savor and forget

Beginning In the quiet rhythm of high school life, where days blur between classes, laughter, and unspoken dreams, two souls begin to notice each other—not all at once, but in fragments. A glance that lingers a second too long. A seat that somehow always ends up nearby. A silence that feels… comfortable. What starts as coincidence slowly turns into something neither of them can explain. They are different in ways that matter—one guarded, carrying unspoken weight behind their eyes; the other warm, gentle, and quietly persistent. Where one hesitates, the other waits. Where one pulls away, the other stays. Between shared notes, passing smiles, and conversations that stretch a little longer each day, something fragile begins to grow. Not loud. Not obvious. But real. Yet high school is not just a place of beginnings—it is also a place of endings. Time moves quickly, expectations rise, and the fear of losing what hasn’t even been confessed begins to settle in. Because sometimes, the hardest thing isn’t falling in love. It’s finding the courage to say it… before it’s too late.

They say love can be arranged. But what happens when the heart isn’t ready? Felix Moretti grew up knowing his future was already written — an arranged engagement to the aloof, powerful CEO Matteo Romano. Bound by family ties and expectations, he stepped into Matteo’s world with quiet devotion, hoping love might grow where duty began. But Matteo never looked at him the way he hoped. Cold. Distant. Untouchable. Until the night everything changed. After a violent attack shatters the illusion of safety, one sacrifice leaves Felix unconscious and Matteo spiraling. And when Felix opens his eyes six months later… he doesn’t remember the man who once meant everything. But the heart has its own memory. And some love stories are destined to begin twice. Matteo must learn to be vulnerable — not a protector from the shadows, but a partner in the light — or risk losing Felix forever.

Seraphina Vale was burned alive for a crime she did not commit. Betrayed by the people she healed and condemned by the man she trusted, she was tied to a pyre and left to die.

Now king, the same man who signed her death order must face the truth: the woman he destroyed is alive… and bound to him by fate. Vengeance, forbidden love, and fire collide in a world where ashes do not forget.

After defeating his enemies and losing his beloved, the monarch of the universe was granted a wish by the celestial. Instead of wishing back for his beloved or immortality, he only wished to rest and forget everything. Little did he know, the celestial has more plans for him in the future.

VOLUME 1: KISS ME, KILL ME, FORGET ME Shen Yi moved closer with a sponge, dipped it into the water, and was just about to start cleaning him when Jiang Qi grabbed his wrist. “What now?” Shen Yi asked, already bracing for more nonsense. “Why don’t you... join me? Mm?” Jiang Qi said with a grin so bright it could power a small city. Shen Yi blinked slowly and replied without hesitation, “No.” He dipped the sponge again and began scrubbing Jiang Qi’s chest. Just as the sponge touched skin, Jiang Qi groaned, a strange sound, halfway between a sigh and something far less innocent. “You sure you don’t want to join me?” he asked, lips curling mischievously. “I’m sure,” Shen Yi answered flatly, continuing his task. But Jiang Qi didn’t stop. Every time the sponge moved across his chest, he let out a new noise, some more dramatic than others. “Oh... there,” he said, eyes fluttering. “Careful, I’m sensitive.” Shen Yi paused mid-scrub and stared at him in disbelief. “Stop... making those sounds.” “I can’t help it,” Jiang Qi replied, smirking. “Your touch does things to me.” Shen Yi rolled his eyes and resumed scrubbing, silently promising himself he wouldn’t fall into this man’s chaos. But Jiang Qi only leaned back in the tub like he was in a spa, letting out another exaggerated moan that echoed through the bathroom. Honestly, if someone were passing by at that moment, they’d probably call the cops. ***** Shen Yi is a black-market assassin who undergoes a memory wipe after every job. He is clean, professional, and impossible to trace,until one day, he is assigned to kill the heir of the Jiang Mafia clan, Jiang Qi, and fails. Instead of dying, Jiang Qi captures Shen Yi and discovers something impossible. Why does this man, who has tried to kill him six times, look so much like the boy who saved him seven years ago? Not just that, why does he seem to remember nothing? Absolutely nothing, including the several times he has tried to kill him. What will happen when a man with no memories and a man who refuses to forget are bound together by blood and obsession? ****** VOLUME 2: LIVING TO LOVE Ten years of love, separation, and yet, they choose to hold on to whatever thin hope there is.

But Jiang Qi has no memory of him this time and Shen Yi must go out of his way and character to help Jiang Qi recover.

Set in rural southern Italy and later extending to northern Italy and New York City, The Ash Tree Does Not Light traces the life of Lucia Moretti, a woman shaped by poverty, faith, and loss, whose endurance becomes her quiet defiance. Before Lucia is born, her parents, Anna and Giovanni Moretti, struggle at the margins of working-class life. Their faith is neither triumphant nor naive; it is a discipline forged by deprivation. When Lucia is born during a winter blackout, her arrival is marked not by celebration but by survival. Childhood is brief. By the age of eleven, Lucia loses both parents—her mother to untreated illness, her father to a fatal dock accident—events that collapse the fragile world she knew and initiate her into an early, unchosen adulthood. Sent to a Catholic orphanage and later adopted by Maria Bellini, a widowed seamstress, Lucia experiences care without sentiment. Maria offers shelter and moral rigor but little emotional warmth, teaching Lucia that love can be expressed through duty rather than tenderness. As Lucia’s intellectual gifts emerge, education becomes both a refuge and a source of guilt: to want more than survival feels like betrayal. Faith, once instinctive, becomes labor—practiced even in doubt. Through scholarships and relentless discipline, Lucia escapes rural poverty to study literature in northern Italy, where class divides sharpen her sense of estrangement. Love proves insufficient when it demands diminishment. Ultimately, Lucia emigrates to New York, where anonymity and hardship persist, but her purpose clarifies as she teaches children from immigrant and impoverished backgrounds, recognizing fragments of her own history in theirs. The novel culminates in Lucia’s return to her childhood home, where memory and grief are no longer enemies. She does not receive explanations for suffering, nor the consolations she once prayed for. Instead, she claims a faith stripped of reward and a hope rooted in endurance. Like the ash tree pla

You won’t remember how it starts. Maybe it was a boy in a room. Maybe it was a letter on a table. Maybe it was you. You’ll think you know what’s happening. You’ll follow the clues. Try to piece together the names, the faces, the places that seem just a little off, the chapters that aren't linear. You’ll swear something important just happened a few pages ago—until it’s gone. But don’t worry. You’re not supposed to understand. You’re not supposed to hold on. You’re just supposed to read. And when the story ends—if it ends— you will forget it. That’s the only way it works. But please, don't forget me.
