Summary

Jessica works hard to overcome the fear and pain that comes from her troubled past. She shares an apartment with her protective older brother, Andrew, and her two year old daughter. Her twin brother and his girlfriend live down the hall. Jess doesn't talk to strangers unless she has too and avoids any human interaction. Everyone in the hectic city of Seattle seems more then content to leave her alone. Until Adrian shows up at her work. Jess has no clue why this strange man has taken such an interest in her. All she knows is she can't let him in. If she fell for him it would only mean more pain for her and her daughter.

Translations

I want to start by thanking you for giving my newest story a try. One of the main characters speaks in Greek occasionally so I went ahead and wrote up translations. I will be adding to it and adding more as I continue to write. So if you read something and didn’t think the translation was here check again because I may have added it since you last looked. Thank you again!

Translation

Agápi mou - my love

Gamó - fuck

Mitéra tou theoú ekeíni i gynaíka - mother of god that woman

ο ángelós mou - my angel

Tha ton skotóso. - I’ll kill him.

Ouáou eínai katapliktikó - Wow she’s amazing

Kolotrypida! The ginete me autin these travaei mesha. - Asshole! What about her draws them in?

I think the translation should be provided with the Greek words where these were mentioned instead of in a chapter of their own.

hey, a few suggestions with your translations for your story from a greek lol.

agapi mou is correct
fuck = gamoto
katapliktiko = you would say for a thing or place
katapliktiki = female
katapliktikos = male
kolotripa is correct lol however you wouldn't hear a greek saying that to someone. you're better off using the word "malaka" which is literally their favourite word and basically means asshole/wanka.
hope that helps and happy to suggest in comments on chapters as I read along maybe that could make it easier to edit? I also like the suggestion of adding the English translation after the foreign word either in italics or in brackets. looking forward to this story

NN: It got me from chapter 1. I’m sad it ended, but I loved the whole story. It was very emotional to read parts of it, and the dynamics, characters, and plot twists were amazing. I’d like to have an epilogue... 10years from now. What happened to Dewey? Even Jordan hahahaha

Hester: Very good, was short too the point , not lingering on the abuse, pity you didn’t let him step in earlier knowing the abuse was happening, but this is almost real for some women who have gone through it, just wish they could all have a princess at te end of thete tunnel

Monster's Second Chance

Angela Mullen-Akporiaye: I like the banter between Aldrich and Lucy. She’s sassy and kind. He’s vulnerable and strong. There’s a verisimilitude in the way that they relate. And when he came looking for her, she didn’t shrink. Bravo!
