Always My Forever
When Zara first walked into the Bluebird Diner, she wasn't looking for love. She was just another young woman trying to find her place in the world-balancing her art, her music, and her longing for something more. Then she met Jude, a man carrying his own burdens but also raising his beautiful two-year-old daughter, Megan. What began as friendship soon turned into something undeniable, something worth fighting for. Their love story unfolds in a whirlwind-messy, passionate, imperfect, but real. From quiet nights together in her studio apartment to moving into their first home, from small arguments that tested their patience to the kind of forgiveness that only deep love allows, Zara and Jude learn what it means to choose each other every single day. But life doesn't slow down. Jude slips a ring on Zara's finger, and almost as quickly, they discover they're expecting a child of their own. As Zara's music begins to gain attention, fame pushes her into the spotlight, pulling their family into a world neither of them expected. The highs are intoxicating-performances, television appearances, and a wedding that binds their souls together forever-but the lows threaten to break them, testing the strength of their bond. Through it all-fear, joy, doubt, and devotion-Zara and Jude cling to one another. And when the moment comes to bring Phoebe-Jade into the world, everything they've endured makes sense. Every argument, every kiss, every tear, every laugh-it all leads here: to family, to forgiveness, to forever. This is a story of love in all its forms-messy, fragile, passionate, and healing.

Wounded Heart ✔
She loved him with devotion so fierce it scorched every heartbeat, every glance. He was her obsession, her reason to breathe, and her undoing. But while her world revolved around him, he remained distant-a presence, never hers. "How do you let go of someone who is the air in your lungs and the ache in your heart?" "He is my breath, and I will forget him when I forget to breathe." Memories burned bright and untouchable-hers alone. She clung to each haunted fragment, every echo of forbidden love. Until fate, honouring a promise to Aashi, forced her into the arms of the man whose heart was a graveyard. "I married you to fulfil her last wish. You will never belong here." His words cut deep-cold, calculated, meant to wound. Cruelty hid his storm. Her silence was her weapon, her pain a fortress. "You think you know pain?" she spat, her eyes blazing. "I live it every day." He turned away, fists clenched. "You don't belong. This will never be your home." Yet, in their grief and fury, sparks flew, igniting something dangerous. "Love and hate are two sides of the same burning coin." When apologies come too late, and regret drowns truth, love risks turning to ash. She walks away, her heart in ruins. He falls, shattered-vowing to bleed, to burn, to reignite the fire in her eyes. "Some hearts are forged in fire. Some burn to ashes." Even if it destroys him. 📅 Start Date: 28th October 2019 ⏳ End Date: 23rd October 2020 ✏️ Edited Date: 2026Complete
