What if every choice you ever made could be undone - and redone - just by stepping through the right door?
Amari Sloane is twenty, lost, and quietly unraveling. After a lifetime of carrying guilt, grief, and dreams she buried long ago, she stumbles across something impossible - a glowing portal inside an abandoned bookstore mirror. On the other side is a version of her life she never lived. A version where she's happy. Whole. Free.
The doors begin to appear when she least expects them: in mirrors, in reflections, in dreams. Each one opens to a different reality - one decision changed, one path taken, one wound never made. But the more Amari steps into the versions of who she could've been, the harder it becomes to face who she really is.
And the longer she stays, the more the portals begin to close... for good.
A story of healing, heartbreak, and hope, Through Her Own Doors is a beautifully haunting exploration of second chances, self-discovery, and the bravery it takes to rewrite your ending - by reclaiming your beginning.

His mistress
Loving him was the cruelest kind of torment-a love that lived in the shadows, one that could never bask in the warmth of the sun. I was nothing more than a stolen moment, a whispered name in the dark, a secret he tucked away between the life he had built and the one he wished he could have. I knew, deep down, that I was a fracture in his story, a fleeting escape from the weight of his reality. And yet, I still clung to him, to the illusion that for a few precious hours, he was mine. But the truth was relentless-it came in the form of unanswered texts, in the way he dressed hurriedly after loving me, in the way he said her name with the same tenderness he once gave me. I had given him my heart, knowing he would never be able to keep it, and yet, I loved him still. Loved him as I watched him walk away, loved him as he returned to the arms of the woman he truly belonged to, loved him as I drowned in the loneliness he left behind. Because no matter how much I wished it to be different, I was not his home-I was just a place he visited before going back to where his heart truly lived.Complete
