Book 1 of RUINED HEARTS Series
Cold. Damp. The air reeked of rust and decay. My wrists throbbed, bound so tight the rope cut into my flesh. My breaths came in shallow gasps, the silence stretching-too still, too unnatural.
Drip. Drip. Drip.
A slow, wet sound echoed around me. The dim light flickered, casting eerie shadows across the floor. My stomach twisted as a thick, dark puddle crept toward my bare feet.
Something wasn't right.
The air felt heavier. The walls seemed to pulse, suffocating, pressing in. And then-
The light flashed once.
And I saw them.
DEAD BODIES.DOZENS OF THEM. HANGING FROM THE CEILING, THEIR EMPTY EYES STARING STRAIGHT AT ME.

Love In The Shadow (18+ | Litmatch Lovestory)
Prologue - When Hearts Break Betrayal doesn't scream. It whispers. It seeps in like poison, invisible at first, until one day you wake up and realize you've been dying quietly inside. That was me. A wife. A mother. A woman discarded for someone else's smile on a glowing screen. He was supposed to be my forever. Instead, he became my wound. Eight months later, I'm still learning how to breathe without bleeding. Two children look at me with eyes too wise for their years. Han, seventeen, carrying silence like armor. Bella, six, asking me why Ami cries at night when the world is asleep. I tell her it's just allergies. She doesn't believe me. Some nights, I wonder if I still exist beyond the roles I'm forced to carry-mother, provider, survivor. Is there still a woman left inside me? Or did she die the night she saw the truth blinking on his phone? And then, in the middle of that loneliness, I met him. Not in the real world, but behind a username. Mr× A stranger with shadows darker than mine. A man broken by betrayal, scarred by addiction, living with an illness that became his shame. We should have never crossed paths. But broken souls recognize each other. And sometimes, even in the darkest places, love finds a way to whisper back. This isn't a fairy tale. This is a story of two wounded hearts, meeting in the rain of their ruins, daring to dream of sunlight again.
