FOREWORD
This story isn't about flowers.
Or love.
Well-both are in it. Just not in the way you'd expect.
Jasmine can be beautiful, but suffocating.
Love can be sweet, but also poisonous.
And memories?
They're the biggest illusion of all.
Sometimes you think you remember what happened.
But what if you only remember what someone wanted you to?
When I came to this town, I was just a girl in platform shoes, smudged lipstick, and a clear plan:
Clear out the house. Sign the papers. Leave.
Instead, I found a garden that won't die.
A villa that whispers in dreams.
And someone I should've never met.
Maybe he doesn't even exist.
Maybe... I made him up.
I don't know how much of what I'm about to tell you is real.
But every word happened.
Or is happening. Somewhere. Again and again.
All it takes is one step into the flowers-
And nothing is ever the same.

Part 2 : His Silence, My Storm - Drowning In Hope
They say love begins in silence... but no one ever warns you how deeply it hurts when that silence never ends. This is not a love story. It is a story of almosts - of late-night conversations that lingered too long, unspoken feelings that grew too heavy, and eye contact that somehow meant everything... yet nothing at all. She loved him quietly. And when she finally tried to speak, he never listened in the way her heart needed him to. So she became patient. She became understanding. She became everything for him... except chosen. And somewhere between unsent messages, mixed signals, and words left hanging in the air, she realized something heartbreaking- Love does not always destroy you loudly. Sometimes... it slowly drowns you in silence.Complete

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.
WHISPERS BETWEEN WORLDS ; He Loved Me Telepathically" or "Soul Games
I didn't ask for the voices. Or the dreams. Or to fall for someone I couldn't touch, who knew my thoughts before I even had them. Zaire came into my life like a haunting-sweet, seductive, and laced with something I couldn't explain. But behind every pull, there was pain. Behind every message, a manipulation. This isn't just a love story. It's my survival story. A girl caught between two worlds-spiritual and real-trying to figure out if what she feels is fate, obsession, or something far more dangerous. And the biggest question of all: If he's in my head... does that mean he's ever truly been in my heart?Complete
