(No) Stranger to Me
About the book
She almost learned how to forget. Until he came back. Margarita is successful, composed, untouchable. After a painful breakup, she built a new life—one of control, routine, and a heart locked tightly away. But the unexpected return of Rostislav—the man who once broke her—shatters that fragile balance. He walks back into her office, her space, her silence. No warning. No apology. Just the familiar coldness in his eyes… and a strange need to stay close. Why did he return? What does he truly want? And most of all—why hasn’t she learned how to stop feeling everything when it comes to him?

tetiana-markova10.08.2025, 12:18Such an emotional story. So much pain due to misunderstandings, the inability to speak and listen((( And if they hadn’t met like this at work, would Rostyslav have ever found out about the baby? I think when he saw Margarita in that hall and realized how senselessly he could have lost her in an instant, his world turned upside down and his priorities changed. To leave in order to protect(( I don’t know if it’s the best decision, but perhaps at that moment, it was the only right one. The main thing is to learn from it and not miss the new chance to be happy together, because they both love each other, and it hurts them both.

She fell in love with him, found out she was expecting their child. But he had already made up his mind, erased her from his life completely. She grieved, lost her father, pulled herself together for the sake of the little one she carried in her heart. But one evening changed everything. Behind the mask, she immediately recognized his eyes, and he couldn’t tear his gaze away from her pregnant belly.

svetlana-selezneva04.08.2025, 21:59Oh, the situation between Margarita and Rostislav is complicated, but the ice is starting to break. His first feelings when he felt the baby's kicks, the way he rushed over when she thought something was wrong with the baby. Coming back after the business trip... I hope that, with their past experience, they will find the right way out of this situation.

Father once told Margarita that she must be strong. She tries her best, but sometimes allows herself to feel sad and cry at the graves of her dearest people.
iune-liumen06.08.2025, 08:00Katya, Yes, even the strongest of us can't do without support❤️
svitlana-gancuk04.08.2025, 22:39Not telling the father that he is going to be a father is cruel. Margarita had her reasons, of course, but I think it's wrong, first and foremost, for the child. It's good that everything changed later.

Circumstances turned out in such a way that, for the safety of the woman he loves, he was forced to push her away, to erase her from his life. But fate plays its tricks, and during another emergency call at the ER, he sees her in the middle of the room. When his eyes scan... he notices a pregnant belly. It shocks him so much that he doesn’t even ask anything. But when stress is diluted with alcohol, a phone call rings in the middle of the night, and a question is voiced: Am I the father of the child? She had just learned to live without him, and after the shot of grief from this Romeo, she received a full discharge from those once-familiar gray eyes. In the middle of the night, he calls with a drunken voice and asks if he is the father. But will Margarita allow him to learn the truth that she carries his child under her heart?

nataliia-silenko04.08.2025, 16:06Interesting, Rostyslav didn’t even put two and two together to realize that it’s his child!!!((( And Margo didn’t want to tell him about it, although her heart is restless next to him because the feelings haven’t gone anywhere! Thank you)))
