Chapter 0.5: Welcome
Quote for this book: “When a woman is used to getting hurt, she won’t know what to do when someone starts to truly appreciate her. So, she pushes him away.” — Unknown
Tzarina escaped from the man who destroyed her, never expecting to be found by the man who would change her life. She has struggled. She has fought. She has hurt. But now, perhaps it is finally time to find peace and happiness.
Christian never planned on rescuing a stranger, yet the moment he finds Tzarina alone on the streets, walking away is no longer an option. His heart simply will not allow him to abandon someone in need. And as this stranger slowly learns to trust him, the walls built around her heart begin to crumble.
But fate has one final cruelty waiting for them. And some secrets do not just break hearts or ruin lives; they demand the ultimate sacrifice. Sometimes, loving someone means letting them go. But will they?
An Almost Love contains themes of past abuse, psychological trauma, and emotional violence. If any of this feels too heavy or triggering, I ask that you proceed with caution or not at all.
This story was once titled: The Anecdote of the Abandoned Girl and A Woman Who Struggled.
