They were never meant to survive.

Drawn into a world of power, deception, and violence, they played the game for too long-until the only way out was to burn it all down. With the collapse of the organization that once controlled their every move, they are left with nothing but scars, stolen identities, and the fragile hope of a life beyond the shadows.

But rebuilding isn't easy. Ghosts of the past linger, and the fear of being hunted never truly fades. In a quiet coastal town, they attempt to forge something real-trading weapons for work, lies for tentative trust. Yet the question remains: Can two people who spent their lives surviving ever truly learn to live?

A story of obsession, destruction, and redemption, "Shadows We Burn" is a haunting tale of two souls trying to outrun the darkness they created-and the love that might just save them.All Rights Reserved

Echoes of Shadows by KatherineLvd

Beneath the Shadows - Part 3 Some people say that marriage changes everything-that it tames a man, softens a woman, turns fire into quiet embers. But they didn't know us. Caleb and I had been through too much to let anything turn to ash. If anything, marriage made us stronger, sharper, more dangerous. We weren't just lovers. We were a team. A force of nature. Together, we rebuilt Caleb's empire piece by piece until it became something no one could touch. More powerful than ever. Untouchable. Unshakable. At least, that's what I thought. It had been nearly a year since Caleb slid that emerald ring onto my finger, a promise that felt like a declaration of war against the rest of the world. And even now, with everything we'd achieved, I still carried shadows inside me. The trauma of the past-the betrayal, the pain, Ben-had left scars I couldn't erase. But I'd learned to use them. To let those shadows make me stronger instead of weaker. If there was one thing Caleb taught me, it was how to survive in a world built on blood and lies. And I was thriving. The woman I used to be-the one who doubted herself, who let others decide her worth-was gone. In her place stood someone new. Someone who could stand next to Caleb and not just survive, but rule. But life has a funny way of testing you just when you think you've won. I didn't know it yet, but the peace we'd fought so hard to build was about to crack. And this time, the betrayal wouldn't come from the outside. This time, it was hiding in plain sight.
