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.

At 40 and with three kids, the last thing I needed was my husband suddenly working every day with a gorgeous, talented, much younger French prima ballerina. But life didn't care. Late nights. Missed dinners. A shift in his voice when he said her name. And just like that, the marriage I thought was unshakable began to crack. Now I'm forced to face the truth: Every pas de deux has a breaking point. And ours... might be reaching its final step. ‧₊˚♪𝄞₊˚⊹ ‧₊˚♪𝄞₊˚⊹ ‧₊˚♪𝄞₊˚⊹ ‧₊˚♪𝄞₊˚⊹ 🩰 A marriage cracking after 16 years 🩰 Emotional cheating 🩰 Mild OW drama 🩰 Holiday angst 🩰 Mischief, fluff & cute moments 🩰 Maybe not enough grovel... and small doses of pettiness 🎄 Yes, there's an HEA.

I thought there was no deep connection like an emotional connection. And I thought that marrying my first and Only boyfriend was the start of a forever. But he took our sacred bond for granted, and destroyed it in such a brutal way I could feel it on my bones. It spread through my body and soul like a disease. And I discovered, how Cheating, in any form or coated by any excusing justifications is still as destructing. Sometimes, to the point it becomes Cureless.
