𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇, years after their quiet, painful breakup, Imani Knowles and Jude Bellingham reunite at a mutual friend's wedding. The night hums with old memories and unresolved feelings. Imani, now a sharp and successful marketing agent, has built a life far from the shadow of their past. But when she locks eyes with Jude, now a global football star, something in her shifts. He makes it clear, without hesitation, that he's never stopped thinking about her. Though the spark is undeniable, Imani is cautious. She remembers the distance, the silence, and how hard it was to let go. But Jude's quiet persistence and the weight of everything unspoken begin to wear down her walls. Each shared look and lingering moment brings them closer to what they used to be, or something entirely new. Some loves never really leave, and this might be their chance to find out if they were always meant to circle back.

𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇, Jude and Yasmine have been inseparable since they were children. Friends tied together by their fathers' bond and now part of the same close-knit friend group. To everyone around them, it's obvious Jude has feelings for her, a quiet truth wrapped in teasing jokes and knowing glances. But Yasmine has always seen him as her constant, someone safe and familiar, never once considering that their friendship could be anything more. That is, until one night changes everything. After a few too many drinks at a party, the line between them blurs, and they wake up the next morning tangled in something far more complicated than either of them expected. In the aftermath, the two are forced to confront what they've always brushed aside. Jude is hopeful but guarded, afraid to believe this might mean something more, while Yasmine finds herself unexpectedly shaken and unsure if the night was a mistake or the start of a truth she's never dared to face. As their dynamic shifts, so do the questions: Can they go back to the way things were, or has everything changed? And more importantly, was it ever just friendship to begin with? The once-simple bond between them begins to unravel, making them wonder if they've crossed a line they can't come back from, or finally stepped into what was meant to be.

Ella Hamilton never expected to catch the attention of Liverpool's star defender. She was just the team cook - quiet, focused, and determined to keep her distance. But Virgil van Dijk had other plans. And once he set his sights on her, there was no escaping. ❝ You're blushing❞" ❝I'm not❞ Virgil chuckles, leaning in slightly. ❝You are. It's cute❞ Ella exhales sharply, focusing on the dish in front of her. ❝You should focus on football.❞ ❝I am.❞ His voice is low, teasing. ❝But you make it very difficult.❞ started: 06.03.2025 - updates every week.
