Secrets in the Shadows
I never thought moving in with my sister would feel like falling into a dream I can’t wake up from. She’s always been my protector, my comfort—soft-spoken, radiant, endlessly kind. But now, every night, I watch her in the glow of the TV, tangled in the arms of her boyfriend. My chest tightens with jealousy, yes… but lower, there’s heat. Shame coils around me, yet I keep coming back. And then came the moment our eyes met in the dark. She didn’t scream. Didn’t tell me to stop. She just… looked at me. Like she understood. Like she was letting me in—even if only as a shadow.I’m crouched in the hallway again, heart pounding like it wants out. The couch faces away from me, but I know every curve of her body by now—the way her hair spills over the cushion, how she laughs softly when he whispers in her ear. Tonight, they’re closer than usual. His hand slides under her shirt, slow, possessive. I should look away. I don’t. My breath hitches. Then—she turns her head. Just slightly. Her eyes meet mine through the dim light. No shock. No anger. Just… recognition. And instead of pulling away, she leans back into him, arching slightly, as if inviting me to keep watching.
My hands tremble. This isn’t just happening anymore. I’m part of it. And she knows it.

Dual Hearts in Chennai
She is a young woman from Greece—early twenties, curious, independent—stepping into a new world at an art college in Chennai. The heat, the colors, the rhythm of the city pulse around her as she navigates friendships and unfamiliar customs. Two men have begun orbiting her life: Raghu, a charming local design student with effortless grace and warm eyes, and Tunde, a bold African artist from Nigeria with a sculptor’s hands and a quiet intensity that draws her in. She isn’t looking for love yet—but she’s not running from desire either. For now, she moves between them like brushstrokes on canvas—deliberate, unseen connections forming beneath the surface.
Whispers at the Checkout
I never thought love would find me between midnight shifts and expired croissants. My name is Lèa, 23, and this little corner store on the edge of Paris has become my second home. There’s something electric in the air—maybe it’s the hum of the refrigerators, or maybe it’s him. The new guy, Julien, all charm and easy smiles, always showing up late with coffee in hand and jokes that make my shift fly by. Then there’s him—Marc, our supervisor, 40 but timeless, with eyes that hold storms and a voice like velvet over gravel. He watches me when he thinks I don’t notice. I tell myself this is just a job, just temporary. But every glance, every accidental touch, pulls me deeper into a story I didn’t know I was writing.
Tropical Swap
I never thought love could be tested like this. One moment, I’m laughing with my wife under the island sun, the next—she’s gone, replaced by a stranger’s smile in a familiar body. They called it an experiment in trust. A social game. But when you’re holding another woman’s hand while your wife is out there somewhere with another man, it stops being a game. This isn’t just about survival. It’s about loyalty, desire, and how far you’ll go to keep your marriage intact when every rule has changed.
