When life's going gets tough, always remember the road that leads home. We all need someone to lean on. Family isn't always defined by blood, it's defined by loyalty, faithfulness and trust. Too many of us hasten off, wanting to be on our own because we have been betrayed. Too quickly we burn bridges, but what if we fixed em? What if we stayed? What if we made things right? You miss them don't you? Your Dad, your mum, uncle and aunt. Siblings, cousins; the name is yours to define. This book aims to give back what's lost, and help us become whole, united and unbreakable. To look beyond rage and fury, and see that humanity isn't perfect. Things are messed up but we can all have "One Big Happy Family."

It was an alliance to prove loyalty and friendship between two families yet, not an arrangement. Feelings and bonds were shared but mixed feelings never left their hearts.

The two men encountered in this arrangement, Ishan and Shubman bump into one another's life. While Ishan wants to take a chance with the marriage, he finds Shubman hostile at first. But then he gets to know the truth about Shubman still being in love with his long term girlfriend. Stick with me to decipher what all they go through in their lives, what lessons will be learnt and what kind of feelings stir their respective lives into an interesting journey. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ • This story is for fun and delulu readers.

Some people enter your life quietly, just a glance, a moment... a collision. And suddenly, nothing feels certain anymore. Solanna Elira Romero chooses to live her life warmly, brightly, and everywhere at once. She is a people person, the kind of girl who carries everyone else's burdens like it's second nature. For her, if she can make things better, she will. No questions asked, no matter the cost. Kairus Amadeo Alarcon has always known who he is: confident, composed, certain. A med student with a future already mapped out, precise and untouchable. Someone who understands himself enough not to question the things that have long been clear. After all, feelings are easier when they come with certainty. So what happens when something unfamiliar begins to grow... in a place where it was never supposed to exist? She was never meant to matter, and he was never meant to hesitate. But in her light, he begins to lose every certainty he has ever known.

What begins as friendship slowly blossoms into something deeper. But love isn't always enough. As jealousy, judgment, and the gap between their worlds threaten to pull them apart, a devastating secret comes to light-one powerful enough to destroy everything they've built together. Now Jeremeiah must decide whether to protect her heart or fight for the one person who has made her believe she deserves happiness. Because sometimes the most beautiful love stories aren't perfect.

Violet Potter has always been an unusual girl. Orphaned when she was only a year old and separated from her twin brother, Violet Potter was brought up by her very protective witch godmother and her non-magic parents in a small town known as Nettleship Moors, and no one would ever speak to Violet before about her past or what really happened to her real family. But when Violet turns eleven, everything is about to change. Violet Potter is herself a witch, and a famous one as well, known among all wizardkind as The Girl Who Lived. Her first great adventure is about to begin. Disclaimer: This is a reimagining of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone which is based on characters from the Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling. I only own any characters that I created solely for the Violet Potter series.

💡 Original idea. Funny. Satirical. Sometimes it makes you laugh out loud, sometimes it makes you cry. This is an English translation from my own novel: Mari Kita Bully Demi Kebaikan. While bullying is usually cruel, this novel asks the reverse question: can bullying be a moral cure? Imagine a bizarre national movement called "Social Gaze"-just by staring together, people can make rule-breakers tremble. It starts out hilarious, but slowly turns terrifying: slander spreads, innocent people die, and even honest figures are framed. And out of all that chaos comes a single question... 👉 "Revenge, or forgiveness?" 📖 A satirical story about virality, dirty politics, and who truly deserves a place in heaven.

Was it the right choice.. to exist? Will He regret it? or Will He be grateful? But if He didn't exist, He wouldn't even know what 'choice' is.. He wouldn't feel regret nor knowing the feeling of gratefulness.. there wouldn't be Him either.. Did He choose existence? Or Did existence choose Him? Why does He know things He should not? Why do some people see nothing reflected in His eyes? Found by a small church on a stormy night, the nameless boy begins His journey through a world of kingdoms, faith, myth, and hidden mystery while searching for the truth of His own existence. Because buried beneath His human form lies a mystery older than memory itself. And the deeper He searches for who He was... the more terrifying the answer becomes.. After all.. the greatest question is not who He was. It is what He is.

What starts as an impossible opportunity quickly becomes something neither of them can explain, or even walk away from. But with enemies closing in from every direction, the real question isn't whether they belong together. It's whether they'll survive long enough to find out.
