HE SAW ME

At 42, Addie's life with her verbally abusive and inattentive husband, Matt, felt like a painstakingly built prison. She existed in a state of quiet desperation, her confidence eroded over years of neglect. Taking a job as house manager for Caine Christian, a newly single Australian actor, was meant to be a simple escape, a way to earn a living and gain some space from her suffocating marriage. However, Caine's magnetic personality and unwavering attention ignited a long-dormant spark within her. He was everything Matt wasn't: passionate, attentive, and undeniably handsome, and despite her remaining loyalty to Matt, she found herself drawn to him, their connection sparking into an electrifying affair.

From Caine's perspective, Addie was a woman trapped in a loveless marriage, deserving of so much more. He felt an immediate connection to her, a protectiveness that quickly morphed into love. Witnessing Matt's dismissive treatment of her fueled Caine's desire to rescue her from her unhappiness. He saw an opportunity to offer her a better life, driven by his feelings and the undeniable conviction that she deserved happiness. He believed he was saving Addie, but in reality, their connection ran deeper; in pulling her from the darkness, she was unknowingly saving him right back.
