"New York, Old Friend, New Problem"
Minata has just stepped foot in New York City, ready to conquer her new life in the big city-but things aren't going quite as planned. Overwhelmed by the crowds, confused by subway maps, and lost in the chaos, she feels like a small-town girl trying to find her way in a world that's much bigger than she imagined. But when she bumps into Jake-a long-lost childhood friend she barely remembers-everything starts to feel a little too... familiar. His mysterious demeanor and subtle warnings about the dangers lurking in the city make Minata question everything. As the past collides with the present, she finds herself walking a fine line between trust and suspicion, wondering if she's really just navigating the streets of New York... or if there's something more to Jake's sudden reappearance. In a city where secrets hide behind every corner, Minata may be about to discover more than she bargained for. And the question is-will she survive the truth?Complete
Obsession.
If you like fantasy/romance you should try my story The Flower Longed Death. It is written a LOT better than this one is! -------------------------- "You must've got the wrong impression if you keep expecting to get away with shit like this, so let me make things clear," He says with a calm smile. He moves his face closer to mine, losing the lighthearted grin that had previously cooled my nerves. I get a better look at the scar across the bridge of his nose, and the vague one X'ed onto his lips. Now I want them even more. -------------------------- Eighteen year old Mileva never thought her past would catch up to her after leaving years ago to live in New York City. She didn't think she wanted it to. However, she also didn't think she would cross paths with a guy like Valen, the Italian Mafia's heir. He's only twenty three, but he's somehow the most attractive and intimidating man she has ever met, let alone heard of. Mileva battles her anxiety adjusting to this new life of hers, while Valen is just getting comfortable with his new obsession. -------------------------- Word count: 110,000 There is a lot of graphic content, so please read carefully! List of specific warnings can be found in the introduction. The writing gets better as the story progresses, I promise.Complete
