⋆。°✩ AUTHOR'S NOTE ✩°。⋆
Hello my lovelies! ❤️
I wrote the original version of this story years ago — back when I was just figuring out what love, heartbreak, and hope looked like on the page.
From Promise to Forever is a full reimagination of that early version — more grown,
more layered,
more raw.
I kept the bones of it: the girl he left behind,
the baby he didn't know about, the love that never really faded.
But I rebuilt everything around it — added the fire,
the family,
the spice,
the soft.César was always complicated, and in this story, I got to let him be more — more than the streets,
more than his mistakes.
I gave him a future.
I gave her the future she deserved.And somehow... they still found their way back to each other.
Thank you for giving them a second chance —
and for giving me,
the chance to grow with it.Now cue the playlist, pour a glass of something good, and imagine him saying:
"I came back for my girls. And I'm never leaving again."Forever yours,
Amanda 🩵

Your POV-
It's been three years. Three birthdays. Three candles on a cake he's never seen.Mars is sound asleep in her Tía's living room right now — curled up in a little ball, clutching the stuffed bear I stitched together from one of his old hoodies. I never told her who it belonged to. I didn't know how.
I used to ask myself every day if César even remembered her name. If he ever thought about the promise ring he gave me on our four-month anniversary. I still wear it. Stupid, right?
