. . . ❝Once upon a time, a girl fell in love with her husband and made the stars realise that they'd gotten her soulmate wrong.❞ . . . It's a daunting thing, your first love. It's new, making you unsure and doubt whether it's love or just a mere, temporary obsession. But what's more terrifying is when that love is unrequited. It's worse when you're around that person day in and out, making you forever be in agony that they will never see you the same way, forever be crying to the stars about why they're inflicting such torture by making you fall in love. Only to experience such pain, such heartbreak, such torment. That was her life. Those were her days, where she was too blinded to see the future right in front of her by thinking that her love was unrequited. Until he came along and made her see that even though first love was powerful, it was your final love - the love that your heart had locked away only for your soulmate - that held so much more power and strength, especially when you were tied together by a bond far too beautiful for words. Marriage.

He wanted her to be the replacement of the one he loves. She give up to make him happy destroying herself in the process. Love is not something you should give selflessly it comes with repercussion, she understood the hard way. In the middle of trust,betrayal, truth and mystery what will he do when she really become her replacement? Will he forgive her? Will she forgive him? Will their relationship mend? Will he love her? Will she still love him? Sometimes giving up on someone is the best option than getting destroyed while being with them.

I had warned him. My husband was working with his friend's sister to renovate her grandparents' home and get it ready to sell. She was taking more and more of his time, leaving me alone more and more. I had warned him. So on the day I realized my husband was having an emotional affair with this woman was the day I was done with him. I had warned him. And he didn't listen. But he's listening now. Now, when it's too late. He's promising to make it right, to win me back, to not stop until I've forgiven him and we're back together. I've assured him that's not happening. I had warned him. Now he was warning me: I'm going to make this right and I won't stop until you're mine again.

Esme Things can become clear in a second. When I found Tanner in his office with that woman, so many things became obvious. Tanner's always held himself back from me, but now, secrets and lies come tumbling out into the light. He's never loved me and he never will. I'm no longer willing to be a placeholder in his life, and I have to end our marriage. Tanner I'd been married for four years to someone I didn't believe I loved because I thought I still loved another woman. A woman I had to give up when I chose to marry my wife after I got her pregnant. Now, the other woman's back, she's divorced and is telling me it's our time to be together. Just as soon as I divorce my wife, who's pregnant with our second child. The allure of the past was impossible to resist, so I gave in, met her at my office and my wife found us just...after. So many things became clear to me even before I looked into my wife's devastated eyes. What had I done? I knew what I'd done, and now I had to prove to my wife that she's the one I want.

What happens when you realise the man who owns your heart no longer treasures it? The man you fell in love with no longer exists? Do you stay? Or do you go? This is the story of Emily and Grant Emily Slowly losing Grant hurt more than knowing the truth. Or so I thought. Seeing him with her broke more than my heart. It broke us. And I'm not sure we can be put back together again. Not sure I want him to have any more of my tomorrows. Grant Emily is my world. My safe place. The only person who ever truly believed in me. But this new job opened my eyes to a whole new world. One I desperately want to be a part of. I didn't realise losing myself in this new world would lose me my old one. Emily is my everything, I need all her tomorrows. Trigger Warnings - mention of loss of a parent to suicide - cheating © All Rights Reserved

My husband, Mark, is a good man; he's a strong man. When I needed him to step up with our kids as I finished dental school, he became our little family's rock without ever complaining or being bitter. He owned late-night feedings and diaper changes like a champ while I slept so I could be prepared for my classes in the morning. Now, it's my turn to return the favor. He's working hard on a high-profile case that could change the trajectory of his career if he wins this case. In marriage, sometimes a little sacrifice is needed, which is why on our tenth wedding anniversary, like the past six months, I'm celebrating alone, a sacrifice I'm more than willing to give to the man who's so proudly stood by my side all these years. That is until this betrayal . . . . . . well, let's just say it was never a sacrifice I was willing to make. For Readers: *This story is a novella. My goal is to keep it UNDER fifteen chapters with each chapter no more than 2K words. *Constructive critiques are welcomed. * I do try my best to proofread, but mistakes will slip through. Feel free to point them out!

With interconnected stories between ten people about devotion and betrayal wrapped into one book, you will discover that in life you may never know one simple action can cause a bigger impact in someone else's life. -------------------------------------------------------------------- It's a small world, they always say. And maybe for these ten college students, it really is. In their own story, they're the main character who gets hurt. But in someone else's story, they might be the bad guy or just a passing moment. One thing for sure is everything is connected with one another in a complicated mix of love, heartbreak, jealousy, and misunderstanding. In the end without each other's awareness, who will hurt who? Can they pick up the pieces and fix whom they break? Cover by @SylicateGrazie with Canva
