"It was him. What does he want with me? Mr. Deezel told us to keep this strictly professional, showing up to my apartment definitely don't qualify as professional.
I stood behind the only thing that was keeping us apart, the door. My hand hovered the doorknob because I wanted so badly to see him and touch him. The only problem was that he wasn't mine to touch. Another knock at door filled my ears which caused me to jump.
Then I did the most insane thing you could think of. I let him in. Why would you let him in? My subconscious yelled at me. I yelled back- I don't know!"

Give Us One More Try
Hazel A woman once fueled by dreams of romance and quiet joy, Hazel built her life around the belief that love could be her sanctuary. But lately, that belief feels like a distant echo. The man she once adored now stirs something darker in her-grief, resentment, disbelief. What happened between them wasn't loud, but it was enough to fracture her trust. She knows Xavier didn't mean to hurt her, yet intention doesn't erase the ache. Now, Hazel stands at the edge of her old life, unsure whether she's mourning a love that died-or waking up from a love that never truly lived. Xavier To Xavier, marrying Hazel felt like winning fate's rarest lottery. He loved her deeply, but somewhere along the way, love became possession. He never saw himself as controlling-just certain. Certain that Hazel would understand him, follow him, forgive him. But certainty is brittle. Now, he's left with the wreckage of a marriage he thought was unbreakable, wondering if being "a man" blinded him to the quiet ways he failed her. He doesn't know how to fix it. He only knows he's no longer the man Hazel believed in. Lily Raised in an orphanage tucked away from the world's noise, Lily learned early how to turn loneliness into light. She dreams big, laughs easily, and carries a quiet hope that her parents might still be out there, searching for her. Sister Mary once told her she wasn't born into the orphanage-she was brought there by social workers. "Maybe your parents lost you," she said. That idea clung to Lily like a half-remembered lullaby. Sometimes, she feels she was once close to them, but the memory isn't comforting-it's unsettling. Like a shadow she almost recognized. Still, Lily chooses joy, even when the past whispers otherwise.
Beneath The Scent Of Rain
It reminds him of the night his world fell apart. A night when shadows moved in silence and power wore the scent of lime and cedarwood. Now in his final year of university, all Dunk wants is to focus on his art, protect his shy younger brother, and maybe, just maybe, stop his best friend Phuwin from throwing himself in front of every flirtatious alpha. But fate has other plans. Joong is cold, calculating, and dangerously quiet-the kind of alpha who doesn't need to raise his voice to make a room freeze. CEO by day, feared mafia kingpin by blood-soaked midnight, he hides his true self behind layers of suits, control, and ruthlessness. Until one terrified crybaby omega stumbles into his path. And Joong's carefully built world begins to unravel. Because Dunk isn't just any omega. He's the one Joong can't stop watching. Can't stop craving. Can't stop protecting-even from himself. But obsession has a price. And love may not survive the storm #joongdunk #pondphuwin #geminifourth #taynew #earthmixComplete
Another Man's Treasure

Nathan looks away from my eyes, inhaling. "Maybe the little things that you consider your weakness are actually the things that people treasure most about you.
