I don't know just writing so come read. Also this is a short story no more than 10 chapters.

He's not searching for love, just a moment to breathe. Then he walks into The PussyCat... and finds me.

A forbidden love, that once explored will cause chaos in both individuals lives. Such destruction that if exploded will it ever settle? Will forgiveness be given? Will understanding be received? Will apologies be delivered? But most importantly, will that forbidden love make it through the abyss?

What will you do for love?

Zac knows what it means to be broken. Love burned him once, and he swore he'd never let it happen again. Hardened by betrayal and a past he doesn't talk about, Zac keeps his heart locked away-safe, untouched. Fatima thought she had love all figured out-until it shattered in her face. Now, she moves with caution, focused on her career, her peace, and never letting another man play her for a fool. Neither of them are looking for love. But when their worlds collide, sparks fly and walls start to crumble. What begins as a slow connection quickly turns into something deeper-something neither of them expected. But old wounds leave scars, and falling for someone new means facing the pain of the past. In a world full of trust issues, broken hearts, and second chances-can Zac and Fatima risk it all to find something real?

A year after their painful breakup, Zac and Fatima find themselves reunited on a breathtaking island for their mutual friends' wedding. Having promised to never cross paths again, they agree to keep things civil for the sake of the celebration. But as old feelings resurface under the island's dreamy sunsets and warm breezes, the spark between them proves hard to ignore. With love in the air, Zac and Fatima must decide if this unexpected reunion is their second chance - or just a beautiful reminder of what they lost.

Praying seems to be the only thing I can do. Even though I don't have much, I'm still thankful to be alive. Even though my life, in its entirety, doesn't feel like life at all, I pray. I pray for better days. I pray someone will help me. I pray for friends. I pray for love. But most of all, I prayed for you.
