Shiver

The thing about running from your past is that it always catches up, usually when you least expect it. Trust me, I've tried. I've spent years burying my secrets, wrapping myself in lies tighter than a second skin, and pretending I'm just another nobody trying to make it in a world that doesn't care. And for a while, it worked. Until Gabriel. He's the kind of man who sees through everything-the walls, the bravado, even the cracks I didn't know existed. He's relentless, infuriating, and always a step ahead, like he's been playing a game I don't understand. And the worst part? He's right. About me, about the danger, about the fact that I can't keep running anymore. Not when the past has come calling, its shadow darker and sharper than I ever imagined. Now, I'm trapped between a man who refuses to let me go and an enemy who knows exactly how to pull me under. But here's the thing: I'm not just the hunted anymore. I'm done playing the victim. Gabriel wants answers? Fine. He'll get more than he bargained for. And the past? Let it come-I've got more fight in me than anyone's ready for. Because if there's one thing I've learned, it's this: sometimes the truth is the most dangerous weapon of all.
