The Broken Architect
Every building begins with a foundation. So did Shariff's heart-laid brick by brick with dreams, laughter, and the warmth of a love he thought would last. Then betrayal struck, and everything collapsed.
In the silence of heartbreak, he rebuilt himself. Stronger. Colder. Untouchable. The boy who once sketched castles of romance became a man who trusted only in power and silence.
This is not just the story of love found and lost. It is the story of how pain shapes destiny. Of how a broken architect learned to build again-this time, not with love, but with fire.

Choosing YOU
He was abandoned before he learned how to love - and she was thrown into his life by fate. Everyone thought they were just another arranged couple fumbling through married life. What no one saw were the storms behind closed doors. He didn't talk much - not about the family that left him,or the pain he never gave a name to. He carried his wounds like shadows, quietly, stubbornly. Until the day he broke - and told her the truth. A child born without warmth of a mother. Left behind like a secret. Raised without love. She tried to fix it - she really did. But healing doesn't always come from the ones who hurt us. So instead, she offered him something else: Her hand. Her heart. Her vow to stay. This isn't a story about saving someone. It's about standing with them when no one else will. And loving them until they finally start to believe they're worthy of it.Complete

✨ 𝐔𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 ✨ A man accused. A woman misunderstood. A love neither of them saw coming. People think having money means your life is perfect. That you've never struggled. Never had to fight for anything. But I know pressure. I know silence. I know what it means to build yourself in the dark. My name is 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐳-𝐑𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬. I'm 27, a surgeon at WestLake Premier Medical, and I come from wealth-but I'm not the girl who wants to be kept. I'm the woman who earns her place. Who dreams big, works harder, and builds the life she wants-one heartbeat at a time. Love? It's cute, but not on my to-do list. Then there's 𝐉𝐚𝐡𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐫 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐬𝐨𝐧. The media calls him a real estate mogul. The streets know him as the boy who went to prison for a crime he swears he didn't commit. Ten years behind bars stole more than his youth-it stole his faith in justice. 𝐖𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭.

Loving Through The Darkness

And when fate ties them together, love doesn't enter gently- It cracks the walls, shakes the ground, and demands to be felt. Loving Through Your Darkness Two hearts. One lie. And a love story neither of them believed they deserved.Complete
A.N BONDED FOREVER
Naina grew up in a house full of voices, yet hers was never heard. A daughter blamed for everything, a sister never chosen, a girl who learned too early that family can break you deeper than strangers ever could. Every smile she wore was borrowed, every tear hidden in the dark where no one cared to look. Then came Novah - quiet, steady, unshaken. Where her family saw weakness, he saw strength. Where they silenced her, he listened. Where they broke her, he held the pieces like they were treasures. For the first time, Naina felt what it meant to belong. "I'm ruined... broken," she whispered. "No," Novah's voice was firm, almost desperate. "To me, you're home. My peace. My everything." Two souls, bound not by perfection but by pain, healing, and an unbreakable bond. This isn't just their love story - it's survival, it's defiance, it's finding light in the one person who refuses to let you go. But when love blooms inside a cage, it comes at a cost. Can Novah's love free her, or will it destroy him too?
