I invite You to the world of Deb Storm and Kader Gökyüzü, two broken-hearted souls who had gone through life guarding their broken pieces, all the while hoping to find someone who would mend those pieces together. This story takes place in the beautiful land of Turkey. It begins and ends in the magnificent city of Istanbul...

What lays in the past of a person cannot be changed. It cannot be altered. It cannot be persuaded to disappear into nonexistence. Nor should it. The past is as much a part of a person as the future that is yet to be laid out ahead of them. It is in the days that live in the memory of a person that enable the person to decide who they are and who they still have a chance to become. 

Deb Storm was a perfect example of that...

Hesitant at first, Deb agrees to travel to Cappadoccia with one reluctant yet mysterious travel companion, who soon opens her heart to Turkey's culture, its history, and so much more. All because she chose to honor her lifelong dream to one day stand on the breathtaking isle of Maiden's Tower.

I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Mary Bloyd, @MonicaRita1943 , without whom this story would not have reached its destined spot on paper.

And, to the lady that inspired each and every word of this tale, Çok seni seviyorum❤️.

Scarred For Life by _najeeb_i

"But I want you to understand that it is my job to restore the happiness you lost. I am your husband now, Afrah. And it is my responsibility to make you happy. So that is my mission from now until the end of time." Afrah stared down at her hands, feeling as though her soul was being wrenched from her body. She couldn't look him in the eye. Not after what she had gone through. Not when she still saw the devil in his eyes. * It is said that the most painful wounds leave the deepest scars. No one could attest to that more than Afrah Aminu. For eleven years she's kept a secret to herself, knowing that she might never be able to tell anyone. Not that she wanted to.

As he tears down each and every wall she has set up around her heart, the memories of that haunting night come crashing in waves. Will she be able to survive it?

" I c-can't understand anything," I said slowly. I just wish this comes out to be a fake thing. All of this a joke. I helplessly looked towards him. He was quiet and looked emotionless. I felt scared of his behavior for the first time. This is not true. It can't be. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Briar Eliza Shah or Eliza Joseph is a 19 years old girl - she does have a lot of DARK secrets from the horrible past.

TAUHIDA ✔️ by Deedi--

He turned abruptly to face her, she was already getting on his nerves. "What in the name of Allah is wrong with you?" he asked with a sigh."You don't get me, do you?" he asked again trying to be clear. "It is you that don't get me, if you did, I wouldn't be here in the first place" she voiced narrowing her eyes on him. "Then leave" he seethed glaring directly at her. "Is that a challenge I hear?" she asked holding her waist with both hands. "Take it as you think of it" he voiced walking away majestically. she groaned and murmured softly beneath her breath but it didn't remain unheard to him "He knows I can't, grumpy" she said and he found himself smiling weirdly to no one in particular. ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ Just like scattered stars trying to cluster again, just like the scars trying to heal with love, just like the swirling storm breaking down all bounds and just like the blinking starlight shining on a mirror, this story is also a mirror of life. Cold secrets will be clamped just like the break of dawn. Despite all odds, underneath their ventricles and cuticles is an undying love for each other. Just stay tuned with me so I will prove once again how fate can actually change the hearts of two people, Tauhida Al-amin Borodo and Sayf Hakeem Elnafaty @ "Tauhida". Lots of love Deedi-- ❤️

#3 in General Fiction [17-08-2018] BOOK 2 OF THE HEARTS SERIES. THE FIRST BOOK IN THE SERIES IS RECOMMENDED AS IT WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE SECOND ONE BETTER. _______ "Time has brought me ahead and left you behind. There's so much distance to cover. So much that you'll never reach my heart again. You are gone." Shaking of his head shook her wall. His slow footsteps pounded in her heart. "I will claw your heart, tear it to get inside again," his breath fanned her cheek. Calm tone haunted her soul. "But it won't come to that when I am already there in your stubborn heart." Tears hung at those thick lashes. "My heart doesn't want you. Not anymore." "Your heart lies." His finger slid down her neck. A sinister smile made those tears fall, "And when the heart lies," the finger replaced by a strong fist held the back of her neck. His lips reached barely inches away from hers. "There are consequences." ______ AN INDIAN LOVE STORY
