Malik Carter

He was the type of man who could never let go of what he considered his. No matter how badly things went between them, he still believed she belonged in his life. They had a love that was impossible to explain. Late night calls, arguments that lasted until sunrise, jealousy neither of them wanted to admit to, and apologies that always seemed to come too late. They broke up because loving each other started hurting more than being apart. Months passed, and she tried moving on. New friends, new attention, a new life. But then he came back, acting like no time had passed at all. He still remembered the little things about her, still knew how to make her laugh when she was mad, and still looked at her like nobody else could compare. He wasn’t the same man she left, but he wasn’t completely different either. He was still possessive, still stubborn, and still terrified of losing the one person who ever made him feel something real. Now they’re caught between the past they can’t forget and a future neither of them knows how to build. He wants her back, but this time, he has to prove that loving her means more than just claiming her. And no matter how much she pretends she’s over him, one thing remains true. Somewhere deep down, he’s still the one she never completely got over
