(SAMPLE) Fractured: The Choices He Made (A Cheating Romance)
He cups my face, his thumb brushing my cheek. "Come on. You know you're the only one for me." He kisses my forehead. What would you do if you discovered that your husband of eighteen years is having an affair? No... don't answer yet. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬. Eighteen years. Not eighteen days. A history. A family. There's a long road between suspicion, the footprints left in the sand, and the devastating truth that the life you knew is already over. I saw it coming. I felt it in my bones. Late nights at work. Sleeping at the office. The distance... the way his eyes could no longer hold mine. Lipstick stains where they didn't belong. Unfamiliar scents clinging to a man who should only ever smell like him and me. 𝘏𝘪𝘮 & 𝘮𝘦. But when a third person enters your marriage... there's nothing left to save. 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘏𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘥𝘦 is the first book in a trilogy that follows Cecily's journey. From heartbreak and having her world fractured more than once, to the slow, painful process of rebuilding herself and finding true love. The kind of love powerful enough to reshape worlds and give meaning to every wound left behind. Described by readers as an unflinching, realistic, and raw exploration of love, betrayal, and the fractures that change everything... the kind of story that cuts deep, lingers, and refuses to release you even after the final page. ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆ ₊⋆ Cheating ⋆⁺ OWD (Other Woman Drama) ₊⋆ Marriage in Crisis ⋆⁺ Emotional Betrayal ₊⋆ Long-Term Marriage ⋆⁺ Domestic Angst ₊⋆ Moral Ambiguity 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 18+.

Wife Forgotten, a novella
My husband, Mark, is a good man; he's a strong man. When I needed him to step up with our kids as I finished dental school, he became our little family's rock without ever complaining or being bitter. He owned late-night feedings and diaper changes like a champ while I slept so I could be prepared for my classes in the morning. Now, it's my turn to return the favor. He's working hard on a high-profile case that could change the trajectory of his career if he wins this case. In marriage, sometimes a little sacrifice is needed, which is why on our tenth wedding anniversary, like the past six months, I'm celebrating alone, a sacrifice I'm more than willing to give to the man who's so proudly stood by my side all these years. That is until this betrayal . . . . . . well, let's just say it was never a sacrifice I was willing to make. For Readers: *This story is a novella. My goal is to keep it UNDER fifteen chapters with each chapter no more than 2K words. *Constructive critiques are welcomed. * I do try my best to proofread, but mistakes will slip through. Feel free to point them out!Complete
