Satria Djatmika has built a life that looks perfect from the outside - a senior director at a global company, respected across three continents, a man who refuses to let a wheelchair define him.
But his marriage is quietly dying. His wife Laksmi is drifting further away every day, and no amount of professional success can close the distance between them.
Then comes Maya Andini - a pianist, a lecturer, a woman in quiet exile from her own broken life in Paris. She wasn't looking for Satria. He wasn't looking for her.
But love, as it turns out, does not ask for permission.
Set across Jakarta, Atlanta, and Paris, The Wheel of Love is a story about what it means to be truly seen - by someone who stays not because your life is easy, but because you are worth staying for.
"I fell in love with you. From the very first time I saw you."
"Fifteen years ago?"
"Fifteen years ago."

Beneath the Betrayal
Maya never asked to fall in love with Alex, the boy who carried both charm and danger in equal measure. What began as stolen moments of laughter and late-night talks soon spiralled into a storm of jealousy, betrayal, and lies. Rachel was determined to keep Alex for herself, twisted the truth, and turned friends into enemies. When Alex lost his memory after a brutal attack, Rachel saw her chance to erase Maya from his heart. Suddenly, the girl he once held close was branded a stranger-worse, a side chick. But Maya refused to surrender. With every visit, every word, she fought to remind Alex of the love they once shared. Until the day his memories came rushing back-and Rachel's web of deception unravelled. What follows is a tale of heartbreak and healing, of love tested by fire and made stronger by truth. Beneath the betrayal lies a story about second chances, the resilience of the human heart, and the power of real love to outlast the darkest lies.Complete

*COMPLETED* He's my best friend. The one person I run to when I don't want to face the world around me, because I know I can hide with him. In the comfort of our silence. Of his touch. My heart has always been his, if only he'd see that I'm right here waiting for the day he will finally notice me. Then, perhaps, he could be mine. But I'm just out of a relationship. And he's unavailable. -•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-• #3 IN MUTUALFEELINGSComplete
The Wrong Kind of Love
Some loves are whispered. Some are hidden. Some can tear a family apart. Maya never meant for it to happen. She was supposed to be Ellie's best friend-the constant, the confidante, the one person Ellie could always trust. But then there was Leo: strong, steady, scarred by loss. A man who should have been untouchable. One glance too long. One laugh that lingered. One moment too close-and the boundaries they swore to protect began to crack. Now, every lie feels heavier. Every silence burns hotter. And as desire grows in the shadows, so does the risk: of betrayal, of heartbreak, of losing everything they thought was unshakable. What begins as a spark becomes a storm. And when the truth finally breaks through, love may not be enough to save them.

Not the best friend who became her first kiss... her first love... her everything. But when he moved across the world, he left her with nothing but a broken promise and a gold star necklace she still wears like a scar. She swore she'd wait. He swore they'd find each other again. But two weeks after he came back, he was holding another girl's hand. Now it's war. And Lisa's done playing soft. Noah thought leaving Lisa behind would protect them both. He didn't expect to fall apart without her. Neither did he expect to learn the truth-something so brutal it made him question every moment they'd ever shared and see her as a stranger in the skin of the girl he once loved. And he definitely didn't expect to fall into someone else's arms trying to forget the taste of her lips. But Lisa's not the shy girl he left behind. She's colder now. Hotter, too. And every time he looks at her like he hates her, he wants to grab her and make her remember everything. This isn't just a breakup. It's unfinished business. First love never dies. But it might just destroy them both.

Covered Edges
"You're just too much fun to mess with," he jokes, his smile transforming into a glowing smirk. My cheeks heat, but this time with anger. My tolerance has worn completely thin. "Would you let me go?" I ask spitefully. I feel like a broken record. He pushes off of the desk and takes a step back. Before I even realize what I'm doing, I slap him square across the cheek. Shock is plastered on his face, and I'm sure it is on mine too. I stand there in awe of what I just did. It was so sudden I'm not even sure I decided to do it but rather my indignation controlling me. Steadily, Damon's face morphs from shocked to entertained. I immediately regret my action, but I'm not completely stupid; I race for the door like there's no tomorrow. "You'll regret that!" I hear Damon yell as I'm running away. ~Sugar, spice, and everything nice~ A story about drama, sarcasm, love, and twists, with a little bad boy guilty pleasure mixed in between.Complete
