A Jude Bellingham Fanfiction
Genre: Fanfiction | Slow-burn Romance | Heartbreak Recovery | Emotional Angst

It started in an elevator. One rude comment. One dangerous look. One spark too loud to ignore.

Imelia Robane didn't fly to Ibiza to meet anyone - least of all Jude Bellingham, the blunt, unreadable footballer with too much presence and eyes that never stop watching her.

She came to escape. To forget the fiancé who broke her. To find herself in sunlight and sea foam. But Jude keeps showing up. In hotel corridors. On moonlit balconies. In the silences she's tried to drown.

He wasn't supposed to matter.
But the right person never comes when it's convenient - they come when you've been shattered, when you least expect to be seen... and they look anyway.

A slow-burn story about heartbreak, desire, and the terrifying beauty of someone refusing to let go - even when you tell them to.

Jude Bellingham
He's not looking for anyone - especially not her. But something about Imelia draws him in: the anger in her stare, the quiet in her silences. Jude is all unspoken tension and intense calm, a man used to keeping the world at arm's length. Until her. He doesn't chase. He just waits - and watches. And somehow, that's worse.
