George arrived at the house with a feeling he could not shake. It settled deep in his chest, heavy and insistent, the kind of unease that told a man something was already wrong before proof ever appeared. The gate stood open. Too open. The quiet felt unnatural.

The gardener was still outside, pacing slowly, wiping his hands repeatedly on his trousers as if he could scrub away the worry clinging to him. George didn’t waste time on greetings. He stepped

  • I was more than pretty   Your nosy author speaks

    If you are reading this with a tired heart, this is for you.Love should never require you to disappear.If my story taught me anything, it is that a woman can survive being overlooked, underestimated, and even broken but she should never have to earn basic respect by bleeding for it. You do not need to shrink your voice to keep someone. You do not need to suffer in silence to prove loyalty. And you do not need to stay where your tears are more familiar than your smile.There will be moments when the world convinces you that your worth is measured by how much pain you can endure. Do not believe it. Strength is not staying when it hurts. Strength is knowing when to walk away, even with shaking hands and a shattered heart.Choose yourself, even when it feels selfish. Especially then. Because the right love will never ask you to beg to be seen. It will meet you standing, not kneeling. It will protect your softness, not exploit it.And if you ever feel alone in your becoming, remember this

  • I was more than pretty   A Life Reclaimed

    Years had passed, yet the warmth in the Bellandi household seemed eternal. Sunlight poured through the large windows of their kitchen, spilling onto the polished counters where Eve was carefully chopping fruits for a colorful salad. Pineapple, strawberries, kiwi, and blueberries lay neatly in bowls, waiting to be mixed. The scent of fresh fruit mingled with the faint aroma of vanilla from a small cake resting on the side. Eve hummed softly, a contented smile curving her lips, feeling the simple joy of a quiet morning at home.The sound of laughter drew her attention. Soren appeared at the doorway, holding a tiny bundle in his arms. The baby yawned and stretched, eyes blinking sleepily as if sensing the love surrounding it. Soren’s expression was tender, yet his usual commanding presence softened in this domestic moment.“She’s hungry,” he said gently, his voice carrying the kind of warmth Eve had grown accustomed to over the years.Eve’s heart melted as she stood and took the baby fro

  • I was more than pretty   The scales of fate

    By the time the day of Livia Glover’s trial arrived, it was already clear to anyone observing that the world had shifted irreversibly. From a distance, the events unfolded with a surreal precision, etched in memory like scars—each one sharp, indelible, impossible to forget.The courthouse had been alive with anticipation, a place where whispers, glances, and the low hum of expectation collided in an uneasy, tense symphony. And there she stood, Livia, once untouchable, now diminished in ways no amount of wealth or cunning could repair.Looking back, it was almost impossible not to marvel at the depth of her fall. The Livia who had once moved through life with unchallenged confidence—crafting schemes, bending others to her will, taking what she desired with impunity—was now a figure struggling to maintain control that had long since slipped through her fingers.To a casual observer, she appeared composed, her sharp gaze still cutting through the courtroom, but those who knew her history

  • I was more than pretty   Surviving Livia Glover

    Her gaze lingered on Eve for half a second longer than necessary, sharp and deliberate, as though she wanted that image burned into Eve’s memory. Bloodied. Broken. Alive.The smile that curved her lips then was small, almost private, but it carried a promise that made George’s skin crawl.“You will all perish here!” she said again, quietly this time.Then the world ended.A low, unnatural rumble rolled through the building, deep and violent, like the earth itself had drawn a breath.The floor vibrated beneath their feet. Dust sifted down from the ceiling in a slow, deadly rain.“What the hell was that?” an officer shouted.Another officer’s face drained of color as his device began to shriek. “Sir—signals just spiked—”“Explosives!” someone yelled. “She planted bombs!”For a fraction of a second, time froze.The

    George arrived at the house with a feeling he could not shake. It settled deep in his chest, heavy and insistent, the kind of unease that told a man something was already wrong before proof ever appeared. The gate stood open. Too open. The quiet felt unnatural.The gardener was still outside, pacing slowly, wiping his hands repeatedly on his trousers as if he could scrub away the worry clinging to him. George didn’t waste time on greetings. He stepped out of the car and moved straight toward him.“Where did she go?” George asked sharply.The gardener startled, then straightened. “Sir, I don’t know,” he said quickly. “She rushed out like it was an emergency. I’ve never seen her like that before.”“Did she have her phone with her?” George pressed, his eyes scanning the driveway, the street beyond, searching for something—anything—that might point in a d

  • I was more than pretty   An ordinary day, Until it wasn’t

    Happiness had settled into my life so gently that sometimes I was afraid to breathe too loudly, afraid I might startle it away.Soren came to our house often now. Not out of obligation, not as a guest who needed to be entertained, but as someone who belonged. He sat with my mother in the evenings, listening to her stories with patience.He walked through the rooms as though they were already part of his future. And when it was just the two of us, we talked endlessly—about the wedding, about small details that somehow felt enormous, about the life we wanted to build after everything we had survived.There was a softness between us, something unhurried and sincere. His hand would find mine without effort. His voice, when he spoke my name, carried a certainty that calmed the restless corners of my heart. Love lingered in the air, tangible and warm, like sunlight that refuses to fade even as the day stretches on.That Saturday
