Naina looked up at her husband, her eyes brimming with tears. She wished she could just wake up from this nightmare."It's okay, Naina. I'm here for you. I'll help you move on from him. It's okay," Zayne comforted her, drawing closer. "I'm going to kiss you, okay?"She nodded slowly, feeling his unfamiliar lips against hers and his hands on her waist. But she felt nothing; her body had gone numb.All she wanted was Advik, her Advik, and no one else. Her mind drifted back to their last conversation-it had been so frantic. She had asked him to promise her something so important."Promise me that no matter what happens, our love, our relationship, meant something. Promise me you won't go back to who you were before we met. Promise me you'll stay strong, be brave, and keep moving forward," she had pleaded.And he had replied, "There's no life for me without you, Nia"But here she was now, in someone else's arms, trying to rebuild a life from scratch."Stop," she said firmly, and he immediately pulled back, unlike Advik, who always needed a few reminders before he'd listen. She wondered if that had been passion or disrespect?Advik reassured her, "Everything will be okay. We are going to be okay." She peered into his gentle, caring eyes but she couldn't see his soul the way she could see Advik's. A heavy sigh escaped her lips; all her tears were spent. The epic romance had come to an end. No fairy tale ending for them._____________________________________________"Do you not deserve my love, Naina?

Maybe I'll unpublish later.If you are reading this, it's not in any particular order. It's what I'm writing now and also what I've written before that I type in from papers I've written them on.

Asfia's gaze lingered on her husband, a man who possessed all the qualities she'd ever dreamt of: tall, handsome, and unfailingly kind-a true gentleman. Yet, beneath his perfect exterior, she sensed a profound sadness, his eyes devoid of light.This was an arranged marriage, she reminded herself, and love couldn't be rushed. He provided for her, granting her every wish, yet an unspoken question lingered-was material comfort enough?Faisal, in his own silent contemplation, had accepted the marriage to Asfia, a recent graduate from a dental college. It had been his parents' wish, and he had gone along with it, almost apathetic to the outcome. His heart, once given entirely to Fiza, had been broken, leaving him emotionally empty. Love had become synonymous with pain, and he harbored no desire to endure such hurt again."Look at me," Asfia thought, "I'm right here."…

Fiza woke up smiling. Last night had been everything she had dreamt it would be. She had lost her virginity to her best friend. Now her boyfriend, hopefully? She had to talk to him.She walked up to the bathroom and found him shaving. She smiled at his reflection. He looked adorable with foam clinging on to his dimpled chin."What?" He sneered at her. Her heart was beating fast. What was wrong? Did he not want this? Did he not want her?"I... I just wanted to talk to you about last night." She said in a voice that didn't seem to belong to her.He turned around and looked her full in the face. "There is nothing to talk about. You wanted to be fucked and I fucked you. Don't make it out to be bigger than it is."She stood there staring at him for a few minutes. She felt like the air had gone out of her lungs. He didn't mean that. He couldn't mean that. He had told her that he had loved her. He had even said "forever".He continued shaving and refused to look at her. She wanted to shake him, she wanted to hold him, to kiss him. She wanted to tell him that she knew he didn't mean that. But did she really know that? Had everything he had said he felt for her, ended when he finally got her? Had this been a long and convoluted game to get her to sleep with him?A pathetic sound between a sob and a scream escaped her lips. She turned around and ran. She didn't care that she had nothing on but his shirt. She was sore from last night and it hurt to move. But she had to get away from here. She had to get away from him."This is what you get for breaking the rules" said a nasty voice in her head. "This is what you deserve."…

My review of your book is my opinion. I only review books that I've read enough of to understand it's tone and general plot. I find it difficult to read books with grammatical errors and problems with sentence structure. So I will not be able to progress and hence will not review them. If you make a reading request, I may or may not check it out based on my interest. Most of my reviews are on books that were read for reads that I particularly enjoyed. I am primarily on wattpad to write. So my reviews will be few and far between. I am also on Instagram as lostlovefairy_author. Comment if you want a reel on your book (only if I have reviewed it here) I hope this is a pleasant experience for us all.And do check out my books!…
