What would you do if you found out your husband is cheating on you, not only that but his mistress, who is also your cousin by the way, is pregnant with his baby? A baby you desperately wanted and had been trying for years to have.
I think when your entire world is crashing down, the easiest way out is to run and drink your grief away. So that's exactly what I did. Except never in a million years did I expect my husband's best friend, a man I hadn't seen in years, to be there to comfort me in more ways than one and follow me all the way back to my city, my home, and my office.
Now this stubborn man is my company's newest client and I don't think I can get rid of him... or if I even want to.
He wants a chance to show me how good life can be again.
He's dangerously alluring, fiercely protective, and impossible to ignore. Unfortunately, my life is already drowning in drama, betrayal, heartbreak, and secrets. Falling for him would be a mistake.
...Wouldn't it?

Unfaithful Promise ( sequel to Unfaithful Heart)
I was the woman he loved. She was the woman he could never refuse. I stopped competing with Veronica the day I understood the truth: Adrian hadn't just let her into our lives, he'd built her a home inside the spaces meant for me. For two years, I was Claire Monroe. The safe and steady one. The woman Adrian Cole never had to worry about because she never made a scene, raised her voice, or asked for more than he was willing to give. Understanding. Patient. Reliable. I wore those words like armor, never realizing they were the very reasons he felt free to look away. And while I stayed quiet, Veronica Steele, the grieving family friend, the woman who wielded her sorrow like a blade, quietly took everything that should have been mine. Not his heart. No. Something worse. His presence. His attention. Every late-night conversation, every cancelled dinner, every moment he chose to be somewhere I wasn't. I learned the cost of that choice on the kitchen floor of our apartment, my body folding in on itself, my appendix rupturing as I whispered his name into a voicemail he wouldn't hear until it was too late. Adrian. Please. I need you. He was with her. Of course he was with her. I survived the surgery. But lying in that hospital bed, staring at the empty chair beside me, I finally understood something I should have known all along: There was no reason left to stay. So I stopped waiting. And only then, only when the door had already closed, did Adrian finally see the truth. But seeing and losing never happen in the right order. "Unfaithful Promise" is the story of a man who realized what he had only after he had nothing left to hold, and a woman who finally decided she would never again be someone's second choice. Some people don't recognize love until they're standing in the ruins of it.Complete![The Wife He Destroyed [The Full Book Is On Amazon]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/411917429-256-k97029.jpg)
The Wife He Destroyed [The Full Book Is On Amazon]
I used to believe love could soften even the coldest man. I was wrong. Adrian Cole married me to protect his empire, not because he wanted me. For three years, I loved a husband who barely looked at me unless it was to humiliate me, ignore me, or remind me that I would never be the woman he truly wanted. Still, I stayed. I stayed through the loneliness. Through the public embarrassment. Through the nights, he chose another woman over me. And then he destroyed the last fragile piece of my heart. On the night I lost our baby, Adrian abandoned me during a storm to run after his ex lover. While I bled and broke alone, something inside me finally died. So I disappeared. Three years later, I returned as a completely different woman. Stronger. Untouchable. Engaged to a man who gave me everything Adrian never could. But the moment Adrian sees me again, his world begins to fall apart. Now, the man who once destroyed me is desperate for another chance. Too bad some wounds don't heal. And some women never forgive.Complete
Faithless
Marriage did not break Aeries. It eroded her slowly. Five years ago, she married Mateo out of obligation after one reckless night left her pregnant with twins. What began as duty became routine, and routine became survival. Mateo provided everything a woman was supposed to want: a beautiful home, financial security, a complete family. Except fidelity. Aeries spent years swallowing lipstick stains, unfamiliar perfume, late-night excuses, and the humiliation of being loved only when Mateo feared losing her. Every betrayal ended the same way-flowers, vacations, apologies whispered against her skin, and promises that never lasted long enough to matter. Until one day, she stopped crying. And that terrified Mateo more than her tears ever did. As Aeries grows colder and more distant, an old childhood friend returns and reminds her of the woman she used to be before marriage reduced her to merely surviving. For the first time in years, she begins to wonder if love is supposed to feel this lonely. But when she finally leaves, Mateo realizes too late that the wife he took for granted was the only person who ever truly loved him. Now, after destroying the woman who stayed through everything, Mateo is left with a painful truth: Sometimes love does not die all at once. Sometimes it disappears quietly. And sometimes, the cruelest thing in the world is realizing someone stopped loving you long before they walked away.

The Choices He Made
Gabriella showed up for him when it mattered most, believing she knew exactly where her life was going, until everything unraveled in a single moment she couldn't unsee. Walking away wasn't something she had planned, but it became the only choice she could live with. With nowhere else to turn, she leaves behind everything familiar and starts over in a quiet town that doesn't quite feel like home, trying to hold on to the part of herself that still feels like her. She tells herself it was the right decision, that some things can't be undone and are better left behind. But distance doesn't always bring clarity, and no matter how far she goes, the past has a way of following. Because some choices don't stay in the past, and some stories don't end just because you walk away. Updates weekly ✦Complete

Five years ago, Marco lost the woman he thought he would spend the rest of his life with. A week after being forced apart by her family, Camille married another man abroad-leaving Marco drowning in heartbreak, bitterness, and anger. In one reckless night, he found comfort in Ashley, the complete opposite of the woman he lost: loud where Camille was reserved, warm where Camille was distant, alive in ways that made him forget his pain for just a moment. The next morning, still shattered and drunk on grief, Marco asked Ashley to marry him. She said yes, well, eventually. What began as a marriage built from spite slowly became a life. A home. A family. Ashley gave him a son, gave up her career, and loved him with a devotion so quiet that Marco mistook it for permanence. But even after five years of marriage, part of him remained trapped in the past-haunted by the woman he never truly let go. Then Camille returns. Old feelings resurface. One mistake turns into an affair, and the fragile foundation of Marco and Ashley's marriage begins to collapse. When the truth finally comes out, Marco is forced to confront the cruelest realization of all: the woman he loved first was not the woman he could not bear to lose. Now, with his wife turning colder by the day and another man slowly stepping into the spaces he once took for granted, Marco must fight for the family he nearly destroyed-or risk losing Ashley forever. Because sometimes, love does not arrive at the beginning. Sometimes, it comes years too late. (The plots of my stories are originally mine, but I had help with AI in writing the prose.
