Three years ago, my brother died.
At least, that's what everyone says. The funeral, the folded flag, the quiet whispers - all proof that he's gone.
But then I started hearing him again. His voice in the dark. His laugh in my dreams. And then... a text, signed the way only he would.
Now I don't know what to believe. Is it grief? Is it madness?
Or is my brother really trying to reach me - from the other side?
A haunting, heartfelt story about love, loss, and the unbreakable bond between siblings.
My Brother Is a Ghost - because sometimes, love doesn't die. It lingers.
When Star lost her brother James in the war, her world fell silent. He had always been her light - her protector, her best friend, her anchor in a chaotic home. But three years after the letter confirming his death, she hears his voice again.
At first, Star thinks she's imagining things - grief playing cruel tricks on her heart. But when a mysterious text appears on her phone, signed in a way only James would know, she begins to question everything she thought she understood about life, death, and the unbreakable bond between siblings.
As she struggles with loneliness, a fractured family, and the ache of feeling invisible, Star searches for meaning in the strange messages and memories James left behind. Each sign pulls her closer to uncovering a truth both heartbreaking and healing - that love can linger, even beyond the grave.
Through whispers in the dark, fading songs, and long-buried family secrets, Star must decide whether to cling to the ghost of her brother or find the courage to live for herself - carrying his spirit not in haunting, but in hope.
A tender, emotional story of loss, love, and resilience, **My Brother Is a Ghost** reminds us that some goodbyes aren't endings - they're echoes guiding us home.

They were her family. Her blood. Her protectors. Until the day they became her executioners. A powerful Italian mafia family which from insides were a definition of warmth but it was a force to reckoned with for the world. It still the same powerful family but something changed, something that made them more cruel and merciless..... Alisya Romano, Falsely accused of betraying the one person she loved most-her twin , Arianna Romano-she was cast out, abandoned by the very people who swore to stand by her. No trial. No mercy. Just exile. Alone and broken, she was thrown out like she was nothing to them. She was sent to a boarding school which is actually a hell hole, a place designed to strip away weakness and forge monsters. And they succeeded. The girl who once begged for her family's love died in that place. What emerged was something far colder, emotionless, deadlier. Years later, she was called back not becoz they wanted her but becoz of her father's funeral....but they don't know the girl who's returning is not the same. She's not the helpless child they discarded, but she is someone totally different, blank eyes, cold aura, a storm they never saw coming. The truth is a weapon, but redemption isn't given-it's taken. Now, they will face the sister they betrayed. And this time, she's not asking for their love. She's demanding their reckoning.
'ACCEPTED'-, but it's hurt....
"She accepted the darkness not as punishment, but as home." 🌸🌸🌸 Anya has a father and three brothers. But they don't really care about her-they're just family by name. After Anya's mother died giving birth to her, the blame for her death was placed on Anya. Since then, the only things she has received from her father and brothers are blame, disrespect, ignorance, abusive words, and bullying-especially from her two elder brothers. They call her unlucky, a bad omen, a symbol of misfortune. They hate her. And over time, Anya has come to accept all of it. She has started to believe it herself-that she is cursed, that she brings bad luck. Anya is just 16 years old, but she's not like other girls her age. She has never lived a normal childhood-no fun, no laughter, no affection. Her whole life has revolved around just one thing: studying. Whether in school or locked inside her four-walled room, that's all she's ever known. She doesn't like facing her family. Deep inside, she believes she's the reason they're always upset, that her presence is a burden. She truly thinks she's not good enough to live under the same roof with them. Now, she's made a decision: after she turns 18, she will leave. Not to run away-but to protect them from herself. But what will happen when her family finds out what she's planning? Will they feel relief-or regret? Do they truly hate her-or have they just never tried to understand her? What will happen if they realize they were wrong to blame a child for something she never caused? What if they ask for forgiveness and beg her to stay? Will she stay? Or will she finally choose herself-for the first time in her life?
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.

The Fifth Rule
If you asked anyone, they'd say my brother and I were close the kind of siblings who knew each other's moods before a word was even spoken. We weren't perfect, but we had our system. Five rules. That's how we survived growing up together. Rule 1: Never lie to each other. Rule 2: Always have each other's backs. Rule 3: Ask before borrowing anything. Rule 4: Don't embarrass each other in front of friends. Rule 5: Never.... ever....date each other's best friend. And for the longest time, those rules worked. They kept us balanced. Until he came along. Ethan. My brother's best friend. The boy with the calm eyes and the smile that could turn a bad day around. He'd been around for years, but I'd never really seen him. Not like this. I don't know when things changed. Maybe it was the way he started listening when I talked, or how he laughed a little differently when it was just us. Maybe it was the way my heart forgot all five rules whenever he looked at me. My name's Elena, by the way. I'm the one who was supposed to know better ... the one who swore she'd never cross that line. But the thing about rules is... they only work until something OR someone makes you want to break them. And the night everything changed, it wasn't supposed to mean anything. Just a conversation. Just a moment. Except now, I can't stop thinking about it. About him. About the one rule I can't seem to keep. My brother doesn't know. Not yet. But when he does... everything will change.Complete
