Amora Celia never believed in love at first sight until she saw Ignatius Gabriel.
She smiled when he smiled. She listened when he spoke. She dreamed in the spaces he occupied.
But he didn't know. He never knew. And he never looked her way, not really. Instead, his heart was already drawn to someone else.
From quiet glances across crowded lecture halls, accidental touches she would never mention, to late-night project calls that only deepened the ache in her chest. Amora learned that sometimes, loving someone means watching them choose another.
When the weight of unspoken feelings becomes too much, she leaves. No dramatic farewell. No last words. Just two letters : one for him, one for her friend and a whispered hope that they find happines even if it's without her.
Because sometimes, the bravest love is the one you let go.

Red's Desire - The stalker Obsession Ver.
For a long time, Elaine had admired Jared from afar. He was everything she dreamed of-athletic, charming, and effortlessly popular. As a star on the basketball team, he was the talk of Harmony High, but even so, the admiration around him never reached the point of obsession. The students respected him, sure, but they weren't as smothering as Elaine was. She, on the other hand, couldn't control her feelings. Every glance he threw her way sent her heart racing. Every compliment, every smile, was like fuel to the fire of her unspoken love. At first, Jared seemed flattered by her attention. She'd blush every time he noticed her, and she'd try to find ways to be near him-cheering louder at basketball games, joining clubs just so she could share the same space as him. For a while, it felt like the beginning of something. But then, as the weeks passed, Elaine began to notice something different. His glances became colder, and the casual greetings she'd once received turned into awkward silences. For a while, Jared didn't seem to notice. In fact, he was probably relieved. But then, just as Elaine started to move on, he noticed a shift. She was no longer the girl who followed him everywhere, the girl who wore her heart on her sleeve. She had found something else, something he couldn't understand. He saw her with the new guy-the choir leader. And there was a spark in her eyes that he hadn't seen in a long time. Suddenly, Jared was hit with a rush of emotions-anger, jealousy, but also something deeper, something like regret. Why hadn't he seen it before? Why had he let her slip away? All this time, she had been right there, loving him, but he hadn't bothered to learn about her. He knew everything about her through her actions, but what did he really know about her heart, her thoughts, her life?Complete

She move her head hysterically and tried to free herself but instead, she get more pain when he tightened his hold on her and dig his fingers on her waist. "You are scaring me," she confessed meekly crying and her breath get uneven. "Oh! Sweetheart, I didn't do anything yet and you are already scared of me? Then what will you do when I'll punish you for your betrayal?" The threat hidden in his words causes a shiver down her spine and she feels intimidated. "Just come with me or you will see the worst side of me. " He stated simply. The rage and fury in his eyes made her body start trembling ferociously. *** GENRE : DARK ROMANCE Cover by : @authorzysha ***

Now, fate has thrown Mason and Ella together again- in the most unexpected place, on the most ordinary day. But nothing about seeing each other feels ordinary. It feels like the past rushing back.

Sometimes, it waits.

Summer Memories
Yoona's summer plans were simple: survive the history exam, avoid awkward small talk, and recharge by the sea with a good book. Falling for her brother's best friend? Not on the agenda. But when quiet, bookish Nate offers to help her study, late-night cramming sessions turn into beach walks, stolen glances, and something she never expected-real connection. Between heart-to-hearts under the stars and slow, tender moments that make her chest ache, Yoona starts to wonder if this summer might mean something more. As college approaches and the end of summer looms, friendships shift, love blooms, and secrets unravel-including one that could change everything about the bet they made during the first week at the beach... "I knew that if I wanted to make a move, this was the moment. I snuck a glance at her-her skin glowed under the soft radiance of the lanterns' flickering light. She looked so beautiful. I didn't want to ruin it by saying anything. Instead, I looked down at her hand. Slowly, I shifted mine toward hers, careful not to startle her. She seemed deep in thought, mesmerized by the beauty above us. My hand brushed against hers, then I pulled away instinctively-but when I reached out again, this time a bit more bravely, she didn't retreat. Instead, she moved closer. And when our fingers finally intertwined, I closed my eyes and let the happiness rush through me. The tension in my chest evaporated, and I finally exhaled."
