Alessia had rules. She didn't do drama, didn't take nonsense from any man. Until him. For Cassian, she broke every one. A cliché, impossible mother in law? She handled it. Missed dinners because of work? She served herself double and waited anyway. Too tired to spend time together? She embraced the quiet hours alone. She forgot her limits, abandoned her rules. All for him. Until her. The one rule she couldn't break, the limit she couldn't cross. She saw him with her. Broken, she left and whispered a wish she never thought would come true: that she had never met him. The wish was granted. Alessia woke up and didn't remember him. But now Cassian is the one waiting. Running against time to be near her. Chasing every moment, following every rule, just so she might remember him again. And if she can't... Can he remember it all for both of them? © IcecreamSundae5.

But little did he know, their ends had already been written-in the same ink destiny once used to script her suffering. Their fates would burn, just as they had broken her. But not in his hands. Then who?

Adrian Calloway is precision, cold logic, and walls you don't break through. Ella Torres is chaos in color - wild curls, sharp wit, and a gaze that sees too much. In a world where both are defined by the names they carry, neither expected a stranger to feel like gravity. Adrian hides behind chemical equations, carving his own path away from a family of empire builders. Ella drowns in color to avoid becoming a shadow of the artists who came before her. Then, one autumn afternoon in a quiet café, Ella walked in, searching for caffeine - and found Adrian. She didn't know why she crossed the room. And for the first time in years, he didn't know why he looked up. Maybe some collisions are inevitable.

It started off small but it had only grown in the weeks he'd been here. We'd fed it unintentionally, and it had gone from an ember to a crackling flame. Every nerve in my body wanted to reach out and touch it, even though I knew I'd get burned. *************************************************** Pia Callahan always lived a carefree life with no worries.

"What is your favourite colour?" Esha asked, her fingers grazing her husband's jaw as she leaned back lazily against him on their couch. "Green," he said in a blink, thinking about her in green. It was sight to watch his wife in green, their first meet was still vivid in his memories. She'd worn a beautiful green anarkali, and a pair of cream jhumkas.

"And you are mine, sweetheart."
