A wife who makes him laugh. A baby boy who carries his smile. He's finally found peace in the wreckage.

Your Destiny
After all that Isha had suffered, she found the strength to rebuild herself-layer by layer, scar by scar. She moved forward, forging a life that looked whole on the outside, even as the echoes of her past whispered through quiet moments. But some wounds don't fade easily... especially the ones carved by love. When fate throws Ryan back into her life, the collision is anything but gentle. She refuses to meet his eyes, refuses to acknowledge the storm he once stirred in her soul. She hates him-or so she tells herself. But beneath the anger simmers something far more dangerous: longing. No matter how hard she tries, no matter how far she runs, the magnetic pull between them refuses to break. Each encounter is a battle between memory and desire, resentment and an unspoken ache. Where will this relentless connection lead them? Into ruin... or redemption? Only time will decide how their tangled story unfolds.
