Marietta St James leaves because there is nothing left for her in the place where everything ended. She doesn't call it running. She calls it survival. She takes her daughter and the quiet weight of what she's done, and she goes somewhere no one knows her name. Time stretches. Cities change. Her body changes. She becomes a mother again. She learns how to wake up without bracing herself for bad news. When she finally stops moving, it's New York. Not because it's kind, but because it's honest. She opens a gallery. She builds a life that fits inside daylight. Her world becomes small and precious, school mornings, paint on her hands, bedtime stories, laughter she didn't think she deserved. She stops waiting for Isaiah. Not because she stops caring, but because caring without being chosen hurts too much. Years of silence teach her what absence really means. Until silence breaks. Not loudly. Not all at once. Just enough to remind her that the past doesn't always stay where you leave it. A name she thought was finished begins to circulate again. A man she trained herself not to look for is suddenly too close to ignore. The distance she trusted starts to collapse. This story lives in what happens after peace is found, and threatened. In the way old lives resurface without warning. In the truth that some people don't stay gone simply because they were supposed to. And some loves don't end just because they were left behind. Beyond Their Lies is about the lies we leave behind and how it catches up to us. And about the moment you realize the past didn't disappear. It was only waiting.

Marietta's world shatters the night her husband and her best friend die in the same car , together, at midnight, on a road neither belonged on. The whispers start immediately. The evidence isn't far behind. Left with more questions than memories, Marietta and Isaiah are pulled together by the one truth they can't escape: the people they loved were hiding something. Something that looks a lot like betrayal. As they search for answers, grief turns into connection... and connection into something dangerously close to love. But the deeper they fall, the more the past warns them: Some secrets didn't die in that crash. And an unexpected turn of events.
