Eliareine Solenne Villamonte was never supposed to return to the old mansion-nor to the legacy that sleeps within its walls. But when a mysterious letter calls her back, Elia begins to unravel a past she never lived... and a love she was never meant to feel again.
Because Elia isn't just a girl born into the Villamonte name.
She's the reincarnation of a woman whose heart once beat for a Lucero-
a love that ended in tragedy... and blood.
Now, fate places Sorenzo Vale Lucero in her path. Charming, untouchable, and everything she shouldn't want. Their names are tied by history, their families by betrayal. And the warning echoes through time:
"Never love a Lucero."
But how do you resist a soul your heart already remembers?

Loving in Monochrome: The Girl I Saw That Day
"He saw the world in black and white... until he met the girl who loved in every color." Aiden Castillo never believed in fate - only in timing, and how often it betrayed him. High school was a blur of laughter, failed crushes, and questions about what *real love* should feel like. But everything changed when he stepped into college - a new world, new faces, and one familiar name that never left his memory: "Selene Villarez". From awkward texts and first ice cream dates, to quiet nights under the city lights - their story grew in unspoken words and half-meant glances. She was a mystery, a girl who loved both men and women, and yet made Aiden feel seen for the first time. But love, like all fragile things, isn't always painted in color. Sometimes it blooms in shades of gray - between friendship and romance, hope and heartbreak. This is the story of how it all began. A story of first love, almost love, and the moments that made Aiden believe that even monochrome can be beautiful.
Just like ocean waves
Siena Mayumi Villarreal has always believed love was a curse-something fragile, fleeting, and destined to end in ruin. Branded by scandal, haunted by trauma, and burdened by secrets she can barely carry, she keeps her heart locked away, untouched and unloved. Isabela María Roces is everything Siena is not. Valedictorian, volunteer, and the golden girl of a senator's legacy, Isabela was raised to please, perform, and pray the feelings she doesn't understand away. Love-especially the kind that whispers in the dark and wears the same uniform as her- is a sin she refuses to name. But fate doesn't care for reputations or rules. ------------------------------------------------------ "To love is to unravel. To live is to break.

Impossible
New school. New faces. New chaos. When Jacob transfers to Crestwood High, he plans to keep his head down and survive the year quietly. But that plan doesn't last long not after meeting Kiena, the girl with the sharp words and the kind heart, and Lianne, her best friend who seems a little too eager to play matchmaker. Between unexpected friendships, teasing that feels a little too real, and late night talks that blur the line between "just friends" and something more, Jacob's world starts to twist in ways he never imagined. But what happens when friendship turns into feelings neither of them are ready to face? When one night one simple plan changes everything? Maybe love was never part of the plan. Maybe it's the unexpected that makes it unforgettable. 💗

Obsession.
If you like fantasy/romance you should try my story The Flower Longed Death. It is written a LOT better than this one is! -------------------------- "You must've got the wrong impression if you keep expecting to get away with shit like this, so let me make things clear," He says with a calm smile. He moves his face closer to mine, losing the lighthearted grin that had previously cooled my nerves. I get a better look at the scar across the bridge of his nose, and the vague one X'ed onto his lips. Now I want them even more. -------------------------- Eighteen year old Mileva never thought her past would catch up to her after leaving years ago to live in New York City. She didn't think she wanted it to. However, she also didn't think she would cross paths with a guy like Valen, the Italian Mafia's heir. He's only twenty three, but he's somehow the most attractive and intimidating man she has ever met, let alone heard of. Mileva battles her anxiety adjusting to this new life of hers, while Valen is just getting comfortable with his new obsession. -------------------------- Word count: 110,000 There is a lot of graphic content, so please read carefully! List of specific warnings can be found in the introduction. The writing gets better as the story progresses, I promise.Concluida
