Fractured Heart

I never planned for my life to fall apart before it even began.
At fourteen, I buried a secret that still keeps me awake at night, a secret only two people in this world know. My mom and Vanessa. My best friend. My sister is in everything but blood.

For years, I trusted her with the darkest part of me.
And for years, she promised she'd protect it.

But life changed when we finally stepped into the real world together. When we walked through the doors of Ellington Enterprises, hoping for a fresh start. Hoping our friendship would survive anything.

I never expected to meet Jason Ellington.
I never expected him to look at me like I mattered.
I never expected my heart to feel safe with someone... for the first time in my life.

And maybe that's where everything started to crack.

Because the closer Jason got to me, the further Vanessa began to slip away until jealousy turned her into someone I barely recognizedqto2qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq2qqq2q.

Now22, the girl who once held my secret is ready to use it to destroy me.
To destroy everything I've built.
To destroy the one person who finally made me feel loved.

I don't know what hurts more losing her or knowing she wants to see me fall.

This is the story of how trust breaks, how love heals,
and how one secret can change everything.
