After spending 30 years in another world, Ariana wakes up in the life she left behind, only to find echoes of the love she lost in a stranger. Was this fate, or just a cruel trick of her grieving heart?

=============

When Ariana opened her eyes in a hospital bed, the world she had known for the past thirty years had vanished. There was no elegant hanfu, bustling marketplace, or warm smiles from her children and grandchildren. Instead, she found herself back in her original life-the life she had lost in a car crash, the life where her fiancé, Paul, had betrayed her with her stepsister, Julie.

Her best friend, Tina, is the only anchor in this cold, unfamiliar reality, helping her navigate a world that has moved on without her. But Ariana cannot forget the lifetime she lived in another world, the love she had discovered, the husband she had mourned for a decade before she was ripped away. And then she sees him.

A stranger with familiar eyes. A man whose presence tugs at something deep within her, inscribed into her soul. Is he the reincarnation of the man she loved beyond the boundaries of time, or is her grief distorting reality, causing her to chase the shadows of a dream?

As Ariana struggles to regain her place in a life she no longer wants, the lines between fiction and fate blur. The past is written, but love might find a way to reshape destiny.

=============

A novella inspired by the ONC prompt 129: "The ink of our souls binds us beyond the pages of time," The Ink of Our Souls tells a story of love, loss, and the unbreakable ties that transcend worlds.All Rights Reserved

A HEARTBEAT IN THE SILENCE by Julian_Hart

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.

Her eyes widened at the necklace with an infinity symbol in crested with small little diamonds. "How you even afford this kari?" She questioned, unable to take her eyes off of it. "Shit, my savings." He rubbed the back of his head that possessed his starter loc twists. "That was so nice of you, you didn't have too." She smiled softly finally looking at him, "Can you put it on me?"

The Orion Legacy by DrPayne

Let me tell you a story of a kingdom that was once the most advanced civilization known to this day, a pinnacle of achievement that still astounds the universe with its grandeur and sophistication. Its twin towers were the centre of all knowledge of the universe, and their luminous rays radiated from the lights at the tip of each tower, guiding all travellers from across time and space back to its main doors. Until the day they arrived, from the shadows and as old as our known universe, we battled with all we had to contain this dark and mysterious life form. Our kingdom was about to fall. Our scientists found a way by creating a wormhole through space to a new world, granting us a chance to save our civilization. But something happened during the process... I was jolted awake to find myself alone, hundreds of years later, and all of those who had been with me gone. It was only after certain events that I discovered my immortality, so I vowed to rebuild the Orion civilization in this new world. One day, against all odds, I met her gaze, a unique gaze that only my wife Lisana had possessed. I later realized that it was her spirit reincarnated, as Kayronian we could only love one person, we were irrevocably drawn to each other regardless of distance and time. We lived happily until her death; many years later on a trip to another continent, I encountered her again, this time as queen of a Nordic people, multiple lives together followed, united by our eternal love and the immeasurable pain of reliving her death over and over again, in total I had to bury her with my own hands 87 times. The last Lisana implored me to break the cycle before it started again. Then the first occurrence happened, somehow they found a way to access this realm, through some rift, However, they were unable to keep their physical form in this world, i must find a way stop to them.

No Strings Attached by quillscarlet

Agashi never believed in fairytales. Once, she thought she had her forever-until Aarav left, and love became nothing more than a closed chapter. Then came Kabir-reckless, magnetic, impossible to ignore. What started as stolen moments turned into something neither of them planned. A fire they refused to name. A two-month escape across India's coastline was supposed to be just that-an escape. No strings, no promises. But with every city, every touch, the lines blur. Until home calls. Until the past catches up. Because Aarav is back. And he wants her back too. Two men. Two stories. One truth she can't outrun. A slow-burn romance of longing, passion, second chances, and love that refuses to fade. Perfect for fans of angst, forced proximity, and the kind of love triangle that lingers long after the last page. #Romance #LoveStory #SlowBurn #Angst #Emotional #Passion #ForbiddenLove #Tension #Heartbreak #SecondChances #LoveTriangle #FallingForYou #NoStringsAttached #TravelRomance #India #CoastalLove #Wanderlust #Soulmates #Fate #UnspokenFeelings #Longing #LoveAndLoss #Fiction #ContemporaryRomance #NewAdult #Drama #Betrayal #Healing #BreakupToMakeup #ToxicLove #ForcedProximity #Wattapad #WattpadRomance #WattpadStory #MustRead #WattpadBooks #Trending #ReadItNow #WattpadLoveStory

AA's Second Chance. by sriya_writz

"Where There Is Love, There Is Pain" "Can love happen twice with the same person?" Letting go of someone you love is never easy, and the scars left behind can be deep. .....................🩵 she asked, "What's special today?" "Our 4-year anniversary," I said, my voice gentle, as if saying it aloud would remind her of the love we shared. Oh, I forgot," she muttered, Will you be my girlfriend again, my moon? Will you marry me and make me the happiest man alive? I want to spend my life with you, to have children, to grow old together. Will you be my wife?" Silence. Her tears fell freely now, but they weren't tears of happiness. Her face was pale, her body trembling. I stood up, panic rising in my chest. "What's wrong?" "I don't want to be your lover anymore. I'm scared of becoming your wife. I don't want to bring a child into a world where they'll suffer. Let's break up, Abhay." ......................🩵 (Optional to read) The distance from a heart you cherish creates an unbearable ache, leading you to act as if you've forgotten them. Yet, that separation doesn't just distance two souls; it transforms one, giving birth to a new identity shaped by pain. A sweet soul can become arrogant, an excited heart may turn into a depressed one, hiding behind a mask of false smiles. This is the story of two souls-Jeevana and Abhay-whose love was shattered by fear. Four years later, they find themselves on opposite paths. Jeevana, now a talented artist, conceals her sorrow with a smile, while Abhay has become a successful but cold businessman in the gaming world. Fate intervenes, bringing them face to face once again. In this tale of love and second chances, they must confront the past and decide if they can forgive and heal together, or if the wounds of their history will keep them apart forever.
