ReadndLove
He broke her once to protect her.
Now he might lose her because he never learned how to fight.
Ten years ago, she trusted him with her heart-
and he destroyed it with words meant to make her leave.
Now they meet again as professionals, not lovers.
She is no longer the girl who waited.
She is ambition, restraint, and a life rebuilt from quiet ruin.
He is power, legacy, and regret buried beneath control.
Every interaction is sharp.
Every silence is heavier than words.
Anger becomes safer than honesty when love still lingers.
What happens when the man who broke you is the only one who ever truly knew you?
A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance about first love, emotional scars, power imbalance, and the dangerous pull of a connection that never really ended.
Some love stories don't fade.
They fracture-
and wait for the right moment to find their way back.

Hello, beautiful reader 🤍
This story is a slow burn.
It is messy, emotional, and intentionally painful in places.
If you're looking for instant romance, this might frustrate you.
But if you love tension, unresolved feelings, sharp banter, and two people who loved each other before they learned how to love themselves-
welcome home.
Please vote, comment, and tell me what you feel.
I read every single one.
- with love,
the author
