A girl who talks too much. A man who barely speaks. A beginning that already feels like trouble. Isla Bennett has always been easy to read, easy to love, and impossible to silence, drifting through life with a kind warmth. Rafe Costello is the complete opposite, a CEO built on control and silence, someone who keeps his distance because it's easier than letting anyone get close enough to matter. What begins as reluctant proximity between them, slowly turns into something neither of them can seem to stay away from. But the question is.. how does a man who trusts nothing learn to trust someone like her? And how does a girl who feels everything, handle the one person she cannot quite figure out? ------------------------------------------------------------------ He shook his head slightly. But lifted his arm anyway. She spun again, laughing louder this time, and when she looked back at him he was watching her carefully. He muttered quietly under his breath. "You're trouble." Isla blinked at him, before soon smiling with a wide grin. "I'll take that as a compliment." ------------------------------------------------------------------ -SEQUEL TO 'MR.SERIOUS'-

A story of aching nostalgia, unfinished love, and a bond written in stars, not promises. Some stories don't end... they just pause beneath the weight of silence. · · ─ ·𖥸· ─ · · If you've ever loved someone in silence, or waited for a love that never really left... this story is for you. Dive in, and let your heart ache beautifully.

BOOK 2 Some love stories don't end with separation. They begin with regret. RAYYAN MALIK was once a man ruled by pride-one of India's most powerful businessmen, known for his sharp mind, cold discipline, and intimidating silence. He had everything a man could want: wealth, success, respect. Except the one thing he destroyed with his own hands. His childhood love. Aayat. A single doubt. A single moment of mistrust. And the woman who once belonged to his heart walked away forever-into another man's life, another destiny. Aayat's marriage didn't just break Rayyan. It erased him. The man who once commanded boardrooms became quiet. The arrogance dissolved into guilt. The cold heart turned inward, punishing itself day after day. He stopped trusting happiness. He stopped believing he deserved peace. Instead, he found Allah. In repentance. In silence. In solitude. When his family asked him to marry again, he agreed-not out of hope, but submission. Maybe this was his punishment. Maybe this was his chance at redemption. And then there was FARIYAL SHEIKH. A girl whose life had been a prison long before Rayyan ever entered it. Orphaned at ten, she was taken in by relatives who valued her inheritance more than her existence. Locked away in a storeroom. Fed leftovers. Denied education. Beaten for mistakes she never committed. She carried no sins. Yet suffered endlessly. The only kindness she ever received came from a man who pretended not to care-her elder cousin, who shielded her in silence while keeping his distance to protect her. Now fate brings together two broken souls: One drowning in guilt for sins he committed. One bleeding silently for crimes she never did. This is not a story of instant love. It is a story of healing. Of redemption. Of a man who must learn to forgive himself. And a woman who must learn she was never meant to suffer. Because sometimes... Allah doesn't give us what we want. He gives us what we need.

Neil asked smugly and Jaanvika nodded to which he replied, "That's why I hate you." "I hate everything that you love." He repeated with a grin. "I love your ocean blue eyes." Jaanvika said after a beat, her smile turning sweet and sharp at once, "Can you please pluck them out?" She watched for the irritation to surface on his face. Instead, he slung his bag back onto his shoulder in one fluid motion, pulled her towards him by her arm, and muttered into the small distance between them, "Doesn't matter. They're already yours." He paused for a second as something crossed his face, "They keep searching for-" He bit the words off mid-sentence, while she hiccuped at the sudden weight of them, naturally. His fingers came up to her nose, and he held her gaze with a steadiness as if he's laying a trap, "They actually search for you, you know. But do you know why?" Jaanvika looked into his eyes the way one looks into deep water. She was compelled but uncertain of the depth,"Wh - why?" "Just to annoy you."
