SKYE: Falling for my boss was never part of the plan. But Rain Ashford wasn't just my boss - he was brilliance behind glasses, arrogance in a tailored suit, and the only man who ever looked at me like I was the only light in a world he'd forgotten could glow. Eight months of secrecy. Eight months of loving him behind closed doors. And I would've sworn what we had was unbreakable. I was wrong. Because all it took was an old flame with wandering eyes, one whisper of scandal, one shift in his loyalty - and suddenly the seams of us began to split. And when the pressure hit, when loyalties blurred and lines crossed, I realized the man who once steadied my nerves might become the one to shatter them. ⸻ RAIN: I spent years mastering discipline - building a life of structure, ambition, and control. Then Skye happened. Chaos. Color. Fire. I wanted her from the first day. I reached for her every second. And still, I managed to hurt her in ways I never meant to. Now she's gone - her sketches missing from my desk, her laughter missing from my days - and I'm left piecing together the mess I made. Loving her was the easy part. Winning back the woman whose trust I broke? That may be the hardest fight of my life.

I allowed myself to look past my intuition and distrust of a certain someone and their interactions with my fiancé ... I mean ex-fiancé. I chose trust in him over distrust of her at every crossroads his choices created, and now I'm lost. Maybe breaking it down again, piece by piece will help me look at the big picture logically. Maybe then I can feel less illogical pain and find my way back to myself again. A story about a relationship breaking down because of broken boundaries and a breakdown in communication.

Ongoing! ---- Eliana had dedicated her life to her family. To her spunky twin daughters who brought her both endless grief and honest joy; and to her husband Jesse, her high school sweetheart and the love of her life. She'd happily sacrificed her dreams for what she'd thought was a better future. Until suddenly... it wasn't. When late nights and unexplainable purchases and guilty excuses became their new normal, Eliana began to take note. To document. To investigate. Her husband may think otherwise, but this housewife was no fool. And this time - when the truth came to light, as it always does - Eliana would be the one pulling the strings. ---- HEA; dual-POV Content Warning: Cheating spouse, language
