Dilated cardiomyopathy is a heart condition in which the heart muscle weakens and the heart becomes enlarged.
My family always took pride in being happy. Sometimes it was hard but we did it. It's hard to think of what's best, to not be selfish, when you're dying from some sort of heart disease. Two weeks. Full stop. I could be saved if I got a transplant but nobody seemed to want to die yet. We always hold on to the little life we have left. When I was given an expiry date I forgot how to live. That's where Dyson came in. He re taught me how to live and not just survive. How to enjoy life and be truly happy.
We all have a past and we all have a destiny. We might break a few hearts or get heart broken on the way but there's always an outcome. All I saw were the carved words Anna A Pleasley written on a tomb stone.
My heart was stolen by people and passed around like a hot potato until it was cool and somebody kept it. Will Dyson be the one to steal my fragile broken heart?
Or is death always one step ahead?

Unveiled
I started pushing Noah's arms away from me. "Ma..... May I have a word with you" I said to Noah walking out of the kitchen without waiting for his reply. I walked at the corner of the living room and waited for Noah to come. He came after a few seconds and stood in front of me. The first thing I did was check his temperature with my hand. I am glad he didn't move back to my touch. Instead he was analyzing me. "Are you alright" I asked. He looked at me in confusion. "I am fine. Why?" He asked. "Did you hit your head somewhere" I asked. "No" he said. "Then why aren't you afraid of women. You used to always avoid talking to them or being near them. But today, you.... you are talking to me an........and touching me. That isn't normal........." I stopped speaking when he again started walking towards me. Instantly my feet started moving back. I stopped walking when I felt the wall hit my back. He stood in front of me keeping his hand against my head, bending down to my level looking into my eyes. "What isn't normal" he asked. My eyes flicked to his lips for a second which looked soft. "You.......You are speaking with me. You al.... always ignore me" I said. ****************** Alena Lincoln, the invisible twin. Wanting for love, wanting to achieve her dreams.

What The Heart Remembers
Elizabeth Morgan knows what it means to survive. She endured the slow erosion of self-worth under a charming but controlling partner. After leaving Daniel, the man who quietly broke her spirit, her heart quite literally gave out. Diagnosed with stress-induced heart failure, she faced a year of limbo-grieving what was, fearing what's next, and clinging to the fragile hope of a transplant. Two years later, Elizabeth has a new heart and a quiet life. She's rebuilt from the ground up, choosing safety over risk, solitude over vulnerability. Love is no longer a part of the plan. Then she meets John Pearson-a warm, grounded literature professor who doesn't ask her to be anything more than she already is. What begins as a gentle friendship rooted in books and easy conversation begins to stir something deeper. But vulnerability is its own risk. As their bond grows, so do the fears Elizabeth thought she'd buried-fears of loss, of being broken again, of not surviving a second time. When John offers a love that feels steady and true, Elizabeth is faced with a question she never thought she'd ask again: Can she give her heart to someone new, knowing how fragile it's become-and how much it cost to start over? What the Heart Remembers is a story of resilience, healing, and the quiet courage it takes to open your heart again. Tender, hopeful, and emotionally rich, it's a celebration of second chances and love that's truly earned.Complete

The Devil's Crybaby
A man stormed in with a gun. She was shot. She lived, but the part of her that trusted life didn't. After that, she became careful. She avoided crowds. Sudden movements made her freeze. She spent more time alone because it felt easier than being around people who didn't understand what had happened to her. Life became smaller, but it felt safer that way. Then one night, someone came for her. He took her from her bed without explaining who he was. He kept her moving, kept her close, and kept his distance at the same time. A man who lived by rules she didn't understand and fear she couldn't escape. Everything about him screamed danger, yet he never touched her without reason. Never spoke more than necessary. He lived for one person only. Everything he did was for his brother. His brother had lost an eye years ago because of him, and he treated that loss like something he could never make right. He followed his brother's orders without thinking about the consequences. When his brother wanted something, he made it happen. Eliza asked questions. Tried to understand what she had been pulled into. The man who kidnapped her protected her but never from the truth. In the silence he left behind, she started filling in the gaps herself. She told herself he wouldn't protect her if she didn't matter. She told herself that the way he stayed close meant something. When she finally learns the reason she was taken, it doesn't come gently. It strips away everything she believed and leaves her facing the fact that she was never chosen. She was a promise. A problem someone else decided to solve. Two brothers want different things from her. One wants to own her. One never planned to keep her. Around them is a world where violence is normal, where people disappear without anyone asking questions, and where some men hunt for reasons that have nothing to do with survival. This is not a story about being saved.
