Ella Grey escaped her wealthy but suffocating parents who wanted to dictate her marriage and career.
Reinvented herself as a renowned event planner-graceful, independent, thriving in high society on her own terms.
Outwardly elegant, but inside she's fierce. She refuses to be controlled again.
Manuel Volkov
Brutally powerful-think cold blue eyes, impeccable suits, and a reputation for making rivals disappear.
Owns a multinational empire (legit companies on the surface, shady dealings beneath).
Ruthless in business-he negotiates with blood and contracts alike.
He doesn't believe in love-sees women as fleeting pleasures, not commitments.

Twisted Destiny
☆ MultiCouple Series Book #1 --------☆--------- Three best friends. Three stories. Three impossible loves. Hoorain and Azlan were never meant to fall in love but enemies don't stay enemies when he falls first... and falls hard. In a world where Azlan's possessiveness burns hotter than his ambition, Hoorain must decide if she can survive a love that threatens to consume her whole. Because touching him means death, but loving him might be worse. Haya and Arsal were a story that almost began years ago. Back in university, they shared quiet glances neither dared to act on- a silent, mutual crush they both mistook for one-sided longing. Then life pulled them in different directions. Six years later, destiny brings them face-to-face again. This time, the spark they once ignored grows into something real: easy banter, stolen smiles, friendship that blooms into love. But just when their hearts finally find each other, everything changes. A betrayal neither saw coming. A marriage that was never meant to be theirs. A bride who was supposed to be someone else. And a truth they're both afraid to uncover. Now love at first sight has twisted into a haunting question- what really pulled them into this marriage, and what are they not being told? Alishba and Aryan were born into each other's lives long before they understood what that meant. She grew up in shadows she never deserved-her childhood leaving scars she hides behind sharp words and colder walls. He grew up as everything she wasn't allowed to be: flirty, reckless, charming... the golden boy who never took anything seriously. He pushes every button she has, and she pushes back twice as hard. What neither of them admits is that the fire between them didn't start yesterday. Childhood enemies. Unspoken tension. A connection neither wants but can't outrun.

Love Spilled Like Coffee
Damian Blackwood is a man who has everything-wealth, power, and an unshakable reputation as a ruthless CEO. Love? He never believed in it. To him, emotions were distractions, and relationships were nothing more than business transactions. But everything changes one morning when he accidentally spills coffee on a stranger at a café. Ella Carter, with her soft eyes and warm smile, isn't like the people he's used to. She doesn't fawn over his status or try to impress him. Instead, she simply cleans the mess, gives him a polite nod, and walks away-leaving him utterly captivated. For fifteen days, Damian returns to the café at the same time, just to see her from afar. He doesn't know why. He doesn't even know her name. But something about her makes his carefully controlled world feel unsteady. Then fate takes control. Ella walks into Blackwood Enterprises for an interview, only to realize the man from the café-the one who had been haunting her thoughts-is her new boss. Damian is thrilled but keeps his emotions locked away, offering her the job with a professional mask. As they spend more time together, the tension between them grows. Damian finds himself breaking his own rules, drawn to the warmth and kindness Ella brings into his cold, calculated world. Ella, in turn, sees glimpses of the man beneath the powerful CEO-one who's afraid to love, but even more afraid of losing her. Will Damian finally let go of his fears and embrace the love he never believed in? Or will his hesitation cost him the one thing he never knew he needed? A heartfelt, slow-burn romance about fate, unexpected love, and the power of simple moments that change everything.Complete
