*ForeWarning* Depictions of death, loss, distress, and fear
Despite the worry of her best friend and co-worker, Gabriella, a lowly waitress, realizes that her past has finally caught on to her. After a past colleague reaches out to her with a compelling message, she becomes distressed when a questionable figure enters the prominent restaurant and leaves blackmail. Having recently suffered a head injury, she can not deny her connection to the blackmail and leaves to rendezvous at the chosen place. Only there does she realize that she has to make a choice, one with deadly consequences. In an unpredictable twist ending, Gabriella decides to take a shot in the dark, carrying the full weight of her past once and for all.
Author's Note:
There are not many stories that I have truly enjoyed planning and writing like this one. When I thought of starting with an innocent beginning with a waitress working at a high-class restaurant, a twist ending was inevitable. The story played out before my eyes just how I had intended, and I could not be happier with the results. Writing does not always come as easily for me as other writers I know, but only having completed this story in two months and seeing the results has encouraged me to keep working and practicing toward my goals.

After the Ashes: Love Can't Save the World... But It Might Save Them.
When survival is law, trust is deadlier than bullets. The world died so did her faith in humanity. The people Whiskey trusted most put a knife in her back. Left for dead in a world that no longer has rules, she's learned the only way to survive: stay ruthless, stay unseen, and never-ever-trust again. While danger lurks in every shadow and betrayal waits around every corner, Whiskey isn't waiting to be saved- she's the one pulling the trigger. But when he returns-Scarred, dangerous, and dragging secrets that could rip apart what's left of her reality, he isn't just a reminder of the past- he's a walking weapon. One that could either help her survive the nightmare... or be the one to end her for good. And in a place where mercy is extinct and betrayal is currency, trusting him could be the deadliest mistake she ever makes. The line between salvation and destruction has never been thinner. This brutal, edge-of-your-seat post-apocalyptic thriller is perfect for fans of dystopian survival, betrayal-fueled suspense, and high-stakes action where trust can get you killed.
Revival
"Why is she so hard to let go of?" I close my eyes and shake my head, thousands of memories of us were whispering, telling me exactly why it was hard to let her go. "Because, Gabriel. Even though I never planned on meeting her I was basically dead. She came in to my life and changed it around. She's my revival." Sacrifice. A word with many meanings to many people. Many would sacrifice their lives for their loved ones. Kiiara did that and thought it was enough. But what she didn't expect was to sacrifice another big thing of hers... Her heart.
My Bella
(Previously known as 'Forbidden love') My legs have a mind of their own and i find myself walking towards the bathroom. She left it unlocked. I turn the handle and open the door. The steam escaping. I walk further in and shut the door behind me. I don't think she can hear me. I strip from my clothes and push them to the side. I walk up to the bath tub that has a shower attached. I move the curtain out of the way and her back is facing me. She looks so beautiful right now it's too late to turn away. I step in and wrap my arms around her naked waist and rest my forhead on her shoulder blade. I hear her gasp and her body stills under my touch. Still not facing me, i speak. "i'm sorry if i hurt you. You don't understand, i do want you the same way you want me because... because... I'm in love with you" I've finally said it. •~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~• A lot is happening in Bella and Noahs' love story.

The Painting
"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way. But I didn't relive my life physically like walking through an old memory, déjà vu in each step. It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?Lengkap
