They were never supposed to become strangers.
Sarah and Samuel Blake were childhood sweethearts who built a life out of love, loyalty, history, and the kind of quiet routines that once felt unbreakable. But somewhere between pressure, pain, pride, and everything left unsaid, the marriage they built began to crack.
Now they're left facing the hardest question of all:
When the love is still there, but the hurt is too, can two people find their way back to each other?
Still Us is an emotional adult romantic drama about childhood sweethearts, marriage in crisis, grief, distance, memory, and the brutal tenderness of choosing the same person again when it would be easier to let go.

When newlywed couple Liam and Wren, expecting their first child, lose their home to a devastating fire, they're forced to seek refuge with Wren's best friend Ruby. As they settle into Ruby's home, the facade of their friendship begins to crack, revealing a complex web of secrets, lies, and unresolved trauma. Ruby's fixation on Liam grows stronger, and she starts to blur the lines between reality and fantasy, convincing herself that their friendship is something more. Meanwhile, Liam remains clueless, grateful for Ruby's hospitality and genuinely believing she's a true friend. Wren, however, is increasingly uneasy, sensing that something is off about Ruby's behavior. As the days turn into weeks, the tension escalates. Ruby's baby's father, a man with a dark past, reappears, stirring up old wounds. A mysterious figure from Wren's past lurks in the shadows, waiting to strike. Ruby's actions become more erratic, fueled by a toxic mix of jealousy, resentment, and a desperate need for control. Wren, meanwhile, is teetering on the edge. The stress of her pregnancy, the pressure of her failing marriage, and the suffocating dynamics of her friendship with Ruby are pushing her to a breaking point. Her anger and frustration simmer just below the surface, waiting to boil over into something violent. The question is no longer if she'll snap, but who will bear the brunt of her rage when she does.

SHORT STORIES OF BETRAYAL
This story is not about ERKENCI KUS, the previous stories that I have written for Wattpad. I have watched to many dramas on cheating spouses and the wives are always pitiful. I wanted them to be strong and fight back. These stories are about heartbroken but strong women who have the perfect revenge. They are from my imagination only and the cover picture from Pinterest is the only thing I have used that is not mine. Please enjoy these stories and as I am not a writer I appreciate lots of feedback. (Just so you know I have never been in a cheating situation and my one and only husband and I have been married 49 years this month of April 2022.) Thank you for reading.Complete
