6 parts Ongoing MatureSome people run from their past. But Scarlet stands in the wreckage, wondering if she can build something from it.
She has spent her life trying to be enough-for her family, for love, for the world that never gave her the same in return. She's been worshiped, discarded, desired, and ignored. She's had love that consumed her, love that destroyed her, and love that was never really love at all.
She's been the golden child and the black sheep. The one who made her family proud, and the one they never understood. The one who was told she was special, and the one who was made to feel like she was never quite enough.
She's been kissed like she was the only thing that mattered. Left like she never did. She's felt hands on her skin that set her on fire and words in her ears that burned more than touch ever could.
She's worked for success only to wonder if it was ever really hers. She's fought to prove her worth-to a world that undervalued her, to jobs that drained her, to people who took her ambition and turned it into something selfish.
Now, standing in the ruins of everything she once believed in, Scarlet is left with one question-if she is no longer who she was, then who is she supposed to be?
Some things aren't meant to be fixed.
Maybe they're meant to be remade.
Like kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing shattered pottery with gold, Scarlet must decide-will she piece herself back together, turning her fragments into something beautiful? Or will she stay among the ruins, unable to move forward?
Somewhere in these pages, you might just find a piece of yourself.

Pro Tip: Wattpad loves to mess with order, so if you're confused, just search for #1 and start there. You don't want to miss how it all began. #0 is just the disclaimer-important, but not where the drama start
