Maya Jenkins has built a life on her own terms. After being abandoned by her father at a young age and betrayed by a man she once loved, Maya has little faith in the concept of true love. But one lonely Saturday night, against her usual instincts, she downloads SoulLink—a new dating app designed to match people based on more than just physical attraction. When she matches with a man named “Ash,” she starts to wonder if she’s been too quick to write off the possibility of something real. Asher Reed is no stranger to living behind a mask. By day, he is the powerful CEO of NovaSpire, the cutting-edge tech company he inherited from his demanding father. By night, he sheds his corporate persona and anonymously tests SoulLink, a product his company has developed. What he doesn’t expect is Maya—a woman who challenges him with her passionate and authentic personality. For the first time in years, he feels seen—not as the CEO or the broken man his ex-fiancée left behind, but as himself. As their connection deepens, so does their vulnerability. Maya’s long-standing trust issues clash with Asher’s secret identity, and their growing bond is threatened by the arrival of past figures— Asher’s manipulative former fiancée. With each revelation, the digital space where they first met becomes a battleground for truth, betrayal, and the complicated pull of their emotions. In a world where identities can be easily manipulated and love is often elusive, Maya and Asher must confront their pasts, their fears, and the choices that will either bind them together or tear them apart. Can they overcome the ghosts of their history and the secrets they’ve kept from each other? Or will their insecurities and unresolved scars lead them down separate paths?

After I bought my new home outright, my relatives organized a housewarming party to celebrate. During dinner, my nephew Leo suddenly said, “You’re just a spinster living alone in a huge apartment. What do you need all that space for? I happen to be getting married soon. That’s a huge deal. You should transfer the place to me. I’ll even cover the transfer fee.” I was stunned. “Are you out of your mind?” His mother Linda said, “How can you be so ungrateful? Him using your place for his newlywed life is doing you a favor. It’ll bring you good luck! Other people would jump at the chance!” The son and mother were united against me. “Anyway, tomorrow’s a great day. Grab the property deed and come with us to transfer ownership!” I rejected them without hesitation and called them crazy. Who knew they would get so furious that they would storm into my brand-new apartment and go on a rampage, smashing everything in sight. They even said smugly, “We need to show you our family doesn’t get pushed around! Go ahead and call the police! What proof do you even have that it was us?” What they did not know was that I had installed surveillance cameras on the day I moved in.

********* « Es-tu vraiment venu ici pour me dire que tu étais avec une autre femme avec laquelle tu as couché et que tu as mise enceinte ? » « Quoi ? » C’est Timothée qui parle, sa voix laisse transparaître son choc alors que son regard passe de moi à Kaïs. Le regard habituellement impassible de Kaïs reste le même, comme s’il n’était pas affecté par mes paroles et la douleur qu’il m’a causée. « Ne faisons pas ça ici, Lucie. Tu sais que je ne peux pas simplement la laisser. » Je ricane. « Je ne t’en ai jamais empêché. Tu sais quoi ? Tu n’aurais jamais dû venir ici. Tu aurais dû rester avec elle puisque c’est là où se trouve ta loyauté maintenant et que je ne suis plus dans le jeu. » Kaïs fronce les sourcils, s’approche et m’intimide un peu avec sa taille et son imposante carrure : « Qu’est-ce que cela veut dire ? Tu es ma femme. » « Ex-femme, » je dis ces mots sans même y réfléchir. Je n’ai pas pensé à tout ça mais je m’en moque car tout mon être semble être d’accord sur le fait que c’est le mieux pour moi. « Je veux un divorce, Kaïs. » Ses yeux s’écarquillent, incapables de contenir le choc face à mes paroles, et je suis fière de moi, d’avoir finalement obtenu une réaction qui n’est ni de la colère ni de la froideur. « Les papiers de divorce et ma démission te parviendront bientôt. » J’ajoute avant qu’il ne puisse se remettre de son choc, et je n’attends pas qu’il réponde tandis que je me tourne vers Timothée, qui est tout aussi stupéfait. « Ramène-moi chez moi, Timothée. »
