Unspoken Desires by peachybloomer

In a world full of broken hearts and whispered secrets, Avery has learned to build walls no one can breach. Until the day Jasper walks into her life. Avery doesn't believe in second chances or happy endings. Her past is a jagged puzzle she's learned to keep hidden beneath a smile, and she keeps her distance from everyone to protect herself from the inevitable pain of being let down. But when she meets Jasper, a mysterious new student with a magnetic presence, everything she thought she knew about love, trust, and herself is thrown into question. Jasper isn't like anyone Avery has met before. There's something about him-an unspoken understanding in his eyes, a quiet pull that drags her closer, no matter how much she pushes him away. But behind his calm exterior lies a past as fractured as her own, one that will either bring them together or tear them apart. As their lives become entwined, secrets unravel, emotions flare, and the line between love and pain becomes impossible to ignore. But in a world of broken promises, can they both heal-or will their hearts remain shattered?

The Price of Innocence by TshepisoTsona4

"Some ghosts don't haunt to scare you. They haunt to remind you what you lost." Thandi's innocence echoed in every memory she shared with her sister. She's accepted the truth - her sister is gone, and nothing can change that. But everything shatters the moment she sees her again. Alive. Smiling. Real. Now caught between the sister she loves and the man she's come to care for, Thandi must make an impossible choice - one that will teach her that even innocence comes with a price. In a world of power, secrets, and ruthless ambition, every choice has consequences. Loyalties will be tested, hearts will be broken, and betrayal lurks in the most unexpected places. Survival is only the beginning; when nothing is as it seems, even the purest hearts cast the darkest shadows.

In a world of betrayal and revenge, will love be their salvation - or their ultimate downfall? "Fate brought them together again, but will the truth tear them apart...or bind them forever?"

Unconditional Love: From Unfinished to Forever by WoundedButterfly

She was his past. His "what-if." His unfinished chapter. He left without a word. No explanation. No goodbye. Just silence-cold, heavy, louder than any heartbreak could ever be. The truth came later, sharp and merciless: he had already found someone else. A new girl. A new life. And she-still trapped in the ruins of their love-was left with only questions that had no answers. She never hated him. Not truly. She hated the pain. The emptiness. The nights spent whispering his name into the darkness, hoping it would reach him somehow. She hated how her heart refused to let go, how her love-quiet, loyal, undying-remained, even when he was gone. Years passed. And then he returned. Mature. Changed. Sincere. The boy who had broken her had become a man carrying the weight of his mistakes after he knows the truth about her. Once, they had been reckless hearts, loving without knowing forever. Now, the same love returned-stronger, deeper, and more dangerous than ever. He was her peace in chaos, her truth in silence, the only man she had ever truly loved. And yet, she knew the truth: loving him again could destroy everything. It could break her all over again, or break the life he had now built. And still, the pull between them was irresistible, a force she could not deny. Her heart whispered the choice she would make, even as her mind screamed its warning. Some love-unfinished, eternal, impossible-refuses to be left behind. And she would follow it, knowing the regret that would haunt her for the rest of her life. When hearts-once they have found their other half-will chase it even into heartbreak. Even into ruin. True love is unstoppable and unconditional No matter where life leads, no matter the distance, when one heart trembles, the other reaches without hesitation- to embrace, to soothe, to whisper, "I AM ALWAYS HERE.""
