Apple Tree
is a tragic, poetic tale of longing, love, and ruin. It follows Salene, a girl who spends her life chasing the cold, celestial Aurelian-believing he is the embodiment of perfection. Blinded by desire, she sacrifices everything for his fleeting attention, only to be hollowed out and discarded.
It is Vesper, the quiet, constant presence, who truly sees and loves her.
Their love blooms-brief, bright, and defiant-beneath an apple tree they plant together, symbolizing a love rooted in truth. But Aurelian, driven by spite and possessiveness, murders Vesper.
Overwhelmed by rage and heartbreak, Salene kills Aurelian in a brutal act of vengeance.
Yet with Vesper gone, she cannot bear the silence. In the end, she takes her life beside the man she truly loved, beneath the tree that held their dreams. Their story ends in blood and sorrow, yet their love lives on in the roots of the apple tree.

Never A Choice
"No matter the choices I'm given, it'll always be you, Aurie." He was her best friend, her safe place, her everything-the one person who shared the weight on her shoulders. Every laugh, every secret whispered in the night, every quiet moment that stitched to the fabric of her heart made her feel like the world belonged only to them. But then, in the blink of an eye, he chose someone else. Her world crumbles down. Unaware of the truth behind his decision, Aurora Everhart is left to face the hollow ache of losing him. But as fate pulls her between love and heartbreak, she can't shake the question that still haunts her, 'Was I ever really a choice?' "No one shielded me from the storm the way you did, Ronnie. But now you're leaving me alone with nothing to cover myself." His whole world revolved around her, his only best friend, the one person he thought he knew better than anyone else. He understood her every laugh, every whisper, every unspoken thought...but never the secret she had kept so carefully hidden from him, just as his own heart held truths he hadn't fully understood. Bounded by a promise and terrified of the truth buried deep inside that he refuses to acknowledge, he's forced to choose someone else and leave his Aurie alone in the storm. Will he ever be able to win her back, even after the choices he's made? The two promises that tore his life apart- the one that he still upholds and the other that he failed to keep- whisper words of desolation in his ear: 'I promise to keep you happy, I promise to... marry you' and 'I promise, my baby strawberry, if I'm ever lost, I'll always find my way back to you.' We often think the heart and the brain are at odds, but in their tale, we get to know that hearts themselves are their own fiercest contradictors - stubborn, unrelenting, and impossible to ignore.
