I don't expect you to. Not when your ghost continues to haunt my every waking moment. Not when your voice torments me both at work and in my dreams. Not when someone as weak and low as I was, remain among the living while you...
I pray you'll forgive me for everything.
How I shunned you.
How I could only hold jealousy for you.
How I only realize my feeling for you after you've long slipped away from my arms.
How I cried tears that I did not deserve to.
And then was heard no more.
It should have ended right there.
It should've.

The Memoir of Aderyn Clark
To the highlight of my life, I need to tell you something. You might don't like it, but it is the truth. My truth, at least. Everybody knows there's two sides to every story. I don't know about you, but I hate my side. I hate it with everything of my being. I hate it as much as I hate you. I hate just everything about it. There's no word how to describe how much I hate it. Just a heads up, this is all about you, about how you changed my life. I really have nothing more to say than what I already put down here, so here it goes. All I need you to do is just read it with an open mind. Remember this is my truth, you can see it differently, but it won't change anything for me. Yours Truly, Aderyn ClarkComplete

Don't Look Back
ONC 2024: In college, it was a case of wrong place/wrong time. Eight years later, they have a second chance. But will they take the leap? ___ Prompt 14: "My muse, believe me, waiting for you has been a form of freedom." ___ Excerpt: "Don't look back." Ian stares at me through the screen with his dark, intense gaze. "Don't long for all the things that might have been. Don't chastise yourself for the decisions you've made." For a moment, his words render me silent. "Appreciate all those little indentations that make you who you are," he says with a tender expression. "And remember your superpower." "What superpower?" "Let yourself dream again." A tender smile crosses his features. "Focus that intense drive of yours on the future like you used to do." He's right. For so long, I've been living in survival mode. One foot in front of the other. Stuck in this nightmare, I haven't been able to see any other way forward. Until now. "You're free now," he says, "to make better choices that will make you truly happy." For a moment, I let my mind take me wherever it wants to go. Right now? It wants to be in Boston, beside him. But can I leave everything behind?Complete

Our Royal Love - Part 2 of Royally Yours
"Why don't you divorce him?" the man beside me asked making all the memories hit me like a truck. His smile, his care, his love, his possessiveness, his fight against the families about our marriage, him keeping me and my comfort before everything, that cute banter, romantic kisses, assuring hugs, sincere promises, everything, every single thing about us is still roaming in my mind. How can I leave him when he is the very reason for my existence after I lost everything? But do we have any future? I don't know. "I can't do that. The board members are still not convinced about my abilities and divorcing him is going to backfire on us and they would want me to step down as the CEO. This separation thing needs to wait until I make my place in the organization," I again stalled the advances from my side giving another business reason and he walked away, convinced. I need to act quickly and find the actual culprit before he decides to send a notice from his side. I lost too much in the past 3 months and I am not ready to leave my only reason to live, My Aksh. I have to end this game soon.

" Just leave me alone , abandon me like everyone else ! " she yelled and broke down . I want to console her and badly wanted to hug her, but I can't, I can't after what I had done 3 years ago. I am the sole reason she is in this stage. My heart pangs seeing her like this. I wish I had a time machine so that I could go back and reverse everything that I had done and the things that happened that day. I kneeled in front of her, tears were flowing unknowingly from my eyes. " How can someone abandon their love, Tridha! " I whispered, but deep down, I know I was the one who abandoned his love, his heartbeat from himself. I was the stupid one, but now I will rectify all my mistakes and win her back no matter what it costs me, but I WILL.

Guardian (mxm)
Book 2 in Stray Series. I know I'm not worthy of a second chance. I've taken away so many others' second chances. I took their lives in my hands and each time chose mine over theirs.

It didn't even matter in the end. She's gone now. I'm all alone. Somehow, for some reason, a second chance was bestowed on me. But I don't want it. I can't have it. And he knows it too. -This story has depictions of violence, SA, depression, panic attacks, gore.
