The day I caught my husband, Rome, with our babysitter caused me to doubt everything I believed about love and loyalty. In one moment, the man I thought I knew became a stranger, his betrayal shattered the life we'd built together. Now, I'm left sorting through the ruins of our marriage, questioning every word, every memory, every touch. Can I forgive the man who broke me, or will the scars he left be impossible to heal?
ππ¨π¦π
I know I've made mistakes, ones I can't undo. The man I've become isn't someone I'm proud of. But I love Ambry, and that love drives me to fight for a second chance. I'll face the painful consequences of my choices and decisions... if it means earning her trust again. But redemption isn't easy. Especially when the past refuses to stay buried and the very woman I betrayed Ambry with threatens to unravel everything I'm trying to rebuild. Can I earn my wife's forgiveness and become the man Ambry deserves, or will my mistakes forever define me?

Tainted Love
I never believed in marriage. Not after growing up watching it tear my family apart. Wanting someone was easy. Loving someone was dangerous. But promising forever? That felt impossible. And then came Dean Ashford. He never asked for much; just me, just us, just a future he swore he'd protect with everything he had. And when he asked for that future-when he held out a ring with hands that were shaking-I did the one thing I never wanted to do. I walked away. He broke. I broke. And the next morning, when I finally found the courage to choose him-really choose him-I had no idea he'd spent the night destroying everything we ever were. I had no idea what I was walking into. I had no idea what he'd done. I thought the worst thing I'd ever feel was the fear of losing him. I was wrong. Because nothing prepares you for the moment the person you love looks at you with eyes full of secrets... Nothing prepares you for the truth that the one night you walked away was the one night he didn't. And now I have to decide if the love I built my world around can survive the one mistake that broke both of us.
