She finally set herself free... but will her heart survive what comes next? -- After the painful end of her marriage to Lucas Gabriel dela Merced, Lara Nichole Guzman is determined to live the life she never got to have on her own terms. She's finally breathing again, chasing the version of herself that got buried under years of loving the wrong man. And just when she thought love was something she could never trust again, Reagan Clark Sanford came into her life like a calm in the storm. He found her in the ruins of her past and made her believe in love again. He saw her in a way no one else ever did. He never asked her to be anything but herself. He didn't rush her, didn't demand. He simply chose to stay, promising that no matter how long it took, he'd wait until she was whole. Until she was ready to love again. So she left. To find herself. To become the woman she wanted to be. The one he deserved. But just when everything seemed to fall into place, one phone call changed everything. A photo. An article. An engagement ring. And Reagan, the man who once promised to wait, is now rumored to be engaged to someone else. Now Lara is faced with a question she never imagined she'd have to ask... Was she not worth the wait after all? ••• The Unwanted Wife Sequel. DISCLAIMER: This story is written in English.
