She cooked rice the night after he died.
Not knowing he had someone else grieving him, too.
A quiet, slow-burning story about the kind of betrayal that's only revealed after the casket closes - and how grief doesn't care who was loved more.
For the ones who never got the answers.
For the ones who were left behind.
For the ones who loved someone who was never really theirs.

I was never meant to stand out. Just a quiet guy in a crowded world-walking hallways, reading books I never cared about, watching people laugh from a distance. Then one day... she forgot her book in the library, Hana. She didn't say much. She never smiled. But for the first time, I saw someone who felt like a reflection of me - Alone. Detached. Tired. I don't know why I picked up her book, but I did. And that one, simple decision? It changed everything. This isn't some perfect love story. We didn't fall fast. We just... found each other-in the silence, in the grief, in the little moments most people overlook. This is about loneliness. About losing everything. About finding someone when you've stopped looking. And about learning to live, even when your days are numbered. This is our story. These are our... Unwritten Pages.Complete
Balot, Taho, Fishball, and the Things We Never Said
Some stories are whispered over streetlights and silence. Elise knew what it meant to be present but never chosen. Caleb knew what it meant to be needed, but never truly wanted. In the chaos of Quezon City, where voices drown in jeepney horns and life moves too fast to notice the quiet ones, two almost-invisible souls cross paths in the middle of a shift, over a tray of fries, and slowly inevitably begin to see what the rest of the world missed. Surrounded by broken friendships, heavy family baggage, and dreams put on pause, Elise and Caleb build something out of leftovers of glances, late-night taho, shared umbrella walks, and words unsaid. This is a love story for the ones who weren't seen, but stayed anyway. Who carried the weight without asking for praise. Who found, in each other, a place to rest. Because sometimes, home isn't a house. It's the one person who finally hears you, even in your quietest voice.Complete
Before The World Knew Our Story
They saw each other before anyone else did. Before the noise, before the chaos, before love had a name. Two souls who weren't supposed to meet.. yet somehow always did. From quiet late-night calls to stadium lights and storms, they learned how love can be both a home and a battlefield. This is the story of the girl who believed in signs and the boy who didn't.. until she became one. A story of distance, pride, laughter and everything that came before the world knew their names.
Almost, Always 🍁🥀
"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.
AFTER THE FINAL BELL
In a world where silence speaks louder than words... Kavya thought she had buried her past. But when Vivaan-her once everything, now a stranger-walks back into her life, the walls she's built begin to crack. With every unspoken word and stolen glance, the past claws its way back. Love, betrayal, unfinished confessions-and a silence that burns hotter than fire. Because some things are never truly over... They thought it ended with the final bell. But some stories begin after it. ❝What if the person you were trying to forget... is the only one who ever truly saw you?❞ ❝Can two people who couldn't stand each other... survive what still lingers between them?❞ 💔 A slow-burn, emotionally intense story of what's said in the quiet and felt in the fire. 🌙 For readers who love aching tension, complex characters, and poetic pain.
Yours, still.
They weren't supposed to meet like this- on a swing, in a park, between coffee jitters and emotional damage. She wore a hoodie. He wore a smile that forgot things. And somewhere between the jokes, the near-death rescue, and the carved arrow... their story started telling itself again. Not everything was clear. Not every memory returned. But hearts? They tend to recognize each other- even when the brain hasn't caught up yet. And if an arrow appears- carved in wood, buried in stone- you follow it. Even if it leads straight back into the chaos.
Wife Over Life
What if the one you married... was planning your funeral? She was everything he never had time for. And everything he should've stayed away from. Now, two years later, he stands at the altar... and says the one thing he shouldn't have: "I do." But Rose didn't marry for love. She married to win. And someone won't survive this marriage.
Echoes of Us
He was alone, adrift in a life that felt empty, teetering on the edge of despair. She appeared unexpectedly-a stranger, yet someone who could see him in ways no one else ever had. One night, one moment, changed everything. Words were exchanged, hearts opened, and lives were altered but some encounters leave more than memories. They leave echoes. As time stretches on, love and loss weave together, shaping the paths we walk, the choices we make, and the people we become. How far would you go to hold onto someone... even when you know they can't stay?Complete
