The Man Named Death ✔ by STESLARA

"I don't know what I did to make you hate me, I haven't done anything to warrant how you ignore me! Please, just tell me!" "I'm in love with you, damn it!" He roars. "I love you so much Aphrodite, and you scare me because you are so strong and I don't want to be the one to break you!" * Aphrodite Muerte is hiding something and so is her long term crush Thanatos Amaro. Both are helplessly in love with one another and both have very different approaches on how to hide it. Love makes you do crazy things and with Aphrodite and Thanatos, it's no different. Pretending to hate Aphrodite, Thanatos manages to hide his true feelings which takes a toll on both of them. Thanatos has no idea what he's doing. Past trauma rules over Aphrodite at night causing nightmares and panic during the day. Aphrodite has no idea how to live life outside of pain. Abuse has a way of shaping people, and she's barely mended from being so broken. Both have friends that force them closer but their love might just be the reason why they end up staying together. Afterall, someone can only stay away from the person they're in love with for so long. One argument and a couple of confessions later leaves them on a confusing path that has the opportunity to be beautiful or disastrous. Love is magical but it is also savage. For Aphrodite and Thanatos, they are each other's downfalls and each others saviors. How long they last is up to them. How much they go through to get together is up to fate. In the end, will they make it or will their love end in splinters and heartache? * WARNING: Mature Content (of all sorts).

The need to destroy brews from the pit of her stomach,'the wrath of a woman scorned'she recites in her head. Dear readers Hello guys, this is one of my favourite books because it came straight from a dream I had. I remember sleeping and thinking I should remember this for a novel definitely. But anyways let's not dwell much on my dream,all the characters in this book are fictional, including the story. If you see anything that is similar to a movie or a book you've read, please please please it's all a coincidence. I'm not a copycat because I know how discouraging and disrespectful it is to the next person. I also kindly ask that you do not plagiarise my work. Editing will be done after the whole book is done and please excuse my spelling and horrible grammar if you catch any. Thank you in advance to those who will read,vote, follow and comment on my work. Please guys, constructive comments only because negative energy is non existing here so... ENJOY❤️ love,the writer
