Embers & Ashen Rain
Some hearts don't break-they burn, and rise again.
Years after fleeing a loveless, toxic marriage, Sienna Fernandez returns to Lisbon-a city filled with memories she swore she'd buried. She isn't looking for redemption. She just wants to disappear.
But fate has other plans.
On a rain-soaked night at a quiet train station, she crosses paths with Rafael D'Costa-the fighter she once pushed away, the man she never stopped dreaming about. Hardened by his own battles and haunted by her absence, Rafael still carries the fire that once threatened to melt her walls.
As past and present collide, Sienna and Rafael must navigate old scars, buried truths, and the slow, fragile art of healing. But some ghosts don't let go-and some second chances come with a price.
A story of survival, rekindled love, and the courage to choose yourself... even when your heart is still learning how to beat again...

Attracted to His Cold
It wasn't really the result I was looking for. In fact, it was even better. I never really thought that this would happen to me. I never believed someone could love, well, me. But they did. He did. And despite his 'reputation', despite his lifestyle, despite everything everyone had ever told me, I loved him just as unconditionally. But will everything stay in harmony? How long will my paradise last for until my past comes back? Will they haunt me? Catch me? Kill me? "Livia? Tiago?" I ask, my voice breaking slightly. If they're here, then.... "Where is he? Where's-" "Gattina." All the breath in my lungs disappear as I turn to find the source of the voice. Half-way through my turn, I can see his dark silhouette at the end of the hallway. When I breathlessly say my next word, it feels as if I can breathe properly again for the first time in over a month. "Lupo." I run towards him without a second thought, sprinting full speed at him, and jump into his awaiting arms. He engulfs me in the warmest hug I've ever felt, entrapping me entirely - not that I mind. I cry in joy at finally being reunited with him as I bury my head into his neck, burrowing myself into him and vowing never to let him go again. Unwrapping myself from him, I look up at into his eyes. They're filled with love and relief, the same emotions I imagine my eyes are filled with. That quickly changes when his face contorts into one of pain. "Cole?" my brows furrow in confusion. He lets out a pained and strangled noise before he drops to his knees, collapsing at my feet. I gasp when I see Viktor behind him, holding a bloodied knife. A/N: Hey guys. Be prepared for dark themes, mature language, mature scenes, and so much more.
