Milah, a 24-year-old aspiring jewelry designer, lives a life that looks picture-perfect on the outside - loyal friends, a job at a luxury fashion house, and a curated world of red lipstick and self-protection. But beneath her composed surface, she hides years of grief after losing her parents in a mysterious accident no one ever talks about.
When she finds a vintage necklace at a street vendor - one that looks exactly like the one her mother wore the night she died - Milah is pulled into a whirlwind of questions. Who did the necklace really belong to? And why does it match sketches in her mother's old design journal?
Enter Zayn, a dangerously charming antiques dealer with ties to the city's underground art world. Zayn claims he's been looking for the necklace too - and for Milah. Together, they begin unraveling the tangled past between their families, a decades-old betrayal, and a truth that could destroy everything she thought she knew about her parents.
As the two race against time and enemies who want the past to stay buried, Milah must decide whether she can trust Zayn - or her own heart.

Threads of the Heart
In a world where tradition still holds power, two extraordinary women find themselves caught in a pact made long before they understood the meaning of love. Mariah Queen Arceta, known to the public as Aiah, is a 24-year-old fashion powerhouse. As the CEO and founder of the globally celebrated clothing brand ARC, she has built an empire with elegance, grace, and quiet determination. Known for her ethereal beauty and demure presence, Aiah is often described as soft-spoken and kind a true modern muse. Behind her success, however, lies a life dictated by responsibility and familial expectation. Mikhaela Janna Lim, or Mikha, is a prodigy in the medical field. At just 23, she is the youngest Cardiothoracic surgeon in the Philippines and already heads her department at St. Luke's Global City. Calm, composed, and enigmatic, she's often called the "Face Card" of the hospital not just for her striking, androgynous beauty but for the way she commands a room. Behind closed doors, Mikha unwinds through late-night Valorant games, where she lets loose her competitive, playful side far from the cool and stoic doctor the world sees. Their lives, so different yet equally intense, collide when a long-standing agreement between their families resurfaces: an arranged marriage neither of them expected nor wanted. Thrown into a commitment built on legacy rather than love, Aiah and Mikha must navigate their growing bond while balancing careers, public expectations, and the question of what love truly means when it's written into fate. But as secrets are revealed and walls begin to fall, will this unexpected union become the greatest love story neither of them saw coming?Complete

Beneath The Gilded Glass (MIKHAIAH)
They say perfection is an illusion. From afar, her world looked untouchable - a life carved from power, wealth, and unshakable reputation. The daughter of a man who owned more than just buildings, but people's respect and fear. To everyone else, she was enviable, flawless, born to win. But behind the polished smiles and glass walls, she was just a girl suffocating under expectations. A puppet molded by duty, a soul burdened by secrets no one dared to name. Love was never promised to her; it was a weakness she was taught to reject. Until she met her. Radiant. Fearless. Everything she was not, and everything she secretly longed to be. In her presence, the cracks began to show - not as flaws, but as proof she was human. And now, caught between the weight of her world and the fire of something real, she has to face the truth: Even the strongest glass shatters. Even the coldest heart can burn.
WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE (MIKHAIAH AU)
She has everything-power, prestige, and a name that commands respect. Mikhaela Janna Lim, the eldest daughter of the illustrious Lim family, has built her empire from steel and glass-an architect of dreams and distance, admired by many but known by none. She has nothing but dreams-and the fire to chase them. Maraiah Queen Arceta, a fearless scholar in Spain, balances her life between sketches and catwalks, clinging to her passion for fashion and her search for the mother who vanished years ago. Two women from worlds that were never meant to meet. One unexpected encounter abroad. What began as inspiration turned into something neither could control-a love that defied reason, class, and fate itself. But destiny can be cruel. An accident shatters everything, leaving Aiah with fragments of Spain buried deep in her memory-and Mikha, now a cold and distant CEO, forced to face the woman who once held her heart but no longer remembers her. Now, Aiah works under Mikha's watchful eye, drawn to her presence with a pull she cannot explain. There's something in Mikha's gaze-something that aches, something that hides a truth too painful to speak. Why does her heart race at the sound of Mikha's voice? Why do her hands tremble at her touch? And why do Mikha's eyes look like they've already lost her once before? When love becomes both memory and wound, how far will they go to rebuild what fate has broken? A story of ambition, secrets, and the kind of love that ruins and redeems.Complete

And the lace that once concealed it all is about to rip. Pull one thread. Watch everything burn.
Blood Bound, Bone Deep
Feyra has always known that her magic comes at a cost. Every time she heals, she takes the wound into herself-burning it into her skin, into her bones, into the scar over her heart that never truly fades. But pain is a small price to pay to protect the people she loves. Especially Mila-her best friend, her constant, her heart-sister. At the Academy, students train to bond with wyverns, master ancient magic, and survive the politics of bloodlines and power. But when Mila's shapeshifting demon heritage spirals out of control during a training trial, Feyra is forced to push her power further than she ever has before-nearly losing her life to pull Mila back from the brink. Now recovery is slow, the pain is unrelenting... and everyone has questions. Including Zeraph-the new third-year leader with a reputation sharp enough to cut. Stoic, disciplined, and carved from controlled fire, he believes Feyra's sacrifice was reckless. She believes he doesn't understand what loyalty means. And Zero-her closest friend and constant defender-has no intention of letting Zeraph dictate anything. But Feyra's scars are changing. Mila's demon forms grow harder to control. And deep beneath the school, in the old wyvern tunnels, something ancient has begun to stir-responding to Feyra's mark... and to the bond between them. Some magic binds. Some magic burns. Some magic was never meant to exist. And the price of saving each other may be becoming the very thing everyone fears.

Now, as shadows from their past creep back, A'ishah and Maxine must confront their buried feelings and survive a danger that's closer than they think.
