Forbetterorforworse Stories

The cave doesnt lie

He was a king in a world of blood. She was a girl who owned nothing but her smile. Ligaya Reyes leaves Leyte with a woven bag and a promise: save her family, no matter the cost. She ends up singing in a Japanese VIP room - and catches the eye of the most dangerous man in the room. Ryuji Takeda doesn't do love. He does power, loyalty, and silence. But Ligaya laughs at his rules, eats with her hands, and calls him "weird." He's captivated. He offers her a year in Tokyo. A penthouse. A new life. She accepts. But the yakuza world is a cage with golden bars. His childhood sweetheart wants her gone. A single night of weakness destroys everything. When Ligaya walks out, Ryuji loses more than his title - he loses the only person who ever saw him as a man, not a monster. Five years later, he shows up at her restaurant. Thinner. Older. One finger missing. And a question that changes everything: "Do you still love me? After all this time?" A romantic comedy with drama, action, and a love that costs everything.

People used to tell me how pretty, smart, and athletic I was. They told me I was throwing away my potential and talent away. Eventually people forgot or moved on. As quickly as I made a friend, I lost them all. I guess life works that way. When one book cover becomes boring they move on. They all forgot, until one didn't. Till one realized beyond my cover I could be beautiful and interesting. My life changed in that one decision, for better or for worse.

This short story is exactly what happened to my relationship in which I actually thought was already my true love. It hurts but I want the world to know that there are still guys like me that is out there. =)
