Leo Thorne didn’t just fall in love with Maya Vance; he anchored himself to her. And Maya didn’t just love Leo; she found the only shore she ever wanted to crash against. Beginning in the quiet corners of a high school art room, their connection was instant—a slow-burning fuse that spanned fifteen years of longing, leaving, and learning. He was the steady artist, terrified of the tides of change; she was the ambitious musician, desperate to fly but paralyzed by the guilt of leaving him behind. Together, they were perfect. Together, they were a tragedy waiting to happen. The Sound of Breaking Waves is a journey from the innocence of teenage notebooks to the brutal reality of adulthood. It is a story of green flags with jagged edges—two people who are fiercely loyal, yet flawed; kind, yet deeply scarred. Their love is a safe haven filled with laughter, soothing touches, and the kind of friendship that feels like home. But when the pressure builds, their conflicts are rare, explosive hurricanes—moments of loud, chaotic screams that don't wound the skin but shatter the soul, born not from hate, but from the sheer desperation of wanting to be enough. From the heart-stopping awkwardness of first kisses to the hollow ache of separate beds in separate cities, readers will watch Leo and Maya try to navigate a world that seems determined to pull them apart. They will fight. They will break. They will date others. They will scream at the universe. But through the trauma of family loss and the crushing weight of expectations, the invisible string between them never snaps. Tear-jerking yet soothing, devastating yet full of hope, this is a story for anyone who has ever loved someone enough to let them go—and prayed they would come back.

We Are Always Present Within Each Other is a story about a love that begins quietly — from two boarding rooms facing one another. No grand promises. No dramatic confessions. They meet when they are very young. He is reserved, disciplined, and kind. She is innocent, soft-spoken, and slightly lost in a foreign city. Their feelings do not arise from sweeping gestures or cinematic moments. They grow through small things: bringing in laundry before the rain, ordering dinner for two, a first trip to the supermarket, simple conversations in a narrow corridor. When he decides to study abroad to build his future, they make no promises to wait. She stays. Eventually, she marries. Years pass. He returns — not to intrude, not to disrupt her life — but remains quietly present, appearing only when she truly needs him. More than thirteen years go by. He remains the same: calm, steady, loving in the way he always has — without possession, without pressure. She marries. She divorces. She hesitates. And still, he stands in a place that is difficult to define — not quite a lover, not merely a friend, but something deeper. A soulmate without a title. This story does not attempt to prove that a perfect man exists. It simply tells of a man who is kind enough, steadfast enough, and mature enough to love without causing harm. And above all, it is the journey of a woman learning to accept that she deserves love — not because someone is flawless, but because two people understand and respect one another. Because some relationships, no matter how many years pass or how far apart they drift, remain quietly present within each other.

“Is love about who made your heart race… or who knew when to step back so it could keep beating?” Silas loved her in secret, in sacrifice. Caelum loves her in presence, in patience. And she— She stands at the heart of it all, carrying a love shaped by memory and promise, torn between what was, and what dares to be. Not every heart chooses loudly. Some stay. Some let go. But in the end, she must ask not just who loves her— but who walks beside her when the storm comes. As ancient vows awaken and forgotten missions collide, Lhady must confront not only who she loves… but why. Is it the comfort of a future built slowly and safely? Or the echo of a past carved in sacrifice? In the end, Have You Someone to Protect? is not just a question of loyalty—it’s a question of love, identity, and the burdens we carry for those we dare to keep close. And whom does she, in turn, choose to protect?

At Shenghua Academy, the "Seven Stars" were legends. They were the elite 90% club—a mischievous squad of toppers who ruled the classrooms and the sports fields. At the center of this constellation were two rivals: Xiao Xing, the fierce "Karate Princess" and coding prodigy, and Li Yan, the cold, analytical "Chess Prince" who viewed the world in binary. For six years, Xiao Xing hid a variable in her heart that no logic could solve: a deep, unrequited crush on the boy who fought her for every Class President seat. On the night of their graduation—after tying for the top rank with a staggering 98.2%—Xiao Xing finally made her move. The result? A brutal system crash. Li Yan rejected her with cold, clinical precision, calling her feelings "desperate" and "illogical." The Seven Stars scattered across the country, the group chat went silent, and the "98.2% Equation" was left unsolved. Six Years Later. Xiao Xing is now a high-stakes Security Architect, and Li Yan is the genius CEO of her biggest corporate rival. When a massive digital conspiracy threatens to delete their shared history and target their families, the "Seven Stars" must reunite for their most dangerous mission yet. Between secret GitHub comments, high-speed chases, and "Love Contracts" hidden in metadata, Li Yan is no longer running from the truth. But as a new rival, the warm and charming Hao Ran, enters the frame, the Chess Prince realizes that winning Xiao Xing back won't be as easy as a 90% logic gate. In a world of corporate sabotage and "Zero-Day" heartbreaks, can two rivals finally bridge the distance between their seats in the library? Or was their 98.2% tie the closest they were ever meant to be?

After years, he finally got his life together despite having a child out of a random and whimsical one-night stand with a stranger and raising his daughter as a single parent.

Eight years ago, Liam Alcaraz walked out of Mia Villaruiz's life without a backward glance-leaving her with nothing but a shattered heart, unanswered questions, and the memory of the boy who once made her believe in forever. Now, Liam is one of the youngest, most powerful, and most desired CEOs in the country. And Mia? She's no longer the quiet, outcast girl he once dismissed.

Vale, the firm's legendary senior partner, makes it clear: if Mia can bend the unbreakable Liam Alcaraz, she'll earn her place as their youngest partner.

After a simple extraction mission, Kenneth makes a dire mistake that wipes out his entire team. Left alone and bleeding out, Kenneth has no choice but to pray to a higher being in hopes of getting a second chance at life. Luckily for him, his prayers are answered as he finds himself in the body of a man who has the same name as him! Now, faced with a strange world he is unfamiliar with, all he can do is follow the previous owners' wishes to enter the infamous military academy Toleran and become a renowned Anchor. The problem is finding a Striker to pair with. In comes Lucien Saint-James, the captain of the third division and a high-class Striker with whom he has the highest compatibility. The problem is, whenever Lucien is around, he gets this uncontrollable urge to bring him to his knees, not to mention that he doesn’t care for his arrogant attitude either. Now, Kenneth faces a dilemma. If he ever hopes to make it out of this academy alive and realize the dreams of the original Kenneth, he will have to suck up his pride and learn to hide his urges if he wants to make it out in one piece. Oh, and did he mention he had to deal with monsters and mystical beasts too?! ****************************************** Excerpt: “Kiss me.” Kenneth blinked. “What—“ “You heard me. Do it. Now.” Anger flashed in his eyes yet his body moved before his brain could tell him to stop. He reached for the Striker and their lips met. Kenneth poured his energy into Lucien, filling the barren pit inside his mind, giving him enough juice to keep going. The two pulled away, and Lucien’s steely eyes met his, holding him in place. “You always look like you hate anchoring me, but then you get that blissful look on your face that screams ‘I want more’. It’s cute.” Kenneth felt an unbearable urge to slap the smug smile off his face. But since now wasn’t the time to commit acts of violence against his pair. He held himself back. He would deal with him properly later. “Eat shit, captain.” Was all he said before sending him off. ****** A guideverse story with a little twist, hot and cold romance with a whole lot of slow burn (emphasis on burn because the MC refuses to admit his feelings, the stubborn fool).

Idalia Miller is a student who has a great talent and passion for music. The school is given an opportunity to play for a musical event where many professsionals and famous musicians will be arriving, however, a few weeks before the date, their invitation to play is canceled. Returning home upset with her heart heavy, Idalia falls into a deep sleep. In her dream, she wakes up to find herself in a kingdom resembling an ancient civilization and during her time there, she falls in love with Prince Cyrus. Exploring a new world, falling in love, and fighting fate, follow Idalia as she dreams. Prince Cyrus of Milikree is the only son of King Andreios and Queen Minerva. Growing up, he witnessed and experienced the dark side of love that his parents showed and came to a decision that he was not willing to fall in love. Although next in line to the thrown, he doesn’t want to become king and would rather his older brother be crowned. When he leaves to follow a clue that hints to danger befalling on his kingdom, he didn’t expect to unravel secrets interlinked to the past or future. Least of all, he didn’t expect to fall in love with Idalia. ——— Pulling away from his embrace, Idalia ran across the fields of dandelions, laughter escaping her lips. Butterflies flew away from the disturbance yet they all added more beauty and color to the scene in front of Cyrus. The sky was blue and violet and the sun was settling behind the far away mountains. But to Cyrus, the nature wasn't as beautiful as the girl that was joyfully running across the fields. "Cyrus!" Idalia had stopped running to face her prince, "Come here! I found something!" With a huge smile, Cyrus ran to where Idalia was. "What did you fin-" He hadn't finished asking when he felt himself being pushed down to the ground. With a thud, both he and Idalia had fallen and were laying down. After recovering from the fall, he looked directly into the girl's eyes which were filled with love and tenderness. Waiting for her to speak, he heard her softly say, "I found you." The youngsters laying down on the dandelion field felt as if the world had slowed. After what felt like forever, Cyrus felt his eyes water and he whispered, "I'm glad you did." They were smiling and reached out to embrace each other. Planting a kiss on her forehead, Cyrus continued, "Thank you for having arrived at the palace. Thank you for changing me into a better man. Thank you for giving me a chance at loving you. But most importantly, thank you for arriving here, in my world." Idalia moved her head to face him and gravely asked, "What if this is all a dream? What if I leave unknowingly? What if something happens to you? Cyrus, I don't want something bad to happen to us." Tears were rolling down her cheeks at this point and her voice had cracked towards the end. Cyrus tenderly held her face and wiped her cheeks before lovingly responding, "You first came to me so if something were to happen, it would be my turn to come to you." ——— Hello, this is my first story and I hope that you can give it a try once I start uploading.

“No… do you really know that music can express what words cannot? That behind every note, every chord, every silence, there are emotions even the most honest conversations cannot reach? My name is Lucy. I am a guitarist and singer, and music is my truest language. With Mathieu and Lisa, my best friend and former companion, we form a trio capable of everything: from electric rock to pop rhythms, from acoustic ballads to afro-electro sounds. Every piece we play reflects our joys, our sorrows, our secrets, and our dreams. But music doesn’t just reveal our emotions: it also uncovers what we fear to say aloud. Between laughter and tears, between awkwardness and complicity, every rehearsal, every concert, and every contest becomes a confession, a challenge, and a moment of truth. Throughout our journey, you will discover our wounds, our friendships, our fragile dreams, and our secret loves. You will hear what we never dared to speak, but what we sing through every chord, every note, every lyric.

Mahira is a breathtakingly beautiful, wise, and deeply emotional young woman whose life has always revolved around protecting the people she loves. Above all, she has fought tirelessly to shield her beloved brother, Ayaan, from a pain he never deserved. But destiny had already written suffering into their lives. When fate takes a cruel turn, Mahira finds herself absorbing the very pain she tried to protect her brother from—the agony of losing loved ones who chose to walk away from them. She silently carries the burden of shattered relationships, broken trust, and the weight of sacrifices made in the name of family. Ayaan, Mahira’s younger brother, is a true gentleman—handsome, intelligent,genius and quietly strong. Among all the characters, he endures the deepest wounds. His world collapses when he is diagnosed with a devastating illness that slowly steals his most precious memories. The very moments that define his existence begin to fade away. As if this tragedy were not enough, Ayaan discovers an even darker truth: even before his birth, his parents had made a life-altering decision about his future, trading away his destiny without his knowledge. The realization that he may never truly belong to the family he calls his own shatters him completely. In a twist of fate, Aarshi (also known as Aayesha)—Ayaan’s girlfriend—is the sister of Mahira’s husband, Jihan. Aarshi is sweet, sensitive, and emotionally fragile, yet she carries a childlike innocence. The pain Ayaan suffers becomes her pain too. She silently punishes herself, struggling between love, loyalty, and helplessness as she watches the man she loves slip away from his own memories. Surrounded by family and friends—Jihan, Aman, Tanya, and Ayaan’s close companions Karan, Zain, Mishtha, and Natasha—the story unfolds in a web of love, betrayal, sacrifice, and destiny. Will Mahira’s strength be enough to heal what fate has broken? Will Ayaan find his identity before losing himself completely? And in a world where love is tested by secrets and suffering, can anyone truly find happiness? This is a story of love that fights against destiny, of siblings bound by unbreakable devotion, and of hearts that continue to hope—even when everything seems lost.
