[UNDER MAJOR EDITING]

Ever since I was a child, I can see the strings.
Strings that connect us to other people.
Strings that reveal what we feel towards others.
Strings that can change it's color.
From Red to Black.
Just like love, that can turn into hatred.
From White to Black.
Just like friendships, that can turn into betrayal.


Alice Jade Martinez is an 18-year-old girl possessing the ability to see the fated strings. Working as a matchmaker, she bonds people to their fated partner.

But as nice as it sounds, her gift comes with a curse. She's forbidden to fall in love. If she does, the string's curse will activate and instantly kill that person... She fell in love once.
And he died. That's why she swears she'll never fall in love again.

A novel with overbearing characters. A series of love stories bonded by the fated string.

This is a story about a girl who can't fall in love. And a boy who can't feel anything.

The Matchmaker who can see the red string of fate

﻿I coughed. Trying to dispel the poisonous air I inhaled. I clawed on my chest. Digging my nails to my bare skin. Sparks of stinging pain rushed to my brain. Sharp knives slice my skin. Terror clots my veins. I’m badly shaking. Out of dread and trepidation. 


Flashes of images crossed my mind. The cold foreign grip of black smoke is scorching my skin. I inhale so fast my lungs can’t keep up in filtering sulfur from the air. Sharp spikes invade my brain. Tearing down my skull, digging out my brain. Looking for something. 


Trying to take something. I can’t fight it. My mind is on the brink of breakdown. My eyelids are fluttering fast, my body shaking uncontrollably. This is torture. They’re trying to drive me insane. Plucking out every cell that’s keeping me intact. 


Drawing out every memory I buried deep inside. They forced it out. Making me feel all the afflicted torment all over again. 


I saw myself inside the dark basement. Locked up and chained in the neck like a dog.
