Three Missing Words

"We make a great team... You and I-"

I inched back as he tried to close the distance between us. "No. N- No. I can't let you near me..." I gasped, fighting the gravity that seemed to be pulling us towards each other.

"Why... why not?" Hesitantly, he claimed my hands but I swiftly yanked it away. "Amora..." I whirled my attention to the ocean, hoping that he would take the hint.

I bolted past him. This. This is what you call, running from the past.

But the hurried footsteps tailed me until I felt a pair of strong arms around me. For the first time in years, the image of Dad's battered and bruised face entered my mind. That's when I tried to pull from his grasp, but he won't budge.

"I- I," He snuggled his head against my neck and held on me like I was going to disappear. "I hate you..." Already regretting what I said, I made a run when I felt his grasp weaken.

2nd book in the series that will make you go uWu when you see the plot twists. You don't really need to read the first book to understand this book :)))
This book has a bit of a mix in it- it's mostly romance (obviously), humour and action. Do note that everything is fiction and made up. Contains swear words too.
