The Arrangements of Hearts
Aaliyah never imagined she'd be the one walking down the aisle in her sister's place, but when her sister fled the arranged marriage to Alessio, a billionaire whose wealth was as imposing as his reputation, Aaliyah was thrust into a world she was unprepared for.

The Moments I Left Behind
Aaliyah has always been good at keeping secrets-especially from herself. The weight of her past, the thoughts she never voices, the nights spent trapped in her own mind. But something is shifting. The silence isn't as heavy. The laughter isn't as forced. And Michael? He notices before she does. He doesn't push, doesn't ask for explanations. But in the way he lingers, in the teasing remarks and quiet understanding, he makes it easier to stay. Healing isn't a straight path-some days, the past still whispers too loud. But for the first time, Aaliyah isn't drowning in it. These are the moments that make her feel alive again, fleeting and fragile, yet real. And one day, when she's somewhere else-when these days feel like a distant dream-she won't remember everything. Not every word, not every glance. But she'll remember how it felt. And maybe, that will be enough.
