Ivy thought she'd met the love of her life when Kareel walked in-charming, attentive, and everything she never knew she needed. Their friendship blooms like spring after a long winter. When he confesses his love for her, she dives in-heart first, soul wide open. For a while, it feels like a dream stitched in stars sparked like fire, and within weeks, he was showering her with grand gestures, sweet nothings, and promises of forever. Three months in, he drops to one knee and proposes. It was fast. Intense. Overwhelming. But she said yes-because it felt like magic. For a while, it was magic. Until the illusions cracked...love, as she learns, isn't always what it seems. A year into their relationship, Ivy uncovers the truth: Kareel had been seeing other women all along, even while calling her his "one and only." Trust crumbles. The ring on her finger loses its sparkle. And with it, her belief in the future they were building. The same man who swore he'd never hurt her had been playing her heart like a game with lies wrapped in promises, kisses laced with betrayal. Her world spirals-shame, regret, and heartbreak colliding inside her chest like a storm. But Ivy doesn't stay broken. No. She wipes her tears, reclaims her worth, and walks away from the wedding she once dreamed of. Unapologetically done with men who don't know how to love a woman like her. She swears to always wear her heart on her sleeves... Because this isn't a story of a girl who stayed. It's the story of the woman who walked away- And chose herself. This time, she's not chasing love-she's becoming it.
