Wouldn't It Be Wrong?
a collection of almosts, maybes, and midnight truths

For the texts we never sent and the touches we only dreamed of.

If you've ever whispered "what if?" to yourself at night...
This is for you.

Unconditional Love: From Unfinished to Forever
She was his past. His "what-if." His unfinished chapter. He left without a word. No explanation. No goodbye. Just silence-cold, heavy, louder than any heartbreak could ever be. The truth came later, sharp and merciless: he had already found someone else. A new girl. A new life. And she-still trapped in the ruins of their love-was left with only questions that had no answers. She never hated him. Not truly. She hated the pain. The emptiness. The nights spent whispering his name into the darkness, hoping it would reach him somehow. She hated how her heart refused to let go, how her love-quiet, loyal, undying-remained, even when he was gone. Years passed. And then he returned. Mature. Changed. Sincere. The boy who had broken her had become a man carrying the weight of his mistakes after he knows the truth about her. Once, they had been reckless hearts, loving without knowing forever. Now, the same love returned-stronger, deeper, and more dangerous than ever. He was her peace in chaos, her truth in silence, the only man she had ever truly loved. And yet, she knew the truth: loving him again could destroy everything. It could break her all over again, or break the life he had now built. And still, the pull between them was irresistible, a force she could not deny. Her heart whispered the choice she would make, even as her mind screamed its warning. Some love-unfinished, eternal, impossible-refuses to be left behind. And she would follow it, knowing the regret that would haunt her for the rest of her life. When hearts-once they have found their other half-will chase it even into heartbreak. Even into ruin. True love is unstoppable and unconditional No matter where life leads, no matter the distance, when one heart trembles, the other reaches without hesitation- to embrace, to soothe, to whisper, "I AM ALWAYS HERE.""
The Space Between Our Lines
Have you ever felt a love that lives in silence, in the spaces no one notices? A longing that trembles in your chest but never finds its voice? What if the one who could fill the emptiness inside you is the one you are too afraid to reach for? What if every almost, every hesitation, every word left unsent has been shaping your life more than you realize? Can you find the courage before fear takes over? Can you cross the spaces that keep you apart without breaking yourself? What if the person you were meant to love has been walking beside you all along, yet you never dared to see them? What if the life you dream of exists only in the moments you almost live it? What if letting go is the only way to hold on? And when the lines between hope and heartbreak blur, will you recognize what you've been searching for before it slips away forever? In the quiet between longing and choice, between love and fear, the question remains for you, for me, for every heart that dares to hope: can we step into the life and the love that has been waiting for us all along?
The Devil's Crybaby
Eliza Labelle had survived a shooting that should have killed her, but surviving turned out to be the beginning of her problems rather than the end. After waking in a hospital bed with a bullet wound and a government determined to bury the incident, she discovered that the man responsible had vanished behind the walls of a place most people only whispered about. While her family tried to push her back into her privileged city life, strange events and growing unease made it impossible for her to forget what happened. When she was suddenly taken from everything she knew and dragged beyond the safety of the world she had grown up in, Eliza found herself trapped in a brutal land ruled by old loyalties, hidden power structures, and people who lived by laws far different from those of the city. As she struggled to survive among dangerous strangers, she uncovered secrets that connected powerful families, forbidden territories, and a world that had been carefully hidden from ordinary people. The deeper she was pulled into that world, the harder it became to separate friend from enemy, truth from manipulation, and survival from sacrifice. What began as a fight to return home slowly became a journey that forced her to confront the darkest parts of human nature, the cost of loyalty, and the reality that some doors could never be closed once they were opened.
The Price of Innocence
"Some ghosts don't haunt to scare you. They haunt to remind you what you lost." Thandi's innocence echoed in every memory she shared with her sister. She's accepted the truth - her sister is gone, and nothing can change that. But everything shatters the moment she sees her again. Alive. Smiling. Real. Now caught between the sister she loves and the man she's come to care for, Thandi must make an impossible choice - one that will teach her that even innocence comes with a price. In a world of power, secrets, and ruthless ambition, every choice has consequences. Loyalties will be tested, hearts will be broken, and betrayal lurks in the most unexpected places. Survival is only the beginning; when nothing is as it seems, even the purest hearts cast the darkest shadows.Complete
When Love Is Real, You Just Know- Ashita Joshi
"This generation flirts, ghosts, and forgets-but I remember everything." When a man is truly in love, you don't have to ask twice. He notices everything, remembers the little details, and makes sure you never feel alone-even in silence. But when he's not in love, no matter how much you give, it's never enough. This one-shot is a raw and emotional reflection on love-the kind that's real, loud, and effortless... and the kind that pretends. A powerful journey through the eyes of someone who finally sees the truth: real love doesn't confuse, it clarifies. It doesn't ghost, it guards. A story for every woman who gave her all and for every man who knew what he lost only when it was too late. Because when love is real... you just know.Complete
One Shot Stories
As MissLovelyTales, I write one-shot stories that dive into the raw, unfiltered emotions we often try to hide - love that never reached the lips, heartbreaks masked with smiles, and the lingering "what ifs" we carry in silence. Each piece I create is a glimpse into the fleeting moments that leave the deepest marks on our hearts. My stories aren't always about happy endings. Sometimes, they're about quiet goodbyes, unsent letters, and the beauty of moving on. I write for the overthinkers, the feelers, the ones who love in silence and heal in secret. Every one-shot is a universe in itself - short, but heavy; simple, but striking. And I hope that through my words, you find parts of yourself... and maybe a little peace too.Complete
