Arab Stories

Beautiful (1995) In a world where love is staged and perfection is currency, Gia Zahra was the standard. A global icon. A multi-billionaire. A face that sold fantasies and a name that never left headlines. To the public, she was untouchable-crafted, polished, beautiful. But behind the flashing cameras and curated smiles was a woman slowly unraveling under the weight of being everything everyone wanted... except herself. Romeo Volkovich was no better-just more honest about it. A billionaire heir with a reputation carved from scandal, excess, and reckless charm. The kind of man the world warned you about but couldn't stop watching. Cold, intoxicating, and entirely destructive, Romeo didn't believe in love-only in power, control, and the art of not caring. Until their names collided. When bad press threatens to destroy everything they've built, the solution is as simple as it is suffocating: a contract, a ring, and a lie convincing enough to fool the world. An arranged marriage. A performance. A perfect illusion. They weren't supposed to touch. They weren't supposed to feel. And they definitely weren't supposed to fall in love. But somewhere between staged kisses and stolen silences, the lines begin to blur. The cameras don't catch the way her walls crack around him... or the way his darkness softens when she says his name. Because the most dangerous part of pretending to be in love... is realizing it was never pretend at all. 🚨WARNING🚨 This story explores complex and often disturbing themes that may not be suitable for all readers.

Prince Leonardo is, by far, the most respected and beloved leader amongst his people. Knowing he's going to be King, having a high approval rating is pretty nice. The problem is his conscience. He feels he hasn't earned the admiration others feel for him, often attributing his brilliant projects in the humanities to the help of his younger twin sisters and brother. Especially his brother. But Prince Damien isn't one for the spotlight at all. Instead, he suggested Leonardo try doing a project completely independently if he feels so undeserving. So Leo set his sights on one thing no one has been able to achieve since the deaths of King Edward and Queen Rosa Fresthan of Yaquir. He wants an alliance with Remembauri. ^^^ Princess Maala can't remember the last time she's felt truly free. Imprisoned in her desert oasis, more so than her tower, she has given up on escape. She longs to see the world, but she can also recognize a curse when she sees one. She'll most likely never live to escape her prison or truly see her family again. With only a bodyguard, a magic mirror, and an unfortunate male acquaintance for company, how will the only princess of Remembauri save herself from wasting away? This is the fifth book in the Light series. As with all other books, it can be read as a standalone. Updates will be every Saturday.

"Say something!" she snapped, eyes burning. "Or are you still playing that 'I'm-too-pure-to-talk' game? Still pretending to be holy?" And that's when Raif moved. Fast. Zariah didn't even have time to blink before her back hit the nearby pillar - not hard, but firm enough to freeze her breath. His hand gripped her waist tightly, the other at her wrist, locking her in place. His chest pressed to hers. His face was inches from hers. His voice was deep. Controlled. But deadly serious. "It's no longer like always, Zariah." Her lips parted. "I used to ignore you because I knew my limits. I'm not like those men who flirt and sin and call it love. I feared Allah more than I ever desired you." His eyes narrowed, dark fire glowing behind them. "I didn't punish you back then because I respect women - even when they spit venom. I kept my mouth shut, not because I was weak... but because you weren't my mahram. I had no right to look at you, touch you, even speak without reason." He leaned closer, and she could feel his breath brush her cheek. "But now..." His grip on her tightened, and her body trembled - not from fear, but from the intensity in his words. "Now you are my wife. Now, you belong to me. Halal. Lawful. Mine." Zariah tried to turn her face away, but he caught her chin, tilting it back to him. "Now I can do anything I want. I can touch you. I can silence your insults without guilt. And I can show you what it means to be owned in a way that'll make you crave it again." His lips brushed her neck, just for a second - before he bit her. Not soft. Not brutal. But just enough to sting, enough to leave a mark. Zariah gasped, frozen. He pulled back just a little. "This-" he said, brushing his thumb over the fresh mark on her neck, "-is the first of many."
