"It's not about a dollhouse, Darain. It's about a childhood stolen, a name stripped away. You don't understand what it's like to lose everything."

Darain, his anger rising, retorted, "You think I don't know how to lose everything? Are you mad? 
I lost my family and everything, all because of you"

Seraphine, her eyes welling up with emotions, responded, "How did I cost you everything? I lost my parents too. What do you mean?"

Darain, his eyes reflecting the pain of unresolved emotions, replied with a hint of bitterness, 

"I lost everything because of you. Your parents were involved in decisions that cost me my family, and now you're a constant reminder of that loss."

Darain, in a moment of vulnerability, admitted, "I lost my family because I don't know how to let go. Are you mad that I lost everything because of you?"

🥇 Wattpad Amby Award Winner - 2023 Top Pick in Romance.🥇 ♥︎ Ren: I have to admit it... I never got over Giovanni. I thought I had moved on, even married another man. But just when I had my life all neatly put together, it all broke apart. Now, I'm nearly thirty, freshly single, and living back home with my mom in California. Then, as if by fate, Gio walks back into my life, his gaze licking up my body like fire, and Zap! All it takes is one look to feel the intense connection surging between us again... and I know he feels it, too, but whenever my heart leaps forward, he immediately takes two steps back. I give anything to be with him again, but will a man stay with a woman if she can't give him a family? ♥︎ Gio: At seventeen, Lauren captured my heart and soul. I naively believed we were soulmates until she shattered that dream and left New York, detonating a bomb of past trauma and heartbreak that turned my world upside down. My life spiraled into chaos, but since my recent diagnosis, starting therapy, and the right medication, I've finally regained my balance. Then she drops back into my life out of nowhere, primed to fuck all that stability up, and I'm supposed to jump back in where we left off? I don't think so. I'd be foolish to risk it, right? I'm so scared for her to discover what I already know-she wouldn't want the man I am now.
