bab ticking bomb

The night before my wedding, I was scrolling through TikTok and came across a "Story Time" video. The girl on screen said, "I loved a man for ten years, and three times, he almost killed me." The first time, their relationship was exposed. His parents disapproved and forced them apart. After they broke up, she swallowed half a bottle of sleeping pills, desperate to see him again. The second time, she was pregnant with their child. Because they couldn't raise it, she was forced to have an abortion and hemorrhaged so badly she nearly died. The third time, she heard he was getting married and was completely devastated. Finally, she whispered, "If you don't come tomorrow, I'll see you in the next life." In the caption, she'd tagged an account. The moment I clicked on it, I saw a picture of my own back as I tried on my wedding dress, pinned to the top of the profile. At the same time, my fiancé, Liam, sent me a message. "Ava, something urgent came up. We have to postpone the wedding."

​"Love isn't a gentle wave. It is an all-consuming fire." ​Kento has been hopelessly in love with Aiko since they were children in the quiet, traditional streets of Kyoto. His love is not a sweet fairytale; it is a chaotic, desperate obsession. He would break his own bones just to see her smile. But to Aiko, he is just an overwhelming boy she keeps running away from. ​When Aiko leaves for Tokyo, Kento puts his entire life on hold. For eight long years, he waits for her, chasing a ghost while ignoring the true love standing right next to him. ​But when Aiko finally returns, she breaks his heart into pieces. She is in love with someone else—a rebellious student activist named Daichi. Desperate to marry him, she begs Kento to help her trick her traditional parents. Hurt and blinded by sudden, toxic jealousy, Kento snaps. He betrays her secrets, triggering a chain of violence that ends in Daichi’s tragic death. ​Crushed by horrific guilt, Kento leaves everything behind and flees to the cold, fast-paced streets of Tokyo. He joins Aiko’s activist movement as a nameless volunteer, quietly accepting her cruel, abusive treatment as his rightful punishment. He does not want her forgiveness; he only wants to bleed for his sins. ​But destiny plays a twisted game. Kento’s raw, street-smart passion accidentally turns him into the celebrated face of the movement, overshadowing the memory of the man he killed. Unable to bear his rising fame, Aiko plots the ultimate revenge: a planned bomb attack to take his life. ​Kento discovers the trap before the rally. He knows she wants him dead. Yet, he steps onto the stage anyway, unprotected and at peace. ​Because for Kento, dying by her hand is the only true way to atone. ​A Question for the Reader ​If you had to choose between a peaceful life with someone who loves you, or burning your entire world down to ashes just to be a shadow in the life of the one you adore... would you still step onto that stage, knowing the bomb is about to detonate?

SNIPPET 1 The tunnel was located in a secluded part of the Terrorists zone. The rat, Ryan and Lynnette all crawled into the tunnel. It was wide enough to fit a human given that the human was small figured and crawled on all fours. In the tunnel, permeated a very annoying smell. “What smells like that?” Lynnette asked with a frown. “This is where all the terrorists drop their shits.” The rat replied. “Smells annoying, right? Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it.” “It’s just the smell of Terrorists poop. Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it,” Ryan chuckled. “I don’t want to get used to the smell of terrorists’ poop!” Lynnette itched her nose. SNIPPET 2 How do I leave this godforsaken place? Ryan asked himself, studying the men and their movements. Then, he remembered what had happened earlier! The people that saw him were terrified by his appearance.

The bullets from their guns dashed towards Ryan, but shockingly, he jumped into the air and avoided them all! His speed was extraordinary and this shocked the men including Ryan himself.

Thirty days. One assignment. He wasn't supposed to feel anything. Caden Ashvale doesn't do attachments. He does jobs — clean, precise, final. His last one should have been simple: protect a civilian woman for thirty days, then disappear permanently. He accepted that ending a long time ago. Sera Calloway didn't ask to be protected. She didn't ask for the quiet, unreadable man who inserted himself into her life, who listens like the world slows down when she speaks, who makes her laugh and then looks at her afterward like he's memorizing something. She's not wrong. He is. What begins as an assignment becomes something neither of them planned — and Caden knows, with the same precision he knows everything, exactly how it has to end. Not because he doesn't love her. Because he does. Heart is Ticking is a near-modern action romance about a man who dismantles his own happiness with careful hands so the woman he loves never has to grieve him properly. About a woman who would have fought for him if he'd let her. About thirty days that were supposed to mean nothing and ended up meaning everything. Some countdowns aren't about time running out. Some are about deciding what you're willing to lose.

A bomb was strapped to my chest, with only a ten-minute countdown. I was forced to call Don Logan Carbone, my boyfriend, "I've been kidnapped! Don't—" "What the hell are you playing at?" he snarled. "I told you I was handling business. How dare you joke about this!" His furious roar came through the phone, followed by the sweet, coquettish voice of another woman. Even the kidnappers shook their heads and sighed. "Logan doesn't give a damn about this whore. We grabbed the wrong one." Before the world went white, I sent my last text. Goodbye, Logan. I hope we never meet again. My body was obliterated. But my soul was trapped, chained to his side. And then, I overheard a secret.
