Auriela Moretti has loved Lucian D'Amore for as long as she can remember - quietly, hopelessly, and always from a distance. Once bound by childhood memories and the girl they both lost, they are now strangers poised to become husband and wife.
Their engagement, arranged in the wake of tragedy and legacy, is not born of affection, but expectation. Auriela returns to high society at twenty-one, stepping into a life of cold dinners, polite silence, and a man who refuses to look beyond the past.
As tensions simmer and unspoken grief lingers, their marriage becomes a fragile battleground of restraint and longing. Slowly, what began as a quiet arrangement begins to crack - revealing old wounds, buried truths, and the possibility of something real.
A story of unrequited love, emotional healing, and the slow awakening of two broken souls - this is a love story that begins after "I do."

Still Yours
Years ago, they were bound by a mistake called marriage. Too young to understand love, too proud to stay. They walked away , carrying the scars, the silence, and a story left unfinished. Now, after years apart, Arjun and Avantika stand on opposite ends of success , independent, unstoppable, and untouched by the past... or so they believe. But fate is never done playing its game. One unexpected meeting and all the walls they built begin to tremble. This time, there are no childish promises. No anger. No blame. Just two broken souls, learning to love the right way , the adult way , with patience, depth, and the kind of longing that never really dies. Maybe this is what destiny always meant .... not the love they lost, but the one they were meant to grow into. A story of second chances, healing hearts, and a love reborn in its most mature form. "They were too young to love right. Now fate gives them one last chance."Abgeschlossene Geschichte
My first love
I took a deep breath. "I know you know," I said. My voice was barely a whisper. The words felt huge in the quiet room. Luca tilted his head. "Know what, Iris?" His eyes searched my face. "My crush," I said. My face burned. "On you." My stomach dropped. The words hung in the air. I didn't even try to lie. There was no point. He had seen it. He had always known. But saying it out loud it burned. I stayed still. My eyes stung. ************ He broke her heart once. This time, he'll destroy anyone who tries to break hers. At twenty-two, Iris Darlington finally has her life moving in the right direction. A dream job. Amazing friends. A future she built without anyone's help. Especially not Luca Whitmore. The man who shattered her teenage heart. The man she's spent years trying to forget. But avoiding Luca becomes impossible when fate throws them back into each other's lives. Because Luca isn't the same man she remembers. He's colder. More powerful. More dangerous. And the way he looks at her now makes it clear that forgetting her was never an option. As old feelings ignite and buried secrets come to light, Iris finds herself caught between the life she's worked so hard to build and the man who could tear down every wall around her heart. In Manhattan, power is everything. Love is weakness. And Luca Whitmore is willing to become a monster if it means keeping Iris safe. Even from himself.

The Barren Wife
She was never meant to be his. When Adrian Eryx Vescari's first bride fled, he married Araxie Asteria instead-the woman no one expected, the one whispered about in hushed tones. Their union was a scandal, a bargain, a vow written in smoke and shadows. Cold, ruthless, and untouchable, Adrian made it clear she would never have his heart. Araxie, sharp-tongued and fearless, refused to bow to his indifference. Their marriage was meant to be nothing more than appearances. Yet in a house built on blood and silence, Araxie begins to build her own mark. Her defiance, her fire, and her quiet kindness draw the Vescari household closer-even as Adrian fights the pull of the very woman he swore he would never want. But in the mafia world, love is not a gift. It is a weapon. And some vows are more dangerous to keep than to break.Abgeschlossene Geschichte

🏆 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 | She ran from her wedding the day she found out the groom was expecting a baby with someone else. Now, with a broken heart and no suitcase, she's starting over in London... Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella Solène Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local café with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming café owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process. It's a story of loss, of starting over, and the two men who force her to face what love really means. Of heartbreak turned healing, of strangers turned family. It's not just about falling in love, it's about who you become when your world shatters... and you choose to rise anyway.Abgeschlossene Geschichte

She wonders if she can resist him, but the bigger question remains: can she trust the man who once destroyed her heart? As old wounds reopen and buried emotions resurface, can they find their way back to each other? Or will the pain of yesterday be stronger than the love they still hold? A second chance awaits, but only if Mila and Heath can prove that some hearts are meant to find each other twice.
