She Chose Herself

Elia never expected to be noticed, especially not by Aiden, her best friend's tall, charming, too-good-to-be-true boyfriend. With her oversized glasses, quiet ways, and insecurities she carried like a second skin, Elia had always been the invisible girl in the corner.

Until she wasn't.

Until he started looking at her like she mattered.

What began as stolen glances grew into a love that broke the rules and broke someone's heart. Elia thought she had won, but when Aiden's lies finally came to light, everything she believed in shattered.

Now, in the wreckage of what used to be love, Elia is left with the hardest question of all.
Was he ever worth losing herself for?

This is not just a love story. It is a story of betrayal, regret, and the slow, quiet work of healing. A story of learning to walk away, not to chase someone else, but to finally return to herself.

Because sometimes the bravest thing a girl can do is choose herself.
