healing

Some stories don’t end with love. Some hearts never heal. And some people love so deeply, it becomes fatal. Ayla Wilson loved Silas Williams for twelve years. For twelve years, he never looked back. She never asked to be chosen, only to stay close. Her love was quiet, invisible, and consuming. She learned how to exist in his shadow without touching his life, how to survive on distance without hope. Until the night she ran. A wedding gown soaked in rain. A locked door. A father who sold her future without remorse. With nowhere left to go, Ayla chose the one place she never should have, Silas. But the man she returned to was no longer a distant memory. He was controlled, restrained, devastatingly silent. He let her stay. He protected her. He never promised love. A marriage formed without desire. A home built on unspoken care. A devotion that grew deeper in silence, until one loss shattered everything. And Ayla learned that "loving someone who cannot say it back can destroy you just as completely as being abandoned." Silas Williams was never cruel. That was his greatest mistake. He didn’t raise his voice. He didn’t abandon her. He didn’t betray her love. He simply believed that staying was enough. Silas protected Ayla in the only ways he knew quietly, responsibly, without asking for anything in return. He gave her shelter, stability, and a place beside him. He believed love was something proven through actions, not words. He never realized that silence can wound deeper than rejection. He never understood that for someone like Ayla, love needed to be seen, spoken, and held before it was too late. And when everything finally broke, Silas learned the cruelest truth of all: "You can do nothing wrong and still lose everything." Redemption did not come with grand gestures. It came with regret. With absence. With learning how to love someone who no longer belonged to him. Cause some realizations arrive only after love is gone. And some men spend the rest of their lives chasing the damage they never meant to cause.

ADRIAN HAYES (our ML, 18) unpacking in his dorm room at Greystone University, mentally preparing his "Year of Winning" manifesto. Flashbacks pepper the scene—stolen crayons at age 5, losing races at age 10, the basketball championship defeat three months ago where DANTE ALARIC scored the winning point. Each memory is a paper cut, death by a thousand second places. Adrian's internal monologue establishes him as witty but deeply insecure, someone who's built his entire identity around being "the guy who almost wins." He's likeable, self-deprecating, but clearly using humor as armor.

An intelligent antagonistic lady boss, Chen Xiaoqian was reborn. In her current life, she made lots of money, made lots of real estate investments, and tortured bastards when she had the time.

This was the motto of a man of an antagonistic lady boss. In your previous life, you slept with the person and left. Shouldn’t you be responsible in the current life?

One morning, Gu Tiantian wakes up to find her innocence gone—and her temper flaring. Every time she glares at him, cheeks flushed with outrage, Bai Chenyao cocks an eyebrow. “You don’t want this?” he asks, voice cool. “I never did!” she snaps. His only rule: her consent is optional; his desire is not. Cue Gu Tiantian’s inner scream: Then why even ask, you iceberg?! PS: A genius CEO with zero EQ VS. a lovable, scatter-brained clerk. He thinks courtship is a hostile takeover; she thinks love shouldn’t come with fine print. Sparks fly, clothes vanish, and the “free pie” she never ordered keeps biting back—hilariously, endlessly, deliciously.

Born and raised in Guyana, where ice rinks don’t exist and dreams like hers are treated as impractical fantasies, she learns to skate in her head instead. Every glide, every jump, every victory is imagined with brutal precision. It is the only place where she feels free. The only place where the noise inside her quiets. At eighteen , carrying years of unspoken trauma, depression, and a body already familiar with survival, Nyah makes the impossible choice to leave home in pursuit of a dream that has no guarantees. In a foreign country and an unforgiving sport, talent alone isn’t enough. The ice demands more than skill , it demands endurance, restraint, and a willingness to be seen without armor.
