The Gloom

When Lola and Diego accidentally meet in a dark café, they connect without ever seeing each other's face. What starts as a spontaneous conversation becomes a game of intrigue and desire, where both, hiding behind fake names, explore an unexpected relationship filled with secrets and tension.

Diego, caught between his search for something real and the shadow of his past life, finds in "Sofia" (Lola) a mystery that consumes him. But what he doesn't know is that the woman he shares his nightly phone calls with is his best friend Alan's ex-girlfriend, who is still in love with her.

Meanwhile, Lola battles her own demons: the fear of being discovered, her growing attraction to Diego, and the pressure from her surroundings, including Sofia, her supposed friend, who will stop at nothing to win over the masked guy.

Between secret meetings in projection rooms, university parties filled with secrets, and a fate that seems to toy with them, the line between truth and lies blurs. What will happen when the masks finally fall? Will desire be enough to face the truths they both hide?

The Gloom is a story of passion, secrets, and second chances, where love not only blinds but also reveals the deepest parts of our souls.

**Unedited** "She can't come to the phone right now. I'll be happy to take a message for you." My blood runs cold. "Where is she? What have you done to her?" He doesn't say anything and I don't hear her. I start to panic. "Nothing, yet." "If you touch her-" "What Luke?!" He cuts me off. I bite my lip and pass my hand through my hair. "What could you possibly do to me that you haven't already done?!" My eyes starts to water. This lunatic would hurt her and I knew he would. "I beg you," I tell him. "I'll do anything you want. Just leave her be. I'll meet you wherever you want. Take me, please, just leave her out of this." I hear Jasmen crying. "See, but where would all the fun be in that? I could smack you around, take away your fancy cars, and you'd be fine. But if I do this-" I hear Jasmen screaming again. What the hell was he doing to her? I swore the minute I got the chance too, I was going to kill him. "No, please stop! For fuck sake, please!!" I felt helpless. I was letting her down in the biggest way. "See what I mean. This beautiful doll is your Achilles heel man. And you won't like it, she won't like it, but I am going to enjoy this next part." Having uprooted her entire life for love, Jasmen finds herself stuck in London with Heartbreak and penniless. She soon finds a job at a big company and falls for CEO, Lucas Bowers. After a whirlwind romance, the shades are pulled from her eyes. Can this new, awakening relationship survive Lucas past? Or will one or both lose their lives because of his lies and deceit?

30 parts Complete Mature
Love story of fate and forgiveness, where two souls are destined to find each other-but risk being torn asunder by the silence of what remains unspoken-in a world made up of whispers and secrets. An introverted and contemplative artist who quits the noise of his past to settle in a mist-shrouded town stumbles into Yuki, a girl with a gentle spirit and tormenting silence in her eyes, whose world clashes with his, and they are stuck by an unspoken bond and a lingering sorrow that neither can quite define. It is as if, the closer he gets, the more sensitive Kai becomes to some sort of invisible string that ties him to her and pulsates within the quiet which pushes him to discover a truth he can feel but not see. But Yuki holds a secret tied in memory-a memory Kai cannot reach, and Yuki cannot let go. In a heart-wrenching journey through vivid dreams, forgotten letters, and the echoes of a lost love, Kai and Yuki find themselves bound in a past they don't remember, yet one that refuses to let them go. Each heartbeat draws them closer to a revelation that could heal their broken souls or shatter the fragile hearts. Is it powerful enough to overcome the silences of life, or will the truth that seems to exist within their hearts prove too great for them to face? It is in this journey that 'A Heartbeat in the Silence is an emotional masterpiece that will pull at your heartstrings and leave you wondering how far you would go for a love that exists between the heartbeats of memory and silence.

She swears she hates him. He's convinced he hates her more. But when secrets, lies, and late-night whispers begin to blur the line between enemies and something they wouldn't even consider, neither of them is ready for what's coming. *** Aliana is loud, impulsive, and dangerously unpredictable. She lies when she's scared, smiles when she's breaking, and keeps everyone away with her endless sarcasm and sharp tongue. She doesn't need anyone. Especially not him. Ali is silent storms and cold stares. The boy with the bad reputation, a past no one talks about, and a temper that makes people flinch. He wants nothing to do with drama, especially when it wears red lipstick and calls him names. They can't stand each other. So why do they keep ending up alone in the same room? Why does every fight feel like foreplay? And why does hating him hurt more than it should? ~~~~~~ He kisses me, again and again, raw and consuming, and then pulls away; I can feel his green eyes piercing my soul. "What you told me last time, say it again," he whimpers breathlessly. "What?" I manage to ask, confused, and reel him in again for another kiss. He pulls back again, his breath hot against my skin. "That you hate me, tell me that you hate me." "I hate you," I tell him almost instantly, the lie burning on my tongue. He kisses me harder and more hungrily, and the words slip out again from my tongue: "I hate you. I hate you. I hate you." His murmurs deepen into groans, and at this exact moment, I ask myself how I'm still standing, still breathing, still present. ~~~~~~
