I was raised to obey. Polished. Perfect. Promised. When my father ordered me to marry the heir to one of the Dominion's ruling families, I understood exactly what it meant. Power traded for peace, my freedom bartered for his empire. My new husband wasn't the monster I expected. He was patient, careful, and treated me with nothing but respect. It didn't take long for me to fall in love. I thought it was mutual. Then the truth unraveled, and I learned another woman still whispered his name in the dark. But I was never meant to be a quiet tragedy. When the truth broke me, I didn't stay broken. I made sure I was the one they whispered about next.

One lesson I learned very early in life was to be cheerful, to be agreeable, to do as I was told and ask for nothing, and to never ever complain. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't make trouble and maybe they'll love you. I grew into an adult who took care of others and never expected that those I loved would take care of me in return. I gave and never asked, never expected, never demanded. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't make trouble and you'll find someone that will love you. And then one day, a Dragon walked into my workplace and turned my world upside down with a single wink. Having grown up watching his father treat his men like they were disposable, just meat bags to be fed into the grinder, Dragon was determined to be different when he became president of the Dragon's Inferno MC. He cares about his people. He takes care of them. He was upfront with me, taking care of his MC and those he considered to be his would always be his priority. And I agreed to that, I joined him in that mission, throwing myself into becoming the perfect old lady of the prez. Smile Maddie. Act happy Maddie. Take care of them and maybe they'll love you. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't complain and maybe he'll love you. I told myself I was independent. I was strong. And I didn't need my Dragon to take care of me. And I almost believed it. Almost. But now I'm watching him with her. I'm watching him comfort her. I'm watching him listen to her, support her, reassure her. I'm watching him take time from his day to check in with her. I'm watching him worry about her. I'm watching them become closer right in front of my eyes. I'm seeing every thoughtful gesture he does for her. And me? I'm not happy. I'm not smiling. I'm done being agreeable. Fuck not causing trouble. I'm about to set my Dragon's world on fire. And then I'm walking away. She can have him. For the first time in my life, I'm choosing myself.

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.
