Luke sat behind the wheel of his car, driving his fiancée, Fiona, to their university. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, Fiona was one of the richest girls on campus, and she was his fiancée. He wanted to make a good impression on her and her friends. As they pulled up to the university gates, Fiona's friends were already there, waiting for her. They were all dressed in designer clothes and expensive jewelry, laughing and chatting loudly. Fiona's smile faded when she saw Luke's old car, which was not as shiny and flashy as her friends' cars. "Luke, can't you drive a decent car?" she said, rolling her eyes. The other girls giggled and snickered, and Luke felt his cheeks flush with embarrassment. Fiona's friends were quick to follow her lead and started making fun of his clothes, his car, and his manners. They teased him about being poor and being unworthy of Fiona's love. Luke felt a pang of hurt in his chest. He had always known that Fiona came from a wealthy family, but he had never expected her to be so cruel. He had thought that their love was based on something deeper than material possessions.

Luthando wakes up in the cramped shack he shares with his mother and younger sister, Ayanda. The chapter paints a vivid picture of Alexandra — the chaos, noise, dreams, and despair.

A small injustice — being dismissed rudely by a wealthy business owner — ignites something deep inside him.

Beneath the streets of New York, the city hums with unseen life. Aidan Wolfe works the hours most people forget, repairing the subway lines that carry millions above his head. Once a firefighter, now a man who keeps his head down, Aidan measures his days in the steady rhythm of trains and the hiss of machinery. He doesn’t talk much. He doesn’t need to. The tunnels don’t ask questions. But the city does — in small ways. In every echo, in every light that flickers back to life, in every stranger who reminds him that silence can only last so long. Beneath the City Lights is a story about endurance, the dignity of work, and the quiet humanity found in forgotten places. It’s not about escape. It’s about learning how to stay.

Even the coldest heart would soon grow warm if she kept holding on to it. That was what she believed. That was why she became his unloved placeholder of a wife. Unfortunately, all her devotion only led to a heartless divorce. “She’s awake now,” he told her. “Step down and step away, you miserable knock-off.”Then, he left. When he came back, it was because he needed her to do something only an impostor could do: go to jail for his dream girl’s crime. Deirdre McKinnon was condemned to perdition.

Two years later, she found herself another man, but when Brendan Brighthall met her by pure happenstance, a new feeling was born in his heart: jealousy. There were no means too terrible, no scheme too underhanded—not if it meant he’d possess Deirdre’s heart again. And yet, she simply refused to love him anymore.“What do you want me to do, Deirdre McKinnon?! What must I do to go back to the good old days?” His eyes turned red. “I’ll give you everything I have!”“You gave me a copper trinket two years ago. It was a sorry excuse for a wedding ring, and yet I cared for it as though it was the most precious jewel in the world…“But now? Nothing you can give would be even remotely worthwhile. Not even you.”
