From Hate to Healing

She used to be the girl who feared no one - the one who spoke first, loved openly, and never apologised for it. Until one night destroyed everything. The world that once welcomed her suddenly judged her, and she learned the hardest lesson of all - loving honestly doesn't always mean being loved back kindly. Years later, Adira lives quietly, far from the girl she used to be. She runs a small café, keeps her distance from people, and trusts no one. Then he walks in. Kabir - the man she once loved... now holding the hand of a two-year-old boy. And the child looks at her like she already belongs in his world. Old wounds reopen. Unspoken truths resurface. And the past refuses to stay buried. Sometimes fate and destiny meet in the most unexpected ways - and second chances come when you least expect them.

Colette: My boyfriend Zac thinks I accidentally crushed on him with a steaming cup of coffee which lead to our many chance encounters that made him realize that I was the perfect girl for him.

This illusion of love as a means to an end, but somewhere while creating this pretense I fell for him. In a perfect world, I could come clean and expect him to forgive me. But this world is f*cked up and I have to continue this ruse. I am too deep in it now to turn back. My final trap is set and I hope he falls for it hook, line, and sinker.

Me, the soon to be a pro footballer who signed a multi million-dollar contract. Me, the son of the Senate who is running for president next term. Me, the grandson and heir of the automobile giant. I found out about her deception as soon as my girlfriend cheated on me. Col thought she is playing me like a fiddle. Nah. I was indulging her to see what she is really up to. I am yet to figure it out. It's not money because Col is the daughter of a billionaire herself. I thought it might be the social status that comes from dating me but she didn't want to go to any parties or social events I asked her to accompany me. Anyway, I am watching her cautiously and it's only a matter of time that I will catch her red-handed in whatever game she is playing. I will make her regret that she dared to cross path with me. I will make a lesson out of her.

Lavender faced the ultimate betrayal after discovering that her fiancé, the man she loved most, had been using her all along. He had only dated her to seek revenge against her father and to claim everything her late mother had left her as a gift to his real fiancee. Devastated, Lavender lost everything she owned to him, and her family was plunged into dire poverty as a result. Heartbroken, she fled her past, running away from her disowned father and the agonizing pain. She dedicated her life to caring for the "blessings" her ex-fiancé had left behind. But just when Lavender thought she had found a measure of peace, everything starts falling apart again. Forced to reconcile with her ex, Lavender is torn-he is a changed man now, but to her, he remains an enemy. As her bottled-up emotions resurface, past cases reopening, and his persistent efforts to win back her affection intensify, how long can Lavender's hatred last? --- This story is significantly different from the original version. It maintains the key plot while changing the outline, fixing as much plot holes as possible, adding new characters, depths, and chapters. I wrote this to better suit the sequel, <It Started With A Kiss>
