The Broken Promise
In their dream home built on promises of love and trust, Mia believed she had everything-a husband who adored her, a future filled with stability, and a life worth protecting. But one forgotten folder, one unplanned return, shatters the fragile illusion. Behind closed doors, she discovers Ethan not as the man she vowed to love forever, but as a stranger consumed by desire for another. What unfolds is a devastating storm of betrayal, heartbreak, and irreversible choices. As Ethan's world crumbles at Mia's feet, tears, pleas, and apologies become meaningless against the weight of shattered trust. Their once-sacred home becomes the graveyard of their marriage, its walls echoing not with laughter and love, but with the wreckage of deception. This is not just a story of love lost-it's a story of destruction, of a woman who chooses dignity over despair, and of a man left drowning in the ruins of his own choices.Mia

The Stars Choose Our Lovers
I was 5 years old when I met Mia. I knew I loved her from the day I met her. We did everything together, and we were inseparable. People judged us. All eyes were on us because she is black and I am white. We didn't mind because we were each other's light during the darkness of their stares. I never understood why it is so easy for people to hate, as opposed to love. Kindness is contagious, and we all should pass it along. I fell in love with Mia. Her flaws were perfect in my eyes, and I knew she would always be my Mia. I love her just as much as the bees love honey. I love her so much to the point her love is the only unconditional love I ever knew. Sad, but dreadfully true, when I look in Mia's eyes, I wonder, does she feel the same way about me. Am I her light? Does she accept my flaws, and are they perfect in her eyes? Am I the sun to her desert? Am I her rainbow after a rainy day? I hope she loves me just as much as I love her. My biggest concern is-after all the years we've been best friends, will our parents accept us? I'm scared. I'm afraid that if I tell Mia how I feel, I will lose everything we have built. I keep asking myself, should I express my feelings, or should I keep them to myself? I deserve to be loved, right? I will never know unless I take a chance. Will I have the courage, or will I let my true love slip away? I've always believed that the stars choose our lovers. I wonder did the stars choose Mia for me?Complete
