ONGOING + EDITING
[I edit in between chapters according to priority, not in any sequence. That's why, some chapters will be good and some will lack the rhythm.]

“Heaven isn’t a place you go to when you die. It’s inside the person that’s worthy dying for.”
The words, written in the ending of the pages of the book Hunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton, resonated deep within me.
God, this book was so good. A little traumatizing, but worth it. All I could think was about Zade Meadows.
While some of them may say that Zade is the worst book character based on the first book, I say try reading the second book for him.
Yes, some of his actions were unforgivable, he had his own flaws. Everyone does. And it’s fine.
Just because we like such a character doesn’t always mean we are romanticising it too. But people have this weird habit to judge its readers, without knowing their perspective.
A sudden heat rushed to my cheeks because my mind just conjured Ruvit’s face. God, that boy was driving me crazy.
His vivid image burned behind my eyelids. And then I recalled all the memories of us.
The way our initial encounters had been a whirlwind of fights, teasing, flirting and so much more.
With a snap, I shook my head and closed the book, laying it carefully on my cabin table.
My feet, as if guided by an unseen force, carried me to the glass window.
Rain. The world outside wept, the storm carrying unspoken thoughts. I averted my gaze away, my eyes burning with the hidden pain.
It held that visceral fragment of my past, a memory so sharp I couldn’t forget, a wound I desperately tried to keep buried.
I felt like a cold, heavy hand squeezed my chest, stealing my breath. All I could feel was suffocation.

“I loved you so much, but you left so early that I couldn’t even show you my achievements.” The unspoken words tore through me.
Tears spilled from my eyes as I stared at his photo on my phone, an image frozen in time. The feeling was unbearable.
I had a family, yes. A loving family, in fact. Understanding parents, a caring elder brother, and an annoying younger brother I cherish a lot.
But still, an aching void remained within me, an emptiness that remained without him.
What was the point of earning so much money, building an empire, when I couldn’t have you in my life? When I couldn’t prove my success to my inspiration?
It felt like a cruel joke. Maybe he was watching from the heavens. Maybe he was proud.
But what was the point? I should have been the one to show him how his granddaughter carried the legacy of his business mind.
