Some loves are meant to stay. Some are meant to return. Celine Gonzales thought Nathan Angeles was the kind of love she would never have to forget. Until he cheated on her. After their relationship ended in high school, she spent years learning how to live without Nathan. Celine closed her heart, stayed away from relationships, and convinced herself that maybe love simply wasn't meant for her. Until Ace Villareal came along. Someone who was patient enough to wait for her. Someone who made Celine believe in love again. Ace didn't just promise forever-he gave her a ring and asked her to spend the rest of her life with him. For the first time in years, Celine finally allowed herself to be happy. But happiness didn't last. An unexpected accident took Ace away before they could reach the future they had planned together. Now, Celine is left with a broken heart, an engagement ring she can no longer wear, and memories of the man she thought would be her forever. She thought losing Ace was the cruelest thing life could ever do to her. Until years later, Nathan-the person who broke her heart-is suddenly standing in front of her again. Older. Different. And somehow, impossible to forget. Celine knows she should walk away. After all, some wounds never truly heal. But why does being near Nathan feel strangely familiar? And why does her heart keep telling her that maybe their story was never really over? Sometimes, love doesn't come back the way you expect. Sometimes, it returns carrying a secret neither of them is ready to face.

𝐌𝐘 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝓐𝓷 𝓔𝓷𝓰𝓵𝓲𝓼𝓱 𝓡𝓸𝓶𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓮 𝓢𝓽𝓸𝓻𝔂❤️ ᴍᴄ ~ ᴏʟɪᴠɪᴀ ᴍᴀʏ A chance meeting at a quiet shop changes Olivia's ordinary day when she meets Noah Blake, a kind but overlooked stranger with a messy appearance and a gentle heart. As rain falls and conversations grow, an unexpected connection begins to form between two very different people. It all begins when Noah approaches her softly and asks, "Can I help you?" His voice is calm, almost uncertain, as if he is not used to being noticed. Olivia looks at him for a moment, slightly doubtful, before nodding and replying, "Yes, if you can help me find the item I'm looking for, I will be grateful." From that simple exchange, something changes. As they search together through the quiet aisles, small conversations begin to build a fragile bridge between them.Careful, awkward at first, but slowly becoming warmer. But while Olivia returns to her warm family home, Noah faces a harsher reality,one filled with judgment, loneliness, and quiet struggles. Despite it all, both of them can't stop thinking about each other. What starts as a simple act of kindness slowly turns into something deeper. Olivia finds herself remembering Noah's calm voice and warm smile more often, while Noah begins to look forward to the thought of seeing her again, even if just by chance. Little by little, feelings grow quietly in their hearts. A heartfelt story about kindness, first impressions, and how a simple act of help can slowly grow into love that neither of them saw coming. ~Continued~

'Dancing is a beautiful way to tell your truth, it's also a devastating way to get lost in the expression.' Ariana Noor Van Doren. A prodigy in ballet at just nineteen, said to be a star. Yet one thing about stars is that they always burn out. A ragdoll for her father to throw around and abuse, a target of her mother's insults, commonly about her weight, and victim to a family friend who thinks of her body as something he owns. The one solace in her life currently is her older brother, who, despite caring for and protecting her, assumes that he's lived a harder life than her and dismisses all her problems as whining. Alies Nicholas Van Doren, a menace in the ring and a well-known boxer at only twenty-four, is not unaware of his father's temper, and worries for his sister as he is going out of town for a while for an once in a lifetime oppourtunity to fight someone he's looked up to for years. Because of this, he forces Ariana to learn how to fight from his best friend. Rowan Lance Harlan, a twenty-two-year-old champion in the ring, said to hold no remorse, whether it's for men or women, young or old. People fear him because he wants them to, so imagine his surprise when a long-time boxing partner of his, Alies, asks him to train his younger sister. When the two meet theres an instant click. It unsettles them both. Because Rowan doesn't date, and Ariana doesn't trust. So when the stars align and destiny pushes them together, they're quick to ignore it. But destiny doesn't like being told no. And the two lovers are going to be dragged together, even if it means boundaries are crossed, and secrets are spilled.
