In the wake of a devastating loss, a woman must unearth the dangerous secrets of her past to protect the future, forcing her to confront the powerful family-and the man she once loved-who shattered her life.
Three months after the tragic hit-and-run that killed her vibrant best friend, Cheryl, Clara Kirsh is barely holding herself together for the sake of her young daughter, Ashley. Grief-stricken and paranoid, Clara is haunted by the feeling that Cheryl's death was no accident. When a box of Cheryl's belongings arrives from the vet clinic, it reveals a chilling, hidden message: "HE KNOWS."
Driven by a mother's fierce need to protect her child, Clara's investigation pulls her back into the orbit of the Radleys, the tech dynasty that has always been a source of pain. Eric Radley, the arrogant, brilliant CMO of Xela Tech and Clara's former boss, is the only one who might hold the keys to his father's secrets. Their history is a tangled web of explosive professional rivalry and a single, reckless night in Chicago that ended in heartbreak and radio silence.
As Clara digs deeper, she discovers Cheryl's secret relationship with John, a mysterious mechanic from Xela Tech who also vanished without a trace. The threads connect to a much darker truth: the hit-and-run that killed Clara's own parents over a decade ago.
She uncovers a monstrous conspiracy at the heart of Xela Tech-Project Prometheus, a dangerous neural technology developed by her own parents that is being tested on unsuspecting victims on a specific stretch of highway.
Clara realizes she is not just searching for answers; she is racing against a ruthless enemy who will kill to protect their secrets. The silence between her and Eric is filled with eight years of unsaid words, longing, and a love that might be their only chance at survival-or the thing that destroys them completely.

Two meters one mile
After a frightening accident, Elizabeth Hayes's father hires Derek Carter to be her personal bodyguard - a quiet, watchful presence who's supposed to keep her safe and unseen. Elizabeth expected a protector; she didn't expect someone who could look at her like he already knew every hidden thing she tried to hide. Her life is luxurious and carefully controlled, but the fear from that night lingers in every hallway. Derek stands two meters away as professional distance - but slowly, mile-long emotions pull them closer than either of them planned. As secrets surface and danger shadows their steps, Elizabeth must decide whether to trust the one person whose job is to keep her from harm - and whether she can let down the walls she's spent a lifetime building. Two Meters, One Mile is a slow-burn romantic suspense about protection, vulnerability, and the dangerous beauty of letting someone in. 👩❤️👨 Main Characters Elizabeth Hayes - Heiress in a grand, lonely mansion. Polished and reserved on the outside; privately fragile after the accident. Desires real connection but is afraid of risk. Derek Carter - Hired by Elizabeth's father as her bodyguard.

Mr. Hayes - Elizabeth's father; wealthy, controlling, and fiercely protective after the accident. He believes control equals safety. Mrs. Carter - Derek's mother; kind and perceptive, she quietly supports both Derek and Elizabeth in small, meaningful ways.

TELL ME WHO I AM! | Dark Romance | Psychological Thriller |
She wakes up in a stranger's bed, a diamond ring glimmering on her finger - a symbol of promises she cannot remember - a vow forged in a past that's been stolen from her. Everyone says she's fortunate. That she's blessed. That a beautiful home, a devoted fiancé, and a spotless future await her. But when her pulse falters under his gentle touch... when her skin shivers instead of warming - something deep within resonates with the alarming feeling that something is profoundly, dangerously wrong. He insists it's for her own safety - that something awful happened, that healing simply takes time - but there's a fire in his eyes, a possessiveness he cannot mask. And somewhere in her mind, a locked box rattles against its chains. And at night, in the quiet... she dreams of another man she does not recognize. Until one day he steps out of the shadows. Not with flowers, but with fire, with danger, with a confession forged in the pure agony of a love forgotten. Not with comfort, but with a storm in his eyes and a voice that trembles when he says- "You promised to remember me," he whispers. "Even if the whole world made you forget." He is not kind. He is not patient. His love is wild - a consuming force - a sin that feels more elemental than redemption. The moment he reaches for her, the carefully woven lie starts to unravel, thread by thread, until the awful, beautiful truth emerges. She doesn't know his name. But her soul does. Now, stranded between two men - the man who offers refuge within a perfect illusion and the man who holds the key to a catastrophic reality - she must make a choice. To stay safely oblivious... or to break free and remember the life that was stolen from her. Because someone made sure she forgot. And they'll do whatever it takes to keep it that way. Some truths are dangerous - and some memories are worth everything.Завершенная история

The memories of her mother's lifeless body, her boyfriend's desperate attempt to save her, and his ultimate sacrifice still burned within her.

The laughter, the love, the life - all lost in an instant. The knife, still lodged in her memory, seemed to pierce her heart anew.
