The Weight Of My Heart❤️ by LabiNoor_writes
21 parts Ongoing
She only meant to help her best friend escape a blind date. He only meant to punish the woman who ruined his family. Neither of them expected love to be the cruelest lie of all. Dr. Mira Das had always been the quiet one - brown-skinned, soft around the edges, a middle-class girl with more kindness than confidence. When she fell for Arav Malhotra, the cold, self-made CEO who saw the world through power and precision, she thought she'd finally been chosen for who she truly was. But love built on secrets never lasts. The night she confessed her feelings - he confessed his revenge. She left him that night with tears in her eyes and a heartbeat growing beneath her own. Four years later, she's no longer the fragile girl he broke - she's a doctor known for her calm, her courage, and her silence. When she's assigned to treat an elderly man in a powerful family's mansion, she accepts - unaware that fate is leading her straight back to the ghost of her past. She doesn't know she's stepped into the home she once dreamed of building with him. And between them stands a truth neither of them is ready to face - a four-year-old boy with Arav's eyes and Mira's heart. "The Weight of My Heart" is a story of love born from lies, hearts stitched together by time, and the kind of forgiveness that hurts more than hate ever could. Because sometimes, the person who broke you is the only one who can put you back together - if fate gives them a second chance. GUYS PLEASE CHECK IT OUT!!!!

Marja joutuu palaamaan kotipaikkakunnalle hoitamaan äitiään, yrittää sopeutua Keriän ahdasmieliseen kulttuuriin ja uhraa kaiken, mitä on pitänyt tärkeänä. Samalla hän tulee kuorineeksi haudattua menneisyyttään kuin homeista sipulia löytääkseen sen toisen totuuden - ja toivottavasti tuoreen alun. Jaakko on eläköitynyt poliisi, jolla on vaikeuksia hyväksyä iän tuomia rajoitteita ja tarkoituksen katoamista elämästään. Sattuman kauppana löydetyt ystävät saavat miettimään onko hänellä sittenkin jotain annettavaa. Ville opettelee aikuisuutta ja uskoo, että omiin juuriin tutustuminen auttaisi solmimaan rauhan menneisyyden kanssa ja rakentamaan identiteetin, jota ei varjostaisi rikkonainen isäsuhde. Varsin pian hän joutuu toteamaan haukanneensa suuremman palan kuin pystyy nielemään. Kaksi sukua, joiden tarinat kietoutuivat toisiinsa kerran, erottuivat petoksen vuoksi, kunnes sattuma tuo heidät jälleen kerran yhteen.
"Things I Never Said Out Loud" by LIA12WREN
46 parts Ongoing
This is not pretty poetry. These are truths I was never taught to speak. Here lie the words I swallowed, the pain I buried, and the questions they told me not to ask. For the unheard. For the unseen. For the ones who feel too much in a world that tells them to feel less. I write for you. I write for me.
