The One For Me
Romance
Chapter 1: Fateful Encounter
The warm sunshine cast a golden glow over the bustling streets of Lagos. The smell of freshly baked bread wafted through the air, enticing passersby to stop and sample the local delicacies. Amidst the vibrant atmosphere, two strangers were about to cross paths in a chance encounter that would change their lives forever.
Ada, a stunning 25-year-old with piercing brown eyes and raven-black hair, hurried down the sidewalk. Her heels clicked against the pavement as she rushed to meet a potential client for her graphic design business. Lost in thought, she didn't notice the handsome stranger standing in front of her until they collided.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Ada exclaimed, as her papers and designs went flying in all directions.
The stranger, a chiseled 28-year-old with bright blue eyes and a charming smile, quickly bent down to help her gather the scattered papers. "It's my fault," he said, his deep voice sending a shiver down Ada's spine. "I should have watched where I was going."
As they both stood up, Ada couldn't help but notice the way the stranger's eyes crinkled at the corners when he smiled. She felt an inexplicable spark of attraction, which she quickly brushed off as mere curiosity.
"I'm Ada," she said, extending her hand.
"Kai," the stranger replied, his handshake firm and warm.
As they parted ways, Ada couldn't shake off the feeling that their chance encounter was only the beginning of something.
Chapter 2: Hidden Emotions
Days turned into weeks, and Ada found herself thinking about Kai more often than she cared to admit. She tried to focus on her graphic design business, but her mind kept wandering back to their chance encounter.
One evening, as she was working on a project, her phone buzzed with an unexpected text from Kai. "Hey Ada, hope you're doing well. Would love to grab coffee and catch up sometime?"
Ada's heart skipped a beat as she hesitated over her response. She hadn't expected to hear from him again, but a part of her was excited at the prospect of seeing him again.
"Hey Kai, I'd love to grab coffee sometime," she replied, trying to sound casual.
As they made plans to meet, Ada couldn't help but wonder what had prompted Kai to reach out. Was it just a friendly gesture, or was there something more behind his invitation?
Chapter 3: Love in Bloom
Their coffee date turned into a leisurely stroll through the park, with Kai sharing stories about his job as a writer and Ada opening up about her passion for graphic design.
As the sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the landscape, Ada felt a sense of ease and comfort in Kai's presence. It was as if they had known each other for years, not just minutes.
Kai walked her home, his hand brushing against hers as they strolled side by side. Ada's heart fluttered at the touch, and she knew she was in trouble.
As they stood outside her apartment, Kai turned to her with a smile. "I had a great time today, Ada. Would you like to do it again sometime soon?"
Ada's nod was enthusiastic, and Kai's eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled. "I'll call you tomorrow," he said, his voice low and husky.
As Ada watched him walk away, she felt a sense of excitement and trepidation. She knew she was falling for Kai, hard and fast. But was she ready to open her heart to love again?
Chapter 4: Shadows of the Past
As Kai and Ada's relationship deepened, the shadows of their past began to surface. Ada's fear of commitment stemmed from a painful breakup in her past, while Kai's reluctance to open up was rooted in a family tragedy.
One evening, as they sat on the beach watching the stars, Kai shared his story with Ada. His voice cracked with emotion as he spoke about the loss of his parents in a tragic accident.
Ada listened, her heart aching with compassion. She realized that Kai's tough exterior hid a deep well of pain and vulnerability.
As they hugged, the tension between them was palpable. Ada knew she had to confront her own demons if she wanted to move forward with Kai.
Chapter 5: Forever and Always
Ada took a deep breath and shared her own story with Kai. She spoke about the breakup that had left her heart shattered, and the fear of commitment that had held her back.
Kai listened, his eyes filled with empathy and understanding. When she finished, he took her hand and looked into her eyes.
"I'm not going anywhere, Ada," he said, his voice filled with conviction. "I want to be with you, to support you and love you for who you are."
Ada's heart swelled with emotion as she realized that Kai was the one she wanted to spend forever with.
Chapter 6: Happily Ever After
A year later, Kai took Ada to the same beach where they had shared their stories. He got down on one knee, pulled out a small box, and asked the question that would change their lives forever.
"Ada, will you marry me?"
Tears of joy streaming down her face, Ada nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, yes, a million times You might like

His Innocent Obsession
Estelle Hayes Isla Hart has spent her entire life protected from the truth. Sheltered in the cold, opulent mansion her father built with wealth stained by secrets, she has never known the world outside the safety of her gilded cage. She's been raised in the comfort of ignorance-her innocence preserved like a precious gem, untouched by the horrors lurking just beneath the surface. But nothing lasts forever.
Her father, a man with debts deeper than anyone knows, has been in the claws of a dangerous criminal syndicate for years. And now, with everything collapsing around him, he makes an unthinkable decision to save himself: he will auction off his daughter's virginity to the highest bidder. The price of her body is nothing compared to the price of her father's survival.
At twenty-one, Isla is thrust into a world she never knew existed-one where power and corruption reign, and she is nothing more than a transaction, a pawn in a game she doesn't understand. An underground auction, hidden in the dark corners of New York's criminal elite, will determine her fate. But as the bidding begins, there's one man who stands out from the rest.
Vincenzo "Vince" Moretti is not like the others.
A mafia don who commands respect through bloodshed and fear, Vince is a man who has made his fortune off ruthlessness. At thirty-seven, he has built an empire that stretches across continents, feared by everyone who dares cross him. Cruel, cold, and indifferent, Vince has never allowed weakness to cloud his judgment. But when his eyes land on Isla, everything shifts. She is an innocent, untouched by the darkness of the world he controls. She's everything he shouldn't want, but something about her purity calls to him.
Vince outbids every man in the room, securing Isla as his own. She is no longer just a piece of property for sale-she is now his possession. A contract signed in blood, a life bound by the chains of obligation, desire, and power.
To Isla, the world as she knew it shatters. Her father's debts are wiped clean in exchange for her innocence, but in the cold, unyielding world of Vince's mafia empire, she is now nothing more than a beautiful hostage-trapped in a life of submission. But with Vince, things are different. He is cruel to everyone else, manipulative and tyrannical in his dealings. Yet, when it comes to Isla, there's a strange gentleness. A possessive tenderness. He keeps her close, under his watchful eye, as if she's a rare, delicate thing that no one else can touch.
But his protection comes at a price.
Vince will not let her go. He will mold her, shape her, and possess her in ways she never thought possible. With every passing day, the line between desire and control blurs. Vince isn't just taking her body-he wants her heart, her mind, her soul. And as the days turn to weeks, Isla finds herself torn between survival and submission. She is drawn to him in a way she cannot escape, yet terrified of what she's becoming.
But a storm is coming.
Luca Santoro-Vince's former ally, now his deadliest rival-has been waiting for a weakness. A crack in Vince's otherwise unbreakable armor. And he has found it in Isla.
Luca knows that Vince's obsession with Isla is his greatest vulnerability. He will stop at nothing to break her spirit and use her to bring Vince to his knees. His plan is simple: destroy Vince's empire by destroying Isla. Luca doesn't just want to own Isla-he wants to destroy what she means to Vince, and he will stop at nothing to make her his.
The clock is ticking.
As the tension between Vince and Luca escalates, Isla's world becomes even more dangerous. The mafia's brutal games are no longer just about loyalty and power-they're about survival. But the deeper Isla falls into Vince's world, the more she realizes that the man who controls everything around her is also controlling her heart. She cannot leave him, yet she knows that staying might cost her everything.
Is she willing to lose herself in a man who sees her as both a possession and a passion?
In a world where love and pain collide, Isla must decide if she can find freedom in submission or if her innocence will be the very thing that destroys her
