What would you do if you fell in love with a solider? You can't see him everyday, you won't hear his voice everyday, and worst part is... you can't feel that electric feeling when he hugs you from the back, hands at the waist. Wouldn't it drive you crazy? This is a story about Madeline Georgiadis and Bryce Williams. And how Madeline handled dating a Marine.
Part of this story is a true story.
It is about my best friend and the love of her life. He was part of the Marine Corps. About three years ago she was diagnosed with cancer. Two years after her love past away serving his country. And about a year and a half ago, she past away from Cervix cancer.
In her will, she wanted me to have her journals. Everything I write isn't true; I would say about half aren't true.
But she is my inspiration to write this story.
To Madeline and Bryce. May your love for each other continue on in Heaven.

I Don't Like The World, I Only Like You
The night before we obtained our marriage certificate, I asked him, "When did you start to develop feelings for me?" He answered, "I don't remember." "But, why me?" "Why not you?" "I'm very petty, and I get jealous very easily." "So am I." "I'm afraid I'm not worthy of you." "So am I." "I haven't really dated, so I don't know what love is." "I don't know either." He held my hand gently, "But I know this. When I think about spending the rest of my life with you, I feel that my future is filled with hope." At 16, we used the same class desk, with less than 10cm between our arms. My peripheral vision was full of him. At 26, I woke up in the morning, and saw the sunlight softly shining on his face. I thought, this is how I want to grow old - gradually, together, with him. I guess this must be love. ___________________________________________________ Associated Names 我不喜欢這世界，我只喜欢你 Original Publisher 湖南少年儿童出版社Complete

BROKEN HOPE (Lucas & Emilia Book 2)
I was so damn naive it's no wonder I've ended up here. Kidnapped by the man who promised me forever, just as I'd begun to understand the depths of his betrayal. It's a sad truth I didn't marry my husband for love. I married him for the life he promised to provide, and if I'm honest with myself, I married him in hopes one day he'd fill the void Lucas-my first love-left behind. Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I've walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life's harshest lesson... I'm not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me. Especially now. Surrounded by danger and at the mercy of my husband's enemies, I'm forced to face one final bit of truth. Much like love, hope is for the weak. I was a fool to believe in the vows and promises they made. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 2 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc. For the complete experience, start with Book 1: Broken Vows.Complete
