Not your typical single parenthood story! This time, the woman left her kids from birth...quite surprising, right? Teniola had mastered the art of perfection. A fast-growing career, a reputation built on discipline and brilliance, and a man whose love feels like the future she's fought for all her life. No one suspects the truth she buried ten years ago. At nineteen, she had twins-children she chose to leave behind to maintain a "perfect daughter" image and pursue her career. The deal was simple: he would raise them, she would disappear, and their secret would die with their youth. Teniola never looked back. The twins became the chapter she ripped out of her life-an unforgivable mistake in her eyes...a stain she fears would ruin everything she's built. But secrets don't stay buried forever.

But the past has claws- and this time, it refuses to let her go.
