Matheo would attend the gala with Iris, and they would be the perfect couple, the power duo that everyone admired. Meanwhile, Colette would be here, in this cold, empty house, a prisoner of her own despair. The realization was suffocating, the betrayal too deep to bear. Her heart ached with a pain so intense it felt physical, a crushing weight that left her gasping for breath. She sat down on the edge of the bed, her body trembling with a mixture of rage and sorrow. Tears streamed down her face, but she made no move to wipe them away. What was the point? The man she had loved with all her heart, the man she had trusted implicitly, had chosen another over her. He had lied to her, betrayed her, and now he was flaunting that betrayal in the most public way possible. But this was new! Now, he had started lying to her. So, that he could attend the gala with Iris without his "stupid, unreasonable" wife demanding to be taken to a public place with him? He wouldn't want that burden on him now, would he? No, Iris would look much better in his arms, cool and sophisticated, with her intellectual talks to charm his potential investors. She knew the ins and outs of his business and it wouldn't be the first time he had taken her to such events. The thought made Colette's stomach churn. But tonight, something snapped inside her. The dead flower of her heart, long withered from neglect and betrayal, turned to a crisp. She had been humiliated, shamed, hidden away in secret, and lied to. Matheo had been afraid she would embarrass him? Now she would show him what true embarrassment felt like. Maybe her marriage was over. Maybe her husband had only ever wanted her for one thing: sex. If that was the case, then tonight, she would be the epitome of sex. She would get ready to seduce him in public, and the whole world would see the actual of their marriage before she left him forever. If he wanted her as the whore, he will get the whore.

She married the man of her dreams-then his first love came back. Now Amara has to decide: stay and fight for a man who never chose her, or finally choose herself... and the boy from her past who always did. __________________________ On paper, Amara Lane has everything she ever prayed for: a handsome husband, a ring on her finger, and the powerful Lane family name. In reality? She's just the woman who came after. Her husband, Jace Lane, never stopped loving his first love-the flawless, untouchable Sienna Hart. When Sienna blows back into town as Jace's new business partner, his parents treat her like the real daughter-in-law while Amara is left swallowing backhanded comments and smiling through every cold family dinner. So Amara straightens her spine, fixes her lipstick, and tells herself she can compete. She'll be prettier, nicer, more perfect-anything to keep her marriage from slipping through her fingers. Then she runs into Eli Rivera-her almost, her what-if, the boy who chose distance over breaking her heart. Now he's back, successful, completely unimpressed by the Lane family's power games, and furious when he sees how Amara is being treated. As Jace flaunts Sienna like a trophy and his family pushes Amara to the edges of every room, Eli pulls her back to herself-reminding her of the girl who once knew she deserved more than being second best. When the truth about Jace and Sienna finally explodes, Amara has to choose: Keep bleeding for a man who never picked her first... or walk away and choose herself-even if it means choosing the man from her past who never stopped seeing her. Packed with family drama, emotional betrayal, and a slow-burning second-chance romance, Loving a Man Who Still Loves Her will drag you by the heart from chapter one and refuse to let go.
