I was seventeen when I learned the family I grew up with wasn't mine. I was standing in a school computer lab, fixing a line of code, when my mother's voice broke over the phone and rewrote my entire life. A hospital mistake. A mass-casualty night. Two babies switched at birth. The wealthy Blake family-the tech empire everyone knows-has a daughter who isn't biologically theirs. And I'm the one who is. When I'm brought to the Blake estate, I expect answers. Maybe distance. Maybe awkwardness. What I don't expect is the girl they raised refusing to let go-and the family choosing her anyway. Vivienne Blake is everything I'm not: polished, fragile, adored. And she's terrified of losing the life she was given. So she does what anyone desperate would do. She turns them against me. As secrets surface, loyalties fracture, and blood proves less powerful than comfort, I'm forced to ask myself one question: What do you do when the family that belongs to you... doesn't want you?

Fracture - Too Loud to Be Okay Book 2 of the OFF LIMITS Series by Fiona Jule Talia is loud because silence destroys her. Mason is reckless because standing still hurts too much. They joke. They party. They pretend they're fine. But when two people use noise to survive, silence becomes dangerous. Because Talia's laughter hides a past that never stopped bleeding. Because Mason's chaos is the only thing keeping his demons quiet. And because the closer they get, the harder it becomes to keep pretending. ⚠️ Trigger Warning ⚠️ This story contains heavy and potentially triggering themes.

Their story begins where most love stories end, With heartbreak. Ivy Marquez thought distance would heal her. Yale was supposed to be her fresh start; a place where she could bury the ache of what she left behind and prove to herself she could stand on her own.

Christopher Gonzales wasn't supposed to see her again. Oxford was his escape, his chance to become someone untouched by the past. But every courtroom dream, every victory he chases, carries the shadow of the girl he let slip through his fingers. When fate throws them back into each other's lives: two interns forced to work side by side, the years apart dissolve like smoke. Old love burns too bright to stay buried. But the closer they get, the more fragile everything becomes. But this time, the threat isn't the past-it's the future. PART 2 OF ALMOST IS NEVER ENOUGH

"I loved him in the spaces where he refused to tell the truth." Amelia never planned to fall into Ethan Raines' world - a man shaped by silence, pride, and truths he never learned how to speak. What begins as comfort becomes connection, and then something far more dangerous: love. But when the past refuses to stay buried and faith is stretched thin, Amelia and Ethan must face a painful question - can love survive honesty, or does truth always cost something? Hearts and Half-Truths is a quiet, slow-burn romance about healing, faith, and the courage it takes to love without hiding.

Abhilasha's name means desire. Unfortunately, society has very specific ideas about what that desire should be. Caught between a ticking marriage clock and a job that punishes her for having a spine, Abhilasha struggles with expectations, anger, and the fear of becoming a disappointment. This is not a love story. It's a story about becoming-about choosing yourself in a world that insists you belong to someone else.

In the Concord, love is a program-not a feeling. At twenty-two, Liova gets one chance to match before the system quietly decides she's better off alone. At the government-run Coupling Party, everything is staged: recycled décor, endless tests, a scripted speech. Liova wants to succeed. She wants to belong. Then she meets Coren. He's charming in a way that feels practiced, familiar in a way that feels designed. Choosing him isn't rebellion. It's alignment. And Liova has to decide what's more frightening: going against the Concord... or wanting exactly what it wants. Because the Concord is never what it seems. And what appears to be a love story might be far more sinister under the surface. There's always calm before the storm. 🌧️ I'm updating regularly until it's complete-come join the journey. 💕

Aarav and Meera never planned for forever. At 29, they were just two people casually navigating modern love-swiping right, dodging commitment, and avoiding the dreaded "so where is this going?" conversation. But fate had other plans. What started as something light and effortless became something deeper, something scarier. Soon, late-night texts turned into silent arguments, inside jokes turned into unspoken fears, and the question they had spent years avoiding became impossible to ignore. Love isn't just about falling. It's about staying. Through emotional distance. Through the mess of everyday life. Through the quiet doubts that creep in when the honeymoon fades. Aarav and Meera have a choice-fight for what they have or let it slip into the "almost" pile of their past. But love, like life, is never that simple.

Jiang and Jing Jing were married for seven years, childhood sweethearts who grew into adults moving at different speeds. When Jiang falls into an affair with his ambitious colleague, Amanda, he doesn't plan to leave-until Jing Jing quietly agrees to a divorce without asking him to stay. What Jiang doesn't know is that on the same day she discovers his betrayal, Jing Jing is diagnosed with cancer. Choosing dignity over confrontation, Jing Jing lets him go without explanation, believing love sometimes means stepping aside. It's only when her illness forces them back into each other's orbit-through hospital corridors, recovery rooms, and unspoken truths-that Jiang realizes what he has already lost. As surgery, survival, and regret intertwine, Jiang must face the difference between responsibility and love, while Jing Jing must decide whether trust, once broken at her most vulnerable moment, can ever be rebuilt. This is not a story about reunion. It is a story about timing, fear, and what remains after love has already been tested by truth.

She stayed. Not because it was easy, but because leaving once felt harder than surviving every day. She was still his wife, still sharing the same house, still praying for the same man- yet slowly becoming invisible. Still Married, Already Alone is a quiet story about loyalty, emotional neglect, and the moment a woman chooses herself without hatred, without drama, without losing her softness. This is not a story about divorce. It's a story about a woman who stopped disappearing just to keep love alive.

For Anna and Alex, it was a fake marriage-at least on the surface. But deep within, it was something far more profound than either of them had expected. Anna was innocent, carrying a heart full of responsibilities and unfulfilled dreams. Meeting him was the first disruption in her carefully balanced, ordinary life-one she never saw coming. Alex, on the other hand, was controlled, bossy, and used to being in charge. For someone like him, meeting her felt like discovering a missing piece of himself-something he never realized he was searching for. They were opposites in every way. She was talkative, filling silences with warmth. He spoke only when the world around him grew quiet. And somewhere between those silences, they began to belong to each other.

She didn't plan to fall apart, but maybe breaking was the only way to find something real. Between the quiet corners of Rome and the noise of New York, she begins to piece herself back together, one memory, one heartbeat, one hour at a time. Tender Hours is a story about love that lingers, loss that reshapes you, and the beauty of beginning again. #1 ArtGallery - 24 Nov #1 WomenWriters - 24 Nov #89 NewYork out of 30.9K stories - 24 Nov

Ivy Marquez believes in love the way some people believe in prayers-quietly, stubbornly, even when it hurts. She's soft-hearted, too hopeful for her own good, and swears she won't fall for boys who'll ruin her. Christopher Gonzales wasn't supposed to be different. A boy with a broken past, a heart that still writes letters to someone who won't read them, and eyes that linger too long when he thinks no one's watching. But the more Ivy sees him, the more she realizes he's not the rumors. He's the kind of boy who makes her laugh until she forgets she's afraid of getting hurt. The kind of boy who makes her believe love is worth the risk. And for the first time, Christopher wants to risk it too. But love has bad timing. Cameron Palmer-her ex-knows exactly how to ruin things. And when Ivy finds out about the ghost of Christopher's first love, she starts to wonder if she's just another almost for him. She tries to forget him. He prays she'll come back. Because Christopher may have loved once before-but Ivy? She's his last.

High school is messy, college is chaotic, and growing up is even messier. Mia and Alex's story isn't just about first love it's about mistakes, laughter, heartbreak, and learning to stand on your own. From crowded classrooms to late-night study sessions, from awkward crushes to real friendships, they discover that life's most important lessons often come with a smile...and sometimes, a tear.

Some loves arrive softly. Others leave scars that never fade. Ajith never thought first love would stay with him this long. From school corridors to college classrooms, he grows up carrying a heartbreak he never learned how to let go of. Just when he believes the past is buried, love returns-unexpected, fragile, and dangerously familiar. Caught between who he was and who he's becoming, Ajith must choose: hold on to what once broke him, or finally face the truth his heart refuses to forget. A slow-burn, coming-of-age romance inspired by real moments, real emotions, and the memories that refuse to fade. Updates every Saturday & Sunday.

A group of seemingly ordinary teenagers discovers they are anything but. Each of them carries extraordinary abilities-powers they never asked for, and secrets they barely understand. Elemental forces long thought buried begin to surface, tied to stolen bloodlines and ancient curses. With them comes a brutal truth: curses are not broken without cost. And sooner or later, someone always pays in blood. Mason Cohen is not like the others. Raised to believe in order, control, and restraint, he knows exactly what chaos looks like-and how to end it. But beneath his calm exterior lies a secret he cannot afford to reveal. Something unstable. Unforgiving. Something that has already crossed a line that can never be uncrossed. His purpose is clear. The curse must end. Aurora Gaultier was never supposed to matter. At first, she's useful-helpful, trusting, and unaware of how deeply entangled she already is. Her abilities seem unusual but harmless, and Mason sees her as a means to an end. She believes in him. Believes he's honest. Believes he's safe. Falling in love was never part of the plan. As their bond deepens, Mason is forced to confront the cost of what he's done, what he's taken, and what breaking the curse might truly require. Every shared moment tightens the knot around his secret, turning his mission into something far more dangerous-and far more personal. Because when the truth finally surfaces, it won't just shatter trust. It will decide who survives. Trust becomes a weapon. Love becomes a gamble. And the line between ally, enemy, and executioner begins to blur. Mason was never supposed to care. But protecting Aurora may cost him everything. And fate, as always, has other plans.
