23-year-old Celai (sa-lay) LaCroix should have died in a horrible accident, but instead, she wakes up beside the man who is responsible for her making it to the hospital, Julian Westbrook. God had put him there to be her knight-in-shining-armor, however, the "hero syndrome" doesn't seem to wear off. 

Surprisingly, it wasn't the first time the two met. Celai was a frequent attender of Disciples of Truth Church, while Julian was the pastor-in-training. 

It may seem like a coincidence, like the world was just small, but in fact, it was the Lord putting them together. Now, it was up to them to realize, sit back, and watch God unfold His blessings for them.

However, Celai has her mind in the future and her hero has his in the past. Neither being in the present is sure to provoke a mountain of issues.

Meeting You Again by Liki5790
42 parts Ongoing
Tariq continued gazing at her, observing how she looked when she woke up. Her hair was slightly tousled behind her back, and he felt an itch inside to rub her head and mess up her hair even more. Her clothing was slightly messy, and it was riding up stomach, while her cheeks were colored with a faint pink tint. Her brown eyes were wide, staring at him in shock. He really wanted to laugh right now...how can someone look so cute? Alas, Tariq knew if he started laughing now maybe all the progress he made with Ayla would fly out the window due to him embarrassing her too much. He held his laughter in and sat up with a force, bringing his face close to Ayla's suddenly. "I fell asleep. Why, are you the only one allowed to sleep while watching a show?" He took the time while speaking to fix Ayla's clothes, ruffle her hair, and immediately stood up to go to the restroom. If he stayed there any longer, staring at Ayla's bunny-like expressions, he didn't think he could handle it anymore. He was all ready to be a big bad wolf. ------------------------------------ In a chance meeting at a cafe, Ayla and Tariq's love story begins, sparked by a blind date arranged by their elders. Gradually, they fall in love and are ready to leave their painful pasts behind, but shocking discoveries disrupt their happiness.

Now, they must rewrite their destiny while dealing with these interruptions. Can they break free from their villainous roles, outwit the original characters, and secure the happy ending they both deserve? Join them in their journey filled with twists and turns as they strive to reclaim their love. You surely won't be disappointed!

She was in pain, but he was in so much more pain just knowing that he was the reason she's this hurt. "You said you loved me...I said I loved you back...wha-what happened to that?" He wanted to hold her so bad, kiss all her pain away, but he had to leave and the sad part was that she doesn't even know he's doing all this for her. "Did it mean nothing to you?" You hear that?

Like every other Muslimah her age, Syeda Anaabiya Ahmed dreamed of a love that would heal her scars-a love that would cherish and protect her. As an orphan, she had spent her life fighting battles no child should face-struggling for survival, for a home, and, most painfully, for the love even her own younger sister denied her. Her last hope rested on marriage-the man destined to be her partner, her guide, the one who would help her grow into a better Muslimah. But that dream shattered the moment she was forced to marry Syed Humza Junaid-a man she loathed, a man as ruthless as the dark empire he ruled, a man who saw love as nothing more than a weakness. Defiant and unyielding, Anaabiya refuses to be another pawn in Humza's world of power and crime. She challenges him at every turn, determined not to bow to his arrogance and cruelty. But just when she thinks she has him figured out, the cracks in his armor begin to show-a man tormented by his demons, a man who, against all odds, might just be capable of love. As their world spirals into chaos, hatred begins to blur into something far more dangerous. Love. Obsession. Destruction. Will Anaabiya tame the monster within him, or will she lose herself in the fire that is Syed Humza Junaid? Join Anaabiya on a journey where love and ruin walk hand in hand-where the heart's deepest desires clash with fate's cruelest twists.
