They Decided To Stay

ShazainZainab
In the heart of Manchester's elite society, Emilia Williamson, a kind-hearted billionaire’s daughter, lives a charmed life. Raised in luxury yet grounded by love, she begins a new chapter at Manchester University—unaware that her innocent pursuit of friendship and knowledge will soon turn into a test of love, loyalty, and resilience. There, Emilia meets Kevin Mark, a hardworking young man from humble beginnings. Their quiet friendship blooms into an unspoken love, as Kevin, with grit and determination, transforms his father's modest coffee shop into a rising business empire. But not everyone celebrates their bond. Enter Eric Steven and Liana Parker—both born into privilege, both dangerously envious. Eric desires Emilia, while Liana sets her sights on Kevin. When rejection fuels their jealousy, the two conspire to tear the couple apart. One night, their trap is set—a manipulated scene, a broken heart, and a love shattered by deceit. Devastated, Emilia cuts all ties with Kevin, and he disappears from her life. As Eric makes a calculated move to win her over, the truth begins to unravel. With the help of her friend Maya and a shocking confession from Liana, Emilia learns of the betrayal that nearly destroyed her. But love has a way of enduring the storm. As Emilia reunites with Kevin, the past catches up with them once more—this time in a terrifying way. On the eve of their wedding, Eric kidnaps Emilia with Liana's help, forcing Kevin to fight for the woman he loves. In a moment of chaos, a gunshot rings out. What follows is a race against time, a second chance at love, and a powerful reminder that even in a world full of lies, true love—and the decision to stay—can heal the deepest wounds. They Decided to Stay is a gripping urban romantic drama filled with passion, betrayal, redemption, and the unshakable strength of a love that refuses to let go.

[WARNING MATURE CONTENT, R18+] Michael Specter is a handsome, successful entrepreneur with women throwing themselves at his feet just to spend a night. However, very few know about his menacing side.

But life soon takes a turn when Layla finds out that there is no such household, and instead of working as a maid, she is now a slave to Michael Specter, a billionaire with a twisted mind. Layla’s eyes turned red, shoulders trembling, her soul wanting to reach out to her mom but alas… There was no way out, as she was already locked in the room, succumbing to the fears that didn’t feel very distant; She had gone through the same not long before. The agreement papers turned her body cold. Sometimes the worst seems best and there’s no end to the misery days; The one who avenges, the one who endures remains true to their valor. ‘Rule No. 1: Tending to your Master’s needs should be your top priority. Failing to do so, he can punish you however he pleases.’ ‘However, he pleases? What he’s gonna do to me?’ She mused and felt her heart sinking to the bottom of her chest. ‘Rule No. 2: You cannot say ‘no’ or oppose your Master’s orders.’ ‘Rule No. 3: You’re free to wear clothes of your choice… However, he can make you change it if he wants.’ ‘Rule No. 4: You are not allowed to step outside of the property.’ . . .

Layla gulped down the heavy lump that she had been holding for quite some time. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***NOTE*** The cover isn’t mine.
