Takeo My Love Story Novels & Stories

**The Unfinished Story** The next morning, Claire awoke to the soft light of dawn filtering through the curtains, painting the room in hues of gold and pink. For a moment, she lay still, her thoughts a tangled web of past and present. The locket rested on the nightstand beside her, its weight a constant reminder of the words her grandmother had left behind—words that had stirred something deep within her. She reached for it now, running her thumb over the smooth surface, feeling the delicate engraving beneath her fingertips. *Live. Love. Forgive.* The words echoed in her mind, a mantra that felt both daunting and liberating.

After all, love conquers all. I am Marissa Dela Cruz-Montero, and this is my story.

"I just wanted Stephanie to lose all hope. I wanted her to finally understand that Dad and Denton only love me. "And Edwin? He thought I saved him when he was kidnapped as a kid. He fell for me when he heard a piano tune he thought I played." She laughed. "But it was actually Stephanie both times. "The one he truly loves is Stephanie. But too bad—he'll never know the truth." I froze. So... Edwin had the wrong person all along. He hurt me for Kelsey, not knowing I was the one he really loved. My hands trembled as I realized my phone had somehow started recording.

My palm connected hard to his cheek hitting him with a force that had his cheek bent to the other direction and I was glad as my claws scratched at it as blood seeped through. “Try and stop me,” I hissed dangerously at him, shoved him to the side and pushed the long, large door open and walked in hoping I would catch sight of the man my heart was beating for. The man who stole my heart and forever will. My love story with Tagon isn’t that of butterflies or roses, it isn't that of long promises or anything fancy, it's that of blood, plotting and desperation.

She even saw Karsyn as a rival in love. Then again, who could say for sure? Maybe Elena had her heart broken by Ernesto and chose to leave. And now that she was gone, Ernesto realized that he actually loved her? In just a few short moments, Karsyn had already imagined a dramatic, tragic love story unfolding between them. Bored out of her mind, she glanced at the sofa, where her phone was lying—completely out of reach. She had nothing to do while sitting there, held captive by his grip. There was no way she could just keep staring at his face.

I mumbled in annoyance before I approached the desk and decided to clean it again. As I do so, my movements stop and I notice a card. It's an invitation with a black background and blood ink. I read, “The Hiroshi Domain,” nothing else. I furrow my brows and pick it up to read the back. There is only a place and a time there, nothing else.

*** To be continued. Love you all♡♡♡

She whispered, this time in a much lighter tone. “You sure? But you are married to Raph” I asked, playing along with her games. “I don't love him,” she confessed. “ I decided to marry Raph because he is kind and he was the only channel I had to be with you, my love. You are the prize worth fighting for,” her gaze still fixed on mine as she leaned closer. “I love you and will fight the whole world to keep you,” she confessed again, anticipating a response. “I love you too,” I replied

She continued, "By a twist of fate, my soul remained on Saintess Mountain, and I have survived and cultivated here for a thousand years." Her words deeply shocked Kiran, and even Macy's expression changed slightly. "There is true love in this world, and I once truly loved. But in the end, it was worthless, and I was left with nothing but hatred," Lady Meiji continued, turning to Kiran. "Aoki Kosner is a woman who shouldn't exist. Her very presence seems to be a reminder from the heavens that love still matters." "Where is Aoki Kosner?" Kiran asked urgently upon hearing her name. However, he could feel the complexity in Lady Meiji's heart. She used to have true love, but it turned into hatred
