After losing her father in a tragic car accident, Malika lived with the prestigious Fernandes family, one of the wealthiest in the country. While Sara and Vivian treated her cold indifference, mr fernades and his son, Dylan treated her like one in their family. Dylan, with his charm and caring personality, quickly became the sweetest person she'd ever known. Malika developed a secret crush on him.
Destiny, however, had other plans. Malika crossed paths with Arlo Anderson, the enigmatic genius who captivated countless girls at school-including Vivian. To her surprise, he was the son of Mr. Fernandes' business rival, Willy Anderson. Unlike the approachable and humble Dylan, Arlo was distant and mysterious, guarding secrets no one could unravel. The only thing the world knew about him was that he was the sole heir to the largest tech company, Starlight Inc.
Malika's life took an unexpected turn when her math professor assigned Arlo to be her tutor. As their study sessions grew more frequent, an undeniable connection blossomed between them. Yet, Malika couldn't ignore the stark reality: as a poor orphan, she was worlds apart from Dylan and Arlo, making her feel unworthy of their affection.
Will Malika endure the challenges of her love story or surrender to her fate?

ESPRESSO
"Tell me to leave," he said, his voice a low, dangerous whisper that sent shivers cascading down my spine. My breath hitched as I met his piercing gaze, my heart racing in my chest. "And if I don't?" His lips curled into a slow, wicked smile, his eyes dark and consuming, laced with something that made my pulse quicken. He leaned closer, his voice dropping even further. "Then don't blame me for what happens next." "You're playing a very dangerous game, Leo," I managed to say, though my voice trembled as my eyes flicked to his lips. "Am I?" he murmured, his tone soft yet devastating. "Because from where I'm standing, you're the one pulling the strings." His smirk was ever-present, and the amusement dancing in his eyes told me he was thoroughly enjoying this-and it was dangerous for both of us. ~~~~ They were both hiding, but neither expected to be found. Calista Carlisle, Hollywood's sweetheart, escapes to the sleepy town of Mendocino after a public breakup turns her life into tabloid fodder. She's traded red carpets for creaky coffee shop chairs, hoping to stay invisible. But nothing stays quiet for long-not when Leo Donovan, the maddeningly smug owner of the café, keeps finding ways to break through her defenses. Leo isn't just any barista. Billionaire by birth, recluse by choice, he's traded boardrooms for espresso machines, running his late mother's café chain under the radar. He's done with the high-stakes world of fame and fortune-until Calista waltzes into his café and flips his carefully curated life upside down. Their connection is magnetic, but the secrets they're running from might pull them apart. In a town too small for pasts as messy as theirs, one thing becomes clear: they're either each other's safe haven-or their ultimate undoing. "They were supposed to be each other's escape-until they became each other's greatest temptation."

Fight or Flight
She saw through his walls. He feared she'd see too much. ... "Why did you come all this way just to see him?" He asks me with a low voice, hinting at his frustration. "I didn't," I reply in a hurry. "I came to see you," my words come out rushed, not having the time to review them before I speak. His frown weakens as his features soften in surprise. "I..." he hesitates, his eyes darting across the room and finally landing on mine. "You shouldn't have. I'm not worth coming all this way." "And what if I don't care?" I say without thinking. ... Ariana wasn't looking for anyone, and he was hoping no one would look for him. She is an ambitious girl who dedicates most of her time to her studies. The growing pressure around her, especially from her father, forces her to pay no attention to anything other than her grades. That is until she is drawn into the world of an ill-tempered man filled with secrets. Rough on the outside but kind on the inside, his personality confuses her. As she tries to maintain her excellent grades, she will uncover his true self, even though his unwelcoming personality refuses to let her do so...

In this tale of vulnerability, adolescence and painful reckoning, the arrogance of youth demands a price. * "'You're what, Louise?' he asked. 'You're sorry? What am I supposed to do here? How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper. He squeezed my fingers tightly, closing his eyes and bringing them to his chest. 'I need how you make me feel, Luiza. I need it to feel alive. I won't stay away. No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering.

A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly.

The long-lost daughter of wealthy millionaires, Robert and Julia Stark. Just as she grapples with this shocking revelation, her cousin suddenly claims her as his sister, and before she can even catch her breath, she is forced into a marriage with Asher Norman-the dangerously arrogant billionaire with a vendetta against her newfound family. Bound by duty and deception, Janette must navigate a world of power, secrets, and betrayal, where love seems impossible, but desire burns bright. Asher's thirst for revenge threatens to consume them both, but Janette isn't the helpless pawn everyone believes she is. She'll have to decide if she can break free from her past-or if loving the one who wants to destroy her is the most dangerous game of all. ♥♥♥ "You're free to go, Janette. If you want, I'll pretend everything that happened between us was just a fleeting dream," Asher said, his voice strained as he gently took her hand. His fingers traced the outline of her wedding ring, lingering on it. "You've done so much for me. Can't I do this one thing for you?" he added softly. "If you want, you can sell it or throw it away. But please, don't ask for the wedding band back-the one you made me wear. I want to keep it... as a souvenir, Janette." His voice faltered as he turned his head away, wiping the tears that threatened to fall from his eyes. "Please," he whispered, almost desperately. "Go... before I change my mind and force you to stay with me forever," he said, his voice breaking as he stood up. Janette saw the tears he was trying to hide, and a pang of disappointment twisted in her heart. She knew-he was hurting just as much as she was. #EditedComplete
