EMBRACING DESTINY: The Life That Chose Me

When Aliana Marshall crossed paths with John, little did she know that many years down the line, her entire existence would revolve around him. At the time, John was simply a man who entered Aliana's life when she had no interest in forming connections with individuals like him. After years of John's persistent pursuit, Aliana eventually relented and accepted his proposal, marking the beginning of their extraordinary journey together. Despite facing numerous challenges, they always managed to emerge victorious, proving themselves to be resilient survivors. They possessed an unwavering belief in their ability to weather any storm or obstacle that came their way. They were confident that their families would eventually accept their relationship as it was, and that the detractors and naysayers would eventually give up. They embraced their unconventional nature, choosing to defy societal norms when it came to relationships. They were destined to be lifelong partners, even beyond death itself. However, many years later, Aliana learned a profound lesson that shattered her perception of their envisioned future. From the very beginning, she had made a minor misjudgment, believing that she had done what was right. She had concealed a crucial piece of information that could potentially alter the course of her life if it were to come to light. Nevertheless, she remained unconcerned, convinced that it would never resurface. She had consistently recounted their story, word for word, each time John inquired, and she believed it would never change in the foreseeable future. That was her narrative, the only version of events that John would ever know. However, everything changed when Joy, or whoever it was, entered the picture and disrupted their lives. Suddenly, John possessed information that Aliana never anticipated he would uncover. On that fateful day, everything shifted. Aliana's life was forever transformed. John posed the question once again, a question that always sent a jolt of fear through Aliana's spine. For years, she had managed to maintain a composed demeanor and provide an answer that John had always accepted. But on that particular day, it was different. John wouldn't have suddenly asked if he didn't already possess some answers. The unexpected question sent Aliana into a state of panic. She momentarily went blank, confronted by the stark reality before her. Minutes passed in silence between them. And then, Aliana had to respond to that question one last time, as it would mark the end of an era. Eventually, she did. She told John everything, or so he thought. She divulged the truth, initiating yet another chapter in their journey together. In Aliana's own words, she came to realize that life is nothing more than a journey. She even inscribed those words on a poster in her office as a constant reminder, "Life is a journey. Although we may have a destination in mind, life has a way of unfolding as it was meant to. As a woman, I have always strived to excel in all that I do. I have endeavored to be the best mother and partner to my perpetually absent husband. I have always dreamt of marriage, having children, and living happily ever after. However, life had different plans. It presented me with countless obstacles that at times made me question the existence of a higher power. But one day, I made a decision. I resolved to stay true to myself and my beliefs, even if they were not shared by those around me. I promised to be the bigger person and to always be there for him. And here I stand, committed to him. Though I may lack an official title, I am and will forever be his unwedded wife."
This book exists as a tantalizing invitation, beckoning readers to traverse the realms of possibility and imagination. It is a testament to the boundless nature of storytelling, where reality and fiction intertwine, and where the author's vision takes flight, unencumbered by the constraints of the world we know.

Eternal Whispers: Insights from Past Lives

In a world that moves at lightning speed, it’s easy to lose sight of the most valuable lessons life has to offer. We often chase grand achievements, overlooking the small victories that shape us; we focus on external validation, forgetting the power that lies within. *Eternal Whispers: Insights from Past Lives* is a heartfelt guide that bridges the gap between intellect, emotion, and self-discovery, a treasure trove of wisdom distilled from the author’s personal journey from his past life.
This book takes you on a reflective voyage, blending timeless truths with modern insights. At its core is a message of 
believing in yourself: the ability to trust your instincts, persevere in the face of doubt, and find strength in your uniqueness. But self-belief is only part of the story. True growth also demands respect for others, for yourself, and for the experiences, big or small, that shape who you are.
One of the most refreshing aspects of this book is its emphasis on *
appreciating the small wins*. In a society where success is often measured by monumental achievements, this reminder to celebrate progress, however minor, feels like a breath of fresh air. It’s in these moments of gratitude that we build resilience and nurture our joy.

Intelligence Quotient) * and *EQ (Emotional Quotient) *. The author doesn’t just delve into the importance of each; they offer a blueprint for balancing the two. IQ gives us the tools to think critically, solve problems, and achieve academic and professional success. EQ, on the other hand, teaches us to navigate emotions, foster meaningful relationships, and find harmony in a chaotic world. This book shows how blending intellect with emotional intelligence can lead to a more fulfilling and impactful life.
Through every page, the author invites us to reflect on the pivotal moments, choices, and lessons that define our lives. The insights, and advice offered here are not prescriptive but empowering.

If you’re ready to embrace the lessons from your own life, this is the perfect companion to help you along the way.

The Chronicles of David Marshall (Sarah Hayes Marshall)

See all formats and editions

In a country where justice is often dictated by power, and corruption thrives in the shadows of influence, David Marshall never intended to become a crusader against the empire that took everything from him. His only goal was survival, for himself and his children. Yet, as he learned the hard way, walking away was never an option.
The Chronicles of David Marshall is a gripping exploration of one man’s relentless pursuit of truth in a system designed to keep the powerful protected and the innocent silenced. Framed, broken, and stripped of the life he once knew, David never sought war, but war found him.
After his wife, Captain Sarah Hayes Marshall, a dedicated law enforcer, was falsely accused of working with the very criminals she was fighting, she was sentenced, pardoned, and then executed in her own home, one sniper’s bullet ending years of service, sacrifice, and struggle. Seeking nothing but distance from the nightmare, David left behind his home in Isipingo Hills, relocating to the quiet coastal town of Port Alfred. But as he would soon discover, evil does not forgive, nor does it forget.
Dean Pillay, a man of few words and even fewer attachments. A former elite operative, hardened by years in the shadows, Dean had seen corruption in its rawest form. He knew that some battles couldn't be fought with the law, because the law itself was compromised. When David found himself staring down the same empire that had taken his wife, Dean knew there was only one way forward.
From the dangerous underworld of Durban’s Velvet Room to the deep connections between high-ranking officials and international crime syndicates, this story unearths a sinister world that thrives in plain sight. David and Dean's quest takes them across the country, from the hidden safe farms of Underberg to the criminal networks stretching into Gauteng and Cape Town, exposing a system so deeply entrenched that the only way to stop it is to burn it to the ground.
But with every step they take, they become the hunted.
This is not just a story of revenge. It is a story of power, survival, and the cost of truth. Because in a country where the system is built to protect the guilty, justice is never given, it must be taken.

Fleeting Desires

Desire is a strange and powerful thing. It does not ask for permission, nor does it follow reason. It seeps into the cracks of logic, unravelling the carefully built walls of restraint and self-control. It sneaks up when you least expect it, takes hold when you are unprepared, and lingers long after it should have faded. It is relentless, intoxicating, and sometimes merciless.
This story is not about love that fits neatly into definitions or relationships that follow rules. It is not about the kind of affection that grows gently with time, nourished by stability and understanding. No, this is about something far more primal, a hunger so intense it blurs the lines between need and obsession, pleasure and pain, escape and entrapment.
At the heart of this story are two people, Tim and Ava, drawn to each other by a force neither of them fully understands nor completely controls. Their connection is instant, electric, and impossible to ignore. It is the kind of chemistry that does not allow for second thoughts, the kind that demands to be fed even when every rational instinct screams against it. But with that intensity comes volatility, an unpredictability that makes their encounters as exhilarating as they are dangerous. They are two souls chasing something they can’t quite name, testing the limits of how much fire they can touch before they burn.
This is not a romance in the traditional sense. There are no promises here, no carefully crafted futures. This is not about stability or security; it is about raw, unfiltered moments where nothing exists but the way they make each other feel. It is about the loss of control, about surrendering to something that feels bigger than choice. It is about the way passion can consume, the way it devours reason and leaves only instinct behind. It is about the choices we make when desire takes over, and the haunting memories left behind when its fire finally cools.
Some connections are not meant to last. Some are meant to be felt so deeply that they leave scars, reminders of the moments when nothing else mattered but the heat between two people who couldn’t help themselves. This book is about those kinds of connections, the ones that do not promise forever but burn bright enough to be unforgettable.
Welcome to their story. Let the heat of it pull you in. Let the hunger of it consume you.
