Aya is in the last phase of obtaining her bachelor's degree. She decides to travel to Rwanda, the Heart of Africa, to conduct her research. Without expectations, she embarks on the journey of a lifetime and finds herself in a whirlwind of encountering poverty, excessive drinking, toxic people, but also the most wonderful landscapes and local people that teach her about their culture.
At some point, everything seems to be going well for Aya. She finishes her assignments on time, meets new friends, volunteers at a local elementary school and learns more about the land of a thousand hills.
Except, her taste in guys has never been the best. She isn't sure why every time she meets someone, everything seems to be going well, until the guy pulls a stunt and Aya enters a cycle of doubting herself and pondering over how thinks could've gotten better if only she just...
That is until she meets Amir on a Wednesday night at a new local bar. She isn't sure whether it's his bright green eyes, the fact that he's light skin, his laid back 90's style or all of it together, but she is determined to have him. Her roommate Bernadette introduces them and at first, nothing happens.
Until Friday arrives and they meet again. Aya wasn't prepared for the storm that was about to come. She never intended to fall in love, especially with a muslim. Because it could never work as she is Christian... Or, could it?

Uncharted Love
She came to Seoul for a conference. She never expected to leave with a secret worth risking everything for. ‧˚₊‧ ┈┈┈ ⟡ ┈┈┈ ‧₊˚⊹‧˚₊‧ ┈┈┈ ⟡ ┈┈┈ ‧₊˚⊹ Brianna expected Seoul to be another stop in her academic career-not the place that would change her life. But when an accidental encounter with Kang-Min, one of Asia's most sought-after pop stars, sparks an undeniable connection, everything changes. Their chemistry is electric, but their worlds couldn't be more different. As their secret connection deepens, Brianna and Kang-Min are forced to confront cultural divides, the strain of long-distance, and the ever-present threat of public exposure. In a world where love can become a career-ending scandal, can they keep their relationship hidden long enough to discover what they truly want-or will loving each other demand more than either is prepared to give? **Note:** This was the first story I ever posted on Wattpad. At the time, I simply wanted to get the story out of my head and into the world. Because of that, it hasn't gone through the same level of editing as my newer stories. One day, I do plan to revisit and refresh it, but for now, I'm leaving it as a reminder of where my writing journey started.

The Hookup Protocol
She's the one woman he can't forget. He's the mistake she's determined not to repeat. When Charlotte Ramirez walks away from a one-night stand with Noah Zhang, she never expects to see him again. But avoiding the heir to the most powerful Triad in the United States proves easier said than done. As a ruthless businessman, infamous playboy, and future mob boss, Noah is used to getting everything he wants. Unfortunately for him, the only thing he wants is Charlotte-the sharp-tongued socialite who refuses to give him a second chance. Charlotte has spent years perfecting her rules: never get attached, never be vulnerable, and never fall in love. Noah already convinced her to break those rules once. She has no intention of letting it happen again. But when circumstances force them back into each other's orbit, old chemistry quickly reignites. And with enemies closing in and dangerous family expectations threatening to tear them apart, resisting Noah becomes harder than ever. Will Charlotte risk her heart for a man she knows she shouldn't trust? Or will their second chance end before it ever truly begins?Hoàn thành

Forbidden Attraction (Book 1)✔
♠VOL 1: Book I in the FORBIDDEN series♠ ♤♠ "I don't date," I told him with a smile. "Why not?" He was smiling back as if what I was saying was the most interesting thing ever. I honestly don't know why we're talking about this. I shook my head. "Because I'm not allowed maybe?" I shrugged. "I don't have time for that anyway." I started writing again. "Well that's something you don't hear every day," he teased and I shook my head again, suppressing a smile. ♠♤ She's seen him around plenty of times. He never sees her. Then on the first day of a new school year, there's a run-in, a very short exchange of pleasantries, and on top of that, a class that's grouped by twos. Maybe some things were meant to be. For a while.Hoàn thành

Soft
Amara Alonso is 22 years old and is in her final year studying English literature at NYU. She's smart, kind and gentle, she always has been. But she carries a quiet sadness that most don't see. After losing her mother and sister in a tragic car accident 8 months ago, she was left with an alcoholic father who she blames for their death. She promises herself to push through her last year of college but soon falls into a cycle- skipping classes, tear-stained eyes, and an empty stomach. Emilia Zayed is a 29 year old creative writing professor. Emilia is poised, intelligent and emotionally guarded. She keeps everyone at arm's length- students, colleges, friends, and especially family. She doesn't trust people and shows no intention to. She shows no interest in anybody around her, until a soft brown eyed girl enters her lecture with a look of hurt deep in her eyes that she can't seem to stop thinking about. Emilia notices Amara's writing first. There's something about her work-so raw, so aching, so lonely. It touches something in Emilia she thought she'd buried. Never has a student's piece of writing made her feel this way. They shouldn't get close. They can't get close. But they do. And it's slow, quiet, and deeply emotional. It's Amara showing up during Emilia's office hours not just to talk about writing but about life. It's Emilia realising Amara needs more than feedback-she needs someone who sees her. And it's Amara finally finding someone who doesn't leave. The two form an unspoken bond they can't explain. It's forbidden in the eyes of everybody else. But they can't help but feel softer around each other. Will they ever act on it? Will Amara's hurt or Emilia's closed offness prevent them from ever truly opening up and giving in?Hoàn thành
