SAVED BY MY BROTHERS
Zara grew up with nothing but resilience and ambition. Raised in an orphanage, she fought her way into the corporate world, believing education would be her salvation and love her reward. When she married Dante, a powerful CEO, she thought she had finally found both.
She was wrong.
Behind closed doors, Zara’s marriage became a nightmare of cruelty, betrayal, and calculated malice. Stripped of her career, manipulated through her own child, and nearly killed by the very family she married into, Zara is forced to face a devastating truth: she was never meant to survive.
When she walks away from everything with no money, no protection, and only her dignity Zara makes one promise: she will return.
What she doesn’t expect is to uncover a shocking secret about her past one that reveals she was stolen as a child, her life destroyed by a conspiracy rooted in greed and revenge. Reclaimed by her real family and armed with power she never knew was hers, Zara rises from the ashes stronger than ever.
This time, she isn’t fighting for love.
She’s fighting for justice.
And revenge will be delicious.

Chapter: Chapter 4Zara slowly opened her eyes.Pain spread through her entire body. Every breath felt heavy, every movement unbearable. Her face was wrapped in thick bandages, and when she tried to focus on the room around her, her vision was blurry.She weakly lifted her hand and touched her face, feeling the layers of bandages.A man in a doctor’s coat quickly stepped closer.“Calm down,” he said gently.Zara looked at him through half-open eyes. Something about him felt familiar, but she was too weak to remember where she had seen him before.Then suddenlyHer memory rushed back.The car.The panic.The brakes failing.The crash.And Lilly.“Lilly!” Zara cried weakly.Her heart began racing.“Lilly… where is Lilly?” she shouted, her voice trembling. “I want to see Lilly! Let me see my daughter!”Tears rolled down her cheeks.“I want to see Lilly!” she kept repeating desperately.The man tried to calm her.“Please, Zara, calm down ”But it was useless.Just then, the door opened and Marcus rushed ins

Chapter: Chapter 103Sunday AfternoonBella lay comfortably across Dante’s lap as they watched television in the living room. The atmosphere was lazy and calm until the news suddenly interrupted the program.The screen shifted to a serious-looking reporter.“We have sad news to report today,” the reporter announced. “Zara Ashford has finally passed away after remaining in a coma for several days following the tragic accident.”Dante froze.For a moment, he thought he had misheard.“What?” he whispered.He shot up from the couch so quickly that Bella nearly fell.“Mum!” Dante shouted loudly.Upstairs, Margaret heard the panic in his voice and rushed down the stairs.“What is it, Dante?” she asked breathlessly.Dante didn’t answer.He simply pointed at the television.The reporter continued speaking.“The burial ceremony will take place tomorrow. According to the Ashford family, it will be extremely private and secretive, with only close family members attending.”For a few seconds, the room fell into stunn

Chapter: Chapter 102Dante’s POVWhen Dante discovered that Zara was the lost sister of the Ashford family and that Rosey had been nothing more than a fraud, something inside him snapped. The humiliation was unbearable. One by one, companies began cutting ties with his. Partnerships collapsed overnight, and the reputation he had spent years building crumbled before his eyes.Anger consumed him.For days, he refused to step outside. He stopped going to work entirely, choosing instead to hide inside his bedroom. Every news channel seemed to be talking about him, dissecting the scandal piece by piece. The paparazzi camped outside his house like vultures waiting for scraps.One evening, as he lay staring blankly at the ceiling, a knock sounded on his door.“Son,” his mother’s voice called softly from the other side.Margaret stepped inside when he didn’t answer immediately. She looked at him with a mixture of concern and impatience.“You haven’t left this house in a week,” she said. “The company needs you.”D

Chapter: Chapter 101Marcus sat in the hallway, feeling completely stranded, his mind blank as he tried to decide what to do next. Just then, he saw his mother walking toward him.He immediately stood up and rushed to her side.“Mum… are you feeling better? How did you even get out of your room like that?” he asked anxiously.Mrs. Ashford looked pale and fragile. The cannulas that had once been attached to her arm were gone, as if she had pulled them out herself. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying.“Tell me this is a dream,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “Marcus… tell me this is just a dream. My daughter and my grandchild… they are okay, right?”Tears rolled down her cheeks as she wiped them away with shaking hands.“I want to see them now,” she said desperately. “I want to confirm that this is all just a dream… because it can’t be my Zara and Lilly. It just can’t.”Marcus felt his chest tighten, but he forced himself to stay calm.“Mum… please calm down,” he said softly.But deep inside, he

Chapter: Chapter 100Marcus was driving while Mrs. Ashford sat quietly beside him. They were heading back home after seeing Victor off.The highway was unusually crowded.Up ahead, a group of people had gathered around something on the road.Mrs. Ashford frowned.“What’s happening there?” she asked.Marcus leaned forward slightly, trying to see through the crowd.“I think there’s been an accident,” he said.He slowed the car.“But people are just standing around watching,” he added with frustration. “What if someone is dying and needs help?”He sighed and pulled the car over.“Mother, I think we should go see what happened.”Mrs. Ashford nodded firmly.“I raised you well, my son. If you had just driven away, I would have been very disappointed.”Marcus parked the car and they stepped out.“Let’s go,” she said softly. “Maybe we can help.”They walked toward the accident site.A badly damaged car sat near the side of the road, twisted from the crash. Marcus glanced at it briefly.For a moment, something abo

Maya smiled warmly, and even little Lilly joined in with her tiny hands clapping excitedly.Zara stepped forward and hugged Victor tightly.Then she straightened herself and faced the audience.“Thank you, everyone,” she said confidently. “Thank you, Victor… thank you, Marcus, Maya, Mum… and my little girl.”She paused briefly before continuing.“With this new responsibility that has been entrusted to me, I promise I will not let any of you down.”Zara smiled.The crowd erupted into applause once again.After the cer

Ice Between Rivals
BLURB
Ava Carter has one dream: play elite hockey. But the Falcons Academy doesn’t recruit girls. So when her twin brother Noah walks away from his scholarship, Ava makes a reckless choice.
She steals his identity, his jersey, his future.
Now she’s living as Noah Carter, training, competing, and sleeping in the same dorm as Kai Bennett, her brother’s ruthless rival. Kai has spent years trying to defeat Noah. Now they’re roommates. And Kai is starting to notice something is wrong. The way Noah moves. The way he looks at him. The way his pulse changes when they collide on the ice.
Then there’s Liam Brooks, captain of the Eagles. Noah’s best friend. The boy who knows her better than anyone. And the only one who might recognize the truth.
Caught between her brother’s rival and her brother’s best friend, Ava is playing the most dangerous game of her life. Because the more she wins on the ice, the closer she gets to losing everything: her dream, her secret, her heart.
And when her helmet falls in front of a packed arena and her hair spills free… The silence is louder than any crowd. Now the whole world is watching. And no one feels more betrayed than the two boys staring at her from opposite ends of the ice.

Chapter: Chapter 6Chapter Six: Just A DreamPOV: Ava Carter“Why are you sleeping here?”The voice came sharp and close and I jolted awake so fast the room spun.Kai was standing over me with his arms crossed, looking down at me the way you look at something that has deeply disappointed you without even trying. He had nudged me not gently. Not even close to gently. The kind of nudge that had absolutely no apology in it.I blinked. Once. Twice.I pressed my hand against my chest and felt my heart slamming underneath it and made myself breathe slowly. My shirt was damp. My hands were unsteady. I looked around the room and it was empty and quiet and completely undisturbed and I let out a breath that had been sitting in my lungs for what felt like hours.It was just a dream.Not the arena. Not the lights. Not my helmet on the ice and every eye in the building finding my face all at once. Just a dream. I was not busted. I was sitting in the preparation room at Falcons Academy and nobody knew anything and I

Chapter: Chapter 5POV: Ava CarterI did not even blink."It belongs to a girl I am seeing," I said.Kai looked at me for a long moment. The locker room was almost empty now. Just the two of us and the hum of the lights and the hair tie sitting in his open palm between us."A girl," he said."Yeah.""You are seeing a girl.""Is that a problem."He looked down at the hair tie again. Then back at me. His expression was completely unreadable which was somehow worse than if he had looked angry or suspicious. He just looked like someone doing very careful math."No," he said slowly. "It is not a problem."He held it out to me.I reached for it and his hand moved before I could stop it. His fingers closed around my wrist gently.He looked down,I also do the same.My wrist in his hand. His thumb resting against the inside of it where my pulse was currently doing something embarrassing and frantic. His hand was big and mine looked small inside it. Too small. I had strong hands from years of stick work but they

Chapter: Chapter 4POV: Ava CarterI made my first mistake on a Tuesday.We were in the film room watching tape from the charity game and Coach Merritt paused on a play and asked me to walk through my decision making on the left wing sequence. I leaned forward and started talking and I used my hands the way I always do when I explain something I care about and my voice went up at the end of the sentence the way it naturally does when I am excited.Just me. Kai turned his head slowly from across the room. I caught myself immediately and cleared my throat and finished the sentence in a lower register and looked at the screen like nothing happened. But when I glanced sideways two minutes later Kai was still looking at me. Not suspicious exactly. Just the way he always looked at things he had not solved yet.I went back to the dorm that night and sat on my bed and pressed my face into my pillow and screamed without making any sound.This was getting harder.Not the hockey. The hockey I could do in my sleep.

Chapter: Chapter 3POV: Ava CarterI stood outside the arena with my hands in my jacket pockets and let the ocean wind hit my face and for exactly thirty seconds I forgot who I was supposed to be. The sky was wide and grey and beautiful and the waves were loud and far away and I just breathed.Then someone called out Noah's name and I snapped back.The charity game was packed. Local families, younger kids with foam fingers, coaches from three different academies sitting in the stands with their arms crossed and their eyes sharp. The Falcons filed in through the side entrance and I kept my helmet bag over my shoulder and my head slightly down and focused on walking like Noah. Loose. Easy. Confident without trying.I was getting better at it. Then I heard his voice."Noah!"My stomach folded completely in half. Liam Brooks came through the crowd like sunlight through a window. Tall, easy smile, broad shoulders under a blue Eagles jacket with the captain's patch stitched on the chest. I had known Liam Broo

Chapter: Chapter 2POV: Ava CarterThe room was small. Two beds. Two desks. One window that looked out at the training rink. And Kai Bennett sitting on the left bed with his arms crossed, watching me drag my bag through the door like he was studying something he had not figured out yet.I set my bag down and said nothing."You got taller," Kai said.I kept my back to him and unzipped my bag slowly. "Maybe you got shorter."He made a sound that was almost a laugh but not quite. "Still got that mouth on you."I turned around and looked at him. I made my face flat and unbothered the way Noah always looked when someone was trying to get under his skin. Noah never let things show. He was smooth and cool and I had watched him do it my whole life.I could do this."What do you want, Bennett?" I said. I pushed my voice down low in my throat. Slower than I naturally spoke.He leaned back on his hands and smiled at the ceiling. "Just saying it is good to finally have a real challenge this season. The guys here ar

Chapter: Chapter 1POV: Ava CarterThe puck hit my stick and the world went quiet. That is what happens to me every single time. The crowd disappears. The shouting disappears. It is just me, the ice, and the net sitting wide open like a door I was born to walk through.I pushed off hard and flew. My skates cut into the ice. My legs burned. The defender on my left was big, fast, and mean. He lunged for me. I faked right, spun left, and left him grabbing nothing but cold air. The goalie dropped into position, watching me with sharp eyes.I pulled my stick back.The puck screamed across the ice and buried itself in the top right corner of the net. The sound it made hitting the back of the goal was the most beautiful sound in the world.Then the crowd exploded."NOAH! NOAH! NOAH!"I lifted my arms. My heart was slamming against my ribs. My lungs were on fire. Every single part of me was alive and electric and burning bright.But they were not cheering for me. They were cheering for Noah Carter.My brother.

Chapter: Chapter 30When Victor’s father finally drifted back to sleep, Elara’s restraint shattered.“I need to talk to you. Now.”Her voice was low but sharp enough to cut through the quiet of the hospital. Without waiting for a response, she turned and walked out. Victor followed.They sat just outside the ward, the distant hum of machines and muffled voices filling the silence between them.Elara turned to him, her eyes blazing.“How dare you?” she snapped. “How dare you lie to Father tell him we’re still together? I know he’s sick, but you… you must have planted that idea in his head. It’s you. It has to be you.”Victor said nothing.“But listen carefully,” she continued, her voice dropping into something colder, more final. “We are never getting back together. I will never forgive you, Victor. No matter what happens, remember that. Elara will never forgive you… and neither will my son.”The words hung heavily in the air.Victor exhaled slowly, running a hand through his hair. Then, for the first tim

Chapter: Chapter 29Victor had nothing left to do.Slowly, almost reluctantly, he made his way back to Elara’s company.Before he could even sit at his desk, Elara was already there, standing beside it, her presence sharp and unwelcoming.“Don’t ever take on something you can’t handle,” she said coldly, her eyes cutting into him. “I’m warning you.”She didn’t wait for a response.“I need an iced coffee on my desk. Now.”With that, she turned and walked into her office, slamming the door behind her.Victor stood there for a moment, wordless.Then, quietly, he forced his tired, burdened body to move.To the room where tea and coffee were prepared, he poured the drink carefully.But his mind was no longer there.It had drifted… back to the hospital.To his father.What if he keeps asking for us… for me and Elara… every single day?His grip tightened slightly.Will Elara agree?A pause.Would she ever…?The thought consumed him so deeply that he didn’t notice the coffee spilling over, dripping onto the floo

Chapter: Chapter 28Victor rushed back to the city without stopping. He didn’t even have time to freshen up. Dust clung to his clothes, his hands still bore the marks of labor, but none of it mattered now.Despite everything… despite the distance between them, the harsh words, the quiet disappointments his father was still his father.And somewhere deep within, Victor still loved him.His father had never truly hated him. He had only been disappointed… disappointed in the choices Victor had made, in the life he had chosen.Victor exhaled heavily as he reached the hospital.Inside, he found Martin seated beside the bed.At the sight of him, Martin stood up quickly. “Victor… you’re here.”“Yes,” Victor replied, moving closer. “What happened?”He took Martin’s place beside the bed, his eyes scanning his father’s pale face.“I’m not entirely sure,” Martin admitted. “His blood pressure suddenly shot up.”Victor nodded slowly. “But he’ll be okay… right?”“He should be.”Victor let out a quiet breath. “Thank yo

Chapter: Chapter 27Victor woke up feeling unusually energetic. For some reason, he was smiling from ear to ear.Hellen noticed immediately. “Are you feeling better, my son?” she asked gently.He nodded, still smiling.“But I suppose you’ll be leaving today…” she added, her tone soft with disappointment.Victor shook his head. “No. I’m not leaving today. I’ll stay here until the job is done.”“Really?” Hellen asked, her face lighting up with a warm smile. She had grown unexpectedly fond of him, and he, too, had come to appreciate her kindness.“Oh, that’s wonderful! Should I make you some porridge?”Victor nodded. He couldn’t bring himself to refuse the poor woman.She soon returned with a bowl of warm porridge, and he ate quietly.“I’ll be back in the evening,” he said as he stood to leave.“It’s alright,” Hellen replied. “I’ll even bring you food.”“Thank you so much.”He waved and left.Ever since Elara had walked out of his life, no one had cared for him the way Hellen was doing now. It was a strange

Chapter: Chapter 26When Victor woke, he found himself surrounded by a crowd of concerned faces. He let out a heavy sigh.“You’re awake,” Hellen said softly.Mark stepped forward, his expression tense. “You’re okay now?”Victor nodded weakly, trying to focus. “What… happened?” he asked, his voice barely more than a whisper.“You fell sick,” Hellen replied, “and we rushed you here.”Victor groaned, pressing a hand to his throbbing head. “Oh… my head…”Hellen hurried off to fetch water, returning moments later with a glass and a pill. He handed it to Victor. Reluctantly, Victor swallowed it and sank back onto the mat, exhausted.Thirty minutes passed in quiet relief. Finally, Victor cracked. “Where… is Elara?”The question hung in the air, and the others exchanged confused glances.“Elara?” Hellen asked slowly.It took a moment, then it hit him . “Oh… you I mean Zara,” someone he said correcting themself awkwardly because to them she was Zara.Zara had gone on an emergency, leaving in a rush.

Chapter: Chapter 25When Victor woke, Elara was already gone from the small house.He stepped outside, moving slowly, as though every limb carried a hidden weight. The morning air was cool, yet it did nothing to ease the heaviness in his body. His face had lost its color; he looked almost ghostlike.Hellen was the first to notice him.“Victor… are you alright? You look so pale. Did your condition worsen?”He let out a quiet chuckle, though it was laced with discomfort.“No, no… I’m feeling better.”But even as he spoke, his eyes drifted past her.Elara was already outside.She stood a short distance away, speaking to a group of men. Her posture was firm, her voice steady every inch of her carried authority. When her gaze shifted in his direction, Victor quickly looked away, pretending he hadn’t been watching. He already knew… nothing good would come from that encounter.Moments later, she approached him.Up close, her expression was unreadable. She let out a small sigh before speaking.“We’re short on la
