Eight years ago, Bailey ran from the small town that broke her heart. She left behind a love that once felt unbreakable, a boy who chose rumors over trust, and a town that turned its back on her when lies painted her as a sinner. Now she's back-pulled home by a will she never expected and a past she tried to forget. Ashton, the mayor's golden son, has moved on. He's successful. Respected. And engaged to the best friend who betrayed her. What no one knows is the secret Bailey carried with her when she left. A child. Ashton's child. In a town where gossip never dies and forgiveness comes at a cost, Bailey must face old wounds, buried truths, and the question she's been avoiding for years. Can first love survive betrayal... or is some damage permanent? Some love stories don't end...they wait.

I still didn't understand what he said. I couldn't think of anything I had done to hurt him. Maybe I was really clueless about what was going on in his life. I wiped the tears off my face with my sleeve. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled." He said looking away. I sniffed. " So....was ...was..what we had...was our marriage...fake? " He sighed and remained silent. At that moment, I realized that the man I had loved and spent 10 years of my life with not only betrayed me by taking another wife but tried to take everything from me. He came into my life for revenge; he married me for revenge, and he loved me for revenge. Revenge for something I knew nothing about. On top of all that, we even had children. My Father was on his side, and he made me choose ...Divorce my husband and lose the right to being his only heir and lose custody over my children or get used to the fact that my husband married another woman and lived the rest of my life in luxury and misery. I can only hope that someone or something saves me from this hell hole.

GRACE: The year I turned 18, I left home for the first time. I'd grown up with loving parents, three older brothers, and a kind of safety I didn't realize was rare until I stepped away from it. College felt big and overwhelming, but exciting too. I wasn't looking for anything dramatic. I just wanted to settle in, make friends, finish my degree. I didn't plan on Laken. He was... different. Quiet but intense. Careful with his words, reckless with his heart. I felt drawn to him instantly-maybe because he looked like he needed someone to believe in him, and maybe because I believe too easily. I thought I knew him. I thought he trusted me. I thought we were stepping into the same life. I was wrong. The truth hit harder than the fear-he'd been lying, hiding, drowning right beside me while I thought we were learning to swim. LAKEN: Grace walked into my life like sunshine. She wasn't supposed to look at me the way she did-like I wasn't stitched together from mistakes. Like I wasn't something waiting to break. From the start, she made everything feel lighter. Safer. Like maybe I could be someone worth loving if I stayed close enough to her warmth. But someone like her is too good for someone like me. I gave her the version of myself I wanted to be-the one she deserved. I hid the parts I was still fighting in the dark. Then something happened-something I never saw coming-and it hit me harder than I knew how to survive. That's when everything I'd been hiding, all the lies I told myself were protecting Grace from my darkness, began to unravel faster than I could hold them together. Raw, unfiltered, and heartbreakingly honest, this story explores the pull of first loves, the weight of loyalty, and the devastating cost of loving someone who keeps slipping away. Some hearts break quietly. Others take you down with them. This story holds both.

Just one night, just one time. ELENA I always believed Adrian was the one for me. Even when life kept us busy, we were happy. He showed his love in his own quiet ways, and I trusted that.

ADRIAN I thought I had everything. A woman I loved. A thriving career. A child we were about to welcome into the world. But one temptation from my past nearly destroyed everything I had built. Two years later, our marriage still stands. But forgiveness doesn't erase betrayal. And time doesn't always heal. Yet... could we ever truly come back?

Rachel's heart broke ten years ago. The man she wanted never saw her. She was never on his radar. So she moved on--or tried to.

But promises shatter easily. When Rachel discovers her husband's infidelity, the illusion of her happy ending crumbles. Mark was never the man who saw her. And the miserable truth is--the only man who ever did, abandoned her while her world fell apart. Now she's a new mother to her cheating, abusive husband's daughter, surrounded by friends who refuse to let her break... including him. Roy. Leroy. The man she weaved fantasies around since she was thirteen. So when he finally looks at her--really looks at her--and promises the kind of love she once dreamed about, Rachel lets herself fall. Completely. Only to learn she was never going to be his first choice. He had twenty years to hear her. Five months to claim her. And one night was all it took--for him to destroy her instead.
