[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.

 “How can I? When I’m tied up like this?” If I speak out my voice I’m afraid it will shake because of unspeakable fear clawing in my throat. 


I'm screwed
