[*Short Chapters]

Three years ago, Lana Hayes had her heart shattered by the only man she ever loved. Without warning, Aston Windsor-the man who once promised her forever-ended their relationship with cold indifference, claiming he never loved her. No explanation. No closure. Just a brutal, heartbreaking goodbye.

Determined to escape the wreckage, Lana left Chicago behind, throwing herself into law school and rebuilding her life from the ground up. Now, with a law degree in hand and a coveted job offer, she returns to the city she swore she'd never step foot in again.

But there's one problem.

Her new employer? Aston Windsor.

Wealthy, powerful, and as unreadable as ever, Aston is the CEO of the firm she's just been hired at. And while he acts like she's nothing more than another employee-formal, distant, completely unaffected-he's suddenly turning up more often, watching her in a way that makes her skin prickle.

Lana doesn't believe in second chances. Not with him. So if Aston Windsor thinks he can waltz back into her life and play his games again, he's in for a rude awakening.

Because this time, she's the one holding the cards. And she has a plan.

Even if it means playing a dangerous game of jealousy.

Even if it means pretending she doesn't still feel something for him.

Even if the truth behind their breakup is much darker than she ever imagined.

After all, some loves don't burn out.

They smolder beneath the ashes, waiting to ignite again.All Rights Reserved

Shut Up! I Love You! by aribarahman2941

Allison Waters has her entire high school life planned out-perfect grades, student council presidency, and absolutely no distractions. That is, until the school's biggest slacker, Nikolai Anderson, is suddenly forced to work with her. Nikolai is everything Allison can't stand-lazy, irresponsible, and far too smug for his good. He seems to enjoy annoying her at every opportunity, turning every interaction into a game of wits. But when their teachers decide that Nikolai needs to mature, he's assigned to help plan the Valentine's Day dance alongside Allison. Now, they're stuck together-choosing decorations, managing budgets, and spending way too much time in each other's presence. At first, Allison is convinced it's going to be a nightmare. But as they're forced to work side by side, she starts to see a different side of Nikolai-one that's funny, kind, and surprisingly thoughtful. Before she knows it, she doesn't hate his presence as much as she thought. Maybe she even enjoys it. But just as things begin to shift, rumors start spreading-ones that make Allison question everything she thought she knew about Nikolai. Betrayal stings, and suddenly, the growing connection between them shatters. With the Valentine's dance approaching and the truth finally coming to light, will Allison be able to let go of her pride and admit how she feels? And will Nikolai prove that he's more than just a class clown?

The Heart He Shattered by demejoy

Eight years ago, Liam Alcaraz walked out of Mia Villaruiz's life without a backward glance-leaving her with nothing but a shattered heart, unanswered questions, and the memory of the boy who once made her believe in forever. Now, Liam is one of the youngest, most powerful, and most desired CEOs in the country. And Mia? She's no longer the quiet, outcast girl he once dismissed. She's the bar exam's number one passer, a corporate lawyer whose name alone makes seasoned executives sweat-fearless, sharp, impossible to intimidate. When fate drags her into his boardroom, Liam's billion-dollar empire becomes her biggest case-and her biggest test. Vale, the firm's legendary senior partner, makes it clear: if Mia can bend the unbreakable Liam Alcaraz, she'll earn her place as their youngest partner. But boardroom battles aren't the only sparks flying. Every heated exchange drips with the kind of tension that makes breathing difficult. Every glance lingers too long. Every accidental brush of skin threatens to reignite the wildfire they once swore to bury. Liam is determined to prove he's not the same man who broke her. Mia is determined to remind him she's not the same girl he left behind. But in a world where pride is power and desire is dangerous, old wounds reopen, truths shatter illusions, and the line between love and hate blurs until only one truth remains- Some temptations are impossible to resist. And some hearts never truly let go. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.

That's not a good start for a relationship." She said watching him for his reaction. "Who says there's a certain way to start a relationship? I understand that family comes first, even education. But if I could see or talk to you for an hour at least, I'll be fine with that." She was still unsure, "I still don't know.. why me though?" "Cause I want you. I claimed you the moment I saw you." "I'm not an object." "You're not, but believe me beautiful when I say you're mine. And I always get what I want." * Same thing as my other stories, there is very heavy sexual tension and content. I don't drag out feelings for two people who care for each other. This is a fictional story so some info may not be accurate. Enjoy!

Love From Afar by Writingisconfusing

Ava Lee Silva's summer routine was simple: survive her older brother's endless teasing, try not to spiral over her insecurities, and-definitely-not fall for her brother's ridiculously good-looking best friend, Cole-Maverick Walker. Because there was no way she stood a chance. Cole was tall, confident, and annoyingly perfect. And he only had eyes for other girls. So, Ava kept her crush a secret, buried under layers of sarcasm and the chaos of growing up. But then, a few years later, fate has other plans. Ava's at university, trying to avoid her complicated past-especially Cole, who's suddenly looking at her like she's not just Jack's little sister anymore. And Cole? He's definitely not immune to her charm now that she's not a teenager anymore. The sparks between them are undeniable, and the tension? Off. The. Charts. But with jealousy bubbling under the surface, old insecurities resurfacing, and their lives in totally different places, can they really make this work? Or will the weight of her past-and his complicated history with love-destroy whatever this is before it even starts? First love, explosive chemistry, a whole lot of secrets, and more than a few "I can't believe they just did that" moments. This is a love story that'll make you laugh, swoon, and maybe even throw your book across the room when things get a little too hot to handle.
