A Marriage in trouble story. They were the "couple goals" from the moment they met in high school. The ones everyone believed would make it. Ten years later, their once-solid marriage begins to fracture under the weight of vicious gossip, half-truths, and misplaced trust. As outsiders worm their way into their private world, Paige and Trevor are forced to confront what's real, what's been lost, and where their loyalties truly lie.

~Vikrant~ I wish I had a rewind button because I did the one thing I was most afraid of. I made a mistake, and now I'm living with the consequences. I knew this decision would change everything. I left her without even telling her. And I know she might be waiting for me back in India, but it's too late-I'm already in Germany. I left her just like she told me her father left her. And now I'm drowning in guilt. ~ But something has changed since I came back. It's like everything I once knew feels different, even though nothing's really changed. The places, the faces-they're all the same. But she's no longer mine. I need her back, no matter what it takes. And the cruelest part of betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies. "Well, I guess they're right-everything's fair in love and war, isn't it?"
