[ONGOING] DEREK I loved my wife. I still do. But love didn't stop me from choosing desire over loyalty-or convincing myself I'd fix the damage before she noticed. I thought regret would be enough. It wasn't. MALORY When I discovered my husband's affair, I stayed for our daughter. She was only eleven months old, and I refused to give her the childhood I survived. But three years of empty rooms, broken promises, and watching him choose another woman carved something hollow inside me-until someone else filled it. I finally realised, my daughter deserves more than an absent father. And I deserve better than a cheating husband. Cancelled Mistakes is a dark, emotionally raw story of betrayal, forbidden love, and the brutal truth that some choices destroy everything-and asking forgiveness doesn't mean you deserve it. This book is strictly for mature audience🔞 Trigger warnings: This book contains on-page cheating.

"DON'T YOU DARE COME NEAR ME!" My voice echoed, I gulped trying to stop myself from crying. Especially for a man like him. I started packing my things, keeping them in my suitcase with my shivery hands. His betrayal has clung onto my soul like a leech. "Ria....please. Don't, listen to me love" his voice quivery, no longer holding the same authority, the intimidation. Instead a broken, trembling voice was reaching my ears. I ignored his words, zipping up my suitcase preparing to leave. "Get the fuck out of my way" my voice sharp, laced with a pinch of venom. His once cold, dark eyes now moisten holding misery. He ran a hand over his hair, sighed with heaving breaths. "Give me a chance....only one chance to explain please love..I-" I cut him off, my eyes showing no emotions contradicting the situation of my heart. "I said, get.out.of.my.way" pushing him aside, I left the room, the house and him forever. For good.
