The Colour Of Her Hair by valenciarosenovels

"I don't hate you, Naledi. I hate that I still care..." Love doesn't always die. Sometimes, it lingers- wounded, silent, and waiting. Luthando never meant to see Naledi again. Not after the lies, the betrayal, the storm she left in her wake. He's rebuilt his life brick by aching brick, burying the ruins of their past beneath a façade of detachment. But one accidental encounter in a quiet library shatters it all. One flash of crimson hair- and the memories come flooding back: the warmth, the wreckage, the impossible love he thought he had buried. Naledi carries her own ghosts- regret, guilt, and a truth she's never fully confessed. The woman he sees now isn't the girl he walked away from. And yet, she still has the power to undo him with a glance. As past and present collide, The Color of Her Hair unravels a haunting story of love fractured by silence and salvaged by vulnerability. Told through aching introspection and sharp emotional clarity, it is a portrait of two souls who lost each other- and what happens when fate offers one last chance to heal or finally let go. Sometimes love break us. Sometimes it remold us. And sometimes it never leaves us, no matter how far we run.

A Beautiful Mess. by KhanyiiJM

We never notice something is missing until it's gone. We never know about the void until we know what was supposed to fill it. We never know the magnitude of the impact until it's felt. We never have regrets until we make mistakes. We never see rainbows unless there was a storm. We can never make peace without there being a conflict first. It might all sound bad at first but keep in mind that there's always good where there's bad. There's always truth where there's lies. Theres always life where there's death. And theres always love where there's hate. Put this all together and you have A Beautiful Mess...

Bruiseprint by Cece_imagines

A story of love, pain, and second chances. In a world where friendships crumble and kisses taste of betrayal, some wounds cut deeper than skin. A lover's touch can heal-or destroy. Behind every smile hides a secret. Behind every promise, a lie. And in the ashes of loss and sabotage, hearts still ache for the kind of love that survives it all. Different, yet the same-bound by the bruises and scars of their choices, their pasts, their mistakes. Some wounds break, some redeem... but in the end, love always leaves its mark. *** ⚠️ Disclaimer: Sensitive Content This story explores themes of sexual abuse, human trafficking, grooming, emotional trauma, domestic violence, and morally complex relationships. It delves into the long-term psychological impact of abuse and how it can distort one's understanding of love, trust, and self-worth. The characters, their actions, and their choices are entirely fictional and are not intended to condone or glorify abuse, manipulation, or inappropriate relationships of any kind. Reader discretion is strongly advised. Started: May 2025 *** Bruiseprint - a made-up name. Some loves leave marks, not just the kind that hurt, but the kind that shape us. They stay with us like prints. Our bruises tell stories. Pain leaves a print, but so does healing. This is the imprint of a love that changed them both. Thank you for reading ❤️♾️

Regrets [Re-Written] by wittyluna

Excerpt: "You are trying to carve a broken piece of glass Mr. Knight and this glass will only crack more and sooner or later it's again going to break and this time when it will break you will be the one crying with tears of blood." It's a saga of regrets, redemption and rejoicing...

A Heart Rewritten by KathyAceytunoPerez

I thought moving back to my father's country would be a fresh start-a chance to find myself in the place I was born but never really knew. I didn't expect to fall so fast for someone who would break me in ways I still struggle to name. What followed shattered everything: my trust, my voice, my sense of who I was. But this isn't just a story about pain. It's about the slow, quiet strength of rebuilding. About family in its most fragile form. About learning that healing isn't a straight line-and sometimes, love finds you when you're no longer looking for it. This is the story of how I got lost, how I came home, and how, one day, I looked in the mirror and finally recognized the girl staring back.

𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐨𝐬 by whatmyheartspeaks

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 ♡ Two beautiful, broken souls. One unexpected story. 𝐌𝐢𝐡𝐢𝐤𝐚 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐡𝐚𝐥 is an 18-year-old medical student - introverted, heartbroken, and quietly carrying wounds she swore no one would ever see. She's built walls so high, no one's even tried to climb them. 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐫𝐚 is an 18-year-old architecture student - chaotic, energetic, and the life of every room. A goofball on the outside, but behind that effortless smile hides a boy drowning in silence. They've crossed paths before - a glance, a name, a face in the crowd. But never a conversation. Never a reason. Until heartbreak strikes them both. Mihika retreats deeper into herself. Devansh laughs a little louder, pretending a little harder. And somewhere between silence and laughter... fate intervenes. What happens when two broken hearts collide? Can two people who never believed in healing slowly piece each other back together? A story about unspoken pain, unexpected connections, friendships and the kind of love that heals in the quietest of ways. As you go deeper into the story you'll be introduced to more couples✨ Give it a shot, you'll surely not regret it ❤️
