Donnah was tired of feeling like a failure. Broke, lonely, and stuck in a cycle of dead-end jobs, she watched from the sidelines as her peers thrived. Her love life was no better-her ex, Jeffrey, had ignored her calls for months, only to marry someone else. Yet, he still had the audacity to call her for a "catch-up."
The pressure from home was suffocating-where was her degree, her success, her man? But Donnah had nothing to show. Bills piled up, and self-doubt crept in, but one thing was certain: she couldn't stay like this.
No more waiting. No more hoping. She was done being overlooked. Done settling.
That night, she made a choice. She would become the woman people envied-the one with confidence, money, and options. And no one, not even a man like Jeffrey, would ever make her feel unworthy again.

Stay A Little Longer
She spent her whole life learning how to stay silent. Raised in a strict Indian household, she grew up believing that freedom was a luxury and love was a danger. Between her parents' rules, their quiet partialities, and the constant fear of disappointing them, she learned to shrink herself, study harder than everyone, and hide her tears behind closed doors. And somewhere else, miles away from her world, lived a man who trusted nothing-not people, not promises, not the comfort of sleep. Life had taught him that the closer someone got, the quicker they left, so he built walls around himself and called it discipline. He wasn't cruel, but he was distant, the kind of person who kept conversations short and emotions shorter. Even in professional spaces he pushed people away, convinced that staying alone was safer than being disappointed again.Complete
