She gave him a flower.
He never thought it would change everything.
Because sometimes, love begins with a single peony.

There's something magical about Tuesdays. Not unicorns-in-the-sky magical, but the kind of magic where strangers spill coffee, curse under their breath, and keep moving like it's part of the city's rhythm.

That's where you'd usually find Solana Montenegro-elbow-deep in peonies at the flower shop, humming to herself, and occasionally yelling joy at strangers who looked like they hadn't laughed since kindergarten.

That's how she met him.
Tall. Stormy. A suit so sharp it could cut glass.
Mr. Moody Grumpsuit.

And when she shoved a flower into his hand and told him he needed it, Xander Night had no idea it was the first crack in his perfectly controlled world.

My Husband, Whose Heart Belongs To Another. by Mercy198

Christian Hendrix's story (straight out of Coffee And Papers) * * * His heart was broken by the rejection from his one true love and now, a possible way surfaced for him to grow out of that pain. There was no thinking twice. He accepted the proposal and now, he's about to marry the only child of a business tycoon except, she's no ordinary person. Twenty-three-year-old Harieth Gryffin was a woman dazzled by the materialistic features of this world. A total opposite to his first love. A living epitome of your typical blonde heiress. Shopaholic, carefree, sassy and child-like attitude. A date was fixed and the media fully informed but it seems the Gryffins are up to something a little sinister behind the cameras. * * * My husband, whose heart belongs to another. * * * "I..." "You seem to have forgotten why you're standing here in the first place... Perhaps, I should remind you. We're getting married tomorrow just because I wish to see my family's company progress further. Therefore, because of the money. For future reference, there's no need for you to act like a wife. Don't ask me questions relating to my personal life and don't try to get close to me. I don't like you now and I definitely won't like you in a few months." With that, he walked away, leaving me to reminisce on his harsh statement. A crazy chuckle escaped my lips as I try my best not to feel affected by his words. Definitely, I've heard worse. * * * I won't call this book a sequel because it can be read as a standalone.

Shattered Hearts: A Journey Through Darkness and Redemption by avyas_tales

𝑨𝒂𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒔𝒉 × 𝑰𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒂 | 29 × 21 "WDYM BY YOUU TRIED TO FORCE YOURSELF ON HER...HUH?" "Why such fancy words FUCKER...Sach Sach bathana ki YOU FUCKING TRIED TO RAPE HER" "RAPE YOUR OWN WIFE" "You sick, pathetic bastard," aadi spat. "I never thought you could sink this low. To touch a woman without her consent- that too your own wife-how dare you...huh?" Tears blurred my vision, spilling down my cheeks. My chest heaved with silent cries. "I know... I know..." My voice was barely a whisper, choked and broken. "She's not an object for you to claim. Not something you take when you please. Not something you break just because you can." I squeezed my eyes shut, my entire body trembling. I wished he'd keep hitting me. I wished he'd tear me apart, because nothing-nothing-could hurt more than knowing what I had done. "A woman's body is not an invitation. Her silence is not consent. Her fear is not an excuse." I let out a strangled sob, guilt pressing down on me like a crushing weight. "I-I was wrong. I lost control, I-" "Lost control?" His voice was sharp with fury. "You think strength is forcing yourself on someone weaker? Then let me show you what real strength looks like." His fist slammed into my gut, knocking the air from my lungs. I doubled over, gasping, my knees buckling. "A real man protects. A real man respects. A real man knows that a woman is not something you own-she is someone you stand beside." . . . A story of a villain who was ready to destroy himself, instead of the world this time...just to see a fucking smile on his wife's face. A Mafia leader vs A Florist. Forced Marriage He fell First and harder Virgin MMC & FMC and a lot more... Peep into the story to know more...and please don't judge the book based on the first few chapters...Because there is a reason why I potrayed him such way..also be ready to hate him to the core in intial chapters and fall madly in love with him in the later.

MR. SERIOUS | ✔️ by fevergz

A sunshine girl. A serious man. Multiple chanced meetings that changed everything. Aurora Blaire wasn't looking for anything serious-especially not while on a girls' holiday. But fate had other plans, for both her and Lucian Thorne: a brutally composed CEO who didn't do random, had never been in a relationship, and was too focused on his businesses to find love. What started as chance run-ins turned into something they couldn't ignore. But how does a man built on control survive the kind of girl who blooms in chaos? ------------------------------------------------------------------ ""Her tipsy boldness kicked in hard, and walked for the armrest near him-planning to sit there casually. But the world tilted, and instead of gracefully settling next to him, she ended up tumbling right onto his lap. His hand shot to her waist, steadying her with surprising gentleness. "Careful, princess." he said, his voice low and smooth, just enough to make her blush harder. "Oops," she giggled, cheeks flaming. "I cant believe it's you Mr. Serious." "Still drunk, I see." And with that, Aurora's mind took off in full chatter mode."" ------------------------------------------------------------------ #1 SWEET #1 GRUMPY #1 CUTE #1 FUNNY #1 GRUMPYXSUNSHINE #1 RICHGUY #5 CEO

UNCONDITIONALLY YOURS by Rae_ans_

(COMPLETED) He's everything she hates. A rich, arrogant, cocky playboy. She should be repulsed by him, but from the first moment she met him face to face, her heart of ice ineluctably set on fire. He had one mission. Something he had struggled for his entire life. Something that he was so determined to do, he once believed there nothing that could stand in his way. He should have known better. Nothing that you long desperately enough for comes without a price. But what price do you have to pay when you start to spend a little too much time around the one you were born to despise. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I don't have anything to bribe you with, only my own words. Tell me, how will you ever be free if you do not take a risk every once in a while?" "I take risks." "You may take risks that give you freedom from your life, but I have a feeling this risk is a little different on many levels, correct me if I'm wrong." I began to think, did one single day really matter? Maybe it would help, maybe it was all I needed to stop thinking about him. "Make the most of it as it will both the first and the last time you are taking me to lunch, let alone ever seeing me again."

Petals [gxg] by JansOtherStories

Felicity 'Fliss' Farrah Fields embraced life. Truly, dearly loved life, but she loved her little florist shop, 'Petals', more than anything. Passed on to her when her parents retired, 'Petals' is everything Fliss could want from life. Except, perhaps, finding love. Finding women to sleep with, those wonderful ''Ms Right Now"'s, was remarkably easy. Finding that one, elusive, forever love was a little harder. Introduced to a new dating app, 'WaitDate', Fliss chooses temporary celibacy and enters into an anonymous relationship that has all the markings of something promising, but, coincidentally, she also meets Mia, a funny, vivacious girl Fliss chooses to remain only friends with, and the incredibly beautiful, billionaire corporate shark, Henrietta 'Harry' Marsh, who seems intent on stealing 'Petals' out from under Fliss. 'Petals' follows Fliss' attempts to remain frustratingly celibate in the face of so many gorgeous women and her fight to keep hold of something more important. Her little shop. And she wonders which, if any, of the girls she meets can become her forever love.

Boardrooms & Beach Towels | ✔ by ocealisiren

My bandana is yellow. Dani tied it for me. Worse: she's the team captain. Worse than that? She keeps calling me "Mango Commander." "Alright, Commander," she says, jogging up beside me with two coconuts and zero shame. "You're on water balloon defense. If you get hit, we lose points." "Who designed this?" "Me," she says proudly. "Also I may have borrowed half of it from a summer camp activity called 'Fruit Wars.'" She hands me a coconut. "Why are there faces on them?" "For morale." I stare at her. She stares back. ●○●○●○●○●○● When an uptight billionaire CEO is forced to take a "mandatory" corporate retreat at a beach resort - a PR stunt to prove he supports employee well-being - he ends up rooming next to the most enthusiastic, sunshiny employee in the entire company. She's on the trip because she won a "Wellness Champion" contest for being a ray of positivity in the office. He's there because the board is threatening to remove him if he doesn't start showing a human side.
