When obsession crosses the line, it's not always hate that follows, sometimes, it's love in its most dangerous form. Anaya has always been fragile. Soft-hearted, quiet, and full of hidden pain. Her past is something she never speaks about, but it lives inside her every day. The trauma, the memories, the nightmares, they have shaped her into someone who doesn't laugh like she used to, doesn't trust like she once could. And the one person who was her entire world in childhood... became the reason for her deepest wounds. Arhem Khan. Five years older. Her first love. Her first heartbreak. And the only one who ever truly saw her, yet also the one who unknowingly became part of her pain. Now, Anaya is ready to leave everything behind and get married, not out of love, but so her family can finally have peace. Maybe if she disappears from their lives, they'll stop hurting. Maybe her absence will be a gift. But fate brings Arhem back. He's changed. Or maybe, he's only ever been this way with her, dangerous in his devotion, intense in his silence, and soft in ways no one else sees. When he finds out she's getting married, he can't stay away. And when the unexpected happens on her wedding day, Arhem makes a bold move that changes everything. He replaces the groom. Now Anaya is forced to live in a deal she never wanted, married to the man she tried so hard to forget, far from her family, carrying her trauma into a new home that doesn't feel like hers. But Arhem is not her villain. He's her past, her present, and the storm she never escaped. He wants to protect her, love her, and heal her, but he doesn't know how to let go. And she doesn't know how to forgive. This is a story of broken hearts, buried pain, childhood love that turned into something darker, and two souls trying to find peace in a bond that never truly died. What happens when love is not the problem, but the past is? Will she learn to trust the man she fears?

What Was Meant to Be The sequel to the story "What We Never Said" They thought silence would protect them. They thought distance would heal them. But some stories refuse to end unfinished. Zara and Zayden's marriage was born out of a contract and ended in chaos-shattered by betrayals, poisoned by misunderstandings, and destroyed by the words they never spoke. Theirs was a love too fragile to survive... or so it seemed. Now, fate has pulled them back into each other's orbit. A secret neither of them can run from. A bond that refuses to break. And a truth that could either save them-or tear them apart forever. Will they finally confront everything they left unsaid? Or are some wounds destined never to heal? What Was Meant to Be is the heart-wrenching sequel to What We Never Said, a duet about love, loss, and the second chances we never see coming. ✨ Get ready to dive into their story, where heartbreak meets hope, enemies blur into lovers, and nothing is ever as simple as it seems.
