 The night I met him, the sky was crying harder than I was. The breakup had been ugly one of those that left you hollow, like someone had carved out the center of your chest and forgotten to put it back. I had spent hours inside a little café near the bus station, staring at my untouched cup of tea until the waitress stopped asking if I wanted a refill. By the time I stepped outside, the storm had broken. Rain poured from the heavens in sheets, drenching the streets, blurring the glow of the lampposts into watercolor streaks. I didn’t even have an umbrella. Maybe part of me wanted the storm to wash me away, to soak me until no one could tell the difference between raindrops and tears. I walked, numb and directionless, clutching my bag to my chest. And then, through the veil of rain, a dark figure approached—tall, steady, holding an umbrella. “You’ll catch a cold out here,” he said, his voice deep but gentle, carrying over the storm. I stopped. A stranger stood before me, his hair d...

 The first time I met Ethan, I didn’t know he would ruin me. It was summer, the kind of humid afternoon that made the air feel heavy and restless. I was in Lily’s room—my best friend since we were ten—painting our nails a shade of bubblegum pink while she complained about her phone battery dying. Then the front door slammed downstairs. “That’s my brother,” Lily muttered, not looking up. “He’s back from college. Don’t mind him.” I almost didn’t. But then he walked into the room. And suddenly, minding him was impossible. He leaned against the doorframe like he had all the time in the world. Dark hair damp from the rain, quiet eyes that seemed to notice too much, a faint smirk tugging at his lips. “You’re still painting your nails like middle school,” he teased Lily. “Shut up, Ethan,” she snapped, tossing a pillow at him. But he didn’t even look at her. His gaze flicked to me for half a second—steady, unreadable. That was all it took. Something inside me shifted, like a door I didn’t ...

  Emma Blake had always loved the quiet corners of the city. On Saturday mornings, she would stroll through the cobbled streets, notebook in hand, searching for inspiration for her writing. Her favorite spot, however, was a small riverside café called The Willow. Its wooden tables and soft jazz music made it feel like home. One chilly morning in October, Emma pushed open the café door and was greeted by the comforting scent of fresh coffee. She chose her usual table by the window, where she could watch the river ripple beneath the golden sunlight. As she settled with her cappuccino and notebook, she noticed someone across the room. A man was sitting alone, sketching on a pad, completely absorbed in his work. He had a calm presence—brown hair falling slightly over his forehead, and green eyes that reflected a quiet intensity. Emma felt a strange pull toward him, though she didn’t know why. She sipped her coffee, pretending to focus on her writing, but her eyes kept drifting toward h...

  The Whitford mansion was a world of chandeliers, white marble, and people who never looked maids in the eye. And that was where Elena lived — in the background. Cleaning up after parties, folding shirts worth more than her salary, and moving like a shadow. Until Noah Whitford, the only son of the billionaire, came home from London. He wasn’t what she expected. Not loud or arrogant — but quiet, calm, always observing. And worst of all… he noticed her. It started with small things. “You missed a corner,” he’d say, pointing with a smile. She would blush and mumble, “Sorry, sir.” One day, he left a cup half full on purpose, only to sit across the room and watch her reaction when she cleaned it. He didn’t speak — just smiled when their eyes met. > She was the maid. He was the heir. They weren’t supposed to speak, let alone feel something. But it kept happening. One rainy afternoon, she slipped on the kitchen tiles. He was there in seconds, holding her up. “You okay?” he asked, voic...

 Aria Davis had once been just a name hidden in the registry of a courthouse. No photos, no ceremonies, no white dress. Just a signature on a paper — and she became Mrs. Damien Hart. But nobody knew. Not the media. Not his billion-dollar company. Not even his family. Because Damien Hart — the tech mogul everyone wanted to marry — had only one rule: “Privacy is protection.” Aria had met Damien when she was a college barista. He’d ordered coffee every morning, always dressed in black, always staring at his phone. One day, he forgot his wallet. She smiled and said, “It’s on the house.” The next morning, he returned with flowers, and a small smile that changed everything. Their connection was fast and quiet. After six months of secret dates, late-night drives, and stolen weekends, he proposed — not with a ring, but with a contract and a promise. > “If I marry you in the spotlight, they’ll destroy you. But if you trust me, we can build something away from all that.” And Aria had trus...

Rose had never stepped into a mansion until she got the job as a maid at the famous Maxwell Estate. With her mother ill and bills piling up, she had no choice but to accept whatever came her way — even if it meant serving a family who lived in a different world from hers. The Maxwell family was the richest in the city. Their empire stretched across fashion, tech, and real estate. Every corner of their mansion gleamed with luxury, and every room whispered the stories of untold wealth. But Rose kept her head down and focused on her job. She wasn’t here to be impressed — she was here to survive. That was until he came home. Liam Maxwell, the only son of the billionaire, had returned from studying abroad. The mansion buzzed with rumors about him — how he was cold, hard to please, and always traveled with bodyguards. But when Rose first saw him, standing at the top of the grand staircase with his suitcase in hand and a furrowed brow, she didn’t see a spoiled brat. She saw a man who looked… ...
