Prologue
If someone had asked Ava to describe her life plan, she would've said something articulate-like balance, or fulfillment, or not losing her mind before thirty.
Instead, she got a wedding she wasn't ready for, a husband who rushed everything, and a career she barely had time to miss before it slipped through her fingers.
Then-boom.
She went to bed on her wedding night, exhausted, annoyed, and vaguely regretful.
And woke up on her honeymoon.
Same husband. Different country. No memory of how she got there.
The next morning? A new version of her life again.
One day she's a wife. The next, a mother. Then an executive in a skyline office she doesn't remember earning. Some days it feels like winning. Others, like drowning.
Time doesn't wait for her. It yanks her forward, skips the chapters, rewrites the lines.
Now Ava's just trying to figure out what she wanted in the first place-before life finishes the story without asking her how it ends.

The Ones we Shouldn't Love: ACT I
It starts fast-like lightning striking dry earth. What begins as a spark becomes a fire neither of them can contain. It's the kind of love that keeps you up at night, wide-eyed and breathless, not out of fear, but because you can't bear to miss a single moment. It bruises the heart in places no one sees, but never breaks it-never harms it. Just leaves fingerprints, soft and lingering. Leaving would be easier if love ever truly left. But it doesn't. It lingers in the walls, in the sheets, in the silence between words. One heart clings to memory, loving what was. The other leans into the unknown, loving what might be. And somewhere in between, love becomes a duty-an unspoken promise, heavy and unshakable. All she wants is quiet now. Not the silence of loneliness, but the stillness of peace. A place where her heart doesn't have to choose between two kinds of love-only rest in the safety of her own.
The Devil's Crybaby
Eliza Labelle had survived a shooting that should have killed her, but surviving turned out to be the beginning of her problems rather than the end. After waking in a hospital bed with a bullet wound and a government determined to bury the incident, she discovered that the man responsible had vanished behind the walls of a place most people only whispered about. While her family tried to push her back into her privileged city life, strange events and growing unease made it impossible for her to forget what happened. When she was suddenly taken from everything she knew and dragged beyond the safety of the world she had grown up in, Eliza found herself trapped in a brutal land ruled by old loyalties, hidden power structures, and people who lived by laws far different from those of the city. As she struggled to survive among dangerous strangers, she uncovered secrets that connected powerful families, forbidden territories, and a world that had been carefully hidden from ordinary people. The deeper she was pulled into that world, the harder it became to separate friend from enemy, truth from manipulation, and survival from sacrifice. What began as a fight to return home slowly became a journey that forced her to confront the darkest parts of human nature, the cost of loyalty, and the reality that some doors could never be closed once they were opened.
Karma Calls Me Wife
(He thought he could cheat, lie, and escape. But karma doesn't forget. And this time, karma sleeps in his bed.) Ariana was supposed to be just another girl from a poor family- his mother's choice, his unwanted wife, and a woman he could ignore. That's what Leon thought. He had a girlfriend. A perfect life. A freedom he wasn't willing to give up. Until she played the game better than anyone. While he was busy trying to push her away, she was already ten steps ahead-rewriting her own story, twisting the rules, and turning his world upside down. But when he finally realizes that she's the only one who ever truly mattered... will she still want him? Because Ariana doesn't just take what she's given. She sees. She wants. She acts. She creates. And then-she steals. And this time, she might just steal his heart....Complete

A quiet job in a quiet town, a routine that never hurt, and a heart too careful to fall for anyone too fast. But then he walked in. The new hire. Mysterious. Impossibly attractive. He had the smile of a gentleman and the presence of a man who'd burn the world to keep your attention. He said all the right things. Held doors. Knew how to make her laugh. And when he looked at her-it felt like she was the only girl in the universe. But love, she learns, can be blinding. And not all monsters hide in shadows. Some wear suits. Some call you "baby." Some hold you like you're a prayer-then break you like a curse. Because he has secrets. Dark ones. Dangerous ones. The kind of truths that can't be buried without blood. So now the real question is... Will she uncover who he truly is-before it's too late? Can love survive when it's soaked in lies and obsession? And when she finally sees the monster behind the man... Will she run? Or will she stay?Complete
