With Love, xxxx. by Varshitha Kancharla (best adventure books to read .txt) 📗

Ryan looked at his last letter which was in his hand. He opened it one final time and gazed.

Dear Kathleen, 

Few months back, I saw you reciting your poetry. The moment I laid my eyes on you I realized you are mine. I followed you and gathered every single detail about you. I never believed in love until I saw you. But love and relationships are for the good not for the people like me. I’m a gangster and this life- I never had chosen myself. 

My father was an Italian-American mafia king who did many ferocious things to a lot of people. He fell for my mom and left all the past behind. But his sins never left him. Few people attacked us when I was 18 and to protect my family I held a gun and shot them. It was the moment that made me a monster. I felt all the power when I held the gun and people bowing to me. But I realized later, that it gave me power and took all my happiness.

All the feuds I had made, killed my mom and dad. I have a brother named Nik. He is the only family I have left. He left me few years before. The only person who stayed with me was Neil, whom I consider as my brother. His father was my dad’s right hand man and his family was killed too the night we were attacked. 

This is my life. I never wanted anyone in my life. After I saw you, I wanted you more than any other. I wanted to talk to you directly, but I was scared thinking something terrible may happen to you. And that is the reason I wrote you the letters.

With every word,  every letter I was writing, it increased my love for you. And I can’t explain it anymore. I LOVE YOU Kathleen. I really love you. If you wish to give me a chance, meet me at the same cafe tomorrow. I will wait for you and for your reply. 

I will be looking forward to meeting you. 

With love, 

Ryan.

After reading it, Ryan again felt like going near Kathleen. 

"People around you die." Francis’s voice echoed in his head. 

Ryan took out the lighter then his last letter was burned in the flames from it. He then left for Rome along with his friend, decided to never ever see her again. The chapter of Kathleen in his life was closed. 

Not all the love stories have happy endings and they don’t deserve happily ever after things. But it doesn’t mean they are not the stories that give the feeling of love. Few people get what they love and few won’t but the memories we created and gathered, stays with us till the end. Whatever the situation is, life always go on. 

The end
