She was healing. He was hiding. But somehow, they found home in each other.
Sa'Lani had finally rebuilt her peace - stacking money, running her salon, raising her pup, and pouring into her content. After a heartbreak that taught her not everyone loves with pure intentions, she stopped looking for love. She chose solitude, safety, and success.
Then came Nasir.
Quiet. Observant. Dangerous when he has to be. A man the streets respected but didn't really know. He had money, power, and pain buried beneath it all. After years of being in survival mode, the last thing he expected was to be moved by a woman with gentle eyes and guarded energy.
They weren't supposed to fall - not this fast, not this deep. But fate didn't ask permission.
In a world full of fake love, loyalty tests, and past wounds that don't heal easy, they'll have to decide:
Can something real bloom... even in the ruins?
Because sometimes, the most broken hearts grow the strongest love.

WISPS OF VELVET CHAINS
Samuel, a boy with quiet lips and scars that time refused to erase-an introverted soul searching for love in a world that never offered it. Erica, fire in human form-harsh, untamed, a lonely queen fighting to never be forgotten. Their meeting was no accident; fate had already written their names in the same breath. Their bond craves hunger, demands surrender, and lingers in the mind like a fever that refuses to break. But love such as theirs is not gentle. Problems surround them like chains-chains that can either tie them together with unbreakable force... or tighten until both can no longer breathe. In every stare, every silence, every reckless touch-something more dangerous is born. This isn't just a love story. It's a storm. And storms never leave without destruction.

Somewhere Between Us
"Loving you is exhausting and hard. Give me a freaking break." he said. "Then why are you still here?", she whispered with a pale and trembling voice, holding back the tears that were willing to fall down her cheeks. Laura never wanted to fall in love with someone she couldn't touch - someone who only existed behind a screen, a voice borne by time zones and poor connections. But Evan made distance seem hazardous. He made every silence burn. "You could've stopped talking to me." she said to him once. "I tried," he said. "You just wouldn't leave my fucking head." Somewhere in between their late-night phone calls and the words they never spoke, something real started to take shape - delicate, wrong, and beautiful. But love such as theirs was going to shatter. It was constructed on waiting, on jealousy, on all the things they couldn't have. And maybe that's the cruelest kind of love - the kind that feels infinite, but ends the moment you wake up. Until Aiden walked in - the man who was real, present, and everything Evan couldn't be. Aman who had actually been beside her even when she broke his heart, even when she drifted away to chase someone who made her heart ache in ways she never imagined. "He doesn't deserve you. please wake up Lau." Aiden told her. "Then why does it still feel like he's the one?" she whispered. "You're crazy." Somewhere between what she wanted and what she needed, Laura lost control. Between time zones and heartbreak, between messages and memories, something between them had shattered. Because sometimes, love doesn't ask you to choose between two people - it asks you to choose which part of yourself you're willing to destroy.

Loyalty
Nia moved like she knew the world belonged to her. And in a lot of ways, it did. She wasn't just the daughter of Lane Fairbanks- Atlanta's most feared, most respected kingpin- she was the princess of a blood built empire. Silk skin, almond eyes and a mouth that could bless or bury you. Nia had a way of standing too close, speaking too low, and making men forget who they were. Except Nasir. He was quiet. Calculated. The kind of man who moved like shadows moved. Sharp cheekbones, chocolate skin, a voice like gravel soaked in honey-and cold as the money he helped Lane move. Nasir was her father's right hand. Trusted. Unshakeable. And completely off limits. At least, that's what he wanted her to believe. Short story.Complete
After Everything
Prologue: Before the storm, there was softness. There was laughter in quiet cafes, late-night calls that turned into early mornings, hands tangled in each other like roots learning how to hold. There was a boy who made me feel seen, and a girl who still believed that love-real love-could be enough. We weren't perfect, but we were in love. The kind of love that feels handwritten by the universe. The kind of love you bet everything on, even when the odds start to shift. But the thing about love is that it doesn't unravel all at once. It frays. Quietly. Softly. One skipped detail. One unanswered question. One moment of doubt that grows roots while you're still convincing yourself everything's fine. This is a story about that unraveling. About the ache of being almost chosen. About trust that cracked before it broke. But it's also a story about resilience. About finding your voice in the silence. About choosing love-not just in someone else, but in yourself. Because sometimes the greatest love stories aren't the ones that come easy. They're the ones you fight for, walk away from, and learn to return to with open eyes. This is not just a love story. It's a reckoning. A healing. A reminder that sometimes, even in the aftermath, love still finds a way back. And this time, it's real.Complete
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
