They hadn't spoken in years-not since college, not since the night everything changed. But some things don't fade. Not love. Not anger. Not the ache of what could've been.

𝐗𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞 is at the top of his game-fast, focused, and untouchable on the field. The world sees a star. But when an injury threatens to sideline him mid-season, the last person he expects to see walking into the recovery room is 𝐄𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐫-the team's new rehabilitation specialist. The same girl who used to wear his hoodie and swear she'd never let him break her heart. The same woman he never truly stopped thinking about.

𝐄𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 built her career by staying professional, keeping boundaries, and never letting the past mess with her future. But working side by side with the man who once made her feel everything? That boundary's about to blur.

As therapy sessions turn into stolen moments and buried feelings resurface, they're forced to face the truth: the love they had didn't end. It paused. And now, with pain, pride, and passion all in play, they'll have to decide-can they heal what time never could?All Rights Reserved

Falling for you by lloyqueenbae

He had it all. Fame. Fortune. The cars, the houses, the women. The world cheered when he walked into a room. Every headline praised his game. Every city knew his name. But when the lights dimmed and the parties ended, he went home alone. Every time. Because the truth was-he didn't have love. Not the kind that stays. Not the kind that sees past the fame. Not the kind that makes you want to be more. Until he met Draya. She wasn't impressed by his fame. She didn't care about the cars or the cameras. She was busy-working double shifts at the hair salon , raising her son with fierce devotion, building a life from the ground up. Quiet, graceful, and far from the drama his world was filled with. She didn't need him. That's what shook him. But he needed her. In her presence, he found something the spotlight never gave him: peace. She made him want to slow down. To protect, to grow, to be a man worthy of her and her little boy who started to look at him like a hero. But not everyone wanted to see him change. The tabloids started digging. Old flames stirred up noise. People said she was after his money, his name, his fame. She didn't flinch. She didn't speak. She just stayed grounded-for her son, for herself. And that's when he knew: He'd had everything. But she was the only thing he ever truly wanted.

Residuals. by MJade92

Ja and Dess had been inseparable from the moment they met in college. What started as a friendship quickly ignited into a love neither of them saw coming. They were young-perhaps too young to understand the weight of what they truly had. Then Ja's betrayals shattered everything. For Dess, walking away was the only way to save herself. For Ja, losing her sent him spiraling into a world of regret, excess, and self-destruction. Now, five years later, fate has brought them back to the same crossroads, caught between what was and what still might be. When their paths cross once more, old wounds resurface, and the weight of unspoken words lingers between them. Dess has built a life without Ja-one that doesn't revolve around heartbreak and second chances. She has convinced herself she has moved on. Ja has moved on, too-at least in some ways. He's a father now. His daughter, Kaari, is the one pure, beautiful thing to come from the years he spent trying to be with someone else. But he never loved Kaari's mother the way he loved Dess. He couldn't. Because even after five years, after all the mistakes and all the time lost between them, Dess still owns his heart in a way no one else ever could. In this sequel to Wrong Kind Of Right, Ja and Dess find themselves questioning: Is love ever truly lost, or does it simply leave behind pieces-residuals of what once was, waiting for the right time to find its way back?

The Faded Vows by lynk992925

He was waiting outside the OP, there for his student who had been injured during a fight over a phone. As he sat, casually glancing at his own phone, he suddenly heard the faint sound of a baby crying. Curious, he turned toward the sound-and froze. There, outside the pediatric care unit, sat his wife with their son crying in her arms. His heart ached-it had been months since he last saw his son. His gaze shifted to his wife, gently consoling the child. Her face looked tired, pale, and completely drained. Without a second thought, he stood, tears welling in his eyes. Each step he took felt heavy, his chest tightening with every cry from his son. As he neared, he saw her clothes were faded and worn. Her feet were bare, hardened from walking-clearly straight from the farm. His heart clenched. His eyes moved to his son-he had grown so much. She was so focused on calming the baby that she didn't notice him at first. Tears filled her eyes as she held their feverish child close. He softly called her name. Startled, she looked up-and froze. Then she quickly lowered her gaze and tried to get up. He gently placed a hand on her shoulder, stopping her. She sat back down, turning her face away, quietly wiping her tears. He reached out to take their son. The moment he held him, he felt the heat-his little body was burning with fever. A chill ran through him. After all these months, seeing his child like this was unbearable. He loved his wife and son deeply, but his loyalty to his mother-and obedience to her word-always came first. Between a mother who owned his soul and a wife who held his heart, he was a man torn in a cruel war of love and loyalty. And she-she had given her all to a promise whispered beneath the sacred fire... never knowing that one day, she'd be holding her child, with nothing but a faded vow.
