Tortured. Broken. Mute. That's all Lyana was when I tore her from the clutches of a brutal trafficking ring. To her, I was a saviour-the only one she could cling to, the only one she trusted to keep her safe. And when she refused to return to the family who had abandoned her, fate left us with only one choice: marriage. But the truth is, I was never a saviour. My hands are stained, my soul far from clean. Yet if my wife insists on seeing me as her protector...then I will be. For her. And only her.

(Can be read as a standalone.) With my past erased, all I have left are fragments-fleeting flashes of memory that never give me the full picture. One goal drives me: uncover how my family was slaughtered. Find the murderer. Find the one who tried to kill me and failed. Viella Clavin is the thread that ties me back to the truth. She knows something, even if she doesn't realize it yet. And until I recover what was stolen from me, she stays mine, whether as my unwilling ally...or my captive.

October I loved him with everything I had. From the moment I was a teenager scribbling his name in my notebooks, to the nights I waited up for him with cold dinners and colder silences. He was my first everything-my husband, the father of my children, the quiet love of my life. I built our world with devotion, patience, and hope. But love isn't always enough, especially when you're competing with someone who seems to get the version of him you used to dream of. I told myself he'd remember me. That one day he'd see me again. But the truth is, he already looked away-months ago. And I let it happen. Until my children saw it too. Until I couldn't unsee it.

I started pushing Noah's arms away from me. "Ma..... May I have a word with you" I said to Noah walking out of the kitchen without waiting for his reply. I walked at the corner of the living room and waited for Noah to come. He came after a few seconds and stood in front of me. The first thing I did was check his temperature with my hand. I am glad he didn't move back to my touch. Instead he was analyzing me. "Are you alright" I asked. He looked at me in confusion. "I am fine. Why?" He asked. "Did you hit your head somewhere" I asked. "No" he said. "Then why aren't you afraid of women. You used to always avoid talking to them or being near them. But today, you.... you are talking to me an........and touching me. That isn't normal........." I stopped speaking when he again started walking towards me. Instantly my feet started moving back. I stopped walking when I felt the wall hit my back. He stood in front of me keeping his hand against my head, bending down to my level looking into my eyes. "What isn't normal" he asked. My eyes flicked to his lips for a second which looked soft. "You.......You are speaking with me. You al.... always ignore me" I said. ****************** Alena Lincoln, the invisible twin. Wanting for love, wanting to achieve her dreams.

Ghazi's hand was forced. The last thing he wanted was a wife. Then she came into his life. The most stubborn woman he had ever met, seeking his help that he hadn't offered. It was suggested he should while trying to keep peace with his half-brother's family. Others worried he would become too powerful if he married within their circle. Since he never planned to marry or have a family it wasn't an issue in his books. The only solution was to present a wife, and she is it. So it was agreed upon a year as his wife. Dale would do anything to prove her brother innocent of all charges and clear his name, where Taylor could face up to 25 years in prison in a foreign country, so what is a year married to a man, who was heartless and despised her? That she put her dreams on hold. When she flew to the Middle East, to help her brother who was arrested for stealing artefacts, the last thing she expected was to find herself married to a stranger. From Australia to the Middle East, London, a journey begins looking for the truth. Sometimes the truth was something you weren't bargaining for. The past can make who you are, the future might redefine you. A year might not be a lifetime but it could change everything.
