The Things We Couldn't Forget by Shelby_Painter

Growing up with a nickname like Misery can seem like the worst thing to happen to a girl. That is, until you find out that your father is a serial killer. Ten years after escaping the town that would never allow her to escape her father's dark shadow, Missouri Jacobs returns to Faulkner Montana with one mission in mind. She needs to settle her family's estates, then she can take that money and start a new life, maybe even with a new name, someplace no one knows her or the stories that surrounded her family. However, returning to her childhood home brings back all of the memories Missouri has been spending years trying to forget. And a chance run in with a boy she once loved with all of her heart makes not drowning in those memories over and over even harder. All set to leave, Missouri wants nothing more than to put Faulkner and everything that happened there truly in the past once and for all, but then... Another girl goes missing. Then another. Then another. Wrapped in a fog of déjà vu and separating the present from her past, Missouri is determined not to be blindsided this time. This new killer might be playing games with her, but this time, she's going to be the one to end this all, or she'll die trying.

But her husband, Raeland, is more than just a dangerous man-he's a mystery wrapped in cold stares and darker secrets. Determined to break through his icy exterior, Valenti embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the man behind the walls. "I don't need your pity," Raeland growls, his voice sharp and cutting. "I don't need anything from you." Valenti stands firm, meeting his icy stare. "I'm not offering pity, Raeland. I'm offering a chance. To let someone in." But in the underworld of power, loyalty, and bloodshed, trust is the rarest currency. Raeland's world is one of danger and deception, where letting someone close could mean death. As old enemies resurface and the stakes rise, Valenti must decide if her desire to reach him is worth the risk. "You think you can fix me?" Raeland's voice is low, bitter. "You don't know the half of it." "And I don't need to," Valenti replies, her voice steady. "But I know what it's like to be alone. And I think we could be something-if you let me in." In this high-stakes game of love, power, and survival, their connection might be the only thing that saves them-or destroys them both.

How much more can she compress inside a pot till it bursts open? She built a castle of her own and her crown out of the sand. How much more till everything slips away from her hand?

In her new journey, she finds what she had once lost, and forms new bonds. The stone-cold heart gets melted by friendship and most of all love. Hidden secrets get discovered, pictures behind the curtains get revealed, and her haunting past rises to the surface, chasing her, vowing to destroy whatever she has ever built, vowing to destroy her. Loss. Hatred. Wrath. And Love. The journey of Luna within the rising chaos. How much more till she losses humanity?
