Haunted by the past he never let go of, Maxwell is determined to reclaim the woman he wronged. But Amelia’s memory isn’t the only obstacle standing between them.
In a world of manipulation, betrayal, and revenge, the truth begins to surface: a web of lies spun by the people she trusted most. As secrets unfold and loyalties are tested, Amelia must confront the man she once loved—and the dark forces conspiring to tear them apart.
Can love survive when the past refuses to let go? Or will Amelia’s second chance at happiness be destroyed before it even begins?

Chapter: Chapter 74- Shattered NightAmelia POV The house was eerily quiet, the kind of silence that pressed down on my chest and made breathing feel like a chore.

It’s just you and me now, I thought bitterly, though even that thought made my throat tighten. How had everything gone so wrong, so fast?Outside, a storm had started. Rain lashed against the windows, wind howled through the trees, and thunder rumbled faintly in the distance. Fitting, I thought grimly. Nature mirrored the chaos inside me.Hours passed like minutes. I must have dozed off sitting upright, because the sudden sound of the front door slamming downstairs jolted me awake. My heart lurched. I didn’t need to guess who it was. The heavy, uneven thuds up the

Chapter: Chapter 73- AccusationsAmelia POV The house was still when I finally made it upstairs. For a brief, fragile moment, I let myself believe I could breathe again.

Chapter: Chapter 72- We need to talkAmelia POV The world blurred for a second. My thoughts had been circling the same drain all day—Maxwell’s visit, his accusation, the way his voice cracked when he said we should be grieving together.I had gone out for some air, hoping the quiet streets would soothe the chaos inside me. But my mind wouldn’t stop. Every memory, every mistake, every almost between Maxwell and me tangled like vines, wrapping tighter around my chest until I could hardly breathe.The late afternoon sun dipped low, casting a golden glow over the quiet lane. My feet carried me toward the small corner café I used to visit back in university. It had been years since I’d walked this route. Everything felt eerily unchanged—the chipped pavement, the faint smell of baked bread from the nearby bakery, the old streetlamp that still leaned slightly to the right.But I wasn’t really seeing any of it. My mind was replaying his words.“Why are you trying to leave me now? This isn’t over, Amelia.”I didn’t notice the lig

Chapter: Chapter 71- Maxwell visit againAmelia POVThe morning light was cruel. It spilled through the curtains like shards of gold, piercing the quiet stillness of my room. I hadn’t slept. How could I? The events of last night replayed over and over in my mind like a broken record.Maxwell had stood at my door after more than a month of silence—looking tired, looking almost human again—and for a terrifying moment, my heart had wanted to run to him. But reality had clawed its way back just as quickly, whispering reminders of his signature on those divorce papers, of the coldness that had replaced his love.I drew the shawl tighter around myself as I paced the room. My bare feet made soft sounds against the carpet, but inside, my thoughts were deafening.A month. That’s how long it had been since Maxwell had avoided every attempt at contact. No calls. No visits. Not even a formal text. It was as though he’d erased me entirely the moment his pen left the paper. We had once shared a bed, whispered secrets in the dark, planned

Chapter: Chapter 70- I knowRebecca POVTriumph tasted like fine wine—sweet, intoxicating, and long overdue.I leaned back in my chair, swirling the stem of my champagne glass as the city glittered beneath the penthouse balcony. From this height, everything looked small. Manageable. Just like Amelia.The faint hum of soft jazz filled the room, mingling with the distant sounds of traffic below. I’d just gotten off the phone with Maxwell’s lawyer—another small but satisfying confirmation that the divorce papers had been filed and processed. Clean. Efficient.

Chapter: Chapter 69- Stuck with my fateAmelia POVThe night pressed down on me like a suffocating shroud. Sleep didn’t come—how could it, when my entire world had tilted on its axis in the span of a single plastic stick and two pink lines? I sat curled up on the edge of my bed, my shawl wrapped tightly around me, the pregnancy test lying on the nightstand like a silent witness to the chaos unraveling inside me.The house was still. Too still. Every creak of the old floorboards sounded louder than usual, like the walls themselves were waiting for me to make a decision. My hands instinctively went to my abdomen again, resting there lightly. It was barely real yet. A handful of weeks, maybe. And yet… it was everything.Maxwell’s signature on those divorce papers flashed in my mind. Bold. Final. Detached. He had walked away without a backward glance, leaving me to drown in the wreckage of what we once were. And now, here I was, clutching the single thread that bound us still.No. I squeezed my eyes shut. This wasn’t his. Not a
