The CEO's redemption
Ongoing · aisha imam
Brooke Turner had loved Nathan Leo for as long as she could remember. Their parents’ agreement to an arranged marriage felt like a dream come true for her — a promise that her childhood love would finally be hers.
But for Nathan, it was nothing short of a nightmare. He had grown up with different dreams, and Brooke was no longer part of them.
Determined to make their marriage work, Brooke did everything she could to be the perfect wife — even setting aside her lifelong ambition of becoming a doctor. Yet, after three painful years of trying to win his heart, all she received in return were divorce papers and the cold words that shattered her world: he wanted her out of his life.
Years later, Brooke rebuilt herself. Now a successful doctor, she had long buried the pain of her past—until fate brought it back in the form of a familiar patient.
“Doctor Ash, I need your expertise,” came the voice she thought she’d never hear again.
“What’s wrong with you, Mr. Leo?” she asked, her tone steady but her heart uneasy.
His gaze softened, and his voice was barely above a whisper. “My heart is broken… and only you can mend it.”
Brooke gave a faint smile. “You see, Mr. Leo, I’m a doctor, not a love expert. I can only treat your heart when it’s failing — not when it’s yearning.”
Would you like me to make it sound more like a book blurb (for a novel cover/back page) or keep it as a summary for submission (e.g., for a synopsis or proposal)? The tone can shift depending on that.
