"He looks the exact same," I said, shaking my head as I ate more of the curly fries.

I heard Nelli sigh, "Okay, can you pick up Cuban Heat?" she asked, which immediately made me nod recalling the familiar downtown restaurant.

I'm not even surprised that it's still there given how good the food is.

Specifically, their wings....

Which was still full of unpacked boxes.

"Fuck," I whispered, realizing I was going to be late.

And on my first day too.

So this should be great.

A HUGE thank you + Updatesโค๏ธ

Hi angels, I just want to come on here and say a huge thank you to everyone showing love & support regarding the ending. I couldnโ€™t exactly answer every single comment, but it truly meant a lot to me. I know to some it didnโ€™t make sense or it left you unsatisfied & everyone is entitled to their own opinions. What really means the most to me is still using kind words and being mindful of the characters + my work that I put all of my effort into. I really apprecia...

Ruined Explanation

So a lot of you guys are a little confused by this last chapter of Ruined and if theyโ€™re together or not. Short answer, yes Sevan and Zinovia are still together. The ending was more or so highlighting the complex dynamic of their toxic relationship. They were never supposed to be this perfect couple (i.e they are Ruined as stated in the book description). They both made mistakes (lying, killing people, and just overall crossing the line <...

I am unsure if I should be worried.

It had been hours since I last laid eyes on Sevan and she had broken her previous claims of joining us while we play chess.

We had eaten, played numerous games of chess, got dessert when Sevan showed no signs of making it in time, and then I even tucked Arina inโ€”telling her a bedtime story l...

And what happened.

It was worse than the day before.

Mostly because it hit me harder after I had completely forgotten it happened.

I didn't care if he possibly betrayed me all along.

Or even lied to me at some point.

Right now, he looked like home and all I wanted to do was hug him.

Which naturally caught him off guard, entirely unaccustomed to my affection.

But after he processed my actions, he immediately hugged me...

We had leaked different locations to everyone we could think of, eating dinner as we handled business.

And then I was beyond ready to go to sleep, feeling much sleepier than I would like to admit.

Everything around me felt almost nonexistent.

Once I had screamed my lungs out until they burned raw, I had nothing much left to give.

No response.

Not even a head nod.

I was almost out of focus, feeling everything blur into nothing around me.

Meanwhile, Sevan didn't hesitate to spring into action.

She wanted us out of Moscow i...

New Updating Schedule๐Ÿ’—

Hi angels, starting now until next Monday (11/25). There will be double updates every day so we can finish Ruined and prepare for A Corrupted Christmas. This means there wonโ€™t be chapter visual previews and there wonโ€™t always be a set time when the chapters come out everyday. I hope everyone can understand and I look forward to finishing Ruined with you all. We have less than twenty chapters to go๐Ÿ’
