"He loved me in all the ways I never knew I needed... and left before I could love him back."
Lislie Alcantara is the picture of perfection, the eldest daughter, the top student, and the girl who never lets her guard down. Behind her strong facade lies a fragile heart gasping for air, both literally and figuratively. With asthma and self-imposed pressure suffocating her, Lislie only ever breathes freely beside one person.
Austin Mendoza.
Her childhood best friend.
The only child who loved him deeply.
The boy who knew how to speak all five languages of love just for her.
As years go by, their bond deepens into something almost romantic but never spoken aloud. Not out of fear, but out of comfort in the unspoken. Until one rainy night takes everything away.
Now, Lislie must navigate the storm of grief, guilt, and a love story cut short while learning to heal, even if he's no longer there to hold her hand.
Sometimes, the greatest love stories are the ones that never had a chance to be told.

Together forever
At eighteen, Laura Quinn was abandoned and pregnant-but she never gave up. With fierce determination, she raised her daughter, Camil, forging a life out of nothing. But just as they began to find their footing, life struck again. A devastating illness left Laura fragile, and Camil-still a teenager-became caregiver, breadwinner, and daughter all at once. Laura's greatest sorrow wasn't her illness-it was the fear she couldn't give Camil the future she deserved. Then, tragedy. Laura's passing leaves Camil truly alone, barely an adult and drowning in grief. Until a ray of hope breaks through: her best friend helps her land a high-paying job with a powerful and enigmatic employer, Mr. Dvreis. But the job isn't what it seems. As Camil is drawn deeper into a world of secrets, shadows, and unexpected power, she begins to unravel truths about herself-and her past-that will change everything she thought she knew. Love, betrayal, and destiny collide in this emotionally charged tale of resilience, sacrifice, and the hidden strength within us all.
SEE RIGHT THROUGH ME
" 'Cause if I know you see me falling, You'll be right there to pick me up" Liyah never meant to fall this fast. She's the shy-but-outgoing type - the kind of girl who laughs things off, bites her tongue, and lets stuff slide just to keep the peace. Communication isn't her strong suit, and standing up for herself never came easy. But when Kayzon walks into her life, everything she thought she knew about protecting her heart gets complicated. Kayzon's got his own story - one written in pain, loss, and walls too high for most people to climb. His past made him hard, quiet, and guarded, but somehow, Liyah gets past the surface. She makes him feel seen again. Safe, even. What starts as late-night conversations and lazy afternoons in her dorm turns into something deeper, something neither of them expected. But when two people carrying their own kind of hurt collide, love doesn't always heal - sometimes, it exposes. Did they move too fast, or did they just find each other at the wrong time?

When Nina Happened
Aarav never believed a random Instagram group chat could change his life - until Nina. What began as late-night banter turned into secret conversations, stolen confessions, and a bond neither of them expected. But Nina's world isn't simple.

From whispered calls to midnight sneak-ins at his flat, from laughter in crowded classrooms to tears behind locked doors, their love becomes an intoxicating mix of chaos and comfort.
