A novella.
Life is a gift. They say it begins with "B" and ends with "D"-Birth to Death. But what matters most is what lies between them: "C." Choice. The choice to create a good memory before it's too late.
Ian Chris has never felt in control of his own life. Moving to a new city, obeying his mother's expectations, and now-an arranged marriage he never agreed to. He thought maybe, just maybe, if he ended it all, he could finally be free.
But then came Emerson Hayes.
The girl who saw him at the edge of the bridge and changed everything.
"It's not about forcing happiness to ignite in your life, Ian. It's about not letting the sadness kill you."
With each quote she leaves behind, Ian begins to see life differently. In another world, in another time, maybe they could have been something more.
But when fate and choice collide, which one truly decides the ending?

SILKEN CHAINS [ BOOK 1]
**Silken Chains** Is a gripping tale of forbidden love, power, and sacrifice, centered around Kim Ryan, a ruthless yet charismatic Korean Mafia leader, and Isabella Harper, a fiercely independent woman caught in a web of danger and desire. Despite their stark differences-Ryan's dark, commanding world of crime clashes with Isabella's principled, vibrant spirit-their paths collide when they discover they are step-siblings, bound by a tangled family history. Yet, the undeniable pull between them ignites a passionate, all-consuming love that defies societal norms, family ties, and the dangerous forces conspiring to tear them apart. Ryan, a man who rules Seoul's underworld with an iron fist, is possessive and unyielding, his love for Isabella bordering on obsession. "You're mine, Isabella," he growls in a heated moment, his dark eyes blazing. "No one-not family, not my enemies, not even the universe-will take you from me." Isabella, though initially resistant to his dangerous allure, finds herself drawn to his intensity, whispering in a moment of vulnerability, "I should hate you, Ryan, but my heart betrays me every time you're near." Their chemistry is electric, each encounter laced with tension, intimacy, and a fierce need to protect one another. As they navigate betrayal, rival gangs, and the weight of their forbidden bond, Ryan's mafia empire is threatened, and Isabella becomes a target. The universe seems determined to keep them apart, throwing obstacles like family disapproval, violent turf wars, and moral dilemmas in their path. Yet, their love only grows stronger, fueled by defiance and an unbreakable connection. "Let them try to break us," Ryan declares, his voice low and menacing. "I'll burn this city to the ground before I let you go." Isabella, equally resolute, responds, "I'm not afraid of your world, Ryan. I'm afraid of a life without you."
