"He had seven years to regret. She had seven years to forget." Seven years ago, Masie Sinclair walked away from a grand proposal - the one she'd always dreamed of - from the boy she loved. She left her hometown with a shattered heart and a fierce determination to build her own life. Now a successful interior designer in the city, Masie lives a life where she answers to no one. Her days are filled with projects and renovations, her nights with quiet solitude. But one unexpected phone call shatters that peace, forcing her to return to the place she swore she'd never set foot in again. To inherit her grandparents' estate, Masie must meet one painful condition set by her dying mother: she must renovate the town's most luxurious hotel. The catch? The hotel belongs to Noah Kingsley - the boy whose proposal she rejected. Noah, the man who once broke her heart, now stands before her, determined to make amends. Old wounds reopen, and long-buried truths surface. As memories collide with the present, Masie must decide if the love that once destroyed her is worth risking her heart again - or if it's finally time to let go. And Noah? He's determined to prove his love. This time, he won't let her go. A story of heartbreak, redemption, and second chances, Seven Years to Regret is a deeply emotional romance about finding the courage to face the past, the strength to love yourself, and the belief in a future worth fighting for.

How can you be an orphan when your mother still pays for you? This is the painful question sixteen-year-old Vanya asks herself every day. Her mother's monthly visits to the orphanage aren't fueled by love, but by cold, crisp cash, a payment to keep Vanya a secret. Her father's existence is defined by his absolute rejection. Vanya is the childhood that never got to bloom..*The Lost Spring*. But Vanya's greatest pain is also her biggest secret. Her mother's first marriage yielded three handsome, powerful, and successful adult sons which are Vanya's *half-brothers*.

When a chance encounter shatters the rigid boundary between Vanya's world and theirs, the family's sixteen-year lie begins to crumble. The truth will tear their privileged world apart. But for Vanya, is exposing the secret worth the risk of losing the only family she's ever truly yearned for?

She was the girl everyone whispered about - the *impure one*, the *bad omen*, the *unmarried mother*. For years, she carried her shame in silence, protecting her child and enduring the cruel stares of a world that never cared to know her truth. Until the day fate played its cruelest card. When her sister suddenly disappeared hours before her wedding, she was forced to take her place - veiled, trembling, and bound to a man she barely knew. But destiny had already written a darker twist... Because the groom - the man standing at the altar - was the very one who had unknowingly fathered her child. Two souls bound by a past they can't remember, a present they can't escape, and a truth powerful enough to shatter everything they believe in. In a world quick to judge and slow to forgive, can love rise from the ashes of betrayal and fate?

At 31, Nandi Mkhize is running on fumes. ​She's drowning in debt, working a dead-end job, and watching her friends surge past her toward success and marriage. After an evening spent wrestling with despair, Nandi's frustration boils over onto a language app, where she unleashes an isiZulu curse at a cocky, handsome stranger. ​That stranger is Hanuel. He's sharp, arrogant, and definitely Korean, even though he's pretending to teach Japanese. Their first conversation is a volatile, insult-fueled mess that should have ended with a blocked account. Instead, it ends with a proposition. ​Hanuel has done his research. He knows Nandi is outspoken, beautiful, and boasts 90K followers. He sees her not as a woman, but as a trending hashtag. ​His pitch is simple: A fake relationship for YouTube and TikTok. "A whole Korean dating a whole African. It's rare. People would eat it up." The prize? Life-changing money for Nandi, and a viral career for Hanuel. ​For Nandi, this deal means selling her soul and cultural identity to a man who saw her only as an investment. But with R6,500 a month barely keeping her afloat, she is desperate enough to sign a contract with the devil. ​Now, their soft launch is a high-stakes, globally-watched performance. As the lines blur between their hate-filled banter and undeniable chemistry, Nandi must figure out how to maintain the lie without losing her heart, her pride, and everything she thinks she knows about who she is.
