My Dear Nightmare

"What's your name?" he asked.

"Daniela. Daniela Stevens," she responded.

"Look at me Stevens... now that I've met you, I promise I'll work even harder to make you unhappy, just as you made me. Maybe... you'll not feel the pain I felt, but I promise I will never allow you to be happy."

"Why?" she whispered.

"... because I can't let you be happy while I suffer everyday because of the memory of my parents being killed in front of me."

"So what are you going to do to me?"

"You're going to marry me."

Daniela Stevens could have been any normal woman, but the sins of her father and the endless nightmares, changed her life more than she could ever imagine. And that scar she carried everyday, was the permanent reminder of the pain she had caused a certain stranger, and the fact that she didn't deserve to find happiness. As long as she lived.

This stranger, who is her nightmare, is Alexander Jackson. He has not been able to let go of the pain of being orphaned, therefore he feels the urge to take revenge, even if it meant making an innocent person suffer.

His life and hers get tangled together, and they have to make a decision, whether to keep suffering, or to let go of the past. But letting go deals with change and trust, and that is their only obstacle.
