My life before was just like my name, Haven. Everything was peaceful, everything went my way, and I had everything that I needed. If I wanted something, I'd have it in a snap. I didn't need to move, make an effort, or work for it. I just needed my daddy's tiny rectangular card that might look insignificant but carried the world on its little sharp edges. Money might not equate to happiness, but it certainly made life easier for me. And yet a year later, from heaven I was dropped into my version of hell. Now, I'm standing in the aisle of a grocery store, wondering if I should just buy another batch of instant noodles because I don't want to waste money-money that I barely have to begin with-on food that will just end up being barely edible. Was that the hell I'm talking about? No. It's working unbelievably long hours just to get paid basically nothing, and wanting to buy food to eat because I haven't had one meal for the day, only to end up having a gun on my head. Oh, and before I forget-kidnapped! At a grocery store! My version of hell? It's the tattooed, hot-headed Italian and head of a secret criminal society, Allessio Cascella.

[COMPLETE] SOFT RESET Book 3 of the "The Ones Who Were Watched" series Soft Reset is not typical Wattpad love story. It subverts typical Wattpad tropes - trading fantasy for grief, quiet longing, emotional restraint, and the slow work of healing after trauma. Elisse and Milo are not perfect. They're messy. Flawed. Complicated. But true. Raw. Damaged but trying. This isn't a story about being chosen. It's about the pain of not being ready for love when it mattered the most and the cost of realizing it too late.
