She thought her story had ended, but his had never begun.
Alana, a single mother living in Raleigh, North Carolina, with her daughter - the only sunshine in her dark world. She has built her life around one rule: "Never hope again." Not after everything she lost. When her daughter i feels something she thought she had buried forever: HOPE.
But hope always comes with a cost, as fate has never played fair.
Because just when she begins to believe in a second chance, the past returns with secrets she never saw coming. And the love she thought was destiny...
might have been a plan all along, crafted by the person she trusted the most.
~~~~~~~
"Ana, please trust me. I was going to tell you everything. I never wanted to come into your life... at least not like this. I-
"Don't call me Ana. I gave that right to my friend I thought I could trust. The one who made me hope again. But I was never that lucky. Losing everything is written in my destiny... and I was foolish to think fate could change."
*******
It's a slow burn... but if you stay, it'll be worth it.

Undeniable Love- Final Spark
"I hate you," he spat, eyes blazing. "Good," she smirked, stepping closer. "Hate me harder... at least it means I still own a place in your heart." Love was undeniable - they both believed that. Yet, they got separated. They never named what they had, but their world knew who they belonged to. He loved her even before he knew what love was, while she had loved him from the moment she saw him. Call it attraction, call it a crush - whatever it was, it turned into love. YET she left him... leaving only memories behind for him to survive with. Moving on was never an option, but neither was holding on. He didn't have the strength to keep loving someone who walked away - even after knowing everything. Even after knowing he was about to propose. Even after knowing he was coming for her. She disappeared. BUT now... she's back. Back to undo her mistakes. Back to claim him as hers. Back to get what she always deserved - his love, his attention, his everything. But will it be possible when... ✨ His love has now turned into hatred? ✨ She is still hiding secrets from him? ✨ Their story ended before it could even begin? Will her love be strong enough to overcome his hatred? Find out in Undeniable Love - Final Spark. ⚠️ Not a standalone. This is Part 2 of the Undeniable Love duolog.

This is a story about a young man whose world is turned upside down by a pivotal decision made after his higher secondary education. The journey begins during the 2019 pandemic lockdown, where a casual encounter leads to his first love-a relationship born from a desire to fit in and a thrilling, anonymous confession.

Heartbreak strikes when he discovers his girlfriend's betrayal, a moment that leaves him shattered and resolved to guard his heart. This painful experience serves as a harsh lesson in resilience, pushing him to leave his past behind and embark on a new chapter at a prestigious university in a different state. There, he meets a new girl, and their bond deepens over late-night calls and shared adventures, slowly healing the wounds of his past. Their love story, however, is not without its trials. They navigate disagreements, distance, and the disapproval of her parents, who believe that love is not enough without wealth and status. After a period of silence and struggle, he emerges as a successful businessman, returning to prove his worth and fight for the woman he loves. The story culminates in a stunning revelation and a heartfelt proposal that defies all odds. This is a tale of love, loss, and second chances-a journey that shows how some connections are too powerful to ever truly fade away.Complete

Wave (Book 2)
I had survived the first. That was then; this is now. The blindfold of so many pills slowly died away and first though my finger then my head, a passion, a hurt and a need filled me as every moment was consumed with words; every breath with wisps of ink. But they were not all captured and somewhere in the deep abyss of living, lies the unspoken, almost unfelt feelings of decades in months. This is the half-empty account off all those nights from December through into the new year and the end of March. ...I pains me to share it. But it also makes it just not my problem anymore and that is something I long for- freedom and peace. Please note that all grammatical and linguistic, as well as those in punctuation and spelling or placing of words were intentional.

𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐱 𝐀𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐡 From the legacy of friendship, laughter, and silent promises... began a tale of love and hate. They were childhood sweethearts. Teased by family, bound by memories, and eventually... their hearts confessed. Love blossomed. Wedding bells rang. And happiness filled the air. Until one tragic accident... shattered it all. Misunderstandings crept in. Distance grew. And when her family decided to marry her off to another man- He pulled her back into his world. Forcefully married her. He said he hated her, but his eyes always betrayed him-burning with a love he refused to admit. Two souls. One love left unspoken. Caught in the storm of pride, pain, and a past that won't let go. Can love survive what's already broken? Or will hate seal their fate forever?
