Layla has had a one-sided, secret 'love affair' with her brother's long-standing best friend, Riaan. It started at age 16 and she has never quite gotten over it. 

Now, 23 and an independent university student, she finds her path crossing with that of Riaan's once more as he travels back to his home country of South Africa, after a seven year stint in London. 

There is an immediate attraction between the two, but the odds are against them. 

For starters, Riaan is 10 years older and engaged to be married. Then there's Layla's brother to consider who isn't going to be too pleased with the development of a love affair between his sister and best friend. 

To make matters more complicated, there's also the vast cultural and social differences between the two that cannot be ignored. 

Will their attraction to each other be enough to overcome the odds?

...And, it doesn't quite help that Riaan has a past he isn't too proud about sharing with the young and innocent Layla.

Beautiful disaster (completed) by wild_cat4

"I can consider your request," he finally replied, causing her face to light up with hope. The weight of her desperation seemed to lift momentarily, replaced by a glimmer of possibility. But then, Kabir paused, making her heart sink. "On one condition," he added, his voice low and serious. The room suddenly felt suffocating, as if the air had been sucked out, leaving only tension and uncertainty. "Finish what we started the other day." His words hung in the air, heavy with unspoken desires and unfinished business. Kiara furrowed her brows, confusion evident on her face. "What do you mean?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly. Her mind raced, desperately trying to piece together the fragments of their shared history. Kabir leaned in closer, whispering into her ear. "Spend the night here," he said, his words sending a shockwave through her body. Her eyes widened in disbelief, unable to digest what she was hearing. The room seemed to spin, blurring the boundaries between reality and fantasy. She had never expected this twist in their complicated relationship. Then she remembered a few months ago, during a moment of vulnerability, they had shared a passionate kiss. It had been a fleeting moment, a stolen connection that had left her breathless and yearning for more. She had come to Kabir to mend things between him and her best friend, Maya, but now he was suggesting something completely unexpected. Her mind raced, torn between the fear of crossing boundaries and the intoxicating allure of the unknown. Should she give in to her desires, risking everything she held dear? Or should she walk away, preserving the fragile equilibrium of their lives? story will updated every week

In the corridors of a bustling school, six lives intertwine-each carrying secrets, dreams, and scars they never dared to share. Meera, bold yet broken. Saransh, the silent protector. Nisha, soft-hearted but guarded. Dhruv, the joker hiding silent tears. Seema and Rishabh, the chaos wrapped in laughter and love. What starts as innocent classroom banter soon blossoms into deep friendships, unspoken crushes, heartbreaks, and the kind of love that lingers even in silence. As the group journeys from teenage pranks to grown-up dilemmas, they face the brutal beauty of life-unexpected confessions, misunderstandings that sting, sacrifices that go unnoticed, and a ticking clock none of them are prepared for. But life doesn't wait. And sometimes, love comes at the cost of time, truth, or even one's own heartbeat. Will these friends hold on to each other when everything starts falling apart?
