Sorry

"Was Our Love Pure" was originally a novel about broken relationships, betrayal, etc. The novel was originally made for fun, but I (The author) decided to make it an example of how some people can't move on from their exes. The male lead being related to the minor antagonist was never necessary but it was the only way I could think of a scene where the antagonist and female protagonist meet again with a crazy twist.

NOVEL SUMMARY

Esther Azlia, a 20-year-old woman, she's recently dumped by her boyfriend, Elton Vance. She goes through depression, but eventually meets a man named Clyde Shea who helped her heal from depression. As they grew closer and started dating, Clyde invites Esther to his family gathering, ready to introduce his girlfriend to his family. But, that's where disaster struck when Esther once again met her ex boyfriend with Clyde's sister, Lenora Shea. Esther feels heartbroken, not just because of Elton, but because she never actually moved on. She was secretly mourning the loss of her relationship with Elton during her times with Clyde. She tries to get Elton back, but Elton simply wanted to stay away from Esther. She gives up afterwards, falling into the depths of sadness while Clyde was severely disappointed in her for chasing other men while having him He felt embarrassed, humiliated and mocked. But he still tried to claim Esther back, after desperate attempts. She finally agreed to be with him and only him, officially moving on from her ex.But, once again. Something bad happens and a cliff hanger is placed as the ending.

The novel name was originally supposed to be "The true love" because I think it shows how the classical tropes where the male lead becomes the second lead and the antagonist being the main male lead isn't always true, and how it's a love story with twists.

I changed it to "Was our love pure?" Because love isn't always pure, is it?

Our first interaction: (Chapter 1)

Clyde buys Esther a snack (like a chocolate bar or something)

Our last interaction: (Chapter?)

Clyde buys Esther a snack (The same snack that he gave in the first interaction) and leaves

"You look like you could use something sweet"

was implied to have two meanings:

Eat something sweet (E.g Chocolate bar)

Use someone who's sweet (Clyde)

The cliffhanger:

Clyde leaves Esther, not breaking up just leaving her with his last words being "You're using me, aren't you?" From last night and the novel ends right there.

Because I want to show despite the loyalty, you can't handle the betrayal for too long. No matter how hard you try, you'll still feel it

I wanted to put an author note in the novel:

"She's a protagonist,

not a heroine."

Because heroines are supposed to be hero's, protagonists are either bad, average or good people that we are viewing from.

The cover was supposed to symbolize emptiness, grief, guilt and loss + love, passion and danger. The withered roses were meant to imply "Love that once bloomed has decayed".

I know I created 2 chapters, but I just think I can't continue making more chapters. I'm suffering with depression and because of that, I lack motivation which forces me to write less and have no passion.

I'm sorry, maybe in another time I'll continue this novel, but it's considered forever incomplete
