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.

Their First, And Last
They say everyone finds love at least once. But what if... she never did? She didn't stop believing in it- she just never got it. Not the kind you read about. Not the kind that stays. She loved deeply, silently, and selflessly... but life never loved her back the same way. And he-he wasn't searching for anyone. He didn't even know what love looked like until he looked at her. And suddenly, he just knew. This isn't a story of second chances. There was never a first. This is the beginning they never expected- when two lonely hearts crash softly, and build a kind of love that feels like home for the very first time. It's not her last... It's her first, too. And maybe... finally... her always.
Threads of Control
In the depths of Zaun's underworld, your name is whispered like a shadow. A thief of secrets, a broker of whispers, you've built your reputation on information-slipping through alleys, taverns, and backroom deals with eyes sharp enough to cut and ears tuned to the slightest tremor of betrayal. But power attracts danger, and one night, you cross the wrong line. A job gone sideways entangles you with Silco's operation-the most dangerous man in Zaun's rising empire. You expect death, chains, or worse. What you don't expect is the way he looks at you-not as prey, but as something useful. Something worth keeping. Silco draws you deeper into his world, where loyalty is currency and betrayal is a death sentence. And in that world waits Jinx-a fragile storm of chaos and brilliance. Somehow, she latches onto you, her small hands clinging as if you could shield her from the madness. Against your better judgment, you become her anchor, the "mother" Silco cannot be. But the deeper you fall into Silco's orbit, the harder it is to tell where survival ends and desire begins. You are his spy, his confidant, his foil-and perhaps his undoing. Because in Zaun, love is never gentle. It is obsession. It is power. And once Silco decides you are his, there is no escape.

He's fine, laid-back, and got that confidence that makes her nervous in the best way. What starts as playful flirting turns into something deeper. The two start spending every day together on the trip-late-night talks, laughing, and vibes that feel too good to be temporary. But once the plane lands back home, real life hits.

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
