Love Was Never Enough

For three years, Elaris believed love was enough.

Enough to survive the whispers about her past.
Enough to build a future together.
Enough to keep every promise he ever made.

She was wrong.

The man who swore to marry her became another woman's husband overnight. When she demanded an explanation, he begged her to wait, insisting it was only an arrangement to save his family's empire.

Then, just days later, he looked into a camera and denied she had ever meant anything to him.

That was the day Elaris disappeared.

Years later, the woman he abandoned has built a life no one expected her to have. She wants nothing from the man who broke her, not his apologies, not his regrets, and certainly not his love.

But some secrets refuse to stay buried.

As the past comes crashing back into her carefully rebuilt world, Elaris must decide whether she will keep running from the life that once shattered her... or finally embrace the one waiting to choose her without hesitation.

Because sometimes, love was never enough.
