in the space between our scars
Two women, two lives shaped by fear and resilience, are about to cross paths in the most unexpected place: a nursery. Vivian has rebuilt her life after escaping an abusive relationship, carving out safety for herself and her son. For the first time in years, she's free-but the shadows of her past still linger, whispering in the quiet moments. Siobhan has mastered the art of control, hiding both her bruises and her fears behind calm efficiency. Every day is a careful negotiation, a balancing act between surviving at home and maintaining her professional composure. When their worlds meet, even briefly, something unspoken stirs-a quiet recognition that neither expected. In the space between their scars, empathy, curiosity, and perhaps something more begins to grow. A slow-burn story of trauma, healing, and the fragile sparks that can ignite when two guarded hearts finally meet.

"𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐥? 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮... 𝐨𝐫 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨?" .......................................................... The house was quiet in the dark night. In the dimly lit corridor Viraj had cornered Shreya. Her breath grew uneven as Viraj stepped closer. His dark eyes held hers, filled with something she didn't want to name. Viraj slowly touched her face and mumbled "Tell me to stop and I will" "Viraj..." she whispered, but it only made him move nearer. The warmth of his breath could be felt against her lips, his fingers brushing against her wrist, sending shivers down her spine. She knew this was wrong and she knew they should stop. But when his lips finally touched hers, she didn't pull away. ................................................................. WARNING This is a forbidden love story where a man named Viraj falls for his Sister in law Shreya. This story is only for mature audiencesComplete
