Lina and her husband Mark are stunned when she gives birth months early while visiting her parents, and she's forced to stay behind with her fragile newborn while he returns home to work. It appears that they've made the best of a terrible situation, but when she and the baby can finally return home, everything feels wrong. Her job has shifted out from under her, parenting turns her marriage inside out, and her gifted parrot has learned some mimics that she can't make heads of tails of. As Lina struggles to navigate the complexities of being a mother outside the NICU, she begins to suspect that while she was absent someone stepped into the space that was supposed to be hers alone. She tackles the mystery one step at a time while trying to focus on her baby's changing needs with the help of a calm and helpful mentor the hospital assigned to them. One by one, the things people tell her and her parrot's insistent voice fill her life with doubt, until the only voice that still feels real is hundreds of miles away.

When I started posting my stories online, I didn't expect much traction. It was a fun outlet for the ideas I had swirling around my head. My husband supported my crazy storylines and listened to me narrate out loud the silly plots I planned to write. When a publisher contacted me to see if I would be interested in releasing one of my stories, I thought I was dreaming. I soon discovered it was all a prank and my favourite hobby turned my world into a real life storyline of betrayal and heartbreak. TW: - Online abuse/bullying - Betrayal by H (no cheating)

"You have everything you ever wanted. I show you I love you, I tell you everyday too. Moneys not a problem, you have no spending limit. I don't understand. I give you everything!" He muttered angrily, slurring over his words but by now he'd sober up enough for me to make out what he was saying clear enough. I opened my mouth to speak but before I could say anything he beat me to it, "I give you everything. Don't I? Are you not happy?,-" he turned around, his eyes locking with mine. They were red and full of tears, it broke my heart seeing him this way. "Or is it not enough? Am I not enough?" his voice was cracking, and a single tear slid down his cheek. He quickly wiped it away and snuffed his nose, blinking the remaining tears away, his expression going cold. "and this is how you repay me.-" he scoffed, "-I can't believe you, you whore! Get out of my house! Now!"He yelled in a tone I'd only heard him use towards those he despised or worked for him. I couldn't believe this was happening. I quickly wiped the tears that were fogging up my vision and walked towards him. I extended my hand to touch his shoulder, but before my hand could even get near him he grabbed my wrist, harshly. "Nate please, let me talk!" I begged, looking into his emerald eyes filled with anger, pain, and hatred. "I said GET OUT!" He screamed jerking me towards the door, his hold on my wrist was tight making me wince. I felt something trickle down my arm reminding me of my gash from earlier. "Nathaniel stop your hurting me." I dug at his hand with my nails using my free hand trying to loosen his hold. He let go of my wrist and opened the door in front of us. -- One random night, Lilians life turns upside down after she's accused of adultery. Having to move away from everything she's ever known and the only man she's ever loved, her life couldn't get worse. Actually, she's pregnant. What happens when they meet 7 years later?

"It's not," she said quickly. "I already made that decision. I just didn't want to leave without telling you." She saw it then-the way his eyes dimmed, the way his jaw tightened as if holding himself together took all his strength. The sight hurt more than she expected. "I don't think we'll be seeing each other again before I leave," she continued, forcing the words out. "I'll be busy wrapping things up at the company." Laura Evans thought she had everything- a successful company, a stable relationship, and a future carefully built on trust. Until the man she loved became the reason everything fell apart. Betrayal doesn't always come loudly. Sometimes it comes in quiet distance, in unanswered questions, in another woman standing where you once stood. When Laura discovers her partner's infidelity, she's forced to choose between staying in a love that is slowly breaking her... or walking away from the life she thought was forever. But leaving isn't easy when the past refuses to stay buried. Old wounds reopen. Feelings resurface. And as Laura fights to reclaim her self-worth, she learns that love can both destroy and heal-and that choosing herself may be the hardest, bravest decision of all. Some exes are lessons. Some are mistakes. And some are the reason you finally learn to let go. #1 in exlovers - 12/05/2026 #2 in toxic relationship - 04/05/2026 #3 in tears - 19/04/2026 #3 in emotional - 29/01/2026 #1 in the ex - 27/01/2026 #1 in lie - 27/01/2026 #1 in deceit - 27/01/2026 #10 in breakup - 18/03/2023
