Hate You Not

[Excerpt] I looked at the eyes of my lover, so beautiful, so bright. A tear dropped from those pretty eyes and rolled down my lover's face. We both are in pain, we both burn in the same fire. Two hearts that loves but is tainted by the past, which can't be erased. I watch the gun pointed at my face, a bitter smile graced my lips and I gently wrapped my hand around it. I placed it over my beating heart, who's every beat has my lover's name. "Go ahead. Kill me. Kill this stupid organ of mine, for it is still beating for you." I smile. A nerve wrecking sob leaves them. The shell of the broken person I love, cries bitterly. *Bang* And everything goes quiet. And dark. *** MALVINA ASHFORD: I closed the closet door with all the skeletons in it, locked it and left it in the bottom of the ocean, now I have only one purpose - protect my brother. My life was fine until he arrived in it, with the key to the closet along with him. Wreaked havoc on my mind and heart and kept me craving for more. ADRIAN REED: I am not a misanthrope, but my reputation earned me this title. I was fine with it until she arrived in my life, wreaked havoc on my heart, made me crave her and disappeared one day. Now I have her back in my life, this time she's not leaving, I will make sure of that. When love meets secrets and pasts meets present, new stories are made. A heart that can't love and one that don't feel love, how will they become each other's reason to love?
