Masana had not expected to meet anyone that night. She has come to her best friend Imani and Enzo's wedding simply to celebrate the couple; temporarily stepping away from her studies and the responsibilities of her everyday life. Masana felt comfortable enough to let herself enjoy the beautiful evening without overthinking what was to come next. A brief encounter which meant nothing. And later a circumstance which later brought them together in conversation. What Masana did not know was that the man she had met at the wedding would soon become a reason she looked at her Summer in Capri; her future and even herself in a completely different way.

Dear Italy, I came here for the summer. Two months. That's all I had. Two months to wander through streets I'd never seen before, taste food I couldn't pronounce, get hopelessly lost, take too many pictures, and fill the pages of a journal with memories I hoped I'd never forget. I wasn't looking for anything more. Especially not love. Hannah Jane Brooks is twenty-one, American, and ready for an adventure. With two months of freedom ahead of her, she leaves everything familiar behind and travels to Italy with one simple goal: to experience as much of life as she possibly can. From charming little cafés and bustling markets to beautiful coastlines, historic cities, unexpected train rides, and evenings beneath the Italian sun, Hannah quickly discovers that the best moments are often the ones she never planned. And then there's Luca Marco Rinaldi. He's not a prince, a billionaire, or some mysterious stranger with a dangerous secret. He's just a local guy who works at his grandmother's little pasta restaurant-and somehow, he keeps finding his way into Hannah's summer. What begins with a plate of pasta and a few awkward conversations slowly becomes friendship. Friendship becomes something neither of them expected. And before Hannah realizes it, the summer she came to Italy to remember becomes the summer she may never be able to forget. Because sometimes, you travel halfway across the world looking for an adventure. . . and find a person instead.

"Chapters of Fate #1" It was love at first sight for him. Not for her perhaps, but he could slowly see her opening up to him. Carlos Ellordi had never imagined finding love in Bangladesh; a country he sought out for nothing but temporary escape. And yet, fate favoured him in such a way that he ended up finding solace in Maya Ray; a young, 22 year old woman, who bumped into him and nearly ripped off a chunk of his skin, but also a bit of his heart at first sight. More and more time spent together, and yet Carlos wished for the time to slow down. So he could count every smile, every word, every laugh, and every moment until they got engraved into his soul. And it did. Until years later, when mysteries surrounding her family started to unravel slowly, piece by piece in such a way that it made him question everything he knew about her. ........................................ "You'll love me forever, right?" "Yes," I promised her, my breath mingling with hers as I neared closer. "Until however long we have, until the wrinkles on our skin speak more than words." "Promise me that nothing will ever change what we have between us." She insisted, grabbing on to my collar, pulling me closer as her voice tethered close to yearning. "Nothing at all." "Never, my love." When we met, I considered it fate. But sometimes we fail to understand that fate backstabs us more than a living, breathing enemy. And by the time you realize it, the silent humiliation ritual is already completed.
