In a world where hearts beat as fiercely as ambitions soar, Dr. Leona Celeste Hwang, a gifted cardiothoracic surgeon, and Engr. Jardine Elise Park-Hwang, an architect who shapes dreams into reality, forge a bond beyond fate's design. Their journey weaves through shadows of loss and light of renewal, building not just walls of stone and steel, but a sanctuary of love and resilience. Amid whispered promises and quiet strength, they discover that true home is not a place-but the hands that hold you steady when the world trembles.
This is a story of healing, hope, and the unbreakable threads that tie two souls across time.

HIDDEN AFFECTION (Paused)
A new story begins... and this time, it's not just about love it's about everything that love hides. Hidden Affection. A tale where emotions run deep even when they're buried beneath anger, silence, and duty. She's fierce, free spirited, and unpredictable a 24 year old with a heart full of spark, rebellion, and unapologetic dreams. He's mature, composed, and everything she swore she'd never fall for a 28 year old man bound by rules, reputation, and silence. They're nothing alike. She's chaos. He's calm. She questions everything. He follows structure. But sometimes, it's the opposites that burn the brightest when they collide. When their worlds crash into each other, sparks fly but not the pretty kind. It's messy. It's intense. And beneath all that chaos... something begins to grow something they both try to deny. A journey that starts with misunderstandings, cold stares, and unexpected encounters... A story where hatred slowly softens into something unspoken. Where boundaries blur. And hearts, unknowingly, begin to lean in. Tropes you'll find in this story: • Arranged Marriage • Professor x Student • Chaotic Couple • Slow Burn Romance • Opposite attracts This is not your typical romance. It's about stolen glances, denial, unsaid feelings, broken rules and hidden care and the slow unfolding of affection that was never supposed to happen.

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?

Falling Star Haven
She once believed in love, forever, and family-but betrayal stole it all. Marriage became a word that frightened her, and her dreams faded, leaving only one purpose: to give her son the life he deserved. Love had no place in her world, until an architect arrived-not to build a house, but to rebuild her trust. With quiet patience, he offered what she thought she'd lost: a home made of love. And for the first time in years, she wondered... could she dare to love again?

Where Dahlia Bloomed
Tucked deep in the misty hills of the Philippines stands San Lazaro de Silencio, a crumbling asylum known not for healing, but for forgetting. Among its latest arrivals is Severino Madriaga, a man transferred from one institution to another-violent, withdrawn, and unreachable. Tasked with caring for him is Nurse Margaret Dahlia Astundo, a reserved but compassionate woman whose soft defiance lives in the smallest acts: a warmer blanket, a gentle word, a sweet smuggled past the rules. As days pass, a bond quietly forms between the patient and the nurse. Not love. Not quite friendship. Something softer. Something dangerous in a place like this. But kindness has no place behind locked doors. When Margaret is reported for sneaking him small comforts, she is fired without a chance to say goodbye. Left alone in his cell, He doesn't speak. He simply waits. One year passes within the walls. Another beyond them. And still, he searches for her-in memory, in silence, in every place where kindness once lived. "Where Dahlia Bloomed" is a slow-burning tale of fragile humanity, forbidden connection, and the quiet kind of love that refuses to be forgotten-even when it was never meant to exist.

HE Who Saw the Deep (COMPLETED)
HE Series Book 1 (COMPLETED) Born into hardship, Eryna knew struggle before she knew comfort. An architecture student with dreams taller than the skyscrapers she sketches, she scrapes by, buying every drafting pencil and book with money she earns herself. With absent parents and only her younger brother to call family, she clings to the bitter love of her grandmother. Then comes, Eron, a whirlwind of warmth and laughter, the kind of person who believes in love at first sight. What starts as a simple encounter soon transforms into something deeper. He becomes her greatest supporter, the one who stands by her through every sleepless night, every doubt, every battle against the world's weight. In a life where she's learned to rely on no one but herself, Eryna is about to discover that sometimes, strength isn't just about standing alone --- it's also about knowing when to lean on someone who truly cares. She's like a wild wave crashing against the coast. He is the breeze willing to soothe her. But you can't help someone who's filled with rage, they will only drown you and let you rust in the deep.
