Anastasiya has been alone since before she could remember. She's used to abuse, to torment, to being a victim to bullies and their nasty ways. She doesn't have a family, and she's okay with that. That's the way it's always been. Until it isn't. She's pulled out of her school lesson on the day of her thirteenth birthday by her new guardian: her oldest brother. She's thrusted into a new life - although it doesn't differ from her last one too much. Surrounded by a family she feels doesn't care for her and other children who make it their personal mission to ruin Anastasiya's already terrible days, she's forced to deal with a whirlwind of emotions that plague her as well as combat the plethora of problems that come to her while being completely alone, with nobody by her side.

Autumn is beautiful here- in the middle of nowhere. The breeze is a bit cold though. The breeze gets colder when someone's watching you. There's eleven of us living in White Halo Manor. Day in, day out, we live the same day, every day, in glorious harmony. They provide for us, the protectors, as long as we follow three simple rules. Do not leave Do not step foot onto the third floor Do not communicate with the outside world Or we get hunted. It's pretty simple. They say it's because we're part of the witness protection programme. There are five. Four men and one woman. But we've never seen any of their faces- and god forbid we do because it would only mean one thing. Death. We dream of what's beyond the metal gates. I did too, until him. He's a protector and he's obsessed with me. Too obsessed to let me out of his sight. Too obsessed to kill me when I venture too far. My name is Zoya Yadav and I'm part of the witness protection programme. SIDE NOTE: this book is a duet, but is compiled into one wattpad book. It will be/is HEA. It's going to be dark with lots of toxicity. So if you like that, then, by all means, continue. ~a book to fuel your love for creepy autumns~

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟐 𝐨𝐟 ❝𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬❞ ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧ In a world where everyone plays dirty, silence isn't safety- it's strategy. Olive thought she'd finally outrun the chaos. That quiet meant peace. But the past has a cruel way of catching up, and sometimes the real enemy is the one you never saw coming. Whispers grow louder. Trust fractures. A familiar face returns with a hidden agenda, and the people Olive once relied on begin to shift in the shadows. Loyalties bend, love is weaponized, and the line between truth and manipulation thins with every secret unearthed. Xavier is still the center of her storm- magnetic, dangerous, impossible to walk away from. But what they had is no longer what they know. And when the foundations crack, Olive is forced to ask herself one question: Who is he really protecting? As the web tightens and a new power rises from the quiet, Olive must choose between who she was and who she's becoming. Between love and survival. Between silence... and the war waiting to erupt beneath it. Because this time, it's not just about staying alive. It's about what you're willing to risk when everything you believed was a lie.

I look up at him, his green eyes hungry with lust, blood clinging to his shirt. "I don't think you understand Kate." He takes a step closer to me and grabs my chin softly. "I would do anything you ask me to." I would almost be touched if I didn't know the sinister meaning behind it. "I would die for you." He continues, backing me into a wall. "And I would, with no hesitation, kill for you." * * * * * * * 22 year old Kate Lancaster lived a boring, mundane life. She got up, went to work, came home, and repeated the process the next day. She despised it, as an escape from it all, she went to her favorite park, desperate to escape reality. 29 year old Daniel Anderson lived a perfect life. He got up, went to work, came home, and repeated the process the next day. Simple and predictable, but somehow, no matter how hard he tried, nothing seems to quiet his mind. After his phone died and his car broke down, he was left with no option but to walk home, where he sets his sights on Kate.
