The Forgotten Archmage

Maya Bennett became Karen Harrington's human-shaped pillow at thirteen — the only person who could cure his kidnapping-induced insomnia. For ten years, she stayed by his side, watching him change women faster than his ties, only worthy of lying beside him after they left. Karen took it all for granted, never caring how she felt. Until Maya walked in on him with another woman and heard him call her exactly what she was — his human pillow. She finally had enough and left. Only then did Karen realize he couldn't sleep without her. He went from indifference to desperate pursuit, only to be rejected again and again. Maya met Noah, who truly respected her, and learned to slow down and choose for herself. In the end, all Karen had left was her last words — take care of yourself — as he lay awake in an empty room, unable to sleep.
