Alphahero Stories

She fell in love with one man... but what if there were always two? Annabelle Morgan has spent her life chasing sunsets instead of people. A travel photographer with a restless soul, she believes every destination has a story-and every goodbye is temporary. Then she meets Kim Taehyung. He is magnetic, impossibly attentive, and strangely addicted to being close to her. A hand resting on the small of her back, a forehead kiss before every flight, silent hugs after nightmares-his love language is touch. Around him, Annabelle finally feels like she's found home. Until everything changes. Some days he becomes distant, cold, and almost cruel. His embraces disappear. His voice hardens. He acts as though he barely knows her. When she confronts him, he insists nothing is wrong. The inconsistency slowly destroys her. Then impossible clues begin to surface. Two watches. Two signatures. Two different scars. She starts wondering if the man she loves is lying... ...or if she's losing her mind. What Annabelle doesn't know is that the Kim family has buried its darkest secret for decades. Taehyung has an identical twin. A twin known only as Kim V. One brother fell in love with her. The other has his own reasons for stepping into his brother's life. Even Annabelle didn't discover which man has been beside her until the end-where one betrayal changes everything she believed about love. A love story filled with aching tenderness, dangerous secrets, heartbreaking misunderstandings, and a twist that makes everything mean something different.

"You have twenty-four hours, Adhira. Put on the bridal lehenga, or I will drag you to the altar myself." "No... please, Atharv. I don't want to marry you. Just let me go..." "You think you can just walk away, Adhira? After rewriting my entire dark world with your light, you think I'll let you run?" "Please, Atharv... we can't be together anymore. The girl you fell for... she doesn't exist. I am not the same person." "Then I will make you mine all over again. But you are marrying me. Today. And that is not a request." Sometimes love isn't about letting go... it's about holding on when the whole world tells you to give up. Will Adhira accept the marriage... or will destiny force them to face everything they never wanted to?

------------------ Her POV'S ----------------------- I looked at him through tear-filled eyes as my baby boy cried loudly in my lap. I was sitting on the bed while he remained occupied with his laptop. He sat directly opposite me on a chair placed in the corner of the room. "Ise chup karao," he shouted, making me flinch. "W-Woh chup nahi ho raha," I stammered, gently rocking the baby in my arms. "Toh chup karao!" he yelled again as he grabbed his laptop. With a sharp movement, he pulled open the door and stormed out of the room. My eyes remained fixed on the door. Despite everything, a small part of me hoped he would return and ask why our son was crying so much. But he didn't. Swallowing the lump in my throat, I pulled my baby closer and covered him with my pallu. Then I began feeding him. Gradually, his cries faded away. His tiny stomach filled with milk, and his heavy, uneven breaths slowly settled into a peaceful rhythm. Looking down at his innocent face, I gently wiped away the tears lingering in my eyes.. #TraumaAndHeal #RealAndReel #LoveAndHate #PureAndImpure #ManAndWoman #HunterAndPrey ------------------------------------------------------
