ICE BETWEEN US: BREAK ME
Noa’s love for masked Diamond was real. Their chats were honest, but everything changed after Max’s injury.
Believing Max's lie that Noa was responsible, Leon decided on revenge.
However, revenge became complicated when Leon realized Noa was nothing like the arrogant captain he imagined.
Behind Noa’s cold reputation was a boy drowning in debts, working himself to exhaustion, and hiding painful secrets.
What Noa didn’t know was that Diamond and Leon were the same person.
Now trapped between vengeance and desire, Leon found himself falling for the one person he swore to destroy. Their rivalry ignited into stolen kisses, secret nights, and a forbidden relationship. That could cost them everything, especially when enemies began uncovering the truth.
With betrayal and dangerous secrets, Leon and Noa must decide if love is worth it or if the ice between them is too deep to break.

Chapter: Chapter 80. The confessionLeon took another step, Noa stared at him. The steam drifted between them, softening the fluorescent lights overhead. The shower room felt strangely distant from the rest of the world. Noa still didn't move. Water rolled down his hair and shoulders as he watched Leon approach. "What are you doing?" Noa asked quietly. Leon managed a weak smile."I don't know." Then, in another step the space between them disappeared. Noa could hear Leon's uneven breathing over the steady rush of the shower."You've been avoiding me all day." "Are you sure about that?" “I know that you're, babe” “Do I have a reason to? Leon lowered his gaze. "I..I…” His words got stuck in his throat. Silence settled between them.Then, almost without thinking, Leon reached out. His fingertips lightly brushed a droplet of water from Noa's temple before trailing down to his cheek.The touch was so gentle it almost wasn't there. Noa's breath caught. "Leon..." "I've missed t

Chapter: Chapter 79. SteamingHe wondered if he already knew but couldn't arrive at a decision. He couldn't look at him as he tried to speak. "Noa...I" His voice cracked. The word reached the tip of his tongue but didn't come out. His eyes became moist. He could almost remember his promise to Leon of their meeting on the weekend before his brother’s injury. He wanted nothing more than to pull Noa into his arms and tell him everything. That he'd let anger blind him. That every act of kindness toward Noa hadn't been accidental.But another way of making up for his mess. The guilt, the regret, and the fear that Noa would hate him for cutting him off unfairly remained. What if Noa believed he wasn't still sincere with him? What if knowing the truth only reopened wounds that had barely healed? Leon's courage to open up vanished. His hopeful expression slowly crumbled. He looked away and said, "I never met anyone by that name." Those words felt like a knife through his own heart. "I don't know

Chapter: Chapter 78. Mine before and nowTwo days later, Leon jerked awake with a gasp. His heart pounded so hard that for a few seconds he couldn't tell whether he was still dreaming or already awake. "Diamond..." The name slipped from his lips before he could stop it. He sat up slowly, rubbing his face. The dream had been so vivid. The young Diamond had been standing beneath the old oak tree close to flowers. He was smiling at him as if they knew each other well. "You promised we'd meet again." I told him. Then, somehow, Diamond's voice had changed. It became Leon's voice as he promised. Then Leon appeared in the young Diamond’s place before he jerked awake. Noa frowned deeply. He threw the blanket aside and stood. "No... Why would I dream of Diamond sounding like Leon?" His mind replayed every conversation he'd had with Leon over the past few weeks. "You're not alone. I'll wait. You don't have to carry everything yourself." Every sentence echoed almost word for word with things Diam

Chapter: Chapter 77. Calming his fears A faint smile crossed his lips. "Yeah, well, my Dad never got the chance to pay the debts." The smile disappeared. "The debt didn't die with him. It came to me." Leon sat beside him in silence.Noa continued. "My mother was already gone. My sister, was raped and since then she had never been the same." His voice caught. He needed treatment, so there was only me." "So, I quit thinking about what I wanted. I stopped asking for help. I worked." He smiled bitterly. "Thank goodness for the scholarship. Morning...school and hockey. Evening…work, then home.The next day...I did it all again." Leon could barely breathe. "Why didn't you tell me?" Noa laughed quietly. "What would I have said? Hi, Leon.I like you. By the way, dangerous people are threatening my family because of a debt that isn't even mine.” He shook his head. "I didn't want you involved. I didn't want anyone involved. My sister already is.” His voice cracked. Leon grabbed his hand. "Y

Chapter: Chapter 76. Truth he never toldhe bruises inflicted on Noa last night refused to leave Leon's mind.Even during lectures, he couldn't concentrate. The professor's voice faded into meaningless background noise while the image of Noa's battered face replayed over and over in his head. Who did this? Why won't he tell me? He gripped his pen so tightly his knuckles turned white. Noa smiled, and laughed. He had insisted he was fine. However, Leon now knew that smile hid more than exhaustion.It also hid pain. When the bell finally rang, Leon packed his books without even realizing it. Jenny bumped his shoulder."Earth to Leon." "Hm? You've been staring at the same page for twenty minutes." "Oh..." He forced a smile. Sorry, I wasn't concentrating." "Hmm, you've been worrying about Noa all day, haven't you?" Leon didn't deny it. "I just have this feeling that something isn't right."His voice grew quiet. Practice ended earlier than usual.Coach Finn dismissed everyone with a reminder abo

Chapter: Chapter 75. Stay stillLeon glared at him. "Serves you right." Noa chuckled weakly. "There you are." "What?" "You smiled." Leon didn't smile back again. His expression remained serious as he cleaned the wound with incredible care. Noa watched him silently. His boyfriend's hands were gentle, almost reverent. It was as though afraid of causing him even the slightest pain. When Leon reached for Noa's sleeve to check another bruise peeking beneath it, Noa instinctively pulled his arm back. "Don't." Leon stopped. "Why?" "I'm okay." "Noa." "It's just a scratch." Leon didn't stop. He slowly rolled up the sleeve anyway. Then, he froze. Dark purple bruises covered Noa's forearm. Some fresh. Some are already turning yellow. There were finger-shaped marks near his wrist. A long scrape ran from his elbow almost to his hand. Leon's breathing caught."Noa…" His voice was barely audible."This..." He looked up, his eyes glistening. "This isn't from bumping into someone." No

UNCHARTED PATH
Lucas and Alex were born differently, but Lucas lived with a secret, more specific and intriguing.
Betrayed twice by James, Alex became broken, cold, and depressed. He decided to end it all, but Lucas stepped in with kind words and pulled him out from his darkest edge, and left him with a good luck charm.
Alex swore off love and locked his heart away. He became a man with one motive...rejection of love proposals. Any gender that crossed his path was used and dumped. His only desire was to meet his lucky charm guy (Lucas) again.
Two years later, they met, and his love bloomed. As the feelings grew, so did Alex’s fear and, with it, his anger. How could he love again when the past still haunted him? Out of jealousy, his love for Lucas suddenly turned to hatred.
Why did he hate the one person who made him feel alive again? Can Alex overcome his fear of betrayal, or will he destroy the very love that could heal him completely?
What secret did Lucas live with? Could they navigate it and bond again, or would they fall apart?

Chapter: Chapter 267. Happily ever afterHe rested his forehead against Lucas's. "I've watched you fight through so much. I don't want you hurting anymore." Lucas gently squeezed his hand."I'm going to be okay. Our babies are going to be okay." Alex nodded, though tears had already begun filling his eyes. "I know. His voice broke. "I love you too much." Lucas smiled softly. "I love you too." Outside the operating theatre, both families waited. Sally paced endlessly. Caleb kept praying quietly. Emily clasped Annie's hand tightly. Jason tried distracting everyone with jokes that nobody heard. Even Mr. Westman, usually composed, couldn't stay seated for more than a minute. "This waiting is torture." He sighed heavily. Doctor Peters stepped into the waiting area. "Everything is ready. The surgery will begin shortly." Alex looked at him. "Can I stay with him?" Doctor Peters smiled. "Yes. As long as you remain calm." Alex nodded immediately. "I won't disturb anything." The nurse opened the the

Chapter: Chapter 266. TerrifiedThe months flew by faster than anyone expected. Lucas's pregnancy had progressed beautifully, and with twins, everyone treated him as though he were carrying the world's greatest treasure. To be fair, he was because anywhere he passed, heads turned. “Is he a man or woman? Is he really pregnant?” People were amazed. Lucas carried himself proudly giving out smiles as they admired him. Sally had practically begged Alex."Please, let him stay here until after the babies are born. I'll sleep better knowing he's surrounded by people." After much persuasion, and Lucas rolling his eyes at everyone's worry, Alex reluctantly agreed. So Lucas was staying at Benson's mansion. Unfortunately, everyone had taken the responsibility of looking after him a little too seriously. They were like…"Lucas, don't walk too fast." "Lucas, sit down." "No, put your feet up." "You should drink more water." "Eat another orange." "No, bananas are better." "He needs more vegeta

"What now?" Alex looked at him. "If I were the one carrying our babies..." He shook his head. "I wouldn't work. I'd stay home. I'd sleep and I'd eat. I'd let everyone spoil me." Lucas burst into laughter. "You?" "Yes, me. I'd be the world's most obedient pregnant husband." Lucas walked over, smiling warmly."Oh really?" He wrapped both arms around Alex's neck. "Come on, honey. I won't do anything that could hurt our babies." Alex rested his forehead against Lucas's. "I know but I can't help worrying. "I'll only work four hours." "Hmm?" Alex searched his eyes."And if you can't handle it..." Lucas smiled softly. "I'll quit." "No arguments?" "No arguments." Alex studied him for another moment before finally smiling."Good." He tilted Lucas's chin upward and kissed him gently.

"Can I start serving my punishment now?" Lucas grinned. "You've got nine hundred and ninety-nine kisses left after the first one." Alex didn't waste another second.He cupped Lucas's face gently and kissed him, soft and lingering. When they finally pulled apart, the room erupted into cheers and playful applause. Doctor Peters shook his head with a smile. "I think that's enough excitement for one day." Alex laughed, still holding Lucas's hand. "No," he said, gazing into Lucas's eyes. "This is just the beginning of the rest of our lives. As the laughter in the room died down, Alex looked hopefully at Doctor Peters. "Doc... can't he be discharged today?" The doctor smiled and shook his head. "Not yet." Alex's face fell. "Lucas still has one more ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow. I want to

Chapter: Chapter 263. Larissa's descentA bitter laugh escaped her."Yes." Her eyes were wild. "You drove me crazy." She pointed toward her car."Walk over there and get in. We're going for a ride." Alex didn't move. "I'm not going anywhere with you." Her finger tightened around the trigger. "I'll shoot if you don't move!" Before either of them could act, several voices rang through the parking lot. "Police! Drop the weapon!" Officers emerged from different directions, surrounding her. "Miss Larissa, you're under arrest for stealing a police officer's firearm and threatening another person's life." Larissa's face, drained of color."No..." The officers moved closer. "Drop the gun now!" Panic overtook her. "If I can't have you, no one will." Her jaw clenched as her finger squeezed the trigger.Bang! The shot rang out. Alex instinctively turned as the round struck him in the back. The impact forced him forward. He staggered several steps before falling to one knee. The office

Chapter: Chapter 262. Sweet familyAlex was reminded again that Lucas must not be exposed to stress. The moment the doctor and nurses stepped out of the room, Alex let out the breath he had been holding. He pulled out his phone and immediately dialed his mother's number. "Mom..." The moment she answered, he couldn't stop the joy spreading across his face. "He's awake." There was a sharp gasp from the other end. "He woke up?" "Yes." Alex laughed, tears already gathering in his eyes. "He woke up." "Oh, thank God." "He remembers us, he's talking, and the doctor says he's doing well." Alex glanced at Lucas, who was quietly watching him with a small smile. "But Mom, there's one condition." "What is it?" "The doctor said he mustn't be stressed. So... please keep this a secret for now. Don't tell anyone." "I understand," Sally replied softly. "Take good care of him." "I will, Mom." After ending the call, Alex phoned Emily. "Em." "You sound happy." "Yes, I'm happy. He woke up."
