Zara HowardMy mind was racing as I paced nervously around the room, trying to make sense of this sudden change. How could a man who was adamantly against sharing a bed with me now decide to sleep beside me without any warning? It felt like my emotions were on a rollercoaster ride, and I couldn't help but question my ability to handle this situation.The main question haunting me was: can I survive sleeping beside the man I've had a crush on for over a decade? It's not just a simple crush; it's an intense infatuation, love, and overwhelming attraction that has been brewing inside me for so long.Was I overthinking it? Maybe he's simply tired of sleeping in his comfortable office chair, and his back is hurting. But then again, it seemed like too much of a coincidence that he would choose this moment to reclaim his spot beside me.If only I could read his thoughts, I could understand the real reason behind his decision. But alas, I'm left with my own confusion and swirling emotions.I c
Zara Howard Before I could process what was happening, Asher pulled me in, making me face him as I tried to avoid looking at his beautiful face that made me feel like a schoolgirl talking to her first crush during recess.My heart raced wildly as Asher’s sudden move caught me off guard. In an instant, he pulled me close, and our lips met in a heated kiss that left me breathless. It was as if time stood still, and my world seemed to shatter into a million pieces.I had yearned for this moment for so long, and now that it was happening, my mind was in chaos. I couldn’t form coherent thoughts or articulate my feelings. All I felt was an overwhelming mix of disbelief, desire, and uncertainty, as if I was caught in the throes of a blazing fire.His touch ignited a passionate volcano inside me, and every nerve ending burned with electric sensations. My heart pounded loudly, resonating in my head, my throat, and even in the depths of my soul.Asher’s arms wrapped around my neck, holding me
Zara Howard As the morning light filtered through the curtains, I slowly opened my eyes, finding myself alone in bed. The bed felt cold and empty as the morning breeze brushed against my face.The realization that Asher wasn't beside me tugged at my heart, but I understood that he probably had to work. After all, it was already 11 am, and I had slept a lot, still feeling exhausted from last night's passionate encounter.I stretched my limbs, trying to shake off the remnants of sleep as I sat up in bed. A yawn escaped my lips, and I couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions swirling inside me. On one hand, I felt content and blissful, having finally shared an intimate moment with Asher after years of being completely and hopelessly in love with him. On the other hand, a sense of longing filled me, because I wished that he was still here with me.I decided to get up and face the day. I chose a sweet white dress, hoping it would lift my spirits a little. As I stood in front of the mirro
Asher LancasterAfter Zara departs, I find myself staring blankly at my computer screen. Uncertainty gnaws at me as I ponder whether she’ll say yes or no, but one thing became crystal clear after last night’s encounter—I wanted her to be with me.Zara had left an unforgettable mark on my heart, and I couldn’t fathom living without her now. She had become an integral part of my life, bringing joy and light to what was once a dark and serious existence. Before I met her, I battled with various mental problems, silently suffering in the shadows of my own mind. But since she entered my life, her presence has made me reevaluate my life.Her mere presence had a unique effect on me, effortlessly putting a smile on my face even during moments when I craved to be left alone. There were days when I hated the presence of people around me, yet her absence was something I found myself missing and thinking about.In my line of work, I’m often surrounded by the dark realities of life. But Zara broug
Zara Howard After a long chat with Sienna last night, I felt a mix of relief and surprise. I expected her to use her clever persuasion skills to convince me into agreeing to marry her son, Asher. However, to my delight, she genuinely wanted to understand my thoughts and feelings without pushing her own agenda.Sienna reassured me that Asher had confided in her about everything, and she just wanted to be there for me if I needed someone to talk to. Her support was unexpected, but it made me feel grateful to have her in my life.Despite her sincerity, I remained cautious, knowing that Sienna’s persuasive nature could easily sway my decision. However, as we talked, it became evident that she respected my autonomy and truly wanted me to make a choice that was right for me, even if it meant not marrying her son.Taking her advice to heart, I decided to make a pro and con list after careful consideration of my feelings for Asher and my thoughts about marriage.After last night's events, de

Yeah I know, crazy! I never thought that I’d settle for an arrange marriage but I didn’t mind it right now. I’ve been communicating with my fiancé for a long time now over letters. We met each other when we were kids and played together, but around the age of eleven, he moved schools. A few months ago, we started writing letters to each other and I really started to like
Zara HowardOver the past few days of sharing the room with Asher, there were no romantic advances. Instead, we spent our nights engaged in long conversations until one of us grew too sleepy to keep our eyes open. Sometimes, we'd watch reruns of Seinfeld together, delving into various subplots and laughing together.The surprising part was how quickly Asher and I grew close. It was evident that he had dropped his guard and started sharing personal information willingly, something he hadn't done before. Earlier, it used to be just me telling him things about my life. I was amazed at the level of trust and openness we had developed in such a short time.As the days went by, we found comfort in each other's presence, even during the quiet moments when words weren't necessary. We would sit side by side, reading our favorite books, or simply enjoying each other's company as we listened to soothing music."Hey! I have some good news for you," Asher says, approaching me in the kitchen just a
Zara Howard"Hey Caleb!" I say with a bright smile, relieved to finally catch up with him."Hey Zara, finally! I thought you ghosted me!" he replies playfully as he joins me at the small table for two."Of course not," I respond, but then it hits me that I had read his message and forgotten to reply amidst all the things happening with Asher."Yeah, you did, but I figured you were busy with your mom's health," Caleb says understandingly as he stands a few inches away from me, and a pang of guilt washes over me."Oh, I'm really sorry, Caleb. I did read your message, and I meant to reply, but then something came up, and I thought I had responded," I apologize sincerely, feeling guilty for not getting back to him. "Things have been quite hectic lately, but I promise it wasn't intentional. By the way, how have you been?"Caleb smiles understandingly, his eyes showing empathy. "No worries, Zara. I've been good, just busy with work and all. But enough about me, how's your mom doing? Is she

I hadn’t had proper food for 2 days. My mom, who was a former Miss Universe, controlled my life since I was a child. Nine years ago, when I was only 18 years old, she wanted me to be Miss Universe too but I was the runner up, which angered my mom, so much so that she didn’t let me eat for 5 days as a punishment. People may think, just stop seeing her or block her out of your life. Yeah, easier said than done, right? But now, I am a successful model, and I am
Zara Howard After spending some time admiring the beautiful sunrise with Asher, we headed back to the resort, our hands still intertwined. As we entered the living area, I couldn't contain my excitement and happiness, and my gaze instinctively fell on my left hand, where the sparkling engagement ring now adorned my finger. It was a constant reminder of the beautiful moment Asher and I shared, and I couldn't stop smiling.I couldn’t believe Asher went out of his way to find the ring I wanted and got the exact same one.As we approached the others, Xena and Scarlett were the first to notice the ring. Their eyes widened, and they squealed with delight. "Oh my goodness, Zara! Is that what I think it is?" Xena exclaimed, unable to hide her excitement.I nodded, my heart still fluttering. "Yes, Asher proposed, and I said yes!"The room erupted in cheers and congratulations, and I felt overwhelmed by the love and support from our friends. Scarlett hugged me tightly, her eyes sparkling with
Asher Lancaster I couldn't tear my gaze away from her, sitting next to me, radiating beauty and warmth. Zara was everything I had ever yearned for, and the thought of a life without her seemed unfathomable. She brought colors to my world that I didn't know existed, filling my days with joy, love, and excitement.As much as I cherished her, I understood Zara's concerns about her mother accepting our relationship, given my family background. I didn't want anything to hinder our love, so I took matters into my own hands. The moment I knew I wanted to marry her, I sought help from Xena and Scarlett to arrange a meeting with her mother.The conversation was challenging, but I was determined to prove the authenticity of my feelings for Zara and my commitment to her happiness. After a heartfelt discussion, her mother finally gave her blessing, and a weight lifted off my shoulders. With her approval, I knew deep in my heart that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Zara, and I was read
Zara Howard I woke up in Asher's bed, feeling a mix of euphoria and contentment. The memories of last night's passion flooded my mind, making me blush even in the solitude of the room. The enticing aroma of pancakes reached my nose, pulling me out of my reverie and reminding me of the delightful breakfast Asher must have ordered through room service.Unable to resist my hunger, I sat up with a smile and noticed the tray of pancakes waiting for me on the nearby table. It was as if Asher knew exactly what I needed after a night like that. I reached for a plate and eagerly dug into the fluffy goodness, savoring each delectable bite. I love maple syrup.Just as I was enjoying my breakfast, Asher emerged from the bathroom, clad in only a towel around his waist. The sight of him made my heart skip a beat, and I couldn't help but stare in awe at his captivating presence."Good morning, doll," he greeted me with a tender smile, his eyes filled with warmth."Morning," I replied, trying not to
Zara HowardI wanted to go back to Xena and pour my heart out, but I knew that wouldn't resolve the situation. Instead, I had to confront Asher and address the confusion between us. Why would he kiss me and spend so much time with me if he was engaged to Annika?With a deep breath to steady my nerves, I made my way back to our room, hoping to have a conversation with Asher and find some clarity. However, upon entering the room, I discovered it empty, and Annika was nowhere to be found. This only added to my frustration, as I wanted a chance to speak to Asher privately.Deciding to wait for his return, I felt a mix of anger and hurt building inside me. When Asher finally walked through the door, I couldn't contain my emotions any longer. "Asher, we need to talk!" I exclaimed, my voice filled with a mix of anger and sadness.He seemed surprised by my outburst, but he didn't shy away from the conversation. "Okay, Zara, what's going on?" he asked, trying to remain composed."Why did you k
Zara Howard As I walked back to the room that I was fairly certain Asher and I were sharing, I tried to process everything that had happened. Taking a deep breath, I reminded myself to take things slow with Asher, even though my impulsive nature urged me to dive in headfirst. I knew rushing into a serious commitment could jeopardize my dream of having kids before turning 30, and I wanted to avoid any potential regrets.Deep down, a nagging fear persisted. What if Asher eventually realized he didn't want a future with me? I didn't want to be blindsided after making lifelong commitments or having children together. It would be better to address any doubts or uncertainties now, even if it meant confronting my fears.Arriving at room 202, my heart pounded in my chest. I needed to talk to Asher, to share my thoughts about taking things slow. I knew I couldn't ignore these feelings any longer. What if he didn't share the same desire to take it slow? Would he understand my apprehensions?As
Zara HowardFiji was an absolute paradise, a destination that felt like it was straight out of a dream. As we landed, the sheer beauty of the island mesmerized me. Pristine white-sand beaches met turquoise waters that sparkled under the sunlight. The lush tropical vegetation that surrounded us emitted a sweet, fragrant scent, adding to the enchantment of Fiji. Here, time seemed to slow down, and all my worries faded away in this magical setting.Throughout our stay, Asher and I were practically inseparable. From the moment we left the flight and headed to the resort, walking hand in hand as others followed, to sharing laughter over inside jokes, we were constantly drawn to each other. The connection between us felt so effortless that I couldn't help but hold his hand or hug him without even realizing it. It seemed like an unspoken understanding that we were meant to be together, and I couldn't deny the undeniable chemistry between us.I knew that the trip organizers intentionally pair
Zara Howard As Asher and I settled into the cozy living room, I realized the need for a private conversation with Scarlett. I regretted not being more open with both Scarlett and Xena about everything that had happened—the proposal, my decision to decline, and even the incident with Caleb and Asher.In hindsight, I should have kept them informed about everything going on. I felt frustrated with myself for not communicating properly with them. While I was captivated watching the joyous couple in front of me, Asher tapped me on the shoulder, pulling me back to the present moment. Seeing Scarlett so happy with Xander made my heart swell with happiness for her. It's incredible how they found each other unexpectedly.As they playfully intertwined their hands, I contemplated how my life might have been different if I had said yes to Asher and let go of my insecurities. The thought lingered in my mind as Asher settled beside me on the couch, and I cherished the warmth of his presence."So,
Zara Howard "I can't believe you threatened my friend for no reason. You can't go around doing that, Asher," I scold him angrily as we make our way towards his mansion after a long day at the office."I didn't threaten him, I was just being honest with my feelings, and he got scared on his own," Asher defends himself innocently, but I see right through his act and continue to glare at him."Don't play innocent. You know exactly what you were doing. Let me make one thing clear, Asher Lancaster, if you ever threaten another friend of mine, you'll regret it," I warn him sternly, not willing to tolerate any more of his games. Surprisingly, he raises his hands in defeat, barely arguing with me."Alright, I'll keep that in mind. But for now, I have a surprise waiting for you inside," he says, trying to divert my attention, but I can't help but remain curious about what awaits me as he opens the main door.I take a moment to compose myself before facing whatever awaits inside. The evening s
