A Love Affair (BeckFreen)
#FreenBecky #BeckFreen Love isn't supposed to feel like waiting for something to break. Freen had everything-a perfect fiancé, a wedding on the horizon, and a love that was supposed to last forever. But love isn't just about how someone looks at you-it's about how they make you feel. And lately, Liam's touch feels colder. His words feel emptier. His love feels like a shadow of what it used to be. Then she sees the message. Rebecca. A name she doesn't know. But somehow, she already knows exactly who she is. A single text. A single night. A single mistake. That's all it takes for Freen's world to shatter. But she won't fall quietly. She won't let the woman who stole her future walk away unscathed. What she doesn't expect is for hatred to turn into something else. Something darker. Something addictive. Something she can't stop. Because the most dangerous kind of love isn't the one you fall into. It's the one you never saw coming.

This is a story about life, finding oneself in unfamiliar territory, losing those we love, staying together with those we love, growing up, hardship, and above all else, finding a way through. Stay strong, dear reader, there may be rough water ahead. **** It is important to note that there is disturbing content in this story. I am not a woman, and I do not presume to know all the hardships a woman may face. I do not intend this story to take away from real stories, nor do I intend to make myself seem somehow righteous in telling of the hardships of others, even in a fictional sense. I only wish to acknowledge the cruelty in this world, and the reality of the suffering of those who suffer, who are hurt, who are victims.Complete
