She's clumsy, chatty, and a little too warm-hearted for the cold world of medicine. But Eva has a goal. Family is her priority ,dreaming to be the best surgeon, ambitious,kind,pure soul. Enter Dr. Neil Morris-the youngest, most brilliant Cardio-Thoracic Surgeon in the country, with zero patience for distractions, drama, or... interns. Known as "Dr. Machine" among his peers, Neil lives strictly by his schedule and scalpel, keeping emotions locked behind perfectly stitched sutures. She's chaos. He's calm. She talks too much. He barely speaks. She's falling. And he doesn't even know what falling feels like-until her.

Behind the sharp scalpel and sharper tongue, Eva glimpses a man carrying secrets-secrets she never meant to uncover. And when she becomes the only person Neil seems to trust, everything changes. "You're not what I expected, Dr. Morris," she said quietly, his gaze unreadable. "Neither are you, Dr. Eva," he whispered. "But I think I like the version that smiles... even if it's rare." he replied, taking a step closer. "Because the next secret I tell might change everything."

LOVE, ETERNAL
"I love you." For a moment, I froze. My breath hitched as his words hung in the air between us, soft yet powerful enough to make my heart stumble. I looked at him, utterly bewildered. He just stood there - calm, smiling, as if he hadn't just turned my entire world upside down. "Wh-what!?" I stammered, my voice barely escaping my lips. Even after everything - after knowing every scar, every flaw, every reason he shouldn't - he still said those words. Before I could gather my thoughts, he stepped closer. The warmth of his breath brushed against my ear as he whispered, each word sinking into my skin, "I said... I love you." And then he kissed my cheek - a fleeting, gentle touch that sent a shiver down my spine. My eyes fluttered shut, helpless against the rush of warmth that flooded through me. For that single moment, the world faded - it was just his voice, his touch, and the wild rhythm of my heartbeat that refused to calm down. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 Dr. Norah - a devoted Pediatric Neurologist who learned early on that novels and movies often paint love in deceiving shades. All she's ever wished for is a happy, peaceful family of her own. But when the world turns its back on her, who will she lean on for strength? Or will she choose to fight her battles alone? Dr. Noah - a brilliant yet reserved Neurologist who grew up knowing his life's purpose: to carry forward his father's legacy and run the family hospital. Cold on the outside but deeply grounded in his beliefs, he trusts very few. Love after marriage - that's his mantra, even though marriage itself never interested him. But when he finds her, he's determined to love her fiercely... and make her his. Two souls - destined to meet, destined to heal each other. A story where love is not found in fairytales, but built through trust, pain, and destiny itself. Because when two hearts are truly meant for each other... their bond becomes Love, Eternal. ©2021 Mia Young.

A Promise in the Moment [On Hold]
He Is Undone By Her Simplicity She Is Challenged By His Devotion. 🍁 Aarush × Priti 🪻 Aarush was never a man who believed in love or marriage. Cold,dangerous, and fiercely self-reliant, he moved through life untouched by sentiment, never asking for affection or expecting it in return. Everything changed the moment he saw Priti-quiet, self-contained, and utterly unlike anyone he'd ever known. In that instant, something shifted inside him, and for the first time, he made a silent vow-not to possess her, but to protect her, even if she never knew his true feelings or returned his love. Their marriage, arranged in the eyes of the world, brought together two people who seemed like opposites, yet mirrored each other in unexpected ways. Together, they are the same in their quietness, yet different in its origin-like two sides of a coin, opposite in the world, but perfectly aligned in the moments that matter most. ________ Ranks: #72 in business out of 141k #14 youngwritersshortstory out of 7.25K stories #13 cuteness out of 9.45K stories #244 funny out of 245K stories #298 cute out of 206K stories #636 family out of 307K stories #26 wife out of 15.4K stories #33 lovelife out of 17.6K stories #19 cutelove out of 7.21K stories #788 india out of 72.4K stories #7 slight romance out of 2.21k #4 slight humour out of 1.38k #7 in archaeology out of 1.1k

"So, let me get this straight. You stomped all over his paperwork?" She started. "Not intentionally, but yes," I confirmed it. "Threw a drink in his face?" She added. "Expensive red wine." I described. "Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger. "Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing. "And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced. "Twice." I specified. "And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement. "Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him. "I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed. "Let's hope that excuse is acceptable.." She was merely amused. "Working with my new boss is going to be a piece of work." ** Synopsis: When the CEO of Signature Heights: Jensen Black, and a stubborn employee: Alexandra Brook, clash, it's a battle of wits & a war of perseverance.
