote this as an inexperienced pre-pubescent so prepare for a cringefest.

The Unexpected
Tanya never believed in fate until the night her world was shattered by blood and betrayal. A simple act of kindness pulled her into Darryl's path - a man with haunting eyes, a hidden past, and scars that told a story darker than midnight. What began as a spark of attraction soon spiraled into something far more dangerous: a love born in chaos, tested by lies, and hunted by enemies who would kill to keep the truth buried. He saved her life once. She exposed his secret twice. Now, both are trapped in a web of deceit that neither of them wove - yet both must escape. Darryl is not the man he claims to be. Beneath the calm charm lies a criminal past tied to a powerful syndicate that has marked him for death. But Tanya is no ordinary woman either. Her brother's mysterious disappearance years ago is connected to the same people Darryl once worked for. As bullets fly and bodies fall, Tanya is forced to choose between the man she loves and the justice she swore to find. Every step closer to the truth uncovers another lie, another betrayal, and another reason to run. When love and danger collide, loyalty is tested, trust becomes a weapon, and survival demands more than courage - it demands sacrifice. In the shadows of crime and passion, Tanya and Darryl will discover that destiny is not written in stars, but in blood, secrets, and choices. And when the final truth comes to light, it will shake everything they thought they knew - because what binds them together is more than love or guilt. It is The Unexpected - a story of love that defies logic, danger that never sleeps, and two hearts that refuse to surrender even when the world turns against them.
