"Gone are the days of whispered dreams under shared blankets and unspoken jokes that made us laugh until our stomachs hurt. We had once felt like two halves of a perfect whole, our love stitched together by time, trust, and a belief that we'd always be on the same path. But now, that path had split - quietly, slowly, like the shifting of tectonic plates." --- Stella and Vaughn have been married for three years - a relationship built on many years of love and trust. After meeting in college, they quickly became the center of one another's world, and got married straight after graduating. But things have changed. Gone are the days of late-night talks and spontaneous laughter. Now, silence fills the spaces where connection used to live. Stella often finds herself staring at Vaughn across the dinner table, or from opposite ends of the bed, wondering when the comfort of routine turned into the weight of distance. Vaughn, on the other hand, is too occupied to notice the shift. Too busy with numbers and securing deals, Vaughn never noticed his wife slipping away until she was already gone. Vaughn is determined to win her back, but will the combination of the past, family, and friends stand in the way?

She was a nameless staff in his towering empire. He was a man destined for greatness... and already claimed by another. But fate-cruel and cunning-tied their lives together with a lie wrapped in roses and regret. Juliette never asked for love. She only wanted a quiet life, a dream of her own perfume shop, and maybe... a place to belong. Sebastian Whitmore, cold and calculated, offered her marriage-not out of love, but out of obligation. Hidden from the world, sealed with promises that meant nothing to him. What began as a forced union slowly turned into something unspoken. She cared for him in ways he never noticed. He wore the scents she made, breathed in the comfort she left behind... Yet he never knew it was her. Until she was gone. Until everything fell apart. Until the woman he never chose became the one his heart could never forget. And now-he's chasing ghosts in the wind, searching for the scent that once felt like home.

On the night her boyfriend got engaged to another woman,Sophia drowned her sorrows in a haze of alcohol and made a daring choice-spending the night with Nathaniel, the brother of her boyfriend's fiancée. Sophia sought a man with power and influence to shield her from the sting of betrayal. Nathaniel, in turn, was drawn to her youthful beauty and captivating confidence. For a time, it felt like more than just an arrangement. Sophia believed Nathaniel might truly care for her. But her hopes were dashed when he revealed his plans for a strategic marriage, leaving her only a check and a cold farewell. He expected tears, accusations, maybe even a scene. But Sophia merely smiled, pocketed the check, and walked out with her dignity intact. Her parting words were simple and cutting: "Goodbye, Nathaniel. I doubt we'll ever meet again." Fate, however, had other plans. When their paths crossed once more, Sophia was no longer the heartbroken woman he'd left behind. Stronger and more radiant than ever, she had someone new by her side. Nathaniel's jealousy was undeniable, his voice raw with regret. "Sophia," he said, his tone heavy with emotion, "it was me you loved first." She met his gaze with calm amusement, her smile laced with irony. "Nathaniel, you're the one who walked away. If you want a date now, you'll have to get in line." The very next day, Nathaniel appeared with a dazzling diamond ring and a fortune worth billions, dropping to one knee in front of her. "Sophia, I'm done waiting. Marry me."

INCOMPLETE I used to live in a fairytale. As a talented ballet dancer, I always dreamed of finding my Prince Charming, and I thought I had-his name was Dylan. He was everything I'd ever hoped for: kind, loving, and devoted. For a while, it really felt like our love story was straight out of a romance novel. But then, Dylan's career took over. At first, I understood-his job was demanding, and he had big ambitions. But soon, it became clear that his focus had shifted entirely, and I was left to watch as the magic that once defined our relationship faded away. His physical absence became matched by his emotional distance, and I started feeling more like a stranger than his girlfriend. The man I had fallen in love with seemed to be slipping away, and I was drowning in a sea of loneliness. The turning point came when Dylan didn't show up for the most important performance of my career. I'd been counting the days, reminding him, hoping that he'd be there to support me. But as I stood on stage, performing my heart out, I realized I couldn't keep pretending it didn't hurt. Dylan had made it clear-work always came first, and I was no longer a priority.
