"Some messages are never meant to be heard."
After a near-death accident, Lia Reyes is determined to move on. But when she stumbles upon her old phone, a strange app called Retro Voice starts playing voice notes from a stranger - a guy named Ethan who swears it's 2023.
The only problem? It's already 2025.
As their conversations grow deeper, Lia finds herself drawn to the voice on the other end. But with every note she listens to, memories she can't explain start surfacing. The crash. The headlights. The unsettling truth she's tried to forget.
Because the past always has a way of catching up. And some voices?
They never really leave.

Threads of Tapestry
Different stories, different fates, different lessons. This is a collection of my short stories and one-shots that introduce you to different perspectives and aim to share valuable messages about love and life. - Sometimes, we just need a story that allows us to feel the things that make us human. That vulnerability, the warmth...I hope you could feel them through my pieces. May the words from these stories reach and embrace the depths of you. Like a hug from someone you just need to feel alive again, the kind that gives you the strength to try and face everything once more. Note that: Some of the stories you'll find here were written a few years ago (around 2020-2022), some previously, and all are compiled here. They are not sorted by date or in any particular order (except for those with several parts), so I can't say the ones on the first pages were the first ones I wrote. I might put here some of my upcoming or soon-to-be-written short stories as well. So you can always pick randomly and read. Enjoy reading! I do not solely own the book cover I used. I utilized and edited the elements from Canva. All credit goes to the rightful owner. - airis, 2023Complete
Not In The Blueprint
On a rainy night, two strangers found themselves under the same roof-one running from her fear, one from a past she could not let go of. What began as an act of reluctant care slowly turned into something fragile. Trust formed in silence, and distance blurred with every glance, every touch. But some people do not belong to safe worlds. Some carry violence in their hands and loyalty written in blood. She was never in the blueprint, yet she changed everything. The closer she got, the closer she came to the truth- That loving someone like her was never meant to be safe.

The Mark We Share
Five years. That's how long Adrian Reyes spent rebuilding himself after Ella Santiago walked away - no explanation, no goodbye, just silence. When fate throws them back together, old feelings resurface... along with a little girl named Lia who carries the same crescent birthmark on her wrist as Adrian. And just like that, every answer he thought he wanted becomes a wound that bleeds old love and new truths. But how do you forgive the person who kept your heart - and your child - a secret? And how do you love again when the past never really let you go? The Mark We Share is a slow-burn about second chances, healing, and the quiet kind of love that doesn't need promises - just presence. Because sometimes, home isn't a place. It's the person who stayed in your heart, even when they left.
𝐑𝐞𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐈𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐬
She was shattered, her past erased by pain, her voice stolen by trauma. He was a ruler-not just of politics but of the shadows where justice was a debt paid in blood. Ruthless to those who took justice for granted, yet never cruel to the innocent. At an early age, he learned one truth-power commands justice. Without it, you're nothing. That night, their worlds collided. He found her-battered, nameless, drowning in silence. He should've walked away. But something about her... felt familiar. A forgotten memory. A name lost in time. A connection buried beneath scars. She had no past she was willing to share. He had a childhood he never let go of. But fate doesn't ask for permission-it rewrites the story in the most ruthless ways. Some scars don't just heal... they reveal. And when the truth surfaces, will it mend what was lost or destroy them both? A story of pain, justice and an unexpected love that blooms in the darkest places.
His mistress
Loving him was the cruelest kind of torment-a love that lived in the shadows, one that could never bask in the warmth of the sun. I was nothing more than a stolen moment, a whispered name in the dark, a secret he tucked away between the life he had built and the one he wished he could have. I knew, deep down, that I was a fracture in his story, a fleeting escape from the weight of his reality. And yet, I still clung to him, to the illusion that for a few precious hours, he was mine. But the truth was relentless-it came in the form of unanswered texts, in the way he dressed hurriedly after loving me, in the way he said her name with the same tenderness he once gave me. I had given him my heart, knowing he would never be able to keep it, and yet, I loved him still. Loved him as I watched him walk away, loved him as he returned to the arms of the woman he truly belonged to, loved him as I drowned in the loneliness he left behind. Because no matter how much I wished it to be different, I was not his home-I was just a place he visited before going back to where his heart truly lived.Complete
