"I've had to second guess myself a lot over the years. I've had to put up walls. I've had to run away and push things down in order to keep others from hurting me. But...this, right now, is something I've never been more certain of."

Following another brutal fight with Rachel and Jensen's unexpected confession, Roman finds himself stuck at a fork in the road. Years worth of abuse and neglect have cultivated into a broken sense of worth, leaving him unsure of how long it'll take to move past his greatest hurdles. And when a familiar face from his past reappears to cause trouble, the future he was working toward feels out of reach.
With the stakes being at their highest, with more than just his heart on the line, Roman has to decide what type of change he has to make next.
He has to find the path that's right for him.

*Note: My story received a mature rating according to Wattpad guidelines, and while I have tried to get rid of it, they believe my story is appropriately rated, which I beg to differ with. Please do not feel intimidated by the mature rating, as I can assure you that this story does not deal with any sort of explicit content in the smut or erotic category. The world is cruel, and Dareen Abu feels helpless. She's just going with the flow of what society tells her to do: go to college, get your degree, and work for the rest of your life like a robot. But her mind is always on her dreams: becoming a writer, finding love, and not having to worry about her finances. Writing is her safe haven. She utterly adores romance and fantasies about it all day, inserting herself in her character's shoes for some thrill in her rather boring life. Though her life is a lot greater than most people's, she notices her family's struggles. They came into the country with only a bag of items, after all; however, after seventeen years, they still haven't been able to break free from the minimum wage cage. Not to mention that getting a job nowadays is harder than ever, which she's personally seen her father struggle with. After six months, he finally lands a job, but it's yet another damn driving job that he isn't getting paid well for. What he is good at is cooking. He may not be primarily passionate about it in this given moment since he's been in survival mode for the past seventeen years, but perhaps a cushy private chef job where rich people let him experiment with all kinds of organic goods and in return eat Michelin-star-worthy food, for which he gets paid well, would be a win-win situation for everyone. But just how will Dareen help her father get a better job? And little does she know that perhaps she may benefit from her pursuit to help him. Dive into Dareen's journey by giving this story a good read to find out just what happens to her and her family... and her heart?

I've been doing it since the day my mother taught me to hide in closets and wait for the monsters to pass. Trusting people? Loving them? That's how you get broken.
