Slowbun Stories

For Zehra Abigail Cruz, life has never been fair. Living under the same roof as her abusive stepmother while desperately trying to care for her sick little brother, Zehra is willing to do anything to keep him alive. Every day is a battle between survival and hope, and she's slowly running out of both. Then an unexpected offer changes everything. Elion Rozzenn Alistair, the cold and influential heir of the Alistair family, needs a favor-one that requires Zehra to play a role in his life for just one month. In exchange, he offers enough money to cover her brother's medical expenses. One month. Thirty days. A simple agreement with clear rules: 1. No falling in love. 2. No asking personal questions. 3. No breaking the contract. It should have been easy. But as the days pass, the line between pretense and reality begins to blur. Hidden wounds are revealed, walls start to crumble, and feelings neither of them expected slowly take root. When the month comes to an end, Zehra and Elion are faced with a painful question: What happens when the contract expires, but your heart refuses to let go?

One jump changed everything. A quiet rooftop. A wrong terrace. A night that was supposed to end... but didn't. Now Zoya is running from people she doesn't know, protecting secrets she doesn't understand, and trusting a stranger she never meant to meet. Some mistakes can be forgotten. This one started a war.
