Salt in my Scars

(2026)
A novel by

 
 
I didn’t fall for him because I was weak.
I fell for him because he felt safe.


He was the man I’d known for years—steady hands, familiar eyes, promises that sounded like destiny. He swore I was the one he’d always meant to be with.

And after everything I’d survived… I believed him.

Until the drinking became nightly.
Until his stress became cruelty.
Until his love turned into resentment.


He didn’t break me with violence.

He broke me with contempt.

When I realized he wanted me gone—quietly, conveniently, erased like I’d never existed—I did the one thing he never expected.

I left.

The coast gave me sun, freedom, and a new version of myself—stronger, colder, untouchable.

Now he’s chasing me like a man possessed.
Begging. Bargaining. Obsessed.


But I’m not the woman he discarded.

And he doesn’t get access to me ever again…
unless he earns the privilege of being near me.
