The world was full of trouble. Full of confusion and a catastrophic dilemma. One couldn't imagine at what destructive measure it would disintegrate into. While so many things were done to make the world a better place. At some point, it would later be revealed that the biggest problem was not a lack of educational facilities or a lack of health facilities. Believe it or not, Africa, also wasn't the world's biggest problem. The problem with the world today is sin. Sin brought about problems that would perpetuate into many more generations to come! It's almost unbelievable that someone would leave greener pastures to settle in a beat-down environment like Earth. One would wonder what this being could ever want. If life existed beyond the surfaces of our universe, why stay? If there was the possibility of walking with a glory that outshined the brightness of the sun, why hesitate? God cannot love us anymore than He loves our neighbor. His love tank is so vast that it accommodates everyone. Had He only sent Jesus Christ to the rich or the poor in African households, His love would then be conditioned to those that qualified. What makes His love so unique and strange is that He loves the broken and the sinners. He loves those of us that are unlikeable and unattractive. He persuaded His only son to die gruesomely to have all of mankind at His bosom. In the movies, opening doors and buying a bouquet of flowers is symbolic of love. In families, love is expressed in many different kind of forms. Even animals have ways in which they show affection. While all of that might stand out. It cannot be compared to the love of God. God can feel love, and He is love!Complete
Arranged by DESTINY~~
AARUSHI's POV: Panic grips my heart as the villagers close in, insisting that I am now bound to a life I never chose. Their faces, painted with fervor, become a blur as I try to gather my thoughts. "No, I can't marry him," I protest, my voice trembling. I glance around for support, feeling the isolation of the moment. Just as despair threatens to consume me, I catch a glimpse of Him. REYANSH's POV: I see the fear in her eyes, and it ignites a protective instinct within me. I can't let her face this alone. "She's already married," I declare, surprising her. The crowd murmurs, doubt clouding their faces. But I press on, "To me." The weight of my words hangs heavy in the air. I feel the pressure of their scrutiny, but I know I must stand firm for her sake. This isn't just about tradition; it's about saving her from a life she does not want. ............................................................................... AARUSHI's POV: I'm torn between gratitude, disbelief and grief. How did I find myself in this situation? His calm demeanor eases my anxiety, yet I can't shake the fear of what lies ahead. This isn't just a farce; it feels so real, and my heart races at the thought of becoming someone's wife, even if it's just for the moment. REYANSH's POV: I glance at her, seeing the flicker of hope amidst the confusion. I vow to protect her, no matter the outcome of this ceremony. What started as a chaotic twist of fate could turn into something beautiful. For the first time, I find myself wanting. Wanting a women, just to myself. BOTH's POV: Perhaps this union could be a new beginning, a chance for us to explore what lies beyond these unforeseen circumstances. .....................................................

Exile: The Book of Ever
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.Complete

A LOVE SONG UNSUNG
He was 23, and she was 18. They stood together in the registry office, ready to sign the papers that would officially make them husband and wife. It was a secret marriage-only his friend and his girlfriend knew about it. He signed first, then handed her the pen with a smile, but her heart raced as doubt and insecurity clouded her thoughts. Was this the right decision? What if his father found out about the marriage? Would his family accept an orphan and a maid like her as a daughter-in-law? What if, after fulfilling his desires, he grew tired of her and abandoned her? She had no one to stand up for her, no one to turn to if things went wrong. Was it true love, or was he simply lusting after her? Why would a billionaire's son want her? He could have anyone-maybe even a movie star-but he chose her. Why? Despite her fears, her love for him was genuine. Slowly, she lifted her gaze to meet his, her insecurities weighing heavy on her heart. He took her hand in his, offering a gentle squeeze, then motioned for her to sign the papers. With a quiet nod, she did. His friends clapped and congratulated the couple, each one signing as a witness on the papers. Now, legally, they were husband and wife. But to the outside world, she was nothing more than a maid in his house.![[Full] AGGELOI, Book 4: "Uprising"(en.)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/387697337-256-k45334.jpg)
