This story is a fanfic inspired by the show "Good Girls".
Beth Boland thought she had her life figured out: a husband, kids, and a respectable suburban existence. But cracks are starting to show. Dean, her husband, is unfaithful yet again, and the love they once shared feels like a distant memory. Just as Beth begins questioning everything, her past comes barreling back into her life in the form of Rio, a dangerous man who once held her life in the palm of his hand.
Rio is the same man she remembers. Hardened by the years and unwilling to let his guard down, he operates with cold precision. His life revolves around control, power, and strictly business-until Beth stumbles back into his orbit, reigniting emotions he's spent a decade trying to bury.
Caught between loyalty to a crumbling marriage and an undeniable pull to a man who knows how to unravel her, Beth finds herself walking a dangerous tightrope. And as Rio tries to keep his distance, a quiet promise he once made to himself begins to haunt him: He can make her fall in love with him, but at what cost?
In this duet, love is a game of risk and reward, where vulnerability can be weaponized and desire blurs the line between devotion and destruction. Will Beth choose the life she's always known..Does she WANT to choose the life she's always known, or will Rio's promise hold her captive in ways she never expected?
Will be updated frequently.
