"Bridget Jones with a lot more wine! This story is hilarious, feel-good and relatable in all the best ways!" - Grace K @ HQ. She's just quit her high-flying job, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Can Alice find a sense of purpose in the wreckage? ***** Alice's life isn't going to plan. She's tied to her phone, pointlessly managing PR for a sinking corporate megalith. She's become a bit player in her kids' lives, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Forcing herself into action with a rash resignation, Alice sets out to make a positive impact on the world around her. But how? Meditation leads to napping, and her attempts to get closer to her teenage daughter result in the discovery of a secret that leaves her at a loss. As the months tick by and a sense of purpose continues to elude her, Alice finds herself forming bonds with the most unlikely characters: the young woman who panhandles outside her old office; the homeless boy who sits cross-legged outside the liquor store with his ginger cat; her own dog walker who, it turns out, knows a thing or two about developing a good crema. Testing the limits of marriage, motherhood and the Toronto subway system -- can Alice find her way into a purpose-driven life? Or will it all be one giant hangover?

It might seem as though not much time has passed since Runway was saved. Everyone did their job impeccably, but time couldn't be stopped, and fate forced us to adapt to the new rules of the game. My job at Runway was supposed to last for a while, but I stuck it out until these changes came about - they arrived suddenly, but everyone had been feeling them for some time. My name is Andy Sachs, and this story isn't about me, but about how one person wants to play the fashion world by their own rules... And that's where the problem begins.

Have you ever met someone so irritating you could not let go? Maya did.

A man who opened the door to a chance Maya could not afford to ignore, even if it meant placing herself under his rules. Kai's authority is Maya's weakness, creating a distraction in the workspace. Their shared moments are driven by never-ending lust, bringing the spark back to their lives, slowly burning down Maya's earned reputation and chance of greater future.

With twenty thousand followers on Instagram, a growing travel vlog channel on YouTube, and trips across Asia documenting food, culture, and hidden destinations, Raenerys Cortez is slowly building a name in the travel content world. She's not a superstar and she's not extremely famous, but she's happy that she's achieving her dream step by step, traveling to different places and sharing them with others. Even though she has only visited a few countries so far, some people already recognize her from time to time. She's already happy with that. But she would be even happier if more people watched her videos, which is why she truly puts effort into her vlogs. Until the day came. She was invited to a luxury brand event in Manila. She isn't really fond of fancy social gatherings and big crowds, but for the sake of her vlogging channel, she needed to attend. Besides, it would be a waste to miss the opportunity. She might even get sponsorships or partnerships there. She has always dreamed of that. Until she accidentally and literally trips into Elian Ruiz Liu. Yep, that Elian Ruiz Liu. The internationally famous runway model with millions of fans, luxury campaigns, and a reputation that follows him everywhere. All it takes is one perfectly framed photo, and boom!

To control the rumors and protect their reputations, both of their teams come up with a solution: fake the relationship. Just for three months. "It's only acting," they said. But the longer they pretend for the cameras, the harder it becomes to remember where the act ends. Because falling in love was never part of the plan. But the internet already believes their love story. And sometimes... the most convincing lies are the ones that start feeling real.

······················•✦•······················ Michael had never liked photoshoots. He hated the way cameras always seemed to turn him into a product rather than a person. But the moment he stepped into the New York studio of a French photographer, something felt different.

Copyright © 2024. A not-so-straightforward love story. The saying "opposites attract" is used to say that people who are very different from each other, in terms of personality or interests are often drawn to each other. The said saying describes two hearts; Khalil Ahmad Sambo and Ameera Bukar Babangida. Khalil Ahmad Sambo, a civil engineer full of optimism, an outgoing individual with a benign aura. He is the man who wears his heart on his sleeve, and his smile is the most visible part. Yet, his standards and values are unwavering when necessary. Ameera Babangida, a reserved, ambivalent, and determined young adult with a pretty normal life, surrounded by loving family and friends and working at a well-known company as an architect, her life is simple. One could say that she rarely, or never even pays attention to anything outside her career and family. Until a trip to Kaduna changed everything in her own little bubble for her. But what if that saying goes beyond the two? Started: 6|10|24 Completed:
