She's the murderer's daughter. Cold. Quiet. Untouchable.
He's the boy who smiles like nothing scares him-until he meets her.
Zaria doesn't need anyone. Not after what happened.
Not after her mother took the fall for a crime she didn't commit.
Not after the world branded her a monster's child.
But Riven sees her. The real her.
The one behind the walls.
The one who still wakes up screaming at 3 AM.
He follows her through silence, sarcasm, and the storm she hides inside.
She pushes him away-but he stays.
He always stays.
Until one day... he vanishes.
And Zaria realizes the scariest thing of all-
She might've needed him more than she ever wanted to admit.
A story about trauma, slowburn love, and healing in the quiet moments.
He calls her ghost. She calls him stray cat. Neither of them knows how to say "don't leave."

The Caretaker He Bought
"You're not here to fall in love." "Trust me, sir... I don't even know what that means." She was sold like a possession-traded away by the very people who were supposed to protect her. At just seventeen, she finds herself in a cold, unfamiliar mansion owned by a powerful man known for his silence, strict rules, and a heartbreak he never talks about. His only condition? Take care of his one-year-old daughter. Don't speak unless spoken to. Don't enter his study. Never touch him. For her, following orders is nothing new. Obedience has kept her alive this long. But the baby's soft cries break something inside her, and her tender touch begins to warm a house that forgot what love felt like. He tells himself she's just a caretaker. Just a temporary solution. But night after night, she shatters rule after rule... And soon, his heart becomes the final one to break. 🎯 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞 Genre: Romance / Drama / Slow Burn / Hurt-Comfort Age rating: 16+ (emotional abuse themes, mature emotional content)
The Stray
She's survived everything - except family. Grace has spent her life outrunning the past: a childhood of scars, the system that failed her, and an ex who nearly destroyed her. At twenty-four, she's finally free - until a DNA test reveals a half-sister she never knew, and an invitation to a town where blood runs thick and the rules are written in chrome and loyalty. Her brothers don't want her there. Their motorcycle club doesn't trust her. And Ash - tattooed, ice-eyed, and unreadable - keeps his distance. Until he doesn't. Because the moment Grace starts to matter, everything shifts. Tensions rise, threats surface, and Ash finds himself crossing lines he swore he wouldn't - especially for someone like her. She's survived the worst the world could throw at her. But in a place where trust is earned in bruises and belonging is paid for in blood, learning to be protected might be the one thing that breaks her. -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Very slow burn - don't say I didn't warn you! But worth it, I promise. Enemies to lovers vibes. Intended for audiences 18+Complete
Little Light (GxG)
In a world that moves too fast, she's learning to breathe slowly. To feel again. To let someone touch the parts of her she thought were long gone. There are no crowns here. No thrones. Just the quiet war of learning how to be held without flinching. She doesn't beg for safety. She creates it in silence. And when she kneels, it's not for weakness- it's because she trusts. But trust has a pulse. And it just might be hers. A story of shadows softened by light, of control given, not taken. Of healing whispered through touch, and love written in silence. This isn't where the pain begins. It's where it learns to rest. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ : EMOTIONAL INTIMACY SUBSPACE SLOW-BURN HEALING TRIGGERING THEMES (VULNERABILITY, TRUST, PAST TRAUMA) 🔴 Tops: 🔴 1.

MARCELLA
In the quiet corners of a small town, Marcella lives with a fire she never asked for. Born with a name that means goddess of war, she has spent her entire life trying-and failing-to tame the rage that burns inside her. Her anger isn't loud all the time, but it's always there, just beneath the surface, waiting to erupt. Because of it, friendships have faded, trust has cracked, and peace feels like something made for other people. Now twenty-three, Marcella wakes each morning hoping to feel normal. Hoping not to snap. But even on the calmest days, something always finds a way to go wrong. She's tired of hurting the people she loves-especially the two boys who've stood by her through every meltdown and mess. They see the girl behind the fire, even when she doesn't. This is Marcella's story ,raw, unfiltered, and painfully human. It's about learning to face the past, to accept help, and to believe just maybe that she's more than the anger she's carried for so long. Marcella is a heartbreaking and inspiring journey of self-discovery, emotional survival, and the power of love that chooses to stay.Complete
His Darkest Light
He is the storm everyone fears-cold eyes, ruthless hands, and a past he never speaks of. She is the silence after chaos-soft yet scarred, with a smile that hides a thousand bruises. They weren't meant to collide. But fate doesn't knock-it crashes. In a world where trust is a luxury and love is a weapon, two broken souls find something dangerously rare: understanding. Not despite their pasts... but because of them. He sees her pain like it's his own. She touches his wounds like they were hers to heal. And in the quiet between war and peace, rage and tenderness- they become each other's home. This is the story of Rehaan Singhania and Ahaana Sharma. Not perfect. Not easy. But deeply, irrevocably theirs.
