Short Story. No unnecessary characters. Very rare plot. --- In the glass-and-steel heart of the city, one woman’s word is absolute. In the silent sanctuary of the soul, one man’s devotion is unbreakable. Smriti is the architect of a global empire, a CEO whose beauty is as legendary as her cold, calculating ruthlessness. She has spent her life acquiring everything she ever desired, convinced that power is the only truth and wealth is the only safety. But when she encounters Manu, an unremarkable employee with an extraordinary sense of peace, the foundation of her world begins to crack. Manu wants nothing that Smriti can offer. He lives a life of profound surrender, a "divine play" where he is merely an actor performing for a higher source. To a woman used to owning souls, Manu’s non-attachment is the ultimate provocation. Driven by a hunger she cannot name, Smriti descends into a dark, obsessive quest to possess the one man who is truly free. As she attempts to pull him into her gilded cage, she finds herself drawn instead into his world of silence and chanting. To have him, she must face the one thing she fears most: the annihilation of her own ego. How do you capture a heart that has already let go of the world? Divine Love is an exploration of the thin line between obsession and devotion. It is a story of power meeting peace, where a "Goddess of Commerce" must decide if she is willing to lose everything including herself to become a part of a script she didn't write.

Title: The Space Where We Undressed Our Hearts Althea Marie Navarro arrives at San Isidro University carrying more than notebooks and borrowed courage. She carries the quiet weight of a poor girl’s dreams—scholarship papers folded in her bag, hunger she pretends not to feel, and a future she cannot afford to lose. Love was never part of her plan. Survival was. Chen Liwei was raised to inherit an empire, not to want. Known on campus as Lucas Chen, he moves through university halls with discipline in his steps and silence in his eyes. His life is mapped out by family expectations, business dinners, and a future he did not choose. Emotions are weaknesses. Desire is distraction. Until he collides with a girl who smells like rain and library books. What begins as accidental meetings and late-night study sessions slowly turns into something dangerous—glances held too long, hands brushing in quiet places, conversations that slip into confessions. Althea shows Liwei a world without chauffeurs and glass walls. Liwei introduces Althea to a world she was never meant to enter. Between borrowed time and hidden spaces on campus, they begin to undress not only their bodies, but the fears, insecurities, and loneliness they have kept buried. Their love is tender. Their want for each other is not.

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.

Strong in quiet ways, carrying her own unspoken burdens. To the world, their marriage looks flawless. Polite smiles, perfect appearances, a union without cracks.

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.

Eilika Wolanski is the eldest daughter of one of Varos’ most respected merchants, but respect has never brought her kindness. A childhood accident left a scar across her cheek, and with it, a cruel label she can never escape. The “Unwanted Woman” of Varos. Mocked in public, pitied in private, and treated like a blemish to be hidden, Eilika grows up learning one painful truth, beauty matters more than character in high society. So when an unexpected marriage proposal arrives from the powerful House of Kingsley, no one believes it is real. The groom is Damian Van Kingsley, the widowed duke of Varos, feared for his cold temperament and admired for his unmatched looks and wealth. Rumors follow him like shadows. He has a secret mistress, a broken heart drowned in alcohol, and worst of all… A son he barely acknowledges. For Eilika, marrying Damian isn’t a dream. It’s the only option left for survival. Damian, once the kingdom’s most desirable nobleman, has been nothing but a hollow man since the death of his first wife. He has abandoned his responsibilities, pushed away his child, and lived with one vow burning in his chest. He will never replace his first wife. To force him back into duty, his mother arranges a second marriage, one he never asked for, and one he refuses to accept. Damian swears he will never touch her , will never look at her and will never treat her as his wife. But Eilika isn’t the greedy noblewoman he expected. She doesn’t ask for his affection. She doesn’t crave his title. She doesn’t even want his love. What Eilika wants… is something far more dangerous. A family. And perhaps that is the very thing Damian has been starving for all along. ~~~~ “This bed will remain cold until your last breath.” Damian’s voice boomed through the dark chamber. Eilika didn’t flinch at his words. Instead she replied gracefully, “I don’t seek love, Duke. You can visit your secret mistress every night… Just don’t come near me.” This marriage was never meant to become real, until the Duke's heart begins to betray its own rules.

I was nothing special. A shut-in. A chubby, ordinary girl who blended into the background like a shadow. Easy to ignore. Easier to mock. The world never ran out of ways to remind me I didn’t belong. Cruel jokes in hallways. Laughter that followed me home. Words sharper than blades, carving deeper than bruises ever could. Bit by bit, I shrank into myself until there was nothing left but silence and the weight of my own loneliness. That night, I decided I’d had enough. The chair creaked under me. The rope swayed above. My room was still, suffocating, as if the world didn’t care whether I breathed or not. And maybe it didn’t. Then—music. It came from the neighbor’s stereo, muffled through the thin walls. A single voice cutting into the darkness. A voice that shouldn’t have reached me, but did. Strong. Raw. Alive. It wrapped around me like a hand pulling me back from the edge. The lyrics told me not to hide my light. That even if it flickered, it still burned. I gasped, stumbling from the chair, clutching my chest as though those words had physically struck me. Tears blurred my vision, but for the first time in forever, they weren’t from pain—they were from something I thought I’d lost. Hope. That voice saved me. His voice. Eric. The lead singer of AUREA—the boyband that would one day become gods in the music world. To me, he wasn’t just an idol. He was my lifeline. And then . . . years later, when he died, the world mourned. I mourned. The one who saved me, the reason of my life, was gone, ripped from life far too soon. I thought it was over. But fate had other plans. One desperate wish, one shattered night, and when I opened my eyes—I was ten years in the past. Before the world knew AUREA. Before Eric was swallowed by fame. Before his voice was silenced forever. I’m just Emy—ordinary, clumsy, and invisible to most. But this time . . . it’s my turn. Eric saved me once. Now, I’ll save him. No matter what it takes.
