She wasn't chasing a wedding-she was chasing herself.
Zoya didn't dream of a perfect wedding-she dreamed of freedom, of choosing her own path in a world that often chose for her.
As friendships changed, love tested her limits, and society tried to write her ending, she kept rewriting her own script-line by line.
This is not just a love story.
It's a survival story.
A soul story.
And a powerful reminder that the most beautiful "forever" starts with finding the courage to be yourself.

Her Last Hope
Her POV: He was heartless, ruthless, cruel, calculating... there was not even one ounce of humanity in him-no trace of empathy or mercy, no place for love or kindness in his heart. He ruined me, humiliated me, crushed me... But he was powerful, strong, terrifying... no one dared to cross him or stand in his way. And so, I was left alone to bear the consequences of things I hadn't done. I promised I would avenge my dignity and my hard work, one way or another... But fate had other plans. He claimed that he loved me, but his actions revealed his true colors. And I- I never thought I was capable of hating someone so deeply, but I hated him with everything I had left in me. His POV: I was the king of the world-the most powerful man you'd ever meet. Cold and merciless, no one dared stand against me. Everyone sought my approval. They feared my wrath and worshipped my name. Everyone... except her. She was the woman who made my heart beat for the first time. The woman who looked past my power and saw the man beneath it. The only one who wanted nothing from me, while I wanted everything from her. But I couldn't blame her for despising me. Not after everything I had done. For the first time in my life, I was wrong. And I only realized it when it was too late. Still, I vowed-if she ever came back into my life, I would never let her go again. I never imagined I could love someone that much... but I loved her with everything I had.Complete

Before the Answers | ✓
[COMPLETE] Every year on her birthday, Ahana opens a list. A list of questions. Some are silly. Some are sharp. Some feel like wounds pressed too hard. She answers the ones she can. She rewrites the ones that changed. And she adds more questions - because life never stops demanding answers. Because growing up doesn't come with closure. Because some questions linger year after year, waiting. ****** Ahana was always the girl with big dreams, perfect grades, and the kind of ambition that made adults smile and other teenagers step back. But at seventeen, she makes a choice no one expected. Not even herself. She walks into classrooms that don't inspire her, laughs with people who don't know her, and stares at the ceiling at 2 a.m., wondering if this is all she'll ever be. There are toxic friendships that drain her, and boys who don't stay. There's guilt for not loving someone back. And heartbreak from someone who couldn't choose her. There are late-night breakdowns, and moments of insane happiness. And always - always - there's the list. Through it all, Ahana keeps writing. Because the questions still matter. Because she's still trying to become the girl her seventeen-year-old self believed in. 'Before the Answers' is not a story of perfection. It's a story of almosts, quiet strength, and learning to be okay with not having all the answers.Complete
