With wealthy parents, a picture perfect reputation, and a thriving side hustle doing flawless wig installs, she has the kind of life everyone envies.

Growing up in the foster care system, her survival guide is simple: don't get comfortable, and don't expect people to stay. She keeps her circle small, her words careful, and her guard up while working her shifts at Foot Locker and counting down the days until graduation. They live in completely different worlds, but senior year has a way of blurring the lines. Between late night food runs, R&B playing through car speakers, and the chaotic energy of their friend groups merging, Zori and Jaida find themselves pulled into each other's orbit. Zori talks. Jaida listens. Zori makes Jaida feel chosen. Jaida makes Zori feel accepted. But when senior year ends and the safety nets fall away, the real world hits harder than either of them expected. When Zori's perfect life shatters after coming out, and Jaida officially ages out of the system, they're left with nothing but each other and the keys to a small apartment. Together, they have to learn that love isn't something you should have to earn and that home was never a place. It was a person. -lifewindia©️

Sometimes the person who says, "I'll never let you go"... means it. Kai and Milan were everybody's favorite toxic couple. Always arguing. Always blocking each other. Always finding their way back. The type of love people laugh at... until it stops being funny. At first, Milan thought Kai's jealousy meant he cared. The missed calls, the fake numbers after she blocked him, the random pull-ups, the constant "Where you at?"-she wore it like a badge of honor. She thought she had a man who'd do anything to keep her. She just didn't realize how far "anything" could go. What Kai felt had long since outgrown love. Love gives. Love trusts. Love lets go when it has to. He didn't. To Kai, Milan wasn't just the woman he loved. She was the center of his world, and he couldn't imagine a life where she existed without him. Every step away from him felt like betrayal. Every new face became an enemy. Every goodbye felt impossible. He didn't just want her heart. He wanted to keep her.

*One year. One contract. One lie that was never meant to feel real.* Alexander Sterling is everything love is not-cold, controlled, and married to his company. When his parents demand a wife and his empire is put on the line, he does the unthinkable: he lies. Elara Vance was never supposed to be part of that lie. She's warm where he's distant, soft where he's sharp, and far too genuine to play pretend... yet she signs the contract anyway. A marriage of convenience. Forced proximity. Rules designed to keep hearts out of the equation. But lines blur, touches linger, and pretending starts to feel dangerously real. Because the hardest part wasn't staying married for a year- it was remembering why they ever agreed to lie. ✨ Grumpy x Sunshine πŸ’ Marriage of Convenience πŸ”₯ Slow Burn
