Capt. Viau Dustin Mercedez is a successful pilot and a photographer behind the pseudonym 'VDM'. He is known for his beautiful and intimate portraits of couples in love. But in reality, he has a reputation for being a playboy and is always on the hunt for his next conquest. One day, he meets Cassiopeia Zeran Eros, a strong-willed and independent woman who, for some reason, hates men and love. She works as a secretary for his cousin and is also a frustrated calligraphy artist.Despite their initial animosity towards each other, Viau and Peia are forced to work together on a photography exhibit. She's not thrilled about working with him, but she's determined to keep things professional. However, as they work together, Peia begins to see a different side of Viau. She starts to realize that there may be more to him than just a womanizer. However, they both struggle with their own personal demons and emotional baggage, making it difficult for them to fully open up and trust each other. It was draining.Through the course of their project together, it was undeniably a roller coaster journey. But of course, they both wished that certain moments of them passionately doing something beautiful froze into a photograph that they could look back to.That for once, Peia wanted to try. That for once, Viau wanted to give it his all.Unfortunately, they might just keep their love in a photograph. A photograph that will be just etched in their memory forever. Leave it preserved there with the assurance of not being ruined. That... it is probably safer to keep it that way.Started: January 18, 2024Finished: Published: Status: ONGOING Follow me on my socials for more updates.IG: smnthawsmTwitter: awsmbiFB: Samantha Claire Lim Radaza | awsmbi E-mail: [email protected]

Losing Macy to death is an experience that can only be described as an excruciating and soul-shattering agony. It's the kind of pain that seeps into my very being, infecting every part of my existence with a numbing emptiness. Every breath feels like a struggle, every thought a battle against the memories that haunt me. I find myself replaying every moment I shared with her, wondering what I could have done differently, and wishing I could turn back time. I try to cling to the hope that maybe, just maybe, there was something more I could have done to save her, but deep down I know that there was nothing that could have been done. It's a pain that never truly goes away, a wound that never fully heals. Instead, it lingers, a constant reminder of what was lost, and what could have been.I will never love again. I will forever stay where Macy left me broken... Rest here with her... But as soon as I pledged an oath... I heard her whisper, "Love again, Ivan."That's impossible, Astrid... I will never.

How long has it been? He still hasn't changed, huh? If he did... well, he changed for the worse.I'm now an Electrical Engineer and because I was a scholar under their foundation, I had no choice but to come back here to serve their company for five years.

Being insecure can be a crippling experience, especially when it drives away the person you love. The agony of not giving my girlfriend enough attention while dealing with my own demons is unbearable. I can feel the distance growing between me and my once-close partner, and it hurts more than words can describe. My insecurity stems from a deep-seated belief that I am not good enough, that I am a disappointment to those around me. I have always felt like the black sheep of the family, the never-seen son. I've always wondered why I never measure up, but now I know the reason, and it's a betrayal that cuts to my core.The pain of realizing that I am a secret shame my family kept from me, is excruciating. I can't accept it, and I feel like a bastard, unworthy of anyone's love, especially Coachella's. She's everything I am not, and I can't bear the thought of tarnishing her perfect life with my tainted presence. I fear that if I stick with her, I'll only end up making her feel the way I made my mother feel, like a failure. So, I pushed her away, unable to see that I'm only hurting her more."You are such a bastard asshole, Izo!"I am though...Funny how I just learned that I am a bastard. And hearing it from her mouth... is the downfall of me.Started: March 23, 2023Finished: Published: Status: COMING SOON Follow me on my socials for more updates.IG: smnthawsmTwitter: awsmbiFB: Samantha Claire Lim Radaza | awsmbi E-mail: [email protected]

Pushing someone I love away to keep her safe is a harrowing experience. It feels like my heart is being ripped out of my chest as I try to resist the urge to hold her close. Every moment with her is excruciating because I know that I am going to have to hurt her. I screamed for help, hoping that someone will hear me and take the burden off my shoulders, but no one seems to care. The girl I love heard my cries once, but I cannot let her in on the danger. I have to be strong, even if it means breaking my own heart. I would break just to protect her.I clenched my fist so tightly that my thumb tucked inside my palm, a silent cry for help that nobody sees."Miso, I'm here!"I closed my eyes as I remember her eagerness to help.I wish you were still here, Czarina. But I need to do this.

Leaving someone I love for the sake of my own salvation is a pain that consumes me from the inside out. It's a feeling of helplessness and despair that suffocates me, leaving me gasping for air in a sea of regret and guilt. I thought I was doing the right thing, that by saving myself, I would be able to save her too. But I was wrong. She drowned. And now, all I feel is guilt. Guilt for not being able to save her, guilt for surviving when she didn't, guilt for not realizing how much she needed me until it was too late. All I want is to have her back, to tell her how sorry I am, and to make everything right again. But I know it's too late. The pain of losing her is a wound that will never fully heal, a constant reminder of what could have been, and what was lost."I want you broken like how broken I am, Kahel. I loathe you."There was so much rage in her voice that I just want to breakdown right then and there."Then I beg you to break me, Vica..."Started: March 23, 2023Finished: Published: Status: COMING SOON Follow me on my socials for more updates.IG: smnthawsmTwitter: awsmbiFB: Samantha Claire Lim Radaza | awsmbi E-mail: [email protected]

The pain of being unable to move on from Shaniel, even after so many years, is like drowning in an endless sea of sorrow. It's a feeling of being stuck in time, unable to move forward or find peace. The memories of my first love linger like a stubborn stain, refusing to fade away no matter how much time passes. I know that I shouldn't hold onto the past, but the thought of letting go feels like a betrayal to the love that once was. It's as if I am trapped in a cycle of hopelessness and despair, unable to find a way out. I see the life my best friend and my ex-girlfriend have built together, and I know that I should be happy for them, but it's like a dagger to the heart. It's my karma for pursuing her, even though I knew my best friend had feelings for her first. I feel like the lotus from the dirty water, forever tainted by my past love and memories, and unable to rise above them.But then my window covered with a heavy curtain allowed a light to seep through that it blinded me for a second. "There's hope for us, Doc Pierce." Sasha giggled like it was ridiculous, but she sounded hopeful.

Letting go of someone I love for the sake of her happiness with someone else is a pain that cuts deep into the soul. It's a constant ache that never seems to go away, a reminder of what could have been, but never was. Shaniel and her love were never mine.Watching the person I love more than anything walk away from me and into the arms of another is a pain that can only be described as a gut-wrenching agony.

Every moment feels like a struggle, every memory a painful reminder of what was lost.I tried to move on, to find happiness in other things, but nothing seems to fill the void that was left behind.

I am hers and my heart is with her anyway.But then the coldness around me was swept away by the warmth that embraced all of me. She pulled me in."Hug me back, Drex," she softly plead.No, Laya...
