SEASONS OF THE HEART SERIES #3
How do you return to yourself after losing so much along the way?
Elara was the kind of girl who always held it together. The one who smiled at the right time, said the right things, and made herself smaller so no one would call her too much. She was good at being what people needed - so good, she forgot how to be anything else.
Elias was the dreamer. The kind of boy who felt things deeply but didn't always know how to say them - so he let the music speak for him. It was where he felt most like himself. No expectations, no pretending - just something real he could hold on to.
But dreams can feel heavy when you're carrying them alone. When the people around you don't understand, when their silence starts to sound like doubt.
And over time, even the thing that once made him feel alive... started to fade.
They loved each other in the middle of all that becoming. In shared silences, half-spoken hopes, and tired evenings where the weight of the world softened in each other's presence. It was real - even if it wasn't enough to save them from slowly fading apart.
Some loves don't leave. They simply wait - quiet, unchanged, beneath the versions of ourselves we thought we had to be.
A love that never rushed as if it always knew they'd find their way back, within autumn's embrace.

The Weather of Us
He met her in a storm. He found her hair tie on the ground. He returned it the next day like it meant something. After getting dumped in the middle of a train station downpour, Elara Hayes is officially done with romance, heartbreak, and boys who fold at the first sign of feelings. What she doesn't expect is the stranger watching her from across the platform - or the fact that he finds the pink hair tie she dropped and keeps it like it matters. Kade Vance wasn't planning on following her to a café the next morning. He wasn't planning on crossing the room, handing back the hair tie, and asking if she's okay in that rough, quiet voice that sounds like thunder about to break. But storms have a way of pulling people toward each other. She's soft and chaotic - raised between divorced parents who treat feelings like ammunition. He's calm and dangerous - the boy everyone warns her about, the one who watches the world like he's always waiting for it to hit first. They weren't supposed to collide again. They definitely weren't supposed to fall this fast. But when her family dinner explodes and Kade texts her at the exact moment she breaks, everything shifts. Too fast. Too intense. Too much. Exactly like the weather. Now Elara's trying to figure out why a stranger feels safer than her own family, and Kade's trying to hide how hard he's already fallen. Because the truth is simple: She's the calm after his storm. He's the storm she's been waiting for. And some people don't just meet - they collide.
OUR UNWRITTEN STORY: When Stars Aligned
WHAT IF YOUR GREATEST LOVE ARRIVED TOO EARLY...BEFORE YOU KNEW HOW TO KEEP IT? Inah spent her life piecing together fragments of love and carrying the quiet fear of being left behind. Beneath her calm exterior lies a guarded heart, afraid to hold on-until she met Elias, the music major who spoke in melodies and carried restless, untamed shadows that haunted the silence between every note. Set in the year 1999, when messages lingered on paper, phone calls were counted in coins, and songs were shared through cassette tapes that carried the sender's heartbeat in every rewind-this story follows two guarded souls, each a little lost, as they navigate the fragile space between friendship and something more. As fleeting moments turned into letters and music, the stars began to align, and neither knew just how deeply they had written themselves into each other's story. Because sometimes, the most powerful stories aren't the ones we write, but the ones we live. Copyright © Jun 2025 Written by L.L.L. - First Published on Wattpad
Untimely Love (Book 3)
♤VOL 1: Book III in the FORBIDDEN series♤ ♠♤ "Have you ever been in love?" I didn't know what to say to that. My skin heated with an embarrassed, uncomfortable blush that even attacked my skull. I should've been more prepared for the question, I guess. Still, it felt like a punch in the gut. Who says I'm not, is what I wanted to say-it's the worse thing I could possibly say. The worst thing to admit to myself now. "By that look," she gestured to my face, sitting back in her chair, "I'd say you have." ♠♤ He hadn't been prepared for the past year. In the beginning, he only saw it as his first and last year of freedom. He dropped out of honors classes and quit the track team to focus on more academic studies and getting into college. A girl hadn't been in his plans. Heartbreak hadn't either. But it happened anyway because life could be a bitch like that. And now he had to start college and a new life with the pain and memories burning in the back of his head and chest for however long it took to be okay after a heart had been broken. He'd been denying the one thing everyone's been throwing at him; 'college will change you'. And now he's seeing that there was a chance he would change. But it wouldn't be because of college. ♠♤ ♤ Sequel to 'Forbidden Attraction' ♤ Will officially start publishing in September 2020
Somewhere Between Us
"Loving you is exhausting and hard. Give me a freaking break." he said. "Then why are you still here?", she whispered with a pale and trembling voice, holding back the tears that were willing to fall down her cheeks. Laura never wanted to fall in love with someone she couldn't touch - someone who only existed behind a screen, a voice borne by time zones and poor connections. But Evan made distance seem hazardous. He made every silence burn. "You could've stopped talking to me." she said to him once. "I tried," he said. "You just wouldn't leave my fucking head." Somewhere in between their late-night phone calls and the words they never spoke, something real started to take shape - delicate, wrong, and beautiful. But love such as theirs was going to shatter. It was constructed on waiting, on jealousy, on all the things they couldn't have. And maybe that's the cruelest kind of love - the kind that feels infinite, but ends the moment you wake up. Until Aiden walked in - the man who was real, present, and everything Evan couldn't be. Aman who had actually been beside her even when she broke his heart, even when she drifted away to chase someone who made her heart ache in ways she never imagined. "He doesn't deserve you. please wake up Lau." Aiden told her. "Then why does it still feel like he's the one?" she whispered. "You're crazy." Somewhere between what she wanted and what she needed, Laura lost control. Between time zones and heartbreak, between messages and memories, something between them had shattered. Because sometimes, love doesn't ask you to choose between two people - it asks you to choose which part of yourself you're willing to destroy.
The Heart KNOWS | Ongoing | Vihaan×Indhu
#Book1 of The Heart Series (English and Tanglish) VIHAAN MALHOTRA × INDHU RAJAN "That's what you do, isn't it?" His voice was sharp, edged with something dangerously close to anger. I frowned. What the hell is he talking about? "What-" I started, but he cut me off. "Always craving attention. From everyone... from every man-"The words barely left his mouth before my hand struck his cheek. A sharp slap, loud in the quiet room. Wow. Four years. Four whole years since I last saw him, and the first thing I do? Slap my first love. Great. Just great. ──── ୨୧ ──── Indhu walked away from love, heartbreak, and the boy who once shielded her in the rain, Vihaan. He was her first love, the one she believed never saw her the same way. What she thought was an unrequited crush turned into a painful memory, marked by misunderstandings and unresolved emotions. They met again through the wedding of Indhu's best friend, Aadya and Vihaan's older brother Arnav, an event that should have been a happy beginning but instead left her heartbroken. Convinced she had moved on, she built a life on her own terms-until Vihaan reappeared. Vihaan, cold and unreadable, never let anyone get close-especially not Indhu. He buried his feelings, mistaking distance for control. But when the truth behind their past finally comes to light, he refuses to let her slip away again. Now bound to the man she tried to forget, Indhu finds herself trapped between past wounds and present desires. And as possessive tension, lingering resentment, and years of unspoken longing collide, she fights to guard her heart while Vihaan struggles to claim what was always his. But in a game of denial and temptation, who will surrender first? ──── ୨୧ ──── (This is my first book, so there may be a few mistakes or small inconsistencies, but it won't affect the reading. I'll be fixing everything once the book is completed❤️😭)
After Everything
Prologue: Before the storm, there was softness. There was laughter in quiet cafes, late-night calls that turned into early mornings, hands tangled in each other like roots learning how to hold. There was a boy who made me feel seen, and a girl who still believed that love-real love-could be enough. We weren't perfect, but we were in love. The kind of love that feels handwritten by the universe. The kind of love you bet everything on, even when the odds start to shift. But the thing about love is that it doesn't unravel all at once. It frays. Quietly. Softly. One skipped detail. One unanswered question. One moment of doubt that grows roots while you're still convincing yourself everything's fine. This is a story about that unraveling. About the ache of being almost chosen. About trust that cracked before it broke. But it's also a story about resilience. About finding your voice in the silence. About choosing love-not just in someone else, but in yourself. Because sometimes the greatest love stories aren't the ones that come easy. They're the ones you fight for, walk away from, and learn to return to with open eyes. This is not just a love story. It's a reckoning. A healing. A reminder that sometimes, even in the aftermath, love still finds a way back. And this time, it's real.Complete
