What The Mother Left Behind

Ryu Thanzerkes has never been the daughter her parents wanted. Raised in wealth but rejecting the expectations that came with it, she lived life on her own terms dressing how she wanted, loving who she pleased, and never taking anything too seriously. But when her family arranges a marriage not for her, but for her brother she finds herself drawn into a world she's always avoided. She never cared about high society, never cared about arranged marriages. Until now. As secrets unravel and emotions stir, Ryu begins to question everything. Was she really free, or had she been trapped all along? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Note: This story was born purely from my imagination. I wrote it as a way to explore emotions, mystery, and hidden truths between characters. Afterwards, I used AI (ChatGPT) to help translate and refine the writing into a smoother, more detailed story style.

He wasn't the favorite. He wasn't the golden child. But he was the one who bled. When everything around him begins to crumble-family, love, and the secrets of a buried past-Ryan is forced to face a darkness he thought he'd left behind. What happens when the person they never really understood... becomes the only one who can save them? But saving them comes with a price. And some prices leave scars that even time can't heal. A story of sacrifice, forgotten memories, and a boy who was never supposed to be the hero. The boy they misunderstood. The one who laughed the loudest to hide the silence inside. The one who acted tough because no one noticed when he was gentle. The one who was always "too much"-too angry, too lost, too broken to fix. He was the black sheep. The storm in a house that only wanted sunshine. The one they blamed but never truly understood. They didn't know he cried himself to sleep at night. Didn't know he whispered "I'm sorry" to the shadows of parents he lost too young. Didn't know he carried the ache of abandonment in his bones every day. And when he finally found the truth-when he discovered who murdered them- he didn't hesitate. Not once.

Growing up in a house with whispered secrets and closed doors leaves Jamie struggling to believe he is truly part of the family. Not quite fitting in at school, home should be his sanctuary, but it is the place where he feels most alone. "When I was six my life was perfect, and then mom married Louis. He was more like my best friend than a parent but eventually, that began to change. Once they had kids of their own, I couldn't help feeling pushed out."

Traumatized by her past, yet desperate to grow and have a beautiful future, she navigates through life. A positive mindset it may seem, but is that really the truth or just a facade for the world? She dreams of a bright future as a writer, perhaps a singer, and fate seems to smile when she meets Joseph-a young singer and actor whose career has just skyrocketed. They get along well, different souls connected by a shared past-a horror story that leads to the truth of their broken families finally surfacing. But will these revelations tear them apart, or bring them closer than ever? Will their paths diverge again, or will they intertwine?
