Reflections of the choices

״I fell in love with him at first sight. From the very first day. And I continued to love him always, even when he didn't pay me any attention. I waited and hoped that he would choose me when we grew older. But he chose not me, but my cousin. And my jealousy completely drove me mad. I was there all the time, supporting him, laughing at his jokes, but he just didn't see me as a woman. Yet he saw her in Marina, whom he had known for only a couple of days. And even her secret didn't stop him. He was ready to lay the whole world at her feet.
I had grown accustomed to the fact that my family didn't care about me, that my voice meant nothing in society. But I thought I had him. It turned out that all this time I was nothing to him. Just like to everyone else. But this became the last straw for me.
And I decided that no one would dare to underestimate me anymore. So I began to write. I poured all my anger, all my pain, everything that had been building up inside me into my articles. And people liked it. So I continued to write. And I didn't notice how my articles began to bring pain to others...״

P.S: October 19, 00:49. I've finished the last line of this story. I don't remember how many chapters I initially planned, but it ended up being 40! This is the longest and most intricate story I've ever come up with and written, and I'm incredibly proud of myself. A huge thank you to everyone who reads and shares their thoughts about this story. Without you, it would most likely have become yet another abandoned project (and trust me, that almost happened, but your comments saved everything). Now, the chapters will be released a bit earlier, and there are still 15 more chapters ahead. The final one will come out on November 16, 2024. Meanwhile, I'll be preparing a new story for you.
