Some memories never fade - they only lie quietly beneath the skin, waiting for a single photograph to make the heart remember.
When Caleb left his hometown twelve years ago, he carried with him a single promise: to chase dreams and one day return for Elara, the girl whose gentle smile once made every morning golden. But time, distance, and silence wrote their own story.
Years later, a single click - a Friendster profile - brings her back into his world. Married. Happy. Gone.
Yet some love stories don't end. They simply change form - into memories, regrets, and quiet prayers whispered into the night.

I Left to Protect Her, and Lost Myself
He loved her more than life itself. But love, he believed, wasn't always enough. Haunted by a past he couldn't outrun and a future he feared would destroy her, Zeke made the hardest choice of his life - he walked away from Xyra, the only woman who ever truly saw him. He told himself it was to protect her. To save her from the heartbreak his broken soul would inevitably cause. But time has a cruel way of proving us wrong. Now, years later, Zeke lives in quiet torment, drowning in the silence left behind. She's moved on - or so he tells himself - while he remains stuck in the memory of what could have been. Every missed call, every unwritten letter, every sleepless night is a reminder: he didn't just lose her. He let her go. This is a story of love, regret, and the heavy price of doing what we think is right - even when it shatters everything we truly need. Sometimes, the worst kind of pain... is the one we choose.

I Thought You'd Never Love Me
What happens when the person you've tried hardest to forget walks back into your life... just when your heart starts to hope again? Aria never believed in love. Not because she hadn't been loved, but because she was afraid-afraid of the kind of love that breaks people apart. Rayyan, on the other hand, had loved her since college, in silence and in storms. Years later, a wedding brings them under the same roof again, stirring memories, jealousy, and emotions that were never really buried. With Zoya-their shared connection, a best friend and a sister-at the center of it all, their tangled hearts must find a way through past wounds, buried fears, and the one kiss that changed everything. A slow-burn, heart-warming story of longing, vulnerability, and learning that sometimes... the right kind of love waits until you're ready to feel it.Complete
The Demon's Tongue
Centuries ago, a demon known only as Kael the Silenced was bound inside a forbidden grimoire, his voice sealed by ancient magic.

Now, Kael is free-but his curse binds him to her. She's the only one who can hear his voice without dying, and the only one who can write the words that might unbind them both. Every word he speaks through her ink burns with power-and temptation.
