"They say when lost, love is felt the most."
It's all stitched together like a wound stitched by a killer in blood and something dark.
The killer only thinks of them as his flowers, something that can be crushed with the slightest pressure.
But what happens when an ordinary girl named Esme becomes his next target because of a long forgotten promise?
Will she be able to find the killer before much is lost,
OR
Become one of his flowers marking the grave of another, a proof of the killer left by himself?

Moments not Mine
Esme was the last person to see her best friend alive. Now, everyone-friends, family, even the police-suspects her of a crime she didn't commit. Desperate to prove her innocence, she uncovers a hidden digital world her best friend had kept secret: a web of fake accounts, cryptic messages, and untold clues. One account, in particular, becomes her lifeline-a place where her best friend confided, joked, and dropped hints about her life. Here, Esme meets someone unexpected; actually two someones: two mysterious guys who help her piece together the puzzle, but neither of them knows what the other looks like. Every conversation is charged with curiosity, trust, and tension, as they navigate messages, hidden posts, and the shadows of a life Esme never truly knew. In a world where everyone is suspect and nothing is as it seems, Esme must follow the digital breadcrumbs to uncover the real killer-and maybe discover a connection she never expected. Author's Note 💌 Hey lovely readers! ✨ First off, thank you so much for opening Moments Not Mine. This story has been swirling in my head for a while, and I finally decided to put it all down for you to experience. Esme's journey is mysterious, tense, and kinda emotional-so buckle up 😅. She's just an ordinary girl caught in extraordinary circumstances, and I hope you enjoy every twist, clue, and secret she uncovers. Oh, and a little heads-up: there's a lot of online mystery, secrets, and a tiny dash of tension (and maybe some sparks 😏), so keep your eyes peeled and your theories ready. Thanks for reading, for commenting, for theorizing, and just for vibing with this story. Your support means the world 💛. Stay curious, -Esme's very nervous but excited author 😅💫

Redefined every time someone new uses it, and sometimes in a more vile and lascivious way. Love was never on the table. Completely erased from his vocabulary after his mother died an unforgiving death. However, sometimes the feeling can emerge from even the darkest places in the world. Twisted and depraved. Behind the closed doors of a kidnapper's home. Or from the void that swirls in the chest of someone's missing heart. Even between the forbidden love of an angel and a demon. Love can come in all forms, in all contexts, and can form from even the smallest smidge of scorching hate. There is never light without darkness. There is never yin without yang. There are never days without nights. There is never love without hate. There is never life without death. Even villains and demons can fall in love with heroes and angels. His salvation comes from her, and her destruction comes from him. Like clockwork, they are a match made in the universe; polar opposites, but the attraction is never stronger.Complete

Wives' Murder Club
The dates match. Everything added up. How could I not realize it? The bodies. The charges. The gossip. The rumours. The accuracy. The deaths. Every single body went missing. They were right, I should have listened. I knew something was weird, but not this bad. Church on Sundays, book club on Mondays, Bible study on Wednesdays, their kids' games on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Charity donations on Fridays, and dates on Saturdays. I guess its true what they say. The biggest monsters don't hide in the darkness of your closet. Instead, they smile in your face in broad daylight. The worst demons don't conceal themselves in your shadow. They thrive in the light. The darkest souls own the brightest smiles. A light so captive, you don't even realize they've gotten so close. Don't even realize when you've befriended them and their darkness has touched you. So, Sometimes, to find the ugliest monster, you have to look in the mirror. P.S, the tags should serve as a warning as well. This story is my own, which means I own the characters, plot, etc. However, I did get some inspiration from James Patterson's WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB, just with a slight twist ;)
