Who was he?
Who was that person - the one who felt like a dream, yet was real?
The one who appeared in darkness like a whisper of light?
The one who showed us the path to happiness... only to lead us astray?
The one who stood right before us, yet remained invisible to the soul?
This is the story of Bella - a girl who walked in for a job interview one ordinary morning, only to find fate waiting with two doors.
One led to Gabriel, the other to Adrian.
But which door was truly hers?
Which path was right, and which only seemed right?
And what if both doors were illusions - opened by someone else entirely, leading her toward pain she never asked for?
"Gabriel,"
Fate chose you for me... and I won't let a beautiful destiny slip through my fingers.
"Adrian,"
She fills the hollow part of me... and I'm tired of living in the emptiness.
"Bella"
I just want my truth... even if I have to walk through pain to reach it.

But one would not be able to guess the reason behind its existence. The line that exists between the two worlds slowly disappears when the rules and secrets lose their purpose. FEAR, RULES and CONSEQUENCES... they make this world. What happens when the flow that exists in this world gets disrupted by a commoner who walks into it just for fun? What happens when the same person meets the one person they were not supposed to? Some things are meant to be untouched. Some secrets are meant to be in the dark. Some people are meant to be unseen. π―Author's noteπ―: This story is purely based on creativity and imagination. Although the details hold reality to them, the story does not promote the activities or incidents that occur. Please do remember that it's only for entertainment purposes and do not encourage any other underlying intentions. Also, the story is for mature audience. There are scenes that are recommended for age groups above 18 but I would suggest above 21 to be ideal. This is mainly because the understanding and reasoning for such scenes require mature thought process. So, I hope you understand and respect that. But if you still want to go ahead, then I would be glad to welcome you guys to read it. But please don't leave hate because of the mature scenes. Thank you.Complete

Now, with a broken heart and no suitcase, she's starting over in London... Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella SolΓ¨ne Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local cafΓ© with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming cafΓ© owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process. It's a story of loss, of starting over, and the two men who force her to face what love really means. Of heartbreak turned healing, of strangers turned family. It's not just about falling in love, it's about who you become when your world shatters... and you choose to rise anyway.Complete
