Charlotte Monet has always been the quiet one-the perfect student, the dutiful daughter of a powerful mafia family. But beneath the glamorous life, she's been hiding a darkness no one sees: depression that has haunted her since she was twelve, the devastating loss of her triplet brother, and a predator she calls her tutor. For years, Charlotte suffers in silence, trapped between the violence outside her doors and the abuse within. Haunted by her dead brother, isolated from the only people who care, and pushed to the edge, she must fight to survive-both the shadows of her past and the enemies who would use her pain against her. --- "You did so good," I whispered into her hair. "You tried. That's everything. You don't have to go further than this. Ever. Not until you decide." A shaky breath left her. "It doesn't feel like enough." "It is," I said firmly. "It's more than enough. You tried in spite of every ghost screaming in your head. That's strength, love. That's yours." She tightened her grip on my hoodie, burying her face deeper. My hand found the back of her head, fingers gliding gently through her hair-slow, steady strokes, never trapping, only grounding. "You're safe," I murmured. "Here with me. Just us." Her reply was a whisper against my chest. "Me and you." "Always," I said. "Me and you."

Rated: MA 18+ The familiarity of our small towns Main Street almost overwhelmed me. I never pictured I'd be back here since I left. Yet here I was again, 15 minutes from my childhood home in Greenwood. Although I never thought I'd be Hazel Campbell again but here I am. "I parked over here" Maddy lead me to the right where her car was parked in the guest spot. "It feels weird to have seasons again, it was always so hot in Miami" I sighed cracking my window. Even the air smelt nostalgic as the orange and brown leaves littered the streets. "I couldn't live over there, Greenwood has my heart even though ain't shit around" Maddy laughed as her phone went off. "Oh! It's Chris he asked what we're doing later!" "Chris.. Wilder? You guys keep in touch??" My jaw dropped slightly I hadn't heard that name in 9 years almost. I fidgeted with my fingers in my lap fighting the memories. I believed in the butterfly effect, I think I fell out of my destiny long ago and now I'm just being punished with a life where things will always fall apart. "Of course I do, you know we've always had tension" she laughed starting her car pulling out of the parking spot. "Please we should go! We can get the band back together!!" Except we'd be missing one person.. still I put a fake smile on my face and agreed to go. Chris wasn't the problem, his bitch ass best friend was. I guess you could say my ex bitch ass best friend. -------------- this book is rated 18+ and contains: Dark themes, dark romance, mentions of underage drinking, smoking, sex, BDSM, bad language, mentions of abuse, depression, and possibly more.

Jisung is exhausted. Burnt out from performing, from expectations, from being known by everyone but seen by no one. On a rainy morning in a city that never really slows down, he walks into a small café tucked between a laundromat and a closed-down bookstore - the kind of place that doesn't ask questions. Rin just wants to get through another shift without the espresso machine exploding or flooding the back sink. The café isn't fancy, but it's hers - a quiet routine, a rhythm she can live inside. She doesn't recognize the guy with the complicated coffee order and tired eyes, and when he comes back the next day, and the day after, she still doesn't ask. Between mismatched mugs, bad puns on chalkboards, after-hours cleanups, and silence that doesn't need filling, something grows. Something safe. Something real. She doesn't know who he is. He doesn't know she used to be someone else, too. But somehow, this café becomes a place neither of them want to leave. Even when the outside world catches up. ━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━━━━ This is a soft slice-of-life friendship story set in a quiet café. It's platonic, grounded, and full of late-night vulnerability, awkward honesty, quiet defiance, and tea that says everything they won't. No romance. Just two people learning to be themselves - slowly, safely, together. A soft, platonic story about showing up, staying quiet, and finding home where you weren't looking for it. Thanks for reading. I hope this feels like a warm drink on a heavy day. ~CURRENTLY UNDER EDITING~
