At sixteen, Delilah made a choice she thought would save her daughter from repeating history.
Terrified she'd become the drug-addicted ghost her own mother was, she walked away from her newborn without looking back. Matthew-the only person who'd ever loved her unconditionally-promised to raise their daughter alone. His wealthy family disowned him on the spot.
Ten years later, Delilah has built a new life: new name, new city, successful business empire, lawyer husband who doesn't know she ever had a child.
Then Adrian mentions his new case. A struggling single father. A sick ten-year-old daughter. Medical bills he can't pay. A custody battle designed to destroy him.
Delilah recognizes the details when she sees the file.
Matthew Hale. Faith Hale.
Her daughter is dying. The man she abandoned is drowning. And her husband is the one trying to take Faith away.
Some mistakes don't get second chances. Some debts can never be repaid.
But Delilah will sacrifice everything-her marriage, her carefully constructed life, her right to remain invisible-to fight for the family she left behind
Even if they never forgive her.

His Unkind Love
"You lying bitch," he snapped, rounding on her in front of the doctor and two nurses who'd just entered with follow-up forms. "You really thought you could pull this off, didn't you? Trap me?" Her eyes widened, horror dawning in real time. "I didn't-" "You think because I took you in, because I cared about you, that you could play me?" His voice rose. "Ambrose, please stop-" "I trusted you," he hissed. "I defended you. Against my mother. Against everyone." She shook her head violently, tears pooling. "It's your baby. I never cheated on you, I-" He laughed coldly. "You expect me to believe that? Some girl from nowhere, clinging to a family she'll never belong to?" His words were knives now, each one carving into her chest.Concluida
Love Revisited | 18+
[Book 1] He chose legacy. She chose herself. Now love demands a reckoning 🩶 ──── ୨୧ ──── Eric Minghao was born into wealth, power, and expectation. A legacy older than his mistakes and heavier than his heart. Raised to obey, to inherit, to become exactly who his family needed him to be, Eric learned early that love came second to duty. His father's word was law. The future was already written. Olivia Spencer loved him anyway. She loved him through missed moments, quiet disappointments, and a relationship that always seemed to come after boardrooms, family dinners, and a name that demanded obedience. Until love started to feel like compromise. Until she realised she was building a life around a man who would never choose her first. So she walked away. Years later, fate pulls them back into each other's orbit. The chemistry is still there, raw and undeniable. The feelings still dangerous. But so are the ghosts of the past. Because Eric is still tied to the legacy that once controlled him. And Olivia refuses to disappear into someone else's shadow again. This time, love demands a choice. And not all legacies survive being challenged.
