Doormat To Devotion
Elisa Ashford doesn't tolerate mistakes. She doesn't tolerate feelings either. She's the icy CEO of Ashford Innovations - a woman feared for her silence, revered for her brilliance, and completely unbothered by the chaos of emotion. Until Damien Reignhart walks in. Clumsy. Nervous. Dressed like he borrowed his suit from a rejected rom-com audition. She hired him by accident. Kept him by force. But the one thing she never planned for? Damien is messy, soft-hearted, and wildly unqualified. He spills coffee. Breaks printers. Talks to cats. But he sees something in her no one else dares to look for - and the longer he stays, the more dangerous he becomes. Because under all that awkwardness is something darker. Something obsessive. A romance with sharp heels, soft chaos, and a dangerously devoted heart.
THE STREET ARTIST AND THE CEO
When worlds collide, sparks fly in the most unexpected places. Aria Vale lives for the rhythm of the streets-her days are filled with splashes of color, murals on hidden walls, and the freedom of expression that only art can give her.

Damian Cross is the opposite-powerful, calculated, and ruthlessly ambitious. As the CEO of one of the most influential real estate empires, his life is dictated by schedules, deals, and a constant need to stay on top. But behind his cold exterior lies a man who once dreamed of something more than boardrooms and bottom lines. When Damian's company threatens to demolish a neighborhood that houses Aria's most meaningful work, their paths cross in a heated confrontation. Neither expects the undeniable chemistry that follows-or the way they challenge each other's worlds. As passion blurs the line between love and hate, Aria must decide if she can trust the man who represents everything she stands against, and Damian must choose whether to follow his heart or the empire he's built. In a city where every wall tells a story, theirs might be the most unforgettable of all.Complete

DO YOU REALLY HATE EACH OTHER? (MXMXM)
Theodore Vales 🌸 Do you really hate each other? Because I don't think you do. I've seen hatred before. It is clean. Sharp. Cold. What you two have is anything but. It is fire, restless and consuming. It is tension so thick the air trembles when you walk into the same room. It is silence heavy with everything unsaid, every word buried because neither of you knows how to bleed without drawing blood. And yet-when you reach for me, both of you, your hands brush too close. Your eyes flicker not just to me but to each other, even if only for a second. You think I don't notice, but I do. I notice the longing beneath the fury, the way your anger is only the shadow of something deeper. You both want me. And I-I want you both. But maybe it was never only about me. Maybe it has always been about 'us'. Three. A number most would call too much. Too messy. Too impossible. And yet, in the way you breathe, in the way you break, in the way you burn-I see it. Three is the only way this story could ever be told. So I'll ask again. Do you really hate each other? Or is hate just another word for everything you're too afraid to confess?
