Sensitive. Intimate. Unfiltered. Read with care.
He understands emotions.
He just refuses to name his own.
Yash Klyster Silva has always believed that feelings shouldn't be assumed unless they're spoken.
It's a shield he's used to protect himself since that one night at a bar. A night that left him questioning everything he thought he knew about his own heart.
He moved out to find answers, but all he found was Jules Kamlesh Valderrama.
Through the scent of Jules' cooking and the heavy tension of things left unsaid, the truth begins to ripple beneath the surface of their every encounter.
Jules sees the parts of Yash that are still holding their breath, waiting to exhale.
In a world where silence is a choice and words are a risk, Will Yash dive deep enough to save what they have, or will he stay safely on the shore until it's too late?

Academic Seduction [profxstudent][wlw]
Ivy Williams didn't come to Heartfelt University for drama. She came to pass her classes, chain-smoke her way through the stress, and stay out of trouble. Then she met Professor Sinclair. Cold, condescending, and infuriatingly attractive, Sinclair seems to have made it her mission to ruin Ivy's life one lecture at a time. But Ivy gives as good as she gets-and the more they clash, the more the tension starts to twist into something else. Something neither of them is ready for but both of them want far too badly. Sharp words turn into slow glances. Power plays turn personal. And soon, the only thing more dangerous than their rivalry... is what might happen if it stops. [wlw]

Unexpected love
Story Description - UNEXPECTED LOVE A single accident on a quiet road becomes the start of something neither of them planned. Sapphire, a talented and determined girl who carries many roles in her life, never expected her ordinary trip home to change everything. Jay, a traveler simply passing through with his family, never thought a wrong turn would lead him to someone he could never forget. From a crash on the road to unexpected reunions in a small province, their lives keep crossing in ways that feel too perfect to be coincidence. Between mountain hikes, river days, shared laughter, and quiet nights under the same roof, something begins to grow between them-soft, unspoken, and real. But time is never on their side. As Jay's journey nears its end, both of them are forced to face the truth: some connections are not meant to stay forever... only to change you in the time they're given. Unexpected Love is a story about timing, fate, and the kind of love that arrives without warning-but never truly leaves.Complete
The Silent Sister
Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. SA. Self-harm. Death, and more.
The Page Where We Began
In the quiet hush of a small library where time seems to turn more gently, Riven lives a life measured in pages-orderly, predictable, and safely distant from the kind of stories he shelves every day. He knows how tales begin and end, how characters fall in love and fall apart, but he has never quite believed those moments could belong to him. Then one rainy afternoon, Clara walks in. She isn't searching for anything extraordinary-just a worn, familiar poetry collection-but in helping her find it, Riven unknowingly turns a page in his own life. What begins as a simple exchange of words slowly unfolds into shared silences, soft laughter between shelves, and conversations that linger long after the library lights dim. There are no grand declarations, no sweeping turns of fate-only the quiet, steady rhythm of two lives beginning to align. Through borrowed books, gentle routines, and the comfort of presence, Riven and Clara discover a love that doesn't demand to be seen to be felt. It grows in the margins, in the pauses, in the spaces where words are no longer needed. And when the time comes to place a ring upon a page-casting a heart-shaped shadow that says everything they cannot-what they find is not an ending, but the beginning of something far more enduring. Because some love stories aren't written in bold ink or dramatic lines. Some are simply lived-softly, sincerely, and one page at a time.Complete![ကျုပ်မြတ်နိုးရပါသော ဒေါက်တာ [ Completed ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/410650656-256-k302692.jpg)

Held in Violent Hands
"Fine," she said. "If you won't take me seriously like this, I'll go put on my mafia outfit." Sloane squinted at her. "Your what?" "My mafia outfit." Before either of them could stop her, Lila jumped off the bed and ran out of the room. ____ Three minutes later, Lila came back. And Blair nearly spat out her coffee. Because apparently, "mafia outfit" meant she had dressed entirely in black-black cargo pants, a black long-sleeve shirt, black socks, and... Sunglasses. Inside. At breakfast time. Lila stood in the doorway like she had just stepped out of the world's least threatening action movie. "Well?" Sloane looked at her for a long moment. Then at Blair. Then back at Lila. "...No." Lila frowned. "What do you mean no?!" "I mean you look like a twelve-year-old trying to rob a gas station."
The Sister They Left Behind
"They didn't stop loving her... They just stopped believing her." Ruhanika Rajvansh-Ruhi-wasn't just the only sister of the Rajvansh brothers; she was their heartbeat, their happiness, and the little princess they had once sworn to protect forever. Until one lie changed everything. At the age of twelve, Ruhi was accused of a mistake she never committed. The five brothers who had once promised to stand beside her chose silence over trust and punishment over love. Without listening to her, they sent her away, believing they were teaching their stubborn little sister a lesson. But they never realized... They weren't sending away a mistake. They were leaving behind the soul of their family. Ten years later, the innocent little girl is gone. In her place stands Ruhanika Rajvansh-a world-renowned fashion designer, the CEO of a global fashion empire, and a woman who has built a life without the people who once meant everything to her. When destiny brings the Rajvansh family back into her life, the truth they buried for years finally comes to light. She was innocent. Now, the brothers who once let her go are willing to sacrifice everything to bring their sister home. But what if "home" no longer exists for her? What if someone else has already become her family? And what if the only person who can reach the broken pieces of her heart is the man who lovingly calls her... "Rooh." A heart-wrenching story of unconditional love, shattered trust, unbearable regret, healing, and second chances-where some promises are broken, some bonds are tested, and some scars never truly fade.
Falling softly in the Country side
It has always been Ely's life-to live quietly in the province of Negros Oriental, where days move slow and hearts learn to be content. Hindi siya mayaman. Hindi siya ipinanganak na may maraming pribilehiyo. Ngunit marunong siyang magpasalamat kahit sa maliliit na bagay. Sanay siya sa payak na pamumuhay-naglalakad sa lupa nang walang sapin sa paa, pinagmamasdan ang paglubog ng araw na para bang may kinukuwentong lihim, at nangangarap... hindi lamang para sa sarili, kundi para sa pamilyang kanyang pinanghahawakan. Para kang Ely, sapat na ang tahimik na buhay at makatapos sa pag-aaral. Hanggang sa dumating ang isang taong hindi kabilang sa mundo niya. Zavion-a city boy from Manila, raised in a fast-paced world where everything is calculated and nothing is ever slow. He is distant, composed, and used to leaving before anything can make him stay. The countryside, to him, is nothing but a temporary place... a pause before he goes back to reality. But then, there was Ely. A girl is too gentle for his chaos and a life too quiet for his world. Two different lives, crossing paths in the most unexpected way. Sa bawat pagtitig, sa bawat maliit na sandali, Ely became the hyper in Zavion's life but he never knew he needed-while Zavion became the risk she never planned to take. He fell first. And then... he fell even harder. But in a love that stands between staying and leaving, only one truth remains- Who will stay, and who will walk away? Because sometimes, even the softest love can turn into something painful... ...in a story of falling softly in the countryside?
