Everyone has scars, pasts, and painful realities that they are fighting for deep down within themselves. But sometimes pain is never enough and there come moments when you just can't stand the universe. 

After six years of constant failure, consistent trying, and disappointment, Claire was hopeless when it came to finding Markus. Devoted her youth in just one task yet became one of the successful personality of the business world. Always void of emotions and only one person she ever had as a family, she never lived her life. But things started to get excited when Ryan came barging into her life with only being 20 minutes late. It's the story of two completely different souls, hunting through the stages of love, bickering, and painful pasts, only to crave for each other. 

A story that held two souls too close to each other yet so far from each other. But will Claire ever be able to love someone after Scarlett and Markus? Can she ever face Ryan with her truth? What that truth even was? But the real question was that how much could Ryan actually take? And what if someone endangers their lives when love becomes inevitable?

Too Close to Be Yours

I woke up from my deep sleep to the sound of a door closing. The medicines threw me into the slumber of unconsciousness. But it was mainly not the sound of it that woke me up but the feel of someone's murmuring beside me, which I first thought of as a dream, a hallucination but it only grew and when I finally woke up, there was no one, - the room was empty and silent. I took a deep breath and smelled a light fragrant of coconut perfume. 


I was right, there was someone. A female actually. I looked at the side for the time and it was 5:30 in the morning. It was just a little dark outside. I pushed myself up carefully and sat straight and only then did I see a bouquet of flowers near me. I moved forward and picked them up. 


A harsh breath escaped my mouth as I looked at those white flowers, tinted, without any doubt with nothing but blood. I just knew it was blood and it made me feel disgusted. Whose blood it could have been? Who else did he kill?
