He was never supposed to notice her. Levi had everything figured out - his music, his band, and the kind of love he thought would last forever. Until it didn't. After a heartbreak that rewrote everything he believed in, Levi swore off love. No attachments. No expectations. No second chances. But Elara was always there. Quiet. Gentle. Constant. She never asked for anything- not his time, not his attention, not even his heart. And maybe that was the problem. Because somewhere along the way... he got used to her being there. And when she finally stopped- that's when everything started to fall apart. Now she's moving on. Smiling at someone else. Living a life that no longer includes him. And for the first time- Levi wants something he already lost. But Elara? She's not sure she can be the girl who waits anymore.

Stefan never cheated. He never came home late. Never gave her a reason to doubt him. He gave her everything except the one thing she needed. Safety. Nadia loved him for twelve years. She left him anyway. This is the story of both those things being true at the same time.

COMPLETED BUT UNDER MAJOR EDITING. ______________ He was hired to protect her. Not fall for her. Aurora Sinclair was used to attention. Wealth, fame, and luxury followed her everywhere - along with danger. After a terrifying attack changes everything, her family hires Damien Knight, a cold and emotionally guarded bodyguard who moves into her home to keep her safe. But living under the same roof quickly becomes dangerous in ways neither of them expected. Because Aurora loves teasing him. And Damien is starting to lose control. The closer they get, the more impossible it becomes to ignore the tension between them. But while Damien is fighting his feelings for her, someone else is watching from the shadows. Someone obsessed. Someone jealous. Someone willing to do anything to take Aurora away from him. And when the truth finally comes out, Damien realizes too late that protecting her might cost him everything.

"I was trying to stop you from embarrassing yourself," he said quietly. "But you-" He ran a hand through his hair, frustration showing in his voice. "You always have to fight back. Always need to prove something." Meher looked at him, her eyes wide with disbelief. "You think I was trying to prove something? Do you hear yourself? Jin, I was just trying to live." Her voice cracked. "I was just trying to be me." Jin clenched his jaw. Why was this so hard? "Then maybe you should stop expecting everyone to get you," he said, his tone sharper than he meant. "Not everyone has to like you, Meher." She sucked in a breath, pain flashing across her face before she quickly hid it. "And what about you? You've made it clear that you don't like me either." Jin opened his mouth, then shut it. He should just say yes and end it here. That would be the smart thing to do. But he didn't. Because the truth was-he didn't hate her. He hated the way she made him feel. The way she made him see things he didn't want to deal with. The way she pushed him to face his own truth. He wanted to say it, but his pride held him back. So instead, he let out a hard breath and changed the subject. "Get up and come to the car. We have to go home." Meher gave a dry, cold laugh and shook her head. "See? You can't even deny it." Two strangers from two different worlds - one from the vibrant lanes of India, the other from the unforgiving spotlight of Korea's music industry. Neither was looking for the other. Neither was ready. But fate doesn't wait for readiness. Bound by their families yet divided by misunderstandings, their hearts clash and collide - love weaving itself between resentment and longing, leaving imprints neither of them asked for. When past wounds and hidden truths threaten to tear them apart, will they hold on to what they've become to each other - or let go of the only person who ever left a mark that mattered?"

When neither of them understood what love truly was... 🩷 it didn't arrive gently. It didn't ask permission. It came like a storm-quiet at first... then destryoing everything in its path.
