Victor doesn't laugh. Not anymore.
After growing up under the cold, brutal shadow of his father's abuse, he's learned that silence is safer than speaking, and that hiding in the corners of the world is the only way to survive. His only escape? A quiet seat in the back corner of the Chuckle House-a struggling comedy club where people laugh loud enough to cover the pain they carry.

Emily doesn't cry. Not in front of people. Not since the orphanage.
Her past is buried beneath locked doors and closed buildings. She has no home, no family, and no faith in the idea of love. She's been used, dismissed, and forgotten. Until one rainy night, she walks into the Chuckle House looking for shelter-and finds something else entirely.

A boy. A chair. A silence that sees her.

They meet without names.
They return without promises.
They fall in love without ever meaning to.

But what begins as quiet company becomes something deeper-a fragile, unspoken bond forged in nightly visits, exchanged glances, and the shared weight of unhealed wounds. Together, they learn that you don't need to laugh to feel joy, and you don't need to cry to feel seen.

But healing isn't simple. And the past doesn't disappear just because someone stays.

As Victor's father's shadow begins creeping back into his life and Emily is forced to confront the truth behind the orphanage's closure, both of them must decide:

Do you run from pain forever?

Or do you finally let someone in... even if it hurts?


"Cry" is a raw, heartfelt slow-burn romance-thriller about two broken souls learning to find strength-not in perfection, but in presence. In the quiet. In the seat beside you.

50 parts Complete
Ava never expected her last year of high school to start with a stranger changing everything. Quiet, unpredictable, impossible to read, Liam walks into her life like a storm she didn't see coming. He hides behind sarcasm and long sleeves, drifting through school like he's just passing through. Ava tells herself not to care. But then he looks at her. And she sees it, the pain he tries to bury, the secrets he pretends don't exist, the loneliness he carries like a shadow. When they're forced to work together for a class project, Ava slowly discovers the truth he hides from everyone else: Liam doesn't let people close. Because the last time he did... it destroyed him. What begins as awkward teamwork turns into late-night conversations, shared moments, and quiet confessions neither of them meant to say out loud. They're not supposed to fall for each other. They're not even supposed to be friends. But some connections don't care about rules. As Ava gets pulled deeper into Liam's world and the complicated, fragile life he tries so hard to manage, she realizes there's more at stake than just her heart. Because Liam's past is darker than she ever imagined. And the truth waiting for him is something that might change everything. This is a story about two people learning to trust again... about staying when it's easier to run... and about finding light in the one person you never expected. A slow-burn, emotional romance about healing, secrets, and the kind of love that makes you brave.

"Please.." she couldn't say anything more. Her sobs didn't let her. Roman looked at her with an evil smile, not showing any sign of mercy. "I am not letting you run away like you did that night. Trust me, I'll make sure your life is miserable. I want you to feel the same pain as I am feeling right now." He roughly let go of her and Bailey lost control in her legs. She was about to fall but he held her by her arm leaving her dangling and spoke, "Accept your crime and rot in jail. If I see you roaming around freely in the city as if you haven't done nothing wrong, I will kill you! And destroy everyone and everything around you. Mark my words." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Name, Fame, Money, Power...... Those who have it, they still want more. The endless greed of having everything what they desire, never satisfy them. Roman Carter is not just a business mogul and a billionaire; he is a tower of success. He converted his father's business into an empire and still works hard to maintain it. His success was everything he ever wanted but he paid a price. A price which broke him inside and turned him into someone he never wanted to become; someone like his father. Bailey Adams didn't have a big bank balance or power or fame, but still her life was perfect. Her sweet mother, loving boyfriend and a little bakery business were enough to make her life complete. She could live this life forever and would do anything for those who she loves. But life isn't that fair or so easy. Bailey was never a player in the game of power and money but somehow her life got trapped in this web. She became a part of Roman's life; an unwanted part, which he wanted to remove and forget. He hates her, he wants to hurt her, and he wants her to feel the same pain he felt because SOMETHING HAPPENED, that changed their lives forever. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Something Happened~ A Love Story.........

🏆 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 | She ran from her wedding the day she found out the groom was expecting a baby with someone else. Now, with a broken heart and no suitcase, she's starting over in London... Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella Solène Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local café with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming café owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process. It's a story of loss, of starting over, and the two men who force her to face what love really means. Of heartbreak turned healing, of strangers turned family. It's not just about falling in love, it's about who you become when your world shatters... and you choose to rise anyway.
The Divine Devil  by manikarnika_
6 parts Ongoing
Every crown is a curse, and every heir is a sacrifice, When peace lies in bloody nights what will happen when the her ice cold heart melts in this warm embrace? She was not the woman she appeared to be. Behind those sharp eyes and cold composure was a soul shattered by betrayal and heartbreak. Once, she had known laughter, softness, and trust-but those days were long buried beneath layers of pain and rage. The scars of her past had carved away the girl she used to be, leaving behind a woman with a heart frozen in ice. Trust was a luxury she could no longer afford, and love? Love had become a cruel illusion she no longer believed in. All that remained was a single, burning desire-revenge. It was her fuel, her purpose, and the reason she rose each day with fire in her veins and steel in her gaze. She had become a devil in the eyes of many, but they didn't know the story behind the flames. And then, he came. A man unlike any she had ever known-warm where she was cold, gentle where she was fierce. He saw the thorns and bled willingly just to hold the rose. He didn't flinch at her anger or retreat from her silence. Instead, he embraced her darkness like it was a part of him. To him, she wasn't broken-she was beautiful in ways the world failed to understand. He loved her not despite her demons, but because of them. For the first time in years, she felt the warmth of something unfamiliar-hope. He would give up everything for her: his name, his pride, even his morals. Not because he was weak, but because his love for her was that strong. He didn't want to fix her-he only wanted to hold her, to show her that she didn't have to fight alone.
