Inside the serene yet enigmatic walls of CrestField Academy, life unfolds in gentle rhythms morning bells ringing, restricted areas lurking, and quiet dreams taking shape. For Amna, a vibrant soul with a heart full of joy and eyes that shimmer with untold stories, this school is both a sanctuary and a stage. Her radiance is enchanting, her spirit untamed, and her zest for life makes her the heartbeat of every room she enters. But behind that dazzling smile, there's a truth she keeps hidden from everyone.
Then there's Alexander, effortlessly charming and sharp-witted, who steps into CrestField with a reputation that precedes him. Used to being in the limelight but wary of it, he walks through the school unsure of what awaits him until he meets Amna. What begins as stolen glances over a forbidden fence quickly blossoms into something real, passionate, and beautiful. Yet, as they discover, love doesn't always wait for the perfect moment.
As their relationship deepens, hidden truths begin to surface. Abigail, Amna's fiercely loyal best friend, finds herself caught in a tug-of-war between jealousy and regret, torn by her own desires and the painful unraveling of her family life. In a world where appearances often mask suffering and everyone is chasing something be it love, acceptance, or freedom the truth has a way of coming to light.
Beneath Amna's Light is a heartfelt, emotional tale about first love, fragile friendships, and the courage it takes to face what we fear losing the most. With every laugh, each deception, and those late-night heart-to-heart talks, the students of CrestField learn that some lights shine the brightest just before they fade away.

Echoes of Rejection: Learning to Love Again
Fifty-one rejections. Fifty-one times my heart was broken, including the girl I thought I'd never stop loving. After that, I swore I'd never fall for anyone again. Love became a game I refused to play - every smile, every kind gesture from a girl felt like a trap. Years passed. College came. I buried myself in studies, friends, and distractions, building walls so high no one could reach me. Until she appeared. Aya. Gentle, patient, and fearless in ways I hadn't known existed. She didn't chase me, didn't push. She simply stayed - quietly, persistently, until I realized the walls I'd built were trembling. But trust doesn't come easy. Fear lingers. Past heartbreaks echo. Can I let myself be vulnerable again? Or will my own walls keep me from the love I've always wanted? A slow-burn story of heartbreak, self-discovery, and the courage it takes to let someone in - even when you've sworn you never will.
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. They fight, they break, they heal - but above all, they choose each other, again and again. This is not just a story of love; it's a story of freedom found in another soul, of rebellion dressed as romance, of secrets heavy enough to break but beautiful enough to hold. In a world that wants them apart, Aarav and Nina learn that the most unforgettable love is the one you're willing to risk everything for.Complete
Signed by Silence (Sais)
Colet Vergara x Fem Reader At 28, Professor Nicolette "Colet" Vergara has built walls taller than any lecture hall. Cold, nonchalant, and notoriously strict, she's the university's most feared instructor-intelligent, sharp-tongued, and believed to be incapable of love. Rumors swirl in hushed tones, but no one dares get close enough to confirm them. She teaches like clockwork, lives in routine, and has convinced herself that emotions-especially love-are distractions she can live without. But her world shifts when a transfer student arrives. Y/N, a 19-year-old reincarnated girl born deaf but bursting with warmth, light, and creativity, is enrolled into a mainstream university not designed for PWD students by her doting mothers, Malory and Collie. Despite the odds, Y/N navigates her silent world with courage, always carrying a sketchpad and pen-her words flowing in ink and image. She's quiet but vibrant, gentle yet resilient. Their paths collide-literally-when Colet mistakes her silence for defiance and yells at her in class, only to be met with blank eyes and a soft, confused smile. The truth stuns her: Y/N can't hear her rage. And somehow, that silence says more than words ever could. As the semester unfolds, what begins as a reluctant apology slowly turns into stolen glances, unspoken understanding, and deep conversations in writing. The cold professor finds herself softening against all logic, and Y/N, in her quiet grace, begins to stir emotions Colet thought she buried long ago. But their growing bond comes with shadows-the age gap, strict university rules, and Colet's own fear of love. Can Colet risk everything she's built for a girl who listens with her eyes and speaks through her hands? Or will silence be the only thing left signed between them?
