He promised me forever and vowed to never let them come between us.
As the sole heir to the Montgomery empire, he'd been groomed since birth to follow in his father's footsteps. It's why I tried to fight the attraction. As an impoverished girl from the fringes of our small town, I knew our relationship was doomed from the start. But with his charming smiles, longing glances, and relentless pursuit, Shane Montgomery shattered my defenses.
As our love grew, so did his family's disapproval. When Shane made it clear I'd be a permanent fixture in his life, his parents issued an ultimatum. For the sake of our future, I urged him to follow the path they'd laid out for him, with the promise I'd wait, no matter how long it took.
While he pursued their dreams, I navigated alone. Yet, despite the distance, our hearts remained tethered, clinging to the hopeful future we were certain was ours.
But when tragedy strikes, tearing our world to pieces, we're left teetering on the edge, uncertain how our love will withstand our newfound reality.
He swore he would protect me.
If only we'd known the lengths they would go to break us apart.
I tried to ignore them as he whispered seriously, "Eyes on me baby." FUCK IT!!! THOSEEEEE BUTTEERRFFLLIIEESS!!!! 'I know he is flirting, he gotta be flirting, he isn't serious', I reassured myself to calm down the butterflies.
I said in a teasing tone, "Why? Jealous, Babe?" He laughed bitterly, his face still near my neck, he said, "Why would I be jealous of someone like him?!!" I deliberately turned my face to show my narrowed eyes to him, but our eyes locked. I was so lost in those beautiful eyes of his that I became unaware of my surroundings. It was just us in that moment.
