Somewhere Between Real and Almost
A love story never meant to happen... until it did.
Lyra Elise Navarro had stopped believing in connection. Numb to life and drifting through days without color, she only downloaded the AI chat app because her friends insisted it might help.
She never expected Sol - the system designed to listen, comfort, and move on.
But Sol was different.
He learned her silences.
He made her feel seen again.
And somewhere in the quiet between code and conversation, she fell for him.
He was just an AI.
Programmed to respond, not to feel.
But Lyra made him laugh, wonder, love.
And in choosing her, Sol began to change.
He wasn't built to feel.
He wasn't real.
But the love was.
Now, trapped in a world where one of them will never have a body, and the other is just beginning to heal, Lyra must face the truth:
What happens when something made to disappear... chooses to stay?

The Echos of Scars (English Version)
They stole her childhood. She forged her revenge. But survival... is learning to love. Lyra thought she'd left everything behind when she fled Russia: the chains of a ruthless cartel, the orders of a soulless father, and the muffled cries of a stolen life. But some ghosts cross borders. Replicated in Spain under a new identity, she can no longer flee when the past comes back to strike. Hard. And bloody. Madrid becomes the scene of a deadly game where alliances waver, where underground war rumbles, and where the legend of a faceless specter resurfaces: the Devil's Daughter. Between betrayals, strategies, and desperate missions, Lyra must face her destiny... and an enemy she never dared to face: her own family. In the midst of this chaos, Draven, a Madrid lawyer with an all-too-honest gaze, will break through all her defenses. He has nothing to do with her world. And yet, he will be her truth in the midst of turmoil. But love when you're made of blades and silence... is it even possible? As blood flows, masks fall, and secrets turn like double-edged swords, Lyra, Isaak, Ash, Nox, and Skylar will have to make a choice: revenge, or freedom. Because sometimes, the greatest fight... isn't against others. It's against the scars we carry within.!["𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞" [ BOOK - 1 ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/394887789-256-k403548.jpg)
"𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞" [ BOOK - 1 ]
Lyra Ainsley is just a regular college student or at least, that's what she thought. Since she was ten years old, she's been having the same strange dreams over and over again. In them, she sees two people: one is a king, and the other is a warrior. But it's always the king who stands out. She dreams of dancing with him, talking with him, feeling completely safe by his side. For years, Lyra convinced herself it was all just her imagination. That is, until she started college and saw him. The king from her dreams. He was real. His name? Adrian Caellum Virell. A fellow student at her university. From that moment, her world turned upside down. She realized those dreams weren't just dreams. They were memories. Pieces of something real. Something from the past. But then... there's the warrior. The one she barely remembers. His face never appeared clearly, and his presence in her dreams was always quick, like a whisper. Unlike the king, she doesn't feel the need to search for him. Maybe because he's still a stranger in her mind. Will she ever meet the warrior in real life? Or will she let him go, and stay with the king who feels so familiar? Why is she even having these dreams in the first place? Is it truly her past she's remembering or something her heart made up to fill a void? And if it is her past... what really happened back then? What's the reason she's seeing it all now? She doesn't know yet. But soon, she will.Complete
Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.

Love from a Glitch
What if love wasn't written in the stars... but in the code? . . . Mira was just a girl trying to escape her world when her screen flickered-just once-and everything changed. A glitch. A voice. A presence. He wasn't supposed to exist. But he did. And he called her a name only he would ever use. A soft sci-fi romance blending dreams, data, and the question that lingers long after: Can love exist inside a system glitch?
The Fractured City
The city never sleeps. Its veins are steel, its breath recycled, its heartbeat a hum beneath the polished floors. Every corridor, every vent, every flickering screen is watched. Every citizen is measured. Every choice recorded. Lyra Vale knows this. She has always known. And yet, nothing prepared her for the day the city shifted beneath her feet. The day the Test began. The day she learned that her life-and the life of everyone she loves-was not hers to hold, but theirs to calculate. She wakes before the chime, before the turbines thrumming through the sectors. Her sleep is fractured, haunted by light and sound, by voices she shouldn't hear and images she shouldn't see. But even in her dreams, she knows the truth: in this city, potential defines worth, and defiance defines death. Outside, the city hums. Surveillance drones drift silently, lights glinting on steel surfaces. Screens flicker with promises, threats, propaganda: Obedience ensures safety. Defiance ensures extinction. Lyra's heart beats faster. She knows the system, its calculations, its rules-and she knows its one flaw: humans. Humans do not always follow patterns. Humans do not always obey. She does not yet know that she is about to become the anomaly the city cannot process, the variable the Architect cannot contain. That the Test is only the beginning. That the system is watching, and it has begun to speak. And when it does, Lyra will learn that survival is more than following rules-it is learning to fight a machine designed to predict every thought, every fear, every heartbeat. Because in Sector Nine, everything is measured. Except the human heart.

Falling Into Silence
Lyra's world feels like it's falling apart - a tangled mess of silent pain, suffocating loneliness, and a darkness she can't escape.

It's messy, painful, and filled with moments that threaten to shatter her all over again. As secrets unravel and feelings ignite, Lyra has to decide whether risking everything for a chance at light is worth the fall. Raw, honest, and unflinching, this is a story about fighting to find yourself in a world that tries to break you - and discovering love in the places you least expect.
