A Woman Without a Mask

At 28, Clara Hayes has mastered the art of wearing masks. To her colleagues, she’s the perpetually cheerful graphic designer who never misses a deadline. To her overbearing mother, she’s the dutiful daughter hiding her anxiety behind polished smiles. To the world, she’s a woman who “has it all together”—except she’s crumbling inside. Clara’s life unravels during a corporate presentation where a panic attack strips her façade raw. Humiliated and exhausted, she flees to a quiet coastal town, renting a cottage owned by an eccentric, free-spirited potter named Marisol. There, Clara stumbles upon a dusty journal in the attic, its pages filled with haunting sketches and anonymous confessions from a woman who once lived there decades earlier. The entries mirror Clara’s own suffocating duality: “I paint myself in colors the world approves of, but my soul is a grayscale.” As Clara tentatively befriends Marisol and a reclusive widower, Eli, who runs the town’s crumbling bookstore, she begins confronting the lies she’s told herself for years. Through their unconventional guidance—and the journal’s cryptic wisdom—she starts shedding her masks one by one. But vulnerability comes at a cost: her corporate career teeters, her mother’s disapproval intensifies, and a buried trauma from her teenage years resurfaces, threatening to drown her newfound courage. When Clara’s raw, unfiltered artwork—created in secret—goes viral, she faces a choice: return to the safety of her old illusions or step into the terrifying freedom of living unapologetically. But the journal hides a final secret, linking Clara’s journey to the cottage’s mysterious past, forcing her to question whether true authenticity is a rebellion… or a homecoming.

Through the Storms

At the tender age of five, Kingsley Alexander's life was irrevocably changed when she lost her parents in a tragic accident. Left in the care of her mother’s elder sister, Mrs. Carley, Kingsley and her younger brother were thrust into a world of uncertainty. Despite the emotional scars of her loss, Kingsley found solace in the unwavering love and support of her aunt, who worked tirelessly to provide a stable and nurturing environment for the siblings. Though they were far from wealthy, Mrs. Carley ensured that Kingsley and her brother never felt the sting of deprivation, instilling in them values of resilience and determination. For ten years, Kingsley lived a relatively peaceful life, shielded from the harsher realities of the world. But everything changed when she earned a scholarship to Greenmock Academy, an elite private high school known for its opulence and exclusivity. Greenmock was a world apart from anything Kingsley had ever known—a school where billionaire heirs and heiresses roamed the halls, their wealth and influence dictating the social hierarchy. Teachers bowed to their demands, and the rules seemed to bend for those with the deepest pockets. As a middle-class girl with no connections, Kingsley quickly found herself an outsider in this glittering yet cutthroat environment. Her scholarship, secured through the generosity of her boss—a renowned and influential woman who believed in Kingsley’s potential—was both a blessing and a curse. While it opened doors to unparalleled opportunities, it also made her a target for envy and ridicule. The students at Greenmock were ruthless, and Kingsley’s humble background made her an easy mark for their cruelty. Yet, amidst the challenges, she found an unexpected ally—and perhaps something more—in Raymond Wayne, the enigmatic and charismatic son of one of the school’s most powerful families. Raymond was unlike the others. He saw beyond Kingsley’s modest upbringing and recognized her strength, intelligence, and unwavering spirit. Their connection was immediate, a spark that neither could ignore. But their budding relationship was far from simple. Raymond’s world was one of privilege and expectation, and the pressures of his family’s legacy loomed large over their bond. As Kingsley navigated the treacherous waters of Greenmock, she was forced to confront not only the external challenges of fitting in but also the internal struggle of trusting someone who seemed so different from her. Now, as Kingsley stands at the crossroads of her journey, the question remains: Can she overcome the obstacles before her alone, or will Raymond prove to be more than just a fleeting presence in her life? Will their love withstand the weight of their differences, or will the pressures of their worlds tear them apart? And in the face of adversity, will Kingsley find the strength to rise above it all, or will she need Raymond by her side to survive the storm? Dive into Kingsley’s world of trials, triumphs, and heartache as she fights to carve out her place in a society that seems determined to keep her down. Will love be her salvation, or will she discover that her greatest strength lies within herself? ---

This Story might cause a lot of heartache, but the ending will be Happy! 3. Yes, this is mature and smutish story which contains sexual abuse or such so extreme caution is needed!

Love Me! (Like You) Hate Me!

[SLOW BURN/SLICE OF LIFE!] --- Lily Aikawa never planned on standing out. Transferring to Shinsei High was supposed to be a fresh start, but with her foreign looks and inability to keep her mouth shut, she sticks out like a sore thumb. Between nosy classmates, unfair rumors, and a school hierarchy that doesn’t take kindly to outsiders, it doesn’t take long before she finds herself caught in the crossfire of people she’d rather avoid. Like Hayato Mori—Shinsei’s golden boy with an ego bigger than the city of Seon. A pest. An arrogant, smirking nuisance determined to get under her skin just because she refuses to acknowledge him. And Arata Takashiro—the school’s biggest enigma. A boy wrapped in sharp edges, too quiet, too distant, with a gaze that lingers when no one else is looking. But Lily isn’t the only one struggling to find her place. Arata has bigger problems than school. Between keeping his family afloat and balancing more jobs than any teenager should, he doesn’t have time for high school drama. The last thing he needs is some foreign girl drawing attention to herself—and by extension, to him. Except, somehow, their paths keep crossing. Whether it’s through shared secrets, cruel misunderstandings, or the unexpected guidance of Kenjiro Aikawa—the eccentric photographer who sees through them both—Lily and Arata find themselves tangled in a world that neither of them are quite ready for. But friendships aren’t easy when survival comes first. And at Shinsei High, it only takes one mistake to become a target.
