Hiriana

Haven moves to a new town, leaving all her past behind. She is hellbent on starting a new life and erasing everything she has been through.
She comes across Aiden Walters, one of the most dangerous gang members of the town.
The town fears him. They would do anything to not cross paths with him.
Aiden Walters is Bad News.
What happens when Haven catches his attention? Will she stay away just like everyone or will she realize that deep down he is broken and lonely?

Tears streamed down my face while his fingers lingered on my skin. I shook with an unsettling feeling when I looked at his bruised knuckles. He hit him.I still couldn't get used to the way he gets threatened by any man just breathing next to me. I had to ask him. I had to.
"Why me?", I asked, ny voice hoarse, afraid of the answer.

"Cause you're the only reason that keeps me sane", he replied. His eyes burned with assurance.

Chains and Roses

Something about last night helped me have a better sleep. I did not know whether it was because of the assurance that Anna would be safe or the certainty that Aiden would always be there for me no matter what. 


I woke up later than usual with heavy body aches. I blamed it on Lisa for tiring me out by taking me out. My daily ritual continued until it was time for me to go to work. I had second thoughts about going to work with my fatigue, so I decided to inform James and go late. 


"Hey, James.", I chirped into the phone. " I can't make it early today. Is it possible to cover for me for a few hours?" 


"Sure, Haven. Is everything okay?", He asked, worried. 


"Yeah, just a little sick, Jamie.", I said. 


It was understandable for him to be worried because I had not usually asked him to cover for me unless it was an emergency. 


I made my way down the stairs and greeted Martha. Aiden was at the breakfast table as expected. Before he could say anything, I beat him to it.
