In a haze of despair, 22-year-old Zoe is on the edge, contemplating an escape from her pain. Everything changes when she meets Asher , the charming yet reckless boy she can't stand. He seems to embody everything she loathes, the popular boy who has eveything ; friends, family, happiness and messes his life up without a care in the world but fate seems to have other plans for both of them.

As their lives collide in unexpected ways, Zoe discovers that beneath Asher's cool facade lies a depth of struggles that resonates with her own. Their connection ignites something within her-a flicker of hope that challenges her darkest thoughts and makes her question if life really is that fragile and sad to be ended that fast.

Can this unlikely bond pull her back from the brink, or will it lead them both into deeper shadows?

After leaving her small hometown for a fresh start, she's finally finding her footing... alone in a new city, chasing a new career, and enrolled in a graduate program that promises to keep her too busy to look back. But on the first day of class, the past walks in wearing a blazer and heels. Dr. Sienna Ward. Her high school teacher. Her secret first love. And now-her professor. Years have passed, but the connection between them is impossible to ignore. What begins as cautious small talk becomes something deeper, something dangerous. As old feelings resurface and new boundaries blur, Rowan and Sienna are pulled into a slow-burn, high-stakes romance that neither of them can afford... and neither of them wants to let go. Some flames never go out. Some lines were meant to be crossed.

Beneath His Silence by goodlittlenai

Alia never dreamed of marrying a man like Ares V. Asher cold, powerful, and terrifyingly untouchable. But when her father's debt became a noose tightening around her family's neck, she was sold into a gilded cage masked as marriage. Now, bound by vows she never wanted, Alia is forced to navigate the chilling dominance of a man who doesn't believe in love, only control. Ares Kael doesn't need affection. He needs obedience, appearances, and a wife who knows her place. But what he didn't expect... was Alia's quiet defiance wrapped in submission, her fire buried beneath silk and silence. And maybe, just maybe, he's not as immune to her as he thought. A brutal beginning. A dangerous man. A forbidden heat that simmers beneath every look, every touch, every unspoken word. **** This is my first story. I hope whoever reading this story can feel the vibe that put into this story.
