the petal doors

At a lavish masquerade ball, hidden behind silk and shadows, he shares one sinful, passionate kiss with a mystery woman—Portia Zira, a woman far removed from the polished circles of the elite. That single kiss ignites a fire neither of them can forget. What begins as a stolen moment soon turns into an affair—intoxicating, clandestine, and forbidden. Behind closed doors, they burn for each other, their connection too fierce to deny. But in Levi’s world of ruthless ambition and unrelenting scrutiny, love is a luxury he cannot afford… and Portia is a risk he’s never dared to take. As their secret spirals into something deeper, Levi must decide how much he’s willing to sacrifice for the woman he adores. And Portia? She’ll have to confront whether she can ever truly belong in a world built on appearances, legacy, and rules she was never meant to follow. How far will they go to stay together? And what happens when the truth refuses to stay hidden?

When both worlds collide in a fury of harsh words rude remarks and arranged marriage, would they be the peace and happiness to the other like they both crave? WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? Don't look at me, even I don't know... but you can read to find out.

Tangerine Stone is an S tier trouble magnet with a hate for Tuesdays. Follow along as she joins a magic academy, makes friends with a brain slug, tries to understand her place in this new world, and hopefully flirts with some pretty girls. What to expect: GL, Tangerine is a big old disaster lesbian. All of the horny and no where to put it. No Harem or poly, Tang is a bit of a flirt, but if or when she settles down she is a *slightly* possessive one woman type of girl. This isn't really a Litrpg, but it gets kinda close, no stats but lots of collecting magic items. Tropes, yes! Its a portal adventure where Tangerine joins a magic academy, deal with almost Otome situations in a world that is discount MtG! How MtG? I'm being inspired by the cards but not the lore. There's no Jace hanging about here. I'm also shamelessly bringing in a lot of inspiration from other stuff I like! Super slow burn / slice of life. Each update is just another day, I picked this format because I have no plan, this a brain dead story. There will be some action and adventure hopefully some angst and drama too! Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer for tone. Weak to strong, kinda. More like unprepared to prepared. Single character first person focus, 99% of chapters will be from the perspective of Tangerine. I'm not going to say I will never do a different point of view, but it will be rare. No ai has touched this work, you can tell because of all the mistakes! Book one complete!

Leave “He loves me, he loves me not,” mahinang usal ko before I continue chanting and plucked another petals. “He loves me... he loves me...” I stop. I sighed at hindi na itinuloy ang pagpitas sa huling petal ng daisy. The last petal defines his feelings towards me. The victory wasn’t on my part, it’s always on him. A tear escaped on my eyes. As much as I would love the thought of him loving me back, but no! He’s deeply in love with someone else. “What’s with my cousin? Why her, Race? Can’t you see my worth? Can’t you see how much I love you? Can’t you see that I’m head over heels to you, even you dumped me so many times? Can’t you love me, even just a little?Can’t you see... my sacrifices?” I desperately asked, followed by small sobs. God knows how I badly wanted to hug him tight. I like him, so much. Funny how I was fantasizing myself to be one of the Disney princesses and with one kiss and everything will be a happy ever after with him. But no, he is no prince nor I am a princess. I love him, while he loves my cousin so much. “Why her?” pumiyok ang boses ko sa tanong ko habang patuloy na namamalisbis ang luha sa pisngi ko. “Is it because she likes you, and you like her too?” patuloy ko, hindi matanggap na totoo ang nakita ko. I was trying so hard to accept this to myself, but here I am, still crying my shit. “I’m sorry, Wren...” tanging sambit ni Race bago tumalikod at dahan-dahang naglakad palayo. I can’t believe this is happening to me! Why do I always feel that I am not worth to keep? People around me always left me in pain. Why do he always see her, not me? I’m always drowning from saving people around me. But who will save me then? “Are you going to leave me just like that?” Horace coldly said and chuckle. I glued my eyes on him with my furrowing forehead, not thinking anymore if he is serious about what he’s saying. Napabuntong hininga nalang ako. “It would be unfair of me if I’ll leave you without my reasons. But on the other hand, you don’t deserve it anyway. You don’t deserve any explanation, you, yourself know what you’d done that pushed me to walk away.” I heaved a sigh again and remain emotionless. “Til we meet next time, Race,” I murmured as I turn my back and walk away. I will find myself for I am lost. I will save myself for I am tossed. Because if I continues this dream I have, surely I’ll drown. Baby, you’ll always be the reason for my giggles and laughs. The dried tears on my cheeks, my smile and sleepless nights. But you will also the reason for the ache of my heart, and why my chest hammers so hard. ---- This story is also available on Wattpad @GorgeousYooo
