[#1 ~ Ring Before Love]
"I'm pregnant," she announced, and the table fell silent. "With his child," she said, pointing towards him, who was happily drinking his juice. Hearing this, he spit the juice onto her brother's expensive suit and started coughing.
"Wha-" she kicked him under the table with her sharp heels before he could say anything.
"We really love each other, Mother," she said nervously, while he looked at her as if she had grown two horns.
"How can you be pregnant?" he whispered near her ear anxiously.
"Shut up and act along,"
"You should have told me you were going to do this," he whispered as she looked at him guiltily and was about to apologize when he said, "I would have loved to get you pregnant." He smirked, now almost kissing her ear. "You know method acting."
"Be quiet, let me get us out of this problem," she gritted her teeth.
"Your problem, not mine."
"Whatever."
"Very well then," her grandfather said, bringing the attention on him. "Then you both shall get married."
"WHAT?"

𝗞𝘆𝗿𝗮 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗵𝗶 a twenty-six-year-old on her way to become a cardiologist, the one who fixes others, has always been the person who spreads love despite her own heart having none. She has been broken by her own loved ones but never failed to cheer a heartbroken person. The universe never paid attention to her wishes, yet she never gave up on finding happiness. But what happens when her teenage crush reenters her life? Will he be able to end her sufferings, or will he increase them more?
𝗥𝘂𝗵𝗮𝗮𝗻 𝗠𝗲𝗵𝗿𝗮 has it all, at least according to him: a beautiful family, loving siblings, and girls running after him for his attention. He only wishes that everything remains the same as it is now, but will the universe fulfill this wish? Or will it bring a beautiful mess into his life, someone he never paid too much attention to?
"𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞?"
"𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞."
Nothing in life has come easily to Chase. He's had to work for everything he's gotten until she comes along and feels like the big break he's been waiting for all his life.
Lexi may have stumbled into his arms, but he's going to have to fight like hell to keep her there; to earn himself a spot in her life, in her heart.
But Chase knows that she's worth it, and he's no stranger to hard work.
Lexi wants to be free, and Greenville is the key to the platinum shackles keeping her from escaping the dollhouse of a home she grew up in.
Everything about her new home breathes color into her dull life, and she's not going to give it up for anything. She's going to make it on her own, and nobody is going to underestimate her this time. Lexi is built from materials much stronger than porcelain.
Her high hopes may finally be within reach, and she doesn't plan on letting anything or anyone distract her from her future, at least not for more than one night.
Apparently, Chase didn't get the memo.
