"Bridget Jones with a lot more wine! This story is hilarious, feel-good and relatable in all the best ways!" - Grace K @ HQ. She's just quit her high-flying job, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Can Alice find a sense of purpose in the wreckage? ***** Alice's life isn't going to plan. She's tied to her phone, pointlessly managing PR for a sinking corporate megalith. She's become a bit player in her kids' lives, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Forcing herself into action with a rash resignation, Alice sets out to make a positive impact on the world around her. But how? Meditation leads to napping, and her attempts to get closer to her teenage daughter result in the discovery of a secret that leaves her at a loss. As the months tick by and a sense of purpose continues to elude her, Alice finds herself forming bonds with the most unlikely characters: the young woman who panhandles outside her old office; the homeless boy who sits cross-legged outside the liquor store with his ginger cat; her own dog walker who, it turns out, knows a thing or two about developing a good crema. Testing the limits of marriage, motherhood and the Toronto subway system -- can Alice find her way into a purpose-driven life? Or will it all be one giant hangover?

She promises herself to keep things strictly professional, guard her heart, and leave the moment her contract ends. But when a medical scare proves Diya is the only one who can truly reach his daughter, Parth's rigid boundaries begin to crack.

Her crimson blood stained his clothes but he seemed not to care, as he watched her take shallow, painful breaths. He was brought back to when he first held, Esther. He remembers feeling so proud to finally become a father. He would watch her take small, shallow breaths for hours everyday. But this time? This time was different.

All good things must come to an end eventually. As Alatar's star stopped breathing, and her eyes unfocused.

Ailith never planned to disappear-until running became her only escape. With a heart bruised by promises that turned into wounds, she leaves behind the people she once loved more than herself, hoping the distance will finally silence the pain she's been carrying for far too long. All she wants is a life where she isn't drowning.. a place where she doesn't have to pretend she's strong when she's breaking. Then there's Finn-steady, untouchable, and unshakably unyielding. A man who sees the world as a series of battles meant to be faced, not feared. He's the kind of person who protects others even when he can't protect himself, the type who shields fragile souls from storms they can no longer survive. So what happens when a shattered, unguarded soul collides with a soul built from walls thicker than steel? When a runaway girl crosses paths with the man who refuses to let her fall again? Two broken worlds. One dangerous connection. And a story that begins the moment their pain recognizes each other.

Yet despite their constant clashes, Chantal can't ignore the way Lander's eyes find hers across crowded rooms. When they're forced to work together to organize the school's biggest event, their rivalry begins to crack, revealing unexpected feelings beneath years of stubborn pride. But with college applications approaching and their futures pulling them in different directions, Chantal and Lander must decide if love is worth risking everything they've planned.

Eve has built her life on one rule, never depend on anyone. Ambitious, relentless, and impossibly good at her job, she climbed her way to the top through sleepless nights, impossible deadlines, and an unwavering belief that success is earned, not given. While others chased love, Eve chased excellence. While others dreamed of soulmates, she built an empire with her own hands. To the world, she is the woman who has everything. Power. Influence. Respect. And she intends to keep it that way. Love has never interested her. Men, even less. After witnessing the ugly side of relationships for most of her life, Eve no longer believes in fairy tales, promises, or forever. She trusts numbers, results, and herself. Nothing else. Then she meets G-Dragon. A global icon whose life couldn't be more different from hers. He's charming when she wants distance, persistent when she wants silence, and somehow manages to slip past every wall she's spent years building. What begins as an inconvenient encounter slowly becomes something far more dangerous, a connection she can't explain and doesn't want to acknowledge. Because falling in love was never part of her plan. And for a woman who has always been in control, losing her heart might be the one thing she cannot afford. But sometimes, the strongest women are the ones most afraid of being loved. And sometimes, the most iconic love stories begin with two people who never believed in them.

When journalist Clara Bennett lands her first job in a busy newsroom, she expects ordinary stories and tight deadlines. Instead, she's given a single assignment: find a library that officially doesn't exist. No records. No location. Only rumors. People claim they've seen it. Some say they've been inside. None of their stories match. As Clara begins to investigate, the details start to shift. Sources go silent. Clues disappear. And the deeper she digs, the more the story begins to feel... wrong. Because this isn't just a place that's hidden. It's a place that shouldn't be found. And once it finds you- you might not find your way back.

Iris is unemployed, burnt out, and one rejection email away from talking to her groceries again. Levi is a broke startup founder with a botany degree he never uses and a camera he never turns on. Neither has a face. Both have a voice. Somehow, between bad chocolate, busted printers, and one ridiculous job ad, that's enough to fall for each other completely. They've never seen each other. They've already met. They just don't know it yet.

With twenty thousand followers on Instagram, a growing travel vlog channel on YouTube, and trips across Asia documenting food, culture, and hidden destinations, Raenerys Cortez is slowly building a name in the travel content world. She's not a superstar and she's not extremely famous, but she's happy that she's achieving her dream step by step, traveling to different places and sharing them with others. Even though she has only visited a few countries so far, some people already recognize her from time to time. She's already happy with that. But she would be even happier if more people watched her videos, which is why she truly puts effort into her vlogs. Until the day came. She was invited to a luxury brand event in Manila. She isn't really fond of fancy social gatherings and big crowds, but for the sake of her vlogging channel, she needed to attend. Besides, it would be a waste to miss the opportunity. She might even get sponsorships or partnerships there. She has always dreamed of that. Until she accidentally and literally trips into Elian Ruiz Liu. Yep, that Elian Ruiz Liu. The internationally famous runway model with millions of fans, luxury campaigns, and a reputation that follows him everywhere. All it takes is one perfectly framed photo, and boom! They're both trending. And not just trending, but trending because of a dating scandal. That definitely wasn't what Rae expected to gain from that event. To control the rumors and protect their reputations, both of their teams come up with a solution: fake the relationship. Just for three months. "It's only acting," they said. But the longer they pretend for the cameras, the harder it becomes to remember where the act ends. Because falling in love was never part of the plan. But the internet already believes their love story. And sometimes... the most convincing lies are the ones that start feeling real.

Two souls from completely different worlds. Each has their own life, their own dreams, and a world built around them. They never imagined that fate would one day weave their paths together. A chance encounter turns into endless arguments, unexpected laughter, silent glances... and a love neither of them ever saw coming. As if the stars had written their names beside each other long before they met. Sometimes, all it takes is one person to walk into your life and change everything forever. ━─━────༺༻────━─━ "You never know when your life is about to change for the better because of someone who has just entered it." ━─━────༺༻────━─━ Author & Writer: Maomao Year : 2026 Release date : 2026/7/2 End date : ?? ════════ ♢.✰.♢ ════════ Note: This story is entirely a work of fiction.
