In late 1947, on a cold train climbing to the Bauchi Plateau in Northern Nigeria, a young man named Hassan meets an old, tired Mallam Alhaji Ibrahim Ilia. The Mallam looks poor and broken — dirty clothes, cracked skin from the harmattan wind, tears in his eyes. But he carries a special blue passport from 1927, showing a strong young man in a fine turban. Curious, Hassan talks to him. The old man shares shocking secrets: he was once a doctor and healer in the army, traveled to Mecca and far places, and now he is dying — from an old wound and poison he took himself. He says, "I just want to die." Before his time runs out, the Mallam begs to tell his full life story. He feels Hassan will understand. As the train nears Jos, the old man shares his past — a tale of faith, hard journeys, love, pain, and choices that changed everything. What made this wise, devout man choose death? What adventures and losses hide in his twenty-year passport? Read his heartfelt story, told in his own words, before the final stop.

She ran from love once. This time, love won’t let her go. Four years ago, Sophie disappeared without explanation, leaving behind the only home and the only man she had ever loved. She told herself it was the right choice — that protecting her heart meant protecting the family that saved her after tragedy took everything from her. But when she returns, nothing is the same. Harley Huang is no longer the warm, gentle man she remembers. He is calm, distant, unreadable — and colder than the silence she left behind. Forced to face him again, Sophie tries to rebuild her life at the hospital, convincing herself they can remain nothing more than friends. Until everything changes. A forgotten night. A hidden truth. A child tying her fate back to him. And just when her heart begins to drift toward someone safe, another woman appears — threatening to take Harley away for good. For the first time, Sophie feels it clearly: She never stopped loving him. But love is not enough when fear, guilt, and years of silence stand between them. This is a story about love that waited, love that broke, and love that found its way home.

Two years ago, Zay Niall Earl did the only thing he could to save his own heart: he packed his bags and ghosted his unrequited crush. After twenty-four months of healing abroad, Zay is finally back in his hometown. He is older, wiser, and ready to conquer his freshman year of Veterinary Medicine. He has a beautiful new condo, a chaotic new best friend named Pai, and a rock-solid resolution: leave the past in the past. But the universe has a very twisted sense of humor. On his very first day of university, Zay finds himself dragged to a campus basketball match. Standing on the court, effortlessly sinking three-pointers and looking impossibly handsome, is the one person Zay was trying to avoid: Kai Alexandre Frasier. Kai was the grumpy, untouchable boy who took Zay’s sunshine for granted. Now, he is the campus heartthrob, and fate seems determined to throw them together. When a scheduling fluke forces the two of them into the same high-stakes Veterinary labs, Zay's carefully built walls begin to crumble. To survive the semester, Zay has to treat Kai like a total stranger. He has to ignore the heavy silences, the lingering stares, and the quiet ways Kai tries to take care of him. Because Zay knows the rules: opening his heart means risking the same one-sided pain all over again. But Kai isn't the same boy he was two years ago. And this time, he isn't going to let Zay slip away without a fight. Can Zay protect his heart from the only boy who ever broke it? Or will Kai finally learn how to say the words that could change everything?

I watched as Dad looked at me with some kind of angered expression, as usual he believes her.  " Fiona, how many times do i have to tell you to have some respect for my wife? Whether you like it or not she's now your mother. Is this a way to treat your mother"?  "She can never be my mother, she doesn't even have the qualities of being a mother. Why do you always side with her? Can't you see the way she's treating me"?  "Enough Fiona"!!! "You promised mom that you'd always love me and take care of me, but I'm a slave in my own father's house"!! "Hey, don't try to manipulate my husband, what you did was wrong and you expect me not to caution you? Go to your room" I just watched as Dad expression fell, she was manipulating him and turning him against his own daughter.  "You heard her Fiona, go to your room".

Suho has always lived between two worlds. One shaped by legacy, pride, and expectations he never chose, and another shaped by a heart that feels too deeply for the life he is meant to lead. He is cold, silent, charming, and smart when it comes to business. But he is gentle by nature, emotionally deep, and quietly devoted when it comes to his love. But love was never allowed to be part of his carefully arranged world. It was always meant to be negotiated, controlled, and contained. At this point in his life, Yerin is his everything. His first love, his only love. He is willing to go to any length to keep her, even when his family repeatedly refuses to accept her. Torn between a heart that refuses to let go and a lineage that demands an heir to carry the Kim legacy, Suho takes a decisive step, trying to hold on to Yerin without disappointing the family that expects obedience and continuity from him. Then Hauen enters his life. Not through affection, but through a contract. Chosen not as a partner, but as a solution, Hauen becomes his wife in a marriage built for convenience. An agreement meant to secure an heir and protect the Kim family’s legacy. In return, Hauen enters this marriage to save her father’s bankrupt business. She is warm and gentle, yet guarded. Strong in quiet ways, carrying her own unspoken burdens. To the world, their marriage looks flawless. Polite smiles, perfect appearances, a union without cracks. To them, it is nothing more than a carefully written business contract, set to end after eighteen months. But life has little patience for plans built without truth. In the midst of calculated decisions and emotional restraint, fate pushes Suho into the lowest point of his life, breaking him in ways he never expected. Stripped of control, certainty, and pride, he is forced to confront the parts of himself he has never imagined. At his most fragile moment, the question is no longer about legacy or contracts. It's about Who will stay when everything collapses? Who will stand beside him when life is hard for him? And when life offers both unbearable loss and unexpected grace, will Suho have the courage to accept them? This is a story of love that begins as an obligation, fractures under destiny's test, and slowly transforms into something honest, real, and beautiful.

Han Soorin thought landing the job of a lifetime—makeup artist for LUMEN, the hottest K-pop boy band in the world—would be her dream come true. Billboards, music shows, sold-out arenas… and her ultimate bias, Jung Haejin, standing just a breath away. But reality? A nightmare wrapped in designer clothes. Haejin, the flawless leader adored by millions, is nothing like the angelic idol Gleams worship. Offstage he’s cold, sharp-tongued, and impossible to please. The first words he throws at Soorin?

When a scandal threatens to destroy them both, Soorin must decide: walk away from the idol she swore to hate, or risk everything to stand by the man she never expected to possibly... love? ✨✨✨✨✨ [Chapter: 5-20 Update Daily] [Update schedule: 10+ comments or 2 reviews=1 Bonus chapter]

“You are the centre of my world.” Miko’s whisper made me tremble. “You have me now, you are not alone anymore. I will protect you unconditionally. Lean on me a little more.” I wanted to, I ached to lose myself in him, but my heart, no, my dream was on the line. Could I survive loving him? I once had a dream- to be a rockstar, an idol. Fame seduced me each night I lay down. When it came, I grabbed its hand and never wanted to let go. What I didn’t expect was who this dream came with. Miko. The love of my life, the person who destroyed me and put me back in place. The person whom I shattered for when he called me beautiful. The person I cannot breathe without. The one person in this world whom I belong to. He saw me, touched me in the deepest parts of me I didn't know existed, and loved all of me. I was too scared to turn towards him; how could it be possible for a person to love someone like this? Enough to risk their deepest desire? All we ever wanted was to love each other. But the world wasn’t ready for us. Or was it me who wasn’t ready for him? *This is a work of fiction BL love story.

╭──────༺♡༻──────╮ “What happened to ‘Yes, Your Highness’?” A cold voice asked. “What happened to your dignity as a prince?” Elias shot back in anger. He knew he was being unreasonable but he had to be. That was too close. The prince’s hand moved faster than sight. He hooked two fingers under Elias’s chin and jerked him forward. Elias felt the heat crawl up his neck. His face went traitorously red. Their breath mingled. Up close, the prince looked like a predator. A pretty handsome one. ╰──────༺♡༻──────╯ In the halls of Ravenholm Academy, status is measured by efficiency, and magic is a tool for the elite. Elias Thornbloom, a second-year student from a fallen noble house, wants none of that status.
