Blurb:
My name is
Maya, and I'm not the same girl I was a month ago.
There is an emptiness I carry around in my chest
now. A broken heart caused by grief.
There are also dark nights where I have trouble
breathing as I feel the heavy weight of loss rushing through my veins, painful
moments where I can remember my entire being scream in agony as I held onto my
father's cold, lifeless hand.
Then there is always a hero to every story, isn't
there? A hero who I despised from the moment he opened his mouth.
His name is Alexander. He is my inevitable I never
expected to find. The one my broken heart leads me to. His existence, his touch,
everything he did to make my pain bearable will leave a mark on me
forever.
Yet, I know that when I'm gone, he'll only remember
me as a fading memory.
Excerpt:
My hands trembling on his hard chest, I opened my
mouth, and the words just tumbled out before I could stop myself.
“Maybe at another time this could’ve turned into
something.”
“I believe it’s already something, Maya.”
“Yeah…”
He was right. It was already something. But it wasn’t
something that would be enough. Not for me. Not when he had someone else in his
heart. Not when I couldn’t be the one he needed, wanted. Craved even.
“Maybe it could have been something more,
then.”
“Yes. Maybe,” he murmured and brushed a gentle
kiss on both of my closed eyelids. The act was so tender that it hurt my heart, and I
was forced to close my eyes again. Tighter this time.
“Tomorrow, I’ll get over you, Alexander Ross. As
soon as I’m on that plane, I’ll get over you,” I said breathlessly.
His hands froze on my thighs, and I opened my eyes.
He couldn’t even meet my gaze.
“What else would you like to do tonight?” he asked instead.
I forced a smile on my lips. We had reached the end
of my dream.
“I think I’m done for the night. I have to get up
early tomorrow.” I got
up from his lap—ignoring the hands that were trying to hold me down.
The frown I came to love so much appeared on his
face again.
I was going to miss everything about this
man.
About the
Author
I'm an avid reader. Therefore, a big dreamer. I lov
e
nothing more than to escape real life to find those very few magical moments in a
book. I love how it has the power of stealing your worries away, putting a smile on
your face, and of course sometimes making you crush on fictional characters. I can't
even begin to describe how exciting it is to give life to new characters and fall for
them. It's definitely a different kind of addiction.
I'm still searching for my own happy ending. Until
that happens, I'll live vicariously through my own characters.
