Gaslighting Stories

Love wasn't supposed to feel like this. Fricelda "Fria" Vergara thought love meant holding on, that if she loved hard enough, forgave enough, and became exactly what he needed, Anjo Lorenzo would finally love her the way she deserved. But love should never feel like walking on eggshells. It shouldn't feel like waiting for an apology that never comes. It shouldn't feel like forgetting who you are just to survive. For years, Fria convinced herself that she was lucky to have him-until the night she realized she was only surviving him. With a suitcase full of fear and a heart that doesn't know how to beat without him, she runs. But leaving isn't the hardest part. It's the nights where the silence feels heavier than his words ever did. It's the memories that don't leave, the scars no one else can see. It's learning how to exist after breaking free. And when Anjo finds her again, whispering promises that sound dangerously like love, Fria must make a choice. To fall back into the arms that once destroyed her. Or to finally choose herself-even if she doesn't know how. 💔 A deeply emotional, raw, and gripping story about survival, healing, and finding your way back to yourself after losing everything. 🔹 Read now if you love: ✔️ Toxic love stories that leave a mark ✔️ Characters who are broken but fighting ✔️ A slow-burn journey of healing and self-discovery ✔️ The kind of book that lingers in your heart long after the last page 📖 Start reading Chapter 1: A Bruise No One Can See now.

Unless we stand up to those who attempt to keep us down and destroy us, we truly do become their victims.
