Coming Home To You
Shera Hayes has spent the last ten years nursing the bittersweet memory of Luke Connors -the boy she loved, the man who confessed his feelings just before vanishing without explanation. In their tight-knit small town, rumors have swirled, but no one knows why Luke left or where he went. All Shera knows is that her heart never moved on. Now, Luke is back, attending a mutual friend's wedding, and the air between them crackles with unresolved emotions. But Luke isn't the same man Shera remembers.

Midnight Rain
She said it like it was nothing - " This isn't a movie, Emnet. Let me go. But that's exactly why I can't. "I know it's not a movie ,Niv," I whisper, trying to keep my voice steady but failing miserably. " That's why I am still here. Because if I let you go now......there won't be a miracle to bring you back . Not like in the movies. I lose you , and thats it." ♡♡♡♡♡ She's haunted by her past-memories she never speaks of, scars she's learned to hide behind ambition and diplomacy. Falling in love? That was never part of the plan. Especially not with him. But he makes her forget the weight she carries... even if just for a moment. All she wants is a happy ending-one where she isn't a burden, where love doesn't come with guilt. ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ He's a man who's spent his whole life being needed, but never truly loved. Calculative, cold to the world-but from the moment he saw her, something shifted. She's the exception. The ache. The soft spot he never thought he'd have. And he'll love her in every way she never believed she deserved. But was this just a fleeting connection between two lonely souls? Or something deeper-something that might finally silence the noise in their heads? ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Scars of the Heart
"Love once gave me wings... but betrayal carved them off and left me bleeding. For five years, I swore I'd never forgive her, no matter how much my soul burned for her. Now that she's mine again, I'll show her love isn't always a blessing-it can be a curse." - Aarav's POV "He held me once like I was the universe between his palms. Now I am nothing but ashes in his fire. Yet, why does my heart still wait for him to see the truth?" - Meera's POV ❝She gave him her soul. He gave her his scars. Now the silence between them is louder than love.❞ Meera once believed in forever. She believed in stolen glances across packed trains, in cheap coffee that tasted like love, in promises whispered under skies that didn't need witnesses. She believed Aarav Malhotra was her destiny. Until the night he thought she betrayed him. Five years of hatred sharpened every corner of Aarav's heart. When fate brought Meera back as his wife, love wasn't waiting for her. Vengeance was. The home she stepped into wasn't a beginning-it was her prison. Every day became a battlefield of her silence against his rage. Every bruise screamed the love she still carried, every tear drowned in the vow she refused to break. She endured-until her body carried not just his cruelty, but his child. But truth is merciless. The betrayal that shattered him never existed. The lies that condemned her were born of greed and malice. And by the time Aarav discovers it-it may already be too late. Because silence is not forgiveness. And sometimes the deadliest love stories are the ones where both survive... broken. A story of shattered voices, unspoken truths, and the brutal collision of love and guilt-this is not a fairy tale. This is the silence that can either kill... or redeemComplete

Abandoned, hunted, and betrayed by the only family he ever had, Luan didn't fall off that cliff, he jumped. Death was the plan. But fate doesn't care about plans. Instead of silence and oblivion, Luan awakens in a world that shouldn't know his name, yet somehow, it does. Dragged through a portal by something ancient and watching, he lands in a realm where cities breathe secrets, maps rewrite themselves, and power answers to him like an echo long buried. A power that isn't his, yet fits him too well. A power the rulers, outcasts, and monsters of this world would do anything to claim. He didn't ask for a second chance. He didn't want one.
