Kais stood still, his heart heavy as tears filled his eyes. He looked at Ophelia, his voice barely a whisper.
"This is the end?" His words cracked, the weight of the moment too much to bear.
Ophelia, holding a bouquet of orchids, smiled softly-gentle as ever.
"It doesn't have to be," she said, her voice calm. "If you think about it, really."
Kais wiped at his cheeks, more tears slipping through. "I don't know how to say goodbye, Ophelia. You know that."
She reached out, her hand warm against his arm. "Then don't," she whispered.

The Choices I've Made (By the Bay #1)
Twelve years ago, he drove away with my heart in his hands. I've moved on since then. Or so I thought. Growing up in a small town, there weren't too many options when it came to friends. But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together. That was a long time ago. I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind. But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole. The problem? I'm marrying his best friend.Complete
The Path Of Love ✅
At first, they refused. Zara Kai and Archer Mays-two strangers bound by their parents' desperation-had both rejected the idea of an arranged marriage. But when Archer's father threatened to strip him of his inheritance and the company he had spent years building, he had no choice but to comply. Zara, too, had been worn down. Her mother's pleading eyes, the unspoken fear in her voice-*"Please, just agree."*-had finally broken her resolve. She said yes to a man who promised her a peaceful life, a chance at love. She didn't know she was signing away her happiness. --- Sneak peak~ The moment the door closed behind them, the mask slipped. Archer's hands were cold as they cupped her face. His kiss was nothing more than a fleeting press of lips-mechanical, devoid of warmth. Zara didn't resist, though every instinct screamed at her to pull away. There was something about him-an intoxicating dominance that left her paralyzed. *"Now, let's finish quickly,"* he murmured against her skin, fingers working at the clips of her dress. *"My friends are waiting."* The words snapped her back to reality. She shoved him away, her palm cracking across his cheek. Archer didn't flinch. He only smirked, his dark eyes glinting with something cruel. Zara's chest heaved, humiliation and fury burning through her. She had known this marriage would be loveless-but she hadn't expected *this*. *"What did you think?"* he taunted, straightening his collar. *"Husband and wife? We're nothing. We can be strangers with benefits-but even that's too generous for you."* Before she could respond, he gripped her arm and shoved her toward the door. *"I'll give you some time,"* he said, voice dripping with mockery. *"Not that you deserve it."* The lock clicked behind her. Zara stood there, trembling, the weight of her mistake crashing down. This wasn't a marriage. It was a prison ~completedComplete
Bride by Design
Halfway through her walk, her secretary appeared. Helena stopped to hear what he had to say. My vision for this long awaited day shattered when she tossed her veil away. "Excuse me!" The sound of my heart breaking into tiny little pieces was deafening and the murmurs of shocked family, friends and guests were muted. The wedding official's voice cut through. "Are you ok, dear?" Was I? For someone who was left standing at the altar... A jilted bride... I pushed the pain away, "I'm alright." The signs were always there. I only have myself to blame for the humiliation I had to suffer again today. I fell in love on my own so it was only fair to hurt alone. Fairy tale endings weren't for everyone; I knew this at the back of my mind. I may be foolish for thinking it but I always believed love has requirements; a beautiful face, a kind heart, deep pockets, a backbone - the list goes on. The requirements to be loved in return varied in proportions. So... Did I meet the standards? I had the money to entice her family. I had the backbone to stand by my decision to marry. I have a heart that loves her alone. I just fell a bar under beautiful. One could say I was passable. Somewhere along the line I must have missed and failed a mark... Just passable... Maybe that was the reason why she just passed me by. © All rights reservedComplete

That it could just be us, just us against the world. "I think we both know we could," he says in a low voice, "And I think we both want to," // Reached #1 in travellingComplete

A Promise To The Beloved...The Threads Of Fate ✓
"You see him as an heir of your empire and not as a family member. All you care about is the inheritance and not the child. If all you want is an heir then why not marry someone and produce as many heirs as you want." She stopped as she narrowed her eyes at him. And then with a mocking expression she continued, "Or is it that you are unable to Re.Pro.Duce??" seeing the angry flush on his face her heart smiled with satisfaction. But before she could celebrate her little victory against him he pulled her from her wrist and she collided with his hard chest. Snaking an arm around her waist he held her tightly as she struggled in his hold. "Don't play with fire, Ms Lilly Jones or don't complain to me later if you end up getting burned." "I've never hated anyone as much as I hate you." she spitted. "The feelings are mutual then, sweetheart." he smiled. _______________ He married her to fulfil a promise he had made long ago.

Wounded Heart ✔
She loved him with devotion so fierce it scorched every heartbeat, every glance. He was her obsession, her reason to breathe, and her undoing. But while her world revolved around him, he remained distant-a presence, never hers. "How do you let go of someone who is the air in your lungs and the ache in your heart?" "He is my breath, and I will forget him when I forget to breathe." Memories burned bright and untouchable-hers alone. She clung to each haunted fragment, every echo of forbidden love. Until fate, honouring a promise to Aashi, forced her into the arms of the man whose heart was a graveyard. "I married you to fulfil her last wish. You will never belong here." His words cut deep-cold, calculated, meant to wound. Cruelty hid his storm. Her silence was her weapon, her pain a fortress. "You think you know pain?" she spat, her eyes blazing. "I live it every day." He turned away, fists clenched. "You don't belong. This will never be your home." Yet, in their grief and fury, sparks flew, igniting something dangerous. "Love and hate are two sides of the same burning coin." When apologies come too late, and regret drowns truth, love risks turning to ash. She walks away, her heart in ruins. He falls, shattered-vowing to bleed, to burn, to reignite the fire in her eyes. "Some hearts are forged in fire. Some burn to ashes." Even if it destroys him. 📅 Start Date: 28th October 2019 ⏳ End Date: 23rd October 2020 ✏️ Edited Date: 2026Complete
BROKEN HOPE (Lucas & Emilia Book 2)
I was so damn naive it's no wonder I've ended up here. Kidnapped by the man who promised me forever, just as I'd begun to understand the depths of his betrayal. It's a sad truth I didn't marry my husband for love. I married him for the life he promised to provide, and if I'm honest with myself, I married him in hopes one day he'd fill the void Lucas-my first love-left behind. Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I've walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life's harshest lesson... I'm not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me. Especially now. Surrounded by danger and at the mercy of my husband's enemies, I'm forced to face one final bit of truth. Much like love, hope is for the weak. I was a fool to believe in the vows and promises they made. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 2 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc. For the complete experience, start with Book 1: Broken Vows.Complete
