This isn't a love story. It's a warning. He said they were invincible. But between late-night drives, quiet confessions, and the slow decay of everything good, she learned the truth: he was already falling apart - and loving him only taught her how to break, too. What started as a soft, golden kind of love turned into something colder, sharper - a slow bleed disguised as romance.
And by the time she realized he wasn't just lost, but running, he was already too far gone to save himself.

Fallen For A Kiss
He was a city boy with a beautiful face - and a heart desperate for something deeper. Tired of shallow love and fake promises, he longed for a village girl - someone untouched by the noise, someone real. When life tore his family apart, it pushed him into the very place he always dreamed of - the village. That's where he met her. Soft smile, quiet eyes, and a soul that felt like peace. But she was already taken. And love doesn't wait for permission. He loved her in silence. He gave her everything - even when she gave nothing back. What started as a dream turned into an obsession. Then into heartbreak. Then into something much darker. Now, he's just a memory of who he used to be - lost in drugs, pain, and a love story that was never his to begin with. Some dreams don't come true. Some love stories were never meant to be written. This is one of them.

A quiet job in a quiet town, a routine that never hurt, and a heart too careful to fall for anyone too fast. But then he walked in. The new hire. Mysterious. Impossibly attractive. He had the smile of a gentleman and the presence of a man who'd burn the world to keep your attention. He said all the right things. Held doors. Knew how to make her laugh. And when he looked at her-it felt like she was the only girl in the universe. But love, she learns, can be blinding. And not all monsters hide in shadows. Some wear suits. Some call you "baby." Some hold you like you're a prayer-then break you like a curse. Because he has secrets. Dark ones. Dangerous ones. The kind of truths that can't be buried without blood. So now the real question is... Will she uncover who he truly is-before it's too late? Can love survive when it's soaked in lies and obsession? And when she finally sees the monster behind the man... Will she run? Or will she stay?Complete
Hard To Love
Life has never been gentle with Maddie. Pain taught her strength, and survival taught her silence. Trust is a luxury, and love feels like a lie she can't afford to believe in. But when fate forces her to confront the ghosts she's been running from, she realizes healing isn't about forgetting the past-it's about finding the courage to face it.
When Love Wasn't in My Plan
She promised herself never to fall again-not after the cracks her family left behind and the walls she built to protect her heart. Love was messy, dangerous, and definitely not in her plan. But then came the senior who showered her with attention, making her believe she was seen at last... until she realized she was only chasing an illusion. Just when she thought she was done with love forever, an unexpected presence stepped quietly into her life-a high school senior who had been watching from afar, who reached out not with promises but with comfort. Slowly, her carefully written plan began to blur, and she was forced to face the one thing she feared most: that sometimes, love finds you when you least want it... and when you need it the most.

Almost, Always 🍁🥀
"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.
Was it meant to be!?
Was It Ever Ours? It was their first love, and neither of them knew what to do with it. He was quiet, unsure, always wondering if he could ever be enough. She was bold, full of questions, but hiding just as much. They didn't mean for it to happen. It started with little moments - a shared smile, an accidental touch, the way his heart raced when she laughed. No one told them what to expect when love is new - the joy, the fear, the way everything can feel like too much and yet not enough. It wasn't a perfect story. It was messy, with secrets, doubts, and too many things left unsaid. But it was theirs, for a moment. And sometimes, that's all you can hold onto.Complete
