As the snow fell harder, so did her tears, which had been concealed for far too long. In that moment, memories of his words flashed through her mind, when he had called her the strongest and toughest person he had ever met. "Who did you say was the strongest?" she whispered, her voice trembling with vulnerability. She allowed her knees to buckle, sinking to the ground and wrapping her arms around her legs, seeking comfort within herself.
"I need a hug too..." she confessed, her words filled with longing and sorrow. In that instant, a whirlwind of emotions and memories crashed into her, shattering her into countless fragments. How arrogant she had been. For so long, she had been labeled as tough, as strong. But now, she knew the truth. In this vulnerable moment, she realized who she truly was. She was the most cowardly, hiding behind a disguise of strength, concealing every weakness within the confines of a fragile box. And now, that box had exploded, leaving her with nothing left to hide. She was nothing more than a woman cowering behind a shield of steel, desperately yearning to protect herself.

The New Mafia Boss (Under Revisions)
"The past always finds a way to catch up." The rain hammered the streets, but she barely noticed. She was too focused on the weight in her chest-the weight of everything she was trying to escape. She'd left the past behind. At least, that's what she'd convinced herself. When she walked into the room, the tension hit her immediately. The cold stares from everyone around the table made her skin crawl, but it was the figure at the head of the table that stopped her in her tracks. Him. Her ex. The man who had torn her world apart, the one she'd tried so hard to forget. But there he was, sitting casually with an air of power, as if nothing had ever changed. Her heart skipped a beat. She wasn't ready for this. Not now, not here. He looked up, his eyes locking onto hers. There was a flicker of recognition, something almost soft, but it vanished just as quickly. She couldn't breathe. The past had found her. "Didn't expect you to show up," he said, his voice as cold as ever. And just like that, everything she thought she had left behind came rushing back.Complete

But with every passing second and every in-between of those years, she couldn't seem to getaway with the feelings still lingering in her system. She was haunted by the ideas of him, what might have been, and their memories together. Each day, each night; it was a choice she didn't want to regret. She was determined to move forward. But the biggest relapse struck her unexpectedly. All of her effort and hard work went down the drain. She couldn't seem to pull herself back from the memories reeling her in. From the phantom lurking in the form of her next door neighbor seemingly pulling her back to his arms. Maybe she should run away. Far enough where they wouldn't meet ever again. Far from his reach. Maybe she should treat him indifferently until he finally gives up. But Nika couldn't seem to handle the thought of him walking away and ending up with someone else. She couldn't have that either. Maybe, it was time for her to let things happen like clockwork. Maybe fighting it was futile. Maybe the right thing to do was run back to him. In his arms wide open. A place in the world that's only meant for her. Maybe, this time, they were meant to be. Book cover by: goldenaraw (on twitter)Complete
