Duet Me Not

Who's to say that their arranged marriage won't also be a disaster? Isn't love underrated? Love's never enough in a marriage, so why bother with it in the first place? Is it to prove to everybody else that they're different and won't hurt each other?

What happens when a bond forged by destiny turns into a battle of wills? Can love survive betrayal, pride, and years of unresolved pain? Richard and Maya were born into lives of privilege, their families entwined by generations of friendship and loyalty. Was their connection a blessing or a chain holding them captive? Richard, the arrogant heir to an empire, had everything handed to him—except the wisdom to cherish what truly mattered. Maya, raised with discipline and grace, was the one person who always stood by him. But how long can love endure when respect is absent? When Richard’s reckless actions humiliate Maya in front of the world, she walks away from everything they’ve built. Was leaving the only way she could reclaim her identity? Could distance heal the wounds he inflicted, or would the scars remain forever? Stripped of his wealth and status, Richard is forced to face his demons. Can a man raised in entitlement truly change? Will he ever earn the forgiveness of the woman he once took for granted? Years later, fate forces them together in an arranged marriage. Can two hearts broken by each other learn to beat as one again? Manny swears she’ll never forgive him, but can her resolve withstand Richard’s newfound devotion? Is his transformation real, or just another mask? What happens when hate begins to blur into love? Will Manny let her walls down, or will the past always stand between them? With every twist and turn, "Am Not Yours" asks: Can a love born in pain and betrayal ever become something pure? Or is letting go the only way to truly be free?

It is I—Henry Novar—the one and only, master of terrible luck and even worse decisions. My life ,so is my body, was a beautiful disaster, but it truly hit rock bottom when I got caught in Dahlia Vayne's web of lies and manipulation. She was poison in human form, turning my world upside down with a curse that robbed me of my free will and made me betray the only person I ever loved—Nyssa Albright. If Nyssa was a beam of sunlight, Dahlia was the storm. She waltzed into my life wearing my family heirloom, claiming she was my long-lost childhood sweetheart. Spoiler alert: she wasn’t. But I try explaining that to my parents, who decided that my seven-year-old self’s decisions were ironclad. Nyssa was my light, my anchor in the storm, but I pushed her away, broke her heart, and watched as Dahlia's schemes tore her apart. When Nyssa was killed, the curse lifted, leaving me free but empty, haunted by regret. And just when I thought the pain would kill me, I woke up—18 years old again, back before it all went wrong. Now I’ve got a second chance, and I’m not going to waste it. Dahlia thinks she’s got me figured out, but this time? The game is mine to win. Nyssa deserves better. And for once, I’m going to make sure she gets it. Even if it kills me... again. (Temporary cover cause the original one I made is too inappropriate lmao)

But there is a problem, Ginny is aromantic and doesn't want to be in a relationship with anyone. Now, Persephone is on a mission to make the aromantic nerd fall in love with her. ** "You're not going to run away and walk out of this room and pretend that this didn't happen, are you?"

Ginny can't seem to utter a single word. Seeing a naked Persephone in front of her was... was... was - she doesn't even have any words to describe it. ** OTHER STORIES: Too Gay for You: You Give me Heart Eyes (GL)

She quickly shot up to see a few men approaching her calling out to her. She swiftly got up and paced away from them whlie turning around to check if they were catching up.
