Selina is born as the illegitimate daughter of the prestigious Everett family and cast out into a harsh world, left to survive alone.

Living in disguise to blend in and escape the shadow of her stained reputation, she tries to lead an ordinary life. Somewhere along the way, she falls in love at first sight with a young man. But her feelings remain a secret—tucked away quietly—until he leaves overseas, and she’s left yearning for his return.

And so, she waits.

Three years later, her secret crush returns and Selina believes this is her chance to finally share her feelings.
At his welcome-back banquet, a twist of fate leads them into a one-night stand. But Zane doesn’t return as the man she once admired—he comes back cold, distant, and utterly ruthless.

This time, he carries revenge in his heart—against her father, the Everett family, and Selina herself. As the storm of his vengeance erupts, Selina finds her world collapsing, left isolated and shattered while trying to protect her father.

And then fate deals its cruellest hand.

Selina discovers she’s pregnant with Zane’s child. She doesn’t want the baby—but Zane insists it must be born. Seeing a way to end his all-consuming revenge, Selina proposes a deal with Zane.

With her feelings buried deep, Selina begins a journey through pregnancy, healing, and reclaiming her identity—navigating secrets, betrayals and the tangled legacy of her family.

Note: This is a slow-burn romance, not a dark romance. There’s no abuse, rape, or cheating between the main couples.

I hope you enjoy and support Selina's journey ಠ⁠ᴥ⁠ಠ

ANCHOR OF HEARTS

Annabelle strode into the vast, glamorous hotel and made her way to the receptionist's desk, still feeling lightheaded after leaving the pub.

Her vision blurred momentarily as she wobbled on the heels of her shoes.

She approached the receptionist's desk and pulled her phone from her purse.

"Welcome, miss. How can I assist you?" the receptionist asked in a professional tone.

"I'm here to see someone. He's in the room..." she trailed off, her eyes glued to her phone as she struggled to make out the room number. The digits appeared to blur together.

The receptionist watched her, perplexed.

"He's in room 2202. I have an appointment with him. Is he still there?" Annabelle asked.

"Hold on. I need to confirm if you're allowed up," the receptionist replied. They checked the system and saw that the VIP guest was still in his room. The receptionist picked up the landline connected to that room.

After two rings, the call connected.
