She trusted him more than anyone... and that was her biggest mistake. One accusation. One moment. And everything changed. When the world pointed fingers at her, she waited for him to speak... but he didn't. He chose silence. And she chose to leave. 5 Years later, fate brings them face to face again... but this time, she's not the same girl. And he's not the same boy either. She built a life where no one could question her again. He built a world where no one could refuse him. Two different lives. Two broken hearts. One past that refuses to stay buried. Will they find their way back to each other... or will their past destroy them once again? "You're mine... even if you hate me." 🔥

𝓔𝓵𝓵𝓮𝓻𝔂 𝓜𝓸𝓷𝓽𝓯𝓸𝓻𝓭 has spent years perfecting one thing: despising 𝓑𝓮𝓷𝓮𝓭𝓲𝓬𝓽 𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓭𝓰𝓮𝓻𝓽𝓸𝓷. "𝓘 𝓬𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓭 𝓷𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻 𝓺𝓾𝓲𝓽𝓮 𝓸𝓾𝓽𝓻𝓾𝓷 𝓱𝓲𝓶." "𝓘 𝓷𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻 𝓸𝓷𝓬𝓮 𝓼𝓽𝓸𝓹𝓹𝓮𝓭 𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓼𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓱𝓮𝓻." Ten years away gave her plenty of time to refine the art-hatred is, after all, much easier to maintain long-distance. But when the scandal that drove her family from London forces her back into society, Ellery discovers two rather inconvenient truths: Benedict Bridgerton has grown impossibly charming- and hatred is much harder to maintain face-to-face. One accidental scandal, one very public misunderstanding, and one entirely unplanned engagement later... Ellery finds herself entangled in a life she never wanted- and a man she can no longer pretend to hate. From Ellery's perspective, hatred is the safest mask she has left. But masks crack. And when hers does, Benedict is there to catch her-whether she wants to be caught or not.

If they can stop driving each other insane first.

Years after a childhood friendship faded without a goodbye, Sophia Costa leaves Portugal behind to start a new chapter in London after accepting a job in McLaren's Marketing team. She expects a fresh start, a new career, and the chance to discover the world of Formula 1 from the inside. What she doesn't expect is to come face to face with Oscar Piastri-the boy she used to spend every summer with, the friend she never truly forgot, and the one person she never imagined seeing again. As old memories resurface and unresolved feelings begin to blur the line between past and present, both of them are forced to confront the question they never thought they'd have to answer: what happens when the person you left in the past suddenly becomes part of your future? A story about first loves, second chances, growing up, and discovering that sometimes the people who shape us the most are the ones we leave behind. Inspired by Adele's "When We Were Young", this story is a reminder that some people never really leave us-they simply become memories, waiting for the right moment to return.

A stern father compels Zarrar, 29-year-old surgeon into an arranged marriage with Hana, a 22-year-old student living in London. _________ "Where are you going?" she asked, flat. "Research trip." He tossed a shirt in, didn't look up. "And you're telling me this now?" "It was sudden." She made a noise somewhere between a tut and a laugh. "I do not care. You know what-" She stepped onto the couch, two quick climbs-herself at 5'4" suddenly level with his eyes, all heat and vowels. Here it is. The tongue was indeed ten feet long tonight. He stayed silent, left packing, arms folded over his chest and just stared. Hana doing her job, utterly, with whole rights over him to shout. "There won't be anything for me to be surprised if I wake up someday in the graveyard with mud sprayed over me 'cause my dear husband must have gotten too exasperated by my being, that he- the victim, had to bury me alive while I was asleep." Zarrar swallowed a smile, let her finish, then moved. He stepped in, hands light on her waist, lifted-she squawked, all outrage-then held her over his shoulder as he walked the three strides to the bed. She behaved as if someone unplugged her, forgot how to speak. He set her gently at the edge of the mattress and went down on one knee in front of her, floorboards cool under him. "What do you want me to say now?" "Are you actually asking me this?" Her voice wobbled, anger running out of fuel. "Yeah," he said, and he was smirking now, fond and infuriating. "Any last wishes of my wife before I bury her alive." ________ dive into the story of something very different from soap operas. TROOP ~ choas x cold yapper x listener age gap. doctor's divine
