She finally set herself free... but will her heart survive what comes next?
--
After the painful end of her marriage to Lucas Gabriel dela Merced, Lara Nichole Guzman is determined to live the life she never got to have on her own terms. She's finally breathing again, chasing the version of herself that got buried under years of loving the wrong man.
And just when she thought love was something she could never trust again, Reagan Clark Sanford came into her life like a calm in the storm. He found her in the ruins of her past and made her believe in love again. He saw her in a way no one else ever did. He never asked her to be anything but herself. He didn't rush her, didn't demand. He simply chose to stay, promising that no matter how long it took, he'd wait until she was whole. Until she was ready to love again.
So she left. To find herself. To become the woman she wanted to be. The one he deserved.
But just when everything seemed to fall into place, one phone call changed everything.
A photo.
An article.
An engagement ring.
And Reagan, the man who once promised to wait, is now rumored to be engaged to someone else.
Now Lara is faced with a question she never imagined she'd have to ask...
Was she not worth the wait after all?

Diamond Heart 💎
------- He loved the girl that can't love him.....And now he can't love the girl that loves him -------- ** "Don't worry.." I say, getting up off the chair and walking around him on my way out, my scarf running through his fingers lightly until it slips out. He tilts his head back over the back of his chair in a lazy laid back way, his thumb and fingers now holding his chin, as he watches me leave, still with a small smile on his face. "I won't break your heart." I turn around and say lightly, jokingly, just to tease him. His smile fades. "You won't...because you can't break what's already broken." He says more seriously. ******* Once bitten, twice shy Such is the case for Aaron Bishop, who after a failed marriage, decides that love and all things related, is not worth the trouble.
