In 1958, in a small Egyptian village, a fourteen-year-old girl is forced to marry a seventy-four-year-old man.
But on the night before her wedding, she does the unthinkable-she runs away.
Hiding in an abandoned house among the mountains, she faces hunger, fear, and the endless echo of her father's anger. When her cousin finds her, a new path opens-one that could save her or destroy everything she knows.
This is not a story about love; it's a story about survival, courage, and a girl who refused to accept her fate.

The Vintage kind
He's her best friend's father. She's half his age. But some stories aren't meant to age quietly. Leo is a 50-year-old vineyard millionaire-divorced, emotionally reserved, and untouched by love since his ex-wife Miriam walked away a decade ago. Until Nadia shows up-23, fiery, fragile, and Grace's best friend. When Nadia gets stood up by her toxic boyfriend Tendai, she runs straight to Grace's house-and unknowingly into the Mhandu family's quiet, golden chaos. Grace, ever the schemer, knows her father is lonely. And she knows her best friend deserves better. So she pulls the strings in the background and sets up the most unexpected slow-burn romance of the year. What begins as a fake sugar baby act to escape a blind date turns into late-night vineyard walks, viral photos in vintage red dresses, soft confessions, and a kiss that changes everything. But Leo is terrified-of the age gap, of judgment, of loving someone so wildly unexpected. And Nadia? She's scared too. Of leaving behind a broken past. Of trusting someone who could actually treat her right. Of falling for the one man she's not supposed to want. One daughter. One red dress. One scandalous love story. Because sometimes the most controversial things... are also the most real. The Vintage Kind is a slow-burn, age-gap romance full of heart, secrets, and a love so unexpected, it tastes like something aged to perfection.Concluida
Touch of Fate
"You were the quiet prayer I never realized I was making, answered in ways I never knew I needed." He wore a smile that hid scars no one could see. She was the woman on run, lost in the world she barely understood. Escaping a life of captivity and deception, she stumbles into a world she barely understands-and into the life of a man who seems effortlessly carefree but is anything but. To her, he's the answer to a prayer she's still learning how to make. To him, she's chaos in its purest form, a reminder of truths he's spent years burying. With danger lurking close behind her, and innocence radiating through her eyes he has no choice but to protect her. But protection comes with secrets, challenges, and a commitment he never anticipated. As their worlds collide, what starts as an uneasy alliance transforms into something neither of them expected. This is a story of two souls, each searching for freedom in their own way-one running from the chains of the past, the other trapped by the weight of his past. Together, they'll find healing, laughter, and a bond that defies all odds. Join them on a journey of chaos, laughter, faith, and love-a tale of two hearts finding a home where they least expected it.
PEACE FOUND.
Aisha grew up longing for a mother's love, but her reality was far from kind. Raised in a household where warmth was scarce and expectations ran high, her mother's harsh words and cold heart left scars deeper than anyone could see. Every dream Aisha held onto-of education, of freedom, of a life she could choose-was dismissed, crushed under the weight of tradition and control. When Aisha is forced into an arranged marriage with Bashir, a man she has never met, her world feels like it's collapsing again. All she sees is another prison, another chapter written without her consent. But Bashir isn't what she expected. Gentle, patient, and quietly understanding, he sees the pain she tries to hide and offers her something she's never truly known-respect. As time passes, Aisha begins to question everything she believed about love, marriage, and herself. In the most unlikely place, she finds not just safety, but the beginning of healing. Aisha's Promise is a powerful story of resilience, love found in unexpected places, and the courage to rewrite your destiny-even when the world tries to write it for you.Concluida
