Six months have passed since Stacey and Lee lost their unborn child at the hands of Martyn, Stacey's abusive husband, after discovering that the child she was carrying was not his. He is even more bitter, resentful and volatile than before. Especially now that Lee and Stacey have finally made a life together, after more than five years of having hidden their true feelings for one another from everyone, except best friends Bob and Katie.
The fact that Martyn had been unfaithful to Stacey on numerous occasions with Claire, Lee's ex-girlfriend and mother of his five-year-old son, Liam, was immaterial. It was one rule for him and one rule for everyone else, and it was for his own vindictive reasons that Martyn asked Claire to move in with him, even though he had no tolerance or interest in her son.
Claire, now 28, realises after meeting the stunning, but high maintenance Roxy, for her life to change for the better, she had to change.
Claire believes she has found the valuable friend she's needed. Someone to talk to, someone to confide in - but Roxy has ulterior motives.
The story unfolds with deception, suspicion, betrayals, and newfound friendships Claire thought could never happen in a million years.
After an unforeseen event, will Claire find love with an unexpected admirer and see her life finally change for the better?
The exact words he threw at my face still haunts my dreams every single night and I think I'm starting to believe him.
"Wish I've never met you I was so young and stupid, no wonder no one wanted to be with you, you are just holding me down and I honestly just got bored, needed a new chapter in my life that was the main reason I did what I had to do to keep myself happy. I just don't want to lie to myself anymore. I can't do this. I need to be free for once in my life. I'm so relieved that I don't have to marry you anymore, it's like a dead weight lifted from my shoulders. JUST LEAVE! GET OUT NOW! ''
I just didn't know what to do that day I way so shocked, one minute we were one big happy family and the next he throws everything we build up as a family. I should had been warned by his actions the last month that we spend together.
He knew that he was my first for everything and that gave him a push on his ego. Always bragged about being my first and claiming power over the situation. I was blinded by all of his charms and I see that now, I'm so sorry I did not listen Laura, you were just trying to protect me , that's what best friends are for but I chose him and I am truly sorry. I promise I will get a way to show him that I am not just a waste of space and I am going to do it all just for me and my baby girl.
