The Conception of Us

At twenty-eight years old, I never thought I’d still be a virgin. And I definitely never imagined a woman like her would look twice at me.

The first time I saw her through a camera lens, I was done for. Stunning, confident, and way out of my league, she was every fantasy I’d ever tried not to have.

But somehow… she chose me.

The quiet, nerdy Malay guy who still gets tongue-tied around her smile.

Now I’m bringing her home to meet my loud, traditional family, and I can’t stop the panic creeping in. What if they overwhelm her? What if I’m not enough for the life she wants? And what happens when she learns I can’t give her everything other couples take for granted—not until marriage?

Falling for her was easy. Convincing her I’m worth staying for might be impossible.
