gettingbacktogether

Sydney and Katie were inseparable. Best friends, partners in crime, always together-until love entered the picture. When Sydney starts dating Kyrie, small cracks begin to form in their friendship. What starts as teasing and jealousy slowly turns into rivalry, manipulation, and explosive fights that shake their entire school. The closer Sydney grows to Kyrie, the further Katie drifts-and the more dangerous their friendship becomes. As emotions spiral, Sydney must face impossible choices: protect the love she's building, or the friendship she's losing.

Set in a chaotic high-school world where emotions change in seconds and conflicts explode without warning, We're Enemies When It Comes To Love is a dramatic, anime-styled story about jealousy, loyalty, and the painful truth that sometimes the people closest to you can hurt you the most. Because when love is involved... friendship is no longer safe.

"I love you, okay?" ... her voice broke as she stared up at Nur's face. His eyes widened, chest tightening as he stared back at her, at the magnitude of her words. Tears clung to Ayse's lashes, his wife who he supposedly contract married. From the very first day they locked eyes, he loved her but not even for a second, he would have thought she would fall for him. This was Deniz Nur Hakan--The sole heir to the multibillion-dollar company, he who built empires with his bare hands. He had ice in his veins and ruled with an iron fist. Men trembled under his gaze; women drove to him.  A man whose ears were deaf to the pleadings of many. Some called him a bastard, and for some he was just their "son"  His father, Emre Yousef Hakan--A tyrant man. He handed Nur the keys to the Hakan's estate. Well pleased and trusted that his son will continue his tyrannical reign. After the funeral ceremony, his mother had come to him.  Conversing to him on estate matters and the "future" "How his job wasn't only proceeding his father's company but to also produce an heir" Nur stared at his mother's unreadable face; he shook his head and sternly rejected even a thought on such matters.  Though months passed. One faithful night, he received the news.  "Mr. Hakan, your mother has passed away" Nur was left heartbroken; he fled from U.K and quickly arrived at Istanbul via his private jet.  The car clicked opened as he made his way in the magnificent "Hakan estate" Where he would find his "relatives" people who they had lost connection to the very day his parents married. They weren't well off back then yet lived happily.  He paid them no mind and walked towards the center where his mom's coffin was.  Clutching around the fine wood, tears sprung out. His mother, the only one who he could rest his head on the shoulders, lazily talk about his day. She had left him. The funeral has ended. Meanwhile Nur sat at his study, blue eyes flickering under the warm glow. Just then--the door clicked, there entered, Ali Demir, his father's advisor, now his. The silver-haired man walked to him, hands clutching at piles of documents. He then conversed to him on the future and that to attain his will, he must marry. Nur's face turned pale, marriage--A chapter that he had closed long ago. After his previous marriage in Ankara to his childhood sweetheart--Eylul Aydin. He remembered her end--how his father mercilessly unlived her and their unborn child. Nur had also rejected this idea prior to his mother's death. Yet--Ali continued, "the bride had also been selected" His jaw flexed as he raked his eyes at him, "Did you...? Ali shook his head, "I wouldn't dare... if it wasn't the very own wish of Mrs. Hakan" Nur sighed, a part of him was uninterested and the other part? --merely curious to who it was. Ali continued, the bride is from one of the Kaplan family branches. "Who...is it? Nur's voice came out, flustered. Ali's mouth parted, "Ayse Azra Yildiz" His eyes widened, his chest tightened.

They met in a place where children weren’t taught how to dream— only how to endure. Ira and Alexander were never meant to matter to each other. What formed between them wasn’t romance, but recognition: two quiet survivors learning how to stay human in a system designed to erase them. Then they were separated. No explanations. No closure. Just absence. Years later, they grow into the world that once failed them—wealthy, controlled, and deeply fractured. Ira learns how power disguises itself as care, how women are shaped by obligation and quiet coercion. Alexander builds a self-made empire while remaining trapped under the shadow of a ruthless political father who values image over humanity. When they meet again as adults, they recognize each other instantly. They pretend they don’t.

This is a story about childhood bonds that don’t fade, the dark side of privilege, and love that begins with understanding—long before desire ever does.

You were never meant to choose him,” Ethan said quietly, his voice controlled, steady, as his hand closed around Clara’s wrist—firm enough to stop her, gentle enough to make her listen. Clara’s breath hitched. Not from fear. But from the shock of hearing Ethan finally claim something after years of silence. She had chosen Ryan. The boy she loved openly. The one everyone approved of. The one who stood beside her without hesitation. Ethan stayed in the background. He watched Clara fall in love with another man. Watched her give her smiles, her trust, her future to someone else.

This is not a story about stolen love. It is a story about patience, restraint, and the devastating cost of choosing the right man over the one who waited.
