GRACE: The year I turned 18, I left home for the first time. I'd grown up with loving parents, three older brothers, and a kind of safety I didn't realize was rare until I stepped away from it. College felt big and overwhelming, but exciting too. I wasn't looking for anything dramatic. I just wanted to settle in, make friends, finish my degree. I didn't plan on Laken. He was... different. Quiet but intense. Careful with his words, reckless with his heart. I felt drawn to him instantly-maybe because he looked like he needed someone to believe in him, and maybe because I believe too easily. I thought I knew him. I thought he trusted me. I thought we were stepping into the same life. I was wrong. The truth hit harder than the fear-he'd been lying, hiding, drowning right beside me while I thought we were learning to swim. LAKEN: Grace walked into my life like sunshine. She wasn't supposed to look at me the way she did-like I wasn't stitched together from mistakes. Like I wasn't something waiting to break. From the start, she made everything feel lighter. Safer. Like maybe I could be someone worth loving if I stayed close enough to her warmth. But someone like her is too good for someone like me. I gave her the version of myself I wanted to be-the one she deserved. I hid the parts I was still fighting in the dark. Then something happened-something I never saw coming-and it hit me harder than I knew how to survive. That's when everything I'd been hiding, all the lies I told myself were protecting Grace from my darkness, began to unravel faster than I could hold them together. Raw, unfiltered, and heartbreakingly honest, this story explores the pull of first loves, the weight of loyalty, and the devastating cost of loving someone who keeps slipping away. Some hearts break quietly. Others take you down with them. This story holds both.

The divorce papers were filled, his part already darkened by his informations and his signature long dry on the paper. Her own was still fresh. Only twelve hours old. "How long has it been waiting ?" She dared to ask. There was a lot she wouldn't, but this, this she felt like she should know. How long had he been planning on divorcing her ? --- Elizabeth Clark loved her husband. She had found peace in their arranged marriage and as dysfunctional as it seemed, she had cherished her new home with all she had.

But when his wife sets him free, he finds out freedom has a bitter taste and that he might have passed by the love of his life. And Lizzy discovers she is more than just a man's daughter or wife, that she deserves more than what she had been given until then and is ready to fight for it.

Nora never wanted much. Just a steady home. Simple days. A life that held its shape. She didn't crave excitement or change. She only needed predictability. Her routines, her quiet, her small world. It was enough. She believed that if she kept everything perfectly still, the life she had built would hold. And for a long time, it did. But when the ground finally shifted under her feet, Nora didn't move with it. She froze in place, the way people do when they have no other direction to turn. Because where does a person go when they have nowhere to go? Warning: This story uses mature language and scenes. © IcecreamSundae5. All rights reserved.

In a world of silk gowns, inherited wealth, and unspoken rules, perfection is a performance-and no one performs better than her. Married into a prestigious aristocratic family, she's the model wife: elegant, composed, and quietly intelligent. For eight years, she endures the subtle cruelty of high society, the cold dismissiveness of her parents, and the calculated apathy of a husband who only sees her as a social asset. She plays her part-until the day she walks in on him in bed with her younger sister. But this betrayal is not a beginning. It is the end of her patience. Unknown to them, she has already been collecting evidence: conversations, confessions, financial corruption, and the quiet complicity of every family member who turned a blind eye. Armed with her knowledge of technology and a mask of obedience, she launches an anonymous online forum-a slow, deliberate unraveling of two dynasties hiding centuries of rot beneath velvet and lace. As secrets spill and empires fall, the woman they dismissed becomes the force they cannot trace or tame. Reputation is their currency, and she's burning it all to the ground. This is not a story of revenge. This is the story of a woman reclaiming her voice- And forcing the world to finally hear it.
