UNTIL THE INK DRIES by taylermadestories

In a society bound by tradition, Nneka's life has always been guided by rules. As the first-born daughter in her Nigerian-Jamaican family, she faces mounting pressure to marry before her younger siblings can even consider their own futures. Time is ticking, and her family's whispers are growing louder. Meanwhile, Kemar, a successful but commitment-shy bachelor, is tired of the constant matchmaking from his own family. They both long for the freedom to live on their own terms. When a contract marriage is proposed, it seems like the perfect solution. They agree to a year-long arrangement to keep their families at bay. Nneka can silence the pressure, and Kemar can have the peace to focus on his career. No romance, no strings attached-just a practical agreement. But as they navigate family dinners, cultural expectations, and the small, quiet moments of living together, the lines between duty and desire begin to blur. In a world where tradition and modernity clash, can a love born out of a contract grow into something real? Or will they part ways once the ink dries on their agreement?

Peeling Back the Top Layer 🇯🇲 by 876StoryTeller

At age 30, publications editor Kelsie Taylor is slowly losing hope in finding her fairytale romance. The stories of the women around her who experience abuse and heartbreak along with her own experiences have made her cautious about entering a relationship. Her dream of finding forever love as a young adult is yet to actualize because none of the suitors she encountered so far have made a striking first impression. "I know that with Jamaican men I might have to kiss a few frogs before I find a prince but right now mi feel like a only frog deh here. Most of dem nuh worth more than a hi," she says to a man she only had brief, casual interactions over the past few weeks. He chuckles at her disclosure. "Yuh mean yuh just nuh kiss di right frog yet. And why yuh feel like yuh need a prince or a knight? You are no damsel in distress. You don't need saving." She shrugs at his observation, not sure how to respond. "You just need to get out of your way. I can bet you have written off men with a lot of potential with just one glance. But people are multilayered. You have to peel back the surface to get a better look at what's underneath before writing off a person," he adds. His advice might be just what she needs to guide her past the hurt she's witnessed and take the leap of faith to find true love. ⚠️Trigger warning: This story contains acts of violence and sexual abuse.

Two girls that are from two different walks of life end up crossing paths. They end up teaching and learning from each other. One sweet and outgoing and the other is the complete opposite but opposites may just attract. Their story is one of understanding and change. This story is mostly for the queer community in Jamaica. There is not much representation on here for more reasons than one but queer individuals do live in Jamaica and they deserve to be represented just as much as the next person. Happy reading!!
