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? **************
Claire -
Love, pain, and then again love. Life revolves around different phrases but mine is stuck in between them. I always believed in love but after what happened with Scarlet, I never imagined that I can, too, ever fall in love.
Ryan -
Life is nothing but memories, beautiful, sad, peaceful, exciting, and terrifying memories, see... It's all about memories. So instead of dwelling on them like crazy, let's make those memories full of memories for as long as you can so you don't have any regret in the end that you didn't live up enough.
Markus -
They said Love is the reason behind unbeatable courage and is an unknown power to conquer the world. I said to add in this quote that it is the reason behind many sins as well.
Scarlett -
Love is a feeling, an emotion that fleets forever, lighting up our world, something everyone, for sure, experiences. But I fell in love with him so deep, that he never let me stand back and see the light.
Alana -
Live life to the fullest extent that they can't recognize you when you're being all elegant and professional, leaving them wondering over and over again that how you got this high. Keep two sides, one professional and the other one crazy, and the latter should be the reserved one.
Rowan -
Except for my favourite people, I pretty much prefer fun and myself rather than stuck my ass somewhere, where I probably shouldn't be until she came and priorities changed.
Claire's father -
Balance is the most important expect of life. Once you lose your balance, it can never get back whether it's about body or life. You will be devastated for the rest of your life if you won't try to get it back.

No one can ever know what will happen next. Any change of events can end you with a person or fate you can never imagine yourself to be with. But fate is not always blissful.

In their journey of life which was filled with countless damages, continuous failures and consistent trying, they finally found love which was always waiting for them to reach it.

A story that continuously held them too near to each other yet so far from each other.
But will Claire ever be able to love somebody after Scarlet and Markus? Can she even face Ryan with her truth? What that truth even actually was that Ryan didn't know? But the real question was that how much could Ryan actually take?
Let's read together to find out!
