(WRITTEN IN TAGLISH)
Sapphic Romance | Slow burn

Sofia Lux Salazar is a 19-year-old girl everyone seems to admire--smart, warm, and dependable. She's the type to lead a group project and comfort a friend in the same breath. But beneath that glow is someone shaped by a heartbreak. At sixteen, she fell for her best friend and got left behind. Since then, she's learned to be everything for everyone... without ever letting herself be fully seen.

Professor Cassandra Katrina Velarde is a 26 year old Philosophy professor, known for her sharp words and cold silence. Raised to believe emotions are distractions and control is survival, she chose logic over longing, even if it meant pushing people away including the one who almost broke her walls.

Sofia, who smiles too easily but hides so much.
Cassandra, who longs to feel but fears losing control.
When their worlds collide, silence says more than words ever could.
And love begins... barely.

Kavirah Kazmira Virelle is a highly successful businesswoman with an empire of companies scattered across the globe. A self-made billionaire, she has achieved more than most could dream of, yet she has never stopped pursuing her true passion: becoming a renowned professor. Her brilliance and sharp intellect are evident to all who meet her. Graduating with the highest honors and a perfect GWA, Kavirah's academic excellence propelled her to take the necessary steps toward earning her Doctoral Degree. Without hesitation, she faced the challenge head-on, and today, she stands as a respected professor. Known for her icy demeanor, cold composure, and intimidating presence, Kavirah is unbothered by the judgments of others, focusing instead on her own path to success. Avirah Hidalgo, on the other hand, is a young woman who lives a solitary life, shaped by a tragic past. Her parents passed away before she could even take her first steps, and her grandparents, unwilling to care for her, disowned her when she turned 15. Left to fend for herself, Avirah made a solemn promise to survive, no matter the cost. Having never experienced love or trust, she built impenetrable walls around her heart, vowing never to let anyone in. Love, to her, is a mere illusion-something unworthy of belief or hope. She keeps others at arm's length, closing herself off to the world and its potential for pain. What if their paths were destined to cross? What if they discovered love in each other? Would they be willing to make the sacrifices needed to make it work? Are they ready to take the risk, or will they let the chance slip away? Sit back, relax, and let me introduce you to my very first book!
The Bitter Dance of Hollow Hearts by hotmesswrites
57 parts Ongoing Mature
One girl, haunted by demons she never asked for. One girl, holding onto a dream with bleeding hands. One girl, clinging to a life she never was supposed to survive. One girl-and one infuriating woman she was never meant to meet. Aurora Winters, 18, soft-spoken and sweet like spring rain, begins her second last first day of senior year. The wreckage of a car crash last Christmas stole what little safety she had left-leaving her in the bitter care of an aunt who never wanted her and a man who only knows cruelty. Bruised, quiet, alone and unraveling, Aurora is trying to survive the storm. But survival becomes complicated when a certain woman enters the picture. Valentina M. Harlow, 37, new to this part of town, new to the school, old to the weight of the world. Once a sweet girl who ached to be seen, now a woman shaped by silence and cold resolve. Sharp-tongued, guarded, emotionally untouchable, manipulative and entirely disinterested in attachments. She is the oldest daughter who walked away-from blood and businesses, from love, from everything that broke her. It's been seven years since she last let herself feel. And she likes it that way. Until Aurora. What begins as uneasy glances and sharp conversations becomes something far harder to ignore. Valentina sees the pain in the girl's eyes. The bruises beneath the surface. And suddenly, the woman who feels nothing is faced with a choice: walk away as she always has, or reach out-risking everything. This is a tale of longing and danger, where hearts shatter, wounds heal, and reopen. Again and again. A story of two women who were never meant to orbit, yet crash into each other anyway. A story of it all. Of longing that feels like ruin. Of aching that feels like home. Of broken things that refuse to stay broken. A slow unraveling, a dangerous pull. A love that could save-or destroy-them both. Maybe they'll piece themselves back together. And set the world on fire, together.
