NOTE, THE WRITING STYLE IS TOTALLY INTENTIONAL. Preface by Dr. Nikolai Dvitra My name is Dr. Nikolai Dvitra, though in certain circles I am known simply as the keeper of the files. I was trained in medicine, yes, but my practice has long since drifted from the realm of broken bones and inflamed organs into more difficult terrain: minds unraveling, realities splitting, places where the living and the dead share the same air. These cases are not “stories.” They are transcripts of suffering, fragments of evidence, testimonies collected from survivors—or what remained of them. In each, you will find not just madness, but a pattern. Whether you choose to believe these patterns reveal illness or intrusion from beyond our world, that is your burden. I have preserved them as faithfully as possible. A name altered here, a location obscured there, for safety. Still, what you hold in your hands is not fiction. It is contagion. Handle with care.

"LIVING, for some people, is a BLESSING. They can do whatever they want, when they want. They can do the things the want to do, talk to other people and make friends. But for me, LIVING.....is a CURSE. Every actions is scripted. Every actions has intentions. A script created by the one who holds the strings attached to the puppet. And that PUPPET....is ME." - Nikolai A/N: I apologize if this story is not of your satisfaction. This is my first story, so I considered this as a practice to hone my writing skills. I'm open for criticism and advice

Above Love Victoria Lennox has spent her life proving she is untouchable. At thirty-four, she is the youngest self-made woman ever to break eleven figures, the most feared name on Wall Street, and the undisputed queen of Manhattan. Love, in her experience, is a liability best left to weaker people. She has built an empire on that conviction: marble penthouses, private jets, and a heart sealed behind bullet-proof glass. Then a rainy night, a totaled Bugatti, and forty-seven seconds of clinical death change everything. A stranger drags her from the wreckage. She never sees his face—only the distinctive crescent-moon birthmark on the back of his right hand—before he disappears into the storm. When Victoria wakes in a private hospital suite with titanium in her femur and a debt she cannot quantify, she does what she has always done: she hunts. She finds him living in a Bushwick warehouse, fixing pipes for old ladies and donating half his income to a no-kill shelter. His name is Elias Crowe—former Army Ranger, Purple Heart recipient, and the one man in New York who wants absolutely nothing from her. She offers money. He refuses. She offers gratitude wrapped in couture and orchids. He donates the orchids to the hospital where she recovered. Every gift, every grand gesture, every attempt to buy absolution is met with the same quiet, unshakable rejection. So Victoria does the one thing she swore she would never do again: she shows up. In jeans. In the rain. In kennels that smell like bleach and hope. Slowly, infuriatingly, the ice begins to crack. What starts as obsession becomes something far more dangerous: partnership, laughter, Sunday mornings that taste like coffee and pancakes, and a three-legged pit bull who decides Victoria belongs to them both. Elias never asks her to be less than the ruthless titan she is; he simply refuses to let her be lonely while she’s being it. But Victoria has spent fifteen years learning that love is a loaded gun with someone else’s finger on the trigger. When the past comes roaring back—old betrayals, boardroom coups, and the terrifying vulnerability of needing another person—she will have to decide whether the empire she built is worth more than the man who taught her heart how to beat again. A searing, witty, deeply romantic story about what happens when the woman who has everything discovers the one thing money can’t buy—and the man brave enough to make her earn it. Above Love is a standalone contemporary romance with heat, humor, zero cheating, a hard-won HEA, and a dog who steals every scene she’s in.

Will they get a happy ending together or break apart for the second time? EXCERPT "I don't know why I keep getting selfish Raina" the man rasped.Raina's heart thumped like it always does with him.She could feel the dead butterflies in her stomach resurrecting or perhaps they never died.She was honestly, undoubtedly and completely in love with this man and she would always be.For now,she did not care about the future or anything else,all that mattered was the guy in front of her. Raina raised her head to meet his intense gaze.Her doe like eyes held emotions of her deep love for him that could not be described with words.Raina uttered "Kiss me Vernon.Be selfish for tonight,I'II let you."
