    Eight years ago, I fell in love with a widower and the little boy who needed a mother. While everyone else saw Daniel rebuilding his life, I was the one holding it together. I dried Noah's tears, celebrated his birthdays, sat through his fevers, and loved him as if he had been born to me. Every time I asked about marriage, Daniel promised, "Soon." I believed him. Until the day I discovered he wasn't planning our wedding. He was planning his wedding to another woman. To make matters worse, the woman he was marrying had no idea I existed. She believed she was marrying a devoted single father, while the little boy who called me "Mom" had no idea his family was about to fall apart. Walking away should have been easy. Except Noah refused to let me go. And Daniel only realized what he'd lost after someone else started seeing my worth. A heartbreaking psychological romance about love, sacrifice, betrayal, healing, and discovering that sometimes the greatest love story begins the moment you stop begging someone else to choose you.

    "Aap humse kabhi pyaar kar paayenge kya, Raghav?" Muskan asked softly, her voice trembling. Raghav lowered his eyes. "Aap to samajh sakti he na, Muskan..." "Main usse kitna pyaar karta hoon." "Phir aap yeh sawaal kaise pooch sakti ho?" A painful smile appeared on Muskan's lips. Tears gathered in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. "Theek hai..." "Phir aap unse pyaar kijiye..." "Aur hum aapse karte rahenge." "Waise bhi..." "Na humne kabhi umeed lagayi thi ki aapka saath hume milega..." "Aur na hi ab rakhni chahiye." For a moment, neither of them spoke. The silence between them hurt more than any words. Raghav closed his eyes. Guilt weighed heavily on his heart. "Hume maaf kar dijiye, Muskan." "Hum aapse pyaar nahi kar paayenge." "Aapko humse bahut achha ladka mil jayega." Muskan smiled sadly. A smile that never reached her eyes. "Shayad..." she whispered. But deep down, she knew the truth. No matter how good anyone else was... They would never be Raghav. As she looked at him standing in front of her, loving someone else with his entire heart, a thought crossed her mind. "I never wanted you to love me back, Raghav. I only wished that once, just once, you would look at me the way you looked at her." πŸ₯€βœ¨ A thought she could never say aloud. "Humara to itna bhi adhikaar nahi hai, Raghav..." "Ki hum sabke saamne khul kar keh sakein..." "Ki aap hamare pati hain." The words remained trapped inside her heart. Unspoken. Just like her love. And perhaps... Some loves were never meant to be confessed. Only carried. Silently. For a lifetime. "Muskan thought that after achieving her dreams, she would finally confess her feelings to the man she loved and build a future with him. Destiny brought her close to him, but never truly gave him to her. This is a story of one-sided love, heartbreak, sacrifice, and learning to survive when the person you love chooses someone else." ✨πŸ₯€β€οΈ

    She liked him. Quietly....deeply...in the kind of way that never asked to be seen. But he never saw her. Not as a crush. Not as a friend. Not even as someone worth understanding. He wasn't cruel. He wasn't confused. He just... never chose her. And still, she stayed. At first, it was small-just a fleeting feeling. But with time, it grew into something consuming... something that lived in every glance she stole, every message she waited for, every silence he left behind. She fell first. And then she fell harder. Until loving him became a habit she didn't know how to stop. Until one day- she did. Not all at once. Not in a dramatic goodbye. But slowly... piece by piece... she took her heart back. Or at least, that's what it looked like. Because now- she doesn't react. She doesn't wait. She doesn't care. Or maybe... she just pretends she doesn't. To him, she was just someone annoying. Someone easy to ignore. Someone who never mattered. But fate has a way of returning what was once overlooked. Because when they meet again- when her eyes no longer search for him- He notices. He pauses. He wonders. He feels. And this time... he falls. Harder than she ever did. Not slowly. Not carefully. But in the kind of way that ruins sleep and steals breath. While she- just watches, as if she feels nothing at all. πŸ† Ranked #1 in Crush πŸ† Ranked #1 in OneSidedLove πŸ† Ranked #1 in Reunion ~ a story that started with silence... and stayed. ❀️

    When a girl gets a complete makeover, the hot guy is supposed to start liking her. Not Forrest Stephens. He merely gave me a once-over, said "nice outfit", and walked right past me. Maybe being his friend was the problem. But now that other guys started noticing me, he's gotten protective-demanding I don't date them without his permission, and touching me in ways that makes everyone think I'm off-limits. Β· Β· ─ ·✢· ─ Β· Β· "Spencer," his caress over my name brought the smallest blush, the events of last night flashing through my mind like a movie. His knuckles brushed my cheek. Angling his head, he studied me, eyes narrowing in a way that was uncomfortably critical. "You're blushing," he noted. He was so close I caught a whiff of his wintergreen gum. In that moment I wanted to disappear. "I'm not," I denied. "You are," he countered, leaning in. "Your cheeks are pink. You're not into me-are you?" πšƒπš˜πš™ πšπšŠπš—πš”πš’πš—πšπšœ: #1 πš“πšŽπšŠπš•πš˜πšžπšœπš’ #1 πš™πš•πšŠπš’πšŽπš› **WARNING: I WROTE THIS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL.
