But even that starts slipping when her long-term rival, Trevor James Garcia, decides to end their silent competition and turn it into a full-blown war.

My full name is Zamantungwa Agnes Khumalo, don't mind my middle name, my dad's mother gave it to me before she passed I was told. Even if she was the sweetest grandmother in the area, the name though. Yoh guys! Lols One thing about me is that I am an accounting fanatic! To know about my background story, you have to read further... it was lovely meeting you. **** "MaKhumalo breathe please. Yes, just like that. Slowly does it", he kept rubbing my back in a soothing manner as he said this. We sat there while I tried to regain my senses, and him murmuring softly to me. The tears have seized now atleast. The tight grip he maintained with his other hand didn't go unnoticed. It was a reassurance-kind-of-grip, filled with care and concern. His heartbeat has gone back to normal now. Listening to it was slowly making me sleepy. "You can't sleep sitting on the floor like this, love. Come on let's go to bed", he tried making me get up but I shook my head slightly. He sighed, picked me up and carried me effortlessly to a bedroom. "Please don't leave me alone", I said with a dead grip on his hand. "But I'm just next door. Look I'll even leave the door open incase you need me. Uhm... you know what, let me get you some tea to help you sleep", he removed my hand with ease. "I'll be back just now, I promise MaKhumalo", he kissed my forehead before rushing out the door. I stayed alone for 5 seconds before I got up like I was stung, made my way to the room next to where I was. Took of my dress, got under the covers quickly, his scent filled my nose as I snuggled on his pillow. Before I knew it, it was lights out. What happened must have drained me more than I thought. #southafrican RANKINGS: [26.09.25 #3 convict] [10.07.25] #8 crazypeople [07.07.25] #2 convict [29.07.25] #1 convict

Nartica Ama Sam never planned on falling in love-especially not with a man like Damion Davies. She was supposed to keep her head down: Work. Study. Graduate. Leave love alone. But one wrong turn in a foreign city collides her quiet world with his: Damion-half Jamaican, half British, fully unreadable. Toxic, nonchalant, sweet in the most dangerous ways. It starts with a favor. Then a secret friendship. Then one night she can't undo. Soon, they're tangled in a web of passion, betrayal, and blurred lines-spiraling from strangers to lovers to something far worse. Marriage comes fast. Kids follow. But Damion's love comes with a price: Lies. Cheating. Manipulation. And a heartbreak she swore she'd never repeat. Still, she stays-longer than she should. Until she finally leaves... Only to fall into the arms of Jules Gustavo-a younger, wilder man who offers her something Damion never could: freedom. But freedom doesn't come easy in this world. And some love stories? They don't end. They only repeat. "I don't want phase one," Damion says, calm and cruel. "I want another ten years with you... maybe forever." In this raw, unflinching, painfully honest novel about love, betrayal, and impossible choices, Nartica must decide: Does she break the cycle... or surrender to it-one last time?

They met when love wasn't even a thought-just two people colliding in the middle of messy lives. What started as banter turned into long conversations, small glances turned into stolen moments, and somewhere between the chaos of shared rooms and shared silences, they fell-hard. It was imperfect, impulsive, intense. The kind of love that doesn't ask for permission. But what no one saw coming was the breaking point. Not all love stories are broken by infidelity or distance-sometimes, it's pain, trauma, unhealed wounds, and the inability to choose each other when it matters most. So, they shattered. Loudly. Brutally. Beautifully. Time passed. Hearts stayed heavy. But fate, cruel and kind, pulled them back together-this time in unfamiliar places, with familiar feelings and the same storm between them. Now, it's no longer about falling in love. It's about choosing to stay, choosing to heal, and learning to hold each other in the fire rather than run from it. And maybe... just maybe... home isn't a place. It's a person.

CANNOT BE READ AS A STANDALONE Anvaya and Nirav were childhood sweethearts. But it's been ten years-ten whole years-since they even exchanged a word. Now, as fate decides to mess with them one more time, it brings them face-to-face again... and ties them together in an arranged marriage. Will they be able to give themselves a second chance? Was their childhood love just a phase, something they outgrew... or was it something deeper? Did they truly move on in all these years, or was it just an illusion they kept feeding themselves? There's emotional history between Nirav and Anvaya that's crucial to understanding why they act the way they do now. Without knowing what happened in "Is It Just a Phase?" - the ghosting, the teenage heartbreak, the little moments - new readers might not feel the intensity between them as strongly.

"Some fires never go out. They just learn to glow quietly."

Eleanor Ashbourne only wanted to come home. But when she returns to Mystic Falls-just in time for Miss Mystic Falls-nothing feels the same. Caroline is drowning under expectations, Bonnie is grieving, Elena is cracking under the pressure of her own secrets... and the Salvatores stare at Eleanor like she's a ghost from a life she doesn't remember.

THE PAST I LOVED A single misunderstanding fractured what could have been a beautiful beginning. Regret reshaped a boy's heart into something quieter, deeper, and irrevocably sincere.

This is a tale of unfinished emotions, deferred confessions, and the haunting tenderness of a love paused too early. A story where silence becomes destiny... and a once-lost connection seeks the courage to breathe again.

When fate traps them in the same café, the same school play, and the same family dinner, everything blurs. Enemies. Almost siblings. Almost lovers. One viral photo. One forbidden kiss. One mistake they can't take back. Some lines aren't crossed. Until they are.

"In a world ruled by blood, love was their only rebellion." "Hindi lahat ng 'forever' natatapos sa altar. Minsan, nagsisimula ulit sa pagkikita." Sa mundong puno ng lihim, kapangyarihan, at dugo, isang kasunduan ang naglatag ng kanilang tadhana. Si Celestine "Celine" Amara Dela Vega, anak ng isang makapangyarihang rival mafia family, ay napilitang pakasalan si Luca Adrien Moretti, isang lalaking kilala sa kanyang kalupitan at tahimik na pananalakay sa mundo ng mafia. Ang kanilang kasal ay hindi bunga ng pagmamahal kundi ng obligasyon, kapangyarihan, at pangakong magpapatigil sa alitan ng kanilang mga pamilya. Sa umpisa, lamig at galit ang namayani sa kanilang pagsasama. Walang halakhak, walang lambing - tanging kasunduan at katahimikan lamang. Ngunit sa gitna ng takot at galit, may mga damdaming unti-unting sumibol - damdaming pareho nilang pilit itinanggi. Isang lihim ang kanilang dala: isang anak na itinago sa mundo, si Valerie Zryne Moretti, ang batang bunga ng kanilang pagmamahalan bago pa man maghiwalay. Siya ang tanging koneksyon sa pagitan ng dalawang pusong nasaktan, ngunit hindi nila alam kung paano haharapin ang damdaming bumabalik sa kanila. Paglipas ng limang taon, muling nagtagpo ang kanilang landas - hindi bilang mag-asawa, kundi bilang dalawang taong nasaktan at nagbago. Si Celine, ngayon isang matagumpay at matatag na babae, ay nagtatago ng kanyang anak at ng lihim na minahal niya noon. Si Luca, lalaking noon ay masungit at mapang-api, ay nakaharap siya muli bilang isa nang mas malakas at mas mapanganib na pinuno ng kanyang imperyo. Sa mundong puno ng panganib, pagtataksil, at lihim, isang tanong ang mananatiling bumabagabag sa kanilang mga puso: Puwede pa bang bumalik ang pag-ibig na minsang nawasak?

Blinded by love and the comfort of familiarity, they chose to overlook the mistakes and misunderstandings that once lingered in their past. But time has a way of unearthing what was left unresolved. ｡ﾟ•┈꒰ა ♡ ໒꒱┈• ｡ﾟ Maureen Kaye Alonzo Kaiszer Medina Mula sa isang epic na meet-cute, pagiging mortal na magkaaway, mga nakaw na sulyap, at lumipas na sandali, hanggang sa magkamabutihan, at sabihing "in a relationship" na nang walang eksaktong petsa. Tipikal. Tipikal na storya. Tipikal na pag-ibig. Tipikal na romansa. Tipikal?
