[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

Iyesha froze, staring at her phone. One year. She disappeared for one year. But it feels like twenty years. Did her mother ever miss her? She never bothered to look for Iyesha. Not a single text nor call coming from her mother's end. 


Does she know I'm still alive? Will she be happy for me? Series of questions keep popping in her mind. Racing like bullets, they held her fingers captive. 


How will she face the woman, who bends her to meet high standards of an ideal 'woman', only to be sold to a violent man with a twisted personality? 


In the end, she can't answer the call. She's too scared to talk to her. Alice is eyeing her cautiously. She turned off her phone and dropped it on the table. 


"I'm sorry." She said to no one. But Alice still caught on her words. 


"What's that apology for? For hiding? For not coming out to face him? Or for running away from everything?" Iyesha quailed.
