Echoes of Us
"She was the silence I craved. I was the chaos she never expected." Rachelle Azrielle De Leon was the type who lived in shadows-quiet, composed, and always a step away from everyone else. With eyes always fixed on her books, she kept her world tightly locked, hiding scars from a broken family and the insecurities she couldn't name aloud. Smart, secretive, and painfully self-aware-she made sure no one got too close. Then came Seraphina Marceline Clemente-fiery, athletic, and effortlessly magnetic. She lived like life was one big game, and she played to win. Loud laughter, confident strides, and a smile that could make even the coldest day feel like summer-Seraphina wasn't just the sunshine; she was the whole damn sky. When they became classmates, they were nothing more than opposites forced to share the same space. No sparks. No tension. Just passing glances-two lives on parallel lines. But love? Love has a habit of slipping in when you're not looking. And three months into the school year, their lines finally crossed-for real. And once they did, neither of them could pretend they hadn't noticed. Disclaimer & Credits This story is a work of fiction published on Wattpad.

Hazel A woman once fueled by dreams of romance and quiet joy, Hazel built her life around the belief that love could be her sanctuary. But lately, that belief feels like a distant echo. The man she once adored now stirs something darker in her-grief, resentment, disbelief. What happened between them wasn't loud, but it was enough to fracture her trust. She knows Xavier didn't mean to hurt her, yet intention doesn't erase the ache. Now, Hazel stands at the edge of her old life, unsure whether she's mourning a love that died-or waking up from a love that never truly lived. Xavier To Xavier, marrying Hazel felt like winning fate's rarest lottery. He loved her deeply, but somewhere along the way, love became possession. He never saw himself as controlling-just certain. Certain that Hazel would understand him, follow him, forgive him. But certainty is brittle. Now, he's left with the wreckage of a marriage he thought was unbreakable, wondering if being "a man" blinded him to the quiet ways he failed her. He doesn't know how to fix it. He only knows he's no longer the man Hazel believed in. Lily Raised in an orphanage tucked away from the world's noise, Lily learned early how to turn loneliness into light. She dreams big, laughs easily, and carries a quiet hope that her parents might still be out there, searching for her. Sister Mary once told her she wasn't born into the orphanage-she was brought there by social workers. "Maybe your parents lost you," she said. That idea clung to Lily like a half-remembered lullaby. Sometimes, she feels she was once close to them, but the memory isn't comforting-it's unsettling. Like a shadow she almost recognized. Still, Lily chooses joy, even when the past whispers otherwise.
