Laid off and adrift, 28-year-old Joe Cheah seeks refuge in his digital archive of "Haven," an online forum from a more vibrant past. Driven by a sense of disconnection, he embarks on a quest to find the real people behind the usernames that once meant so much, especially the witty Sabrina_Fox, now a designer in Melbourne.
But his journey from Kuala Lumpur into the lives of his former online friends unearths more than just nostalgia. Each encounter-with a struggling mother, a pragmatic activist, a quiet artist-chips away at his idealized memories, forcing him to confront uncomfortable truths about the past, the present, and himself.
As Joe closes in on Sabrina, a decade-old regret surfaces, and he must decide if he's merely a "nostalgic tourist" or if he can forge genuine connections in the here and now. Can the archivist of lost memories become the architect of a new future?

Loving Her Was Never the Plan
Aeh Ochoa never expected love to find her in Ohio. She came for a career, for independence-for a fresh start away from home. But then came Jay Carrington-wealthy, charming, and completely out of her league. Or so she thought. What Aeh doesn't know is that she's a bet. Jay was supposed to prove that no woman like her truly existed. That her innocence, her kindness, her supposed perfection-was just an act waiting to unravel. But the more time he spends with her, the more he starts to question everything. The problem? By the time he realizes he's fallen for real, the truth is already waiting to destroy them. When Aeh learns that she was nothing more than a game, her world shatters. And when she looks at Jay with anger, regret, and heartbreak in her eyes, he knows-this time, he's lost the one thing that ever truly mattered. Can love survive a betrayal built on lies? Or will one mistake cost them everything? Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.

Between the Lines~ Love Happened
Everyone has a different nature but mine is undoubtedly different. To say that I'm intriguing would be an understatement, I'm overconfident, smart, humorous, ambitious, considerate, diligent, energetic, faithful etc etc but I come with a condition which is unchangeable, irreplaceable and consistent to all. Don't trigger me or push my wrong buttons. It's actually a simple condition but often people seem to lack the required and end up doing just what I expect them not to. Sabrina is headstrong, a heartthrob but a realist. She is just someone not to mess with but what happens when someone is willing to do just that?

Allyson In Between ✔︎

A head injury has left a critical gap in seventeen-year-old Allyson's memory, so she barely recognizes her little sister, Lindsay, who's grown sullen and antisocial. What happened to the silly and fun girl who used to call Allyson her best friend? The answer starts to take shape when Allyson unlocks an instant messaging app and delves into the archived conversations. The more she learns about the person she was before her accident, the more she wants to stop reading. She's ashamed of the way she treated Lindsay, but despite her efforts to reconcile, Lindsay remains distant. She seems to be harboring some terrible secret herself. Allyson needs help to solve the mystery, but she's afraid to challenge her parents' fragile pretense of normality. And Noah, the boy Allyson doesn't remember falling for the first time, is reluctant to dig up the past. Her only choice is to find the courage to meet her former BFF-a stranger who knows all the unsavory details.

Perfect Strangers
Follow my Instagram for any updates and if you have any questions: @nikki_k123 Alex has been living the same life, with the same routine, repeating it every day. Every day is the same. The one thing she does look forward to is going to cafe de l'amour every morning on her way to school, where she sits and writes, all while seeing Carter Reed. The most popular boy at school who, surprisingly, prefers the solitary life. They go to the same cafe every day, sit at the same tables every day, and notice each other every day, yet are strangers who have never uttered a word to one another. And strangers they shall remain. Perfect strangers. But that's about to change. . . . . . I watched as he kept his eyes trained on the notebook in front of him where he aimlessly drew spirals and coils that surrounded each other, trapped each other, and suffocated each other. My eyes traced the movement of his pen, following each line he drew onto the paper. "Your tea." I snapped out of my trance and looked up, thanking Katy before she went back to the counter. I turned back and caught him looking at me. I expected him to look away and continue acting like I don't exist. Like he's always done and so have I. What I didn't expect was for him to walk right over and sit with me. "Hi, I'm Carter." PSA: This story is inspired by the Wattpad novel 'Caffeine' by @meddlingkids ALL RIGHTS RESERVEDZakończone
Childhood Sweethearts
#1 Teen Fiction | #1 Young Adult | #1 Romance "We all need someone to drive us mad." - The Wombats. He stared arrogantly down at me, a smirk plastered across his face. I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams. We were once, inseparable. The 'Golden Couple'. The unbreakable best friends, that everybody envied. Nothing could get between us. A part from being tighter than white on rice, we updated our status from friends to being in a relationship, frequently. We were neighbours, which meant our families were all close and even co-owned houses around our town. This, all is, until the day of my sixteenth birthday. Everything changed. The loving relationship we shared, was severed and torn apart. I couldn't hardly stand to look at him any more, without spitting fire that is. Every day is torture being around him. He was in all my classes at school and the window in my room was even directly aligned with his. So, what happens? My mother's mum gets sick, so dad and her fly out. Just them. Leaving me to stay with Carter and his parents, who are never home. We would be alone. In one house. Under the same roof. If I was insane before, I have no idea what I am now. © 2016 by LaurenJ22.
