Amanda thought her biggest heartbreak was losing the man she loved to her best friend. But life had more cruel twists in store. After years of betrayal, shattered trust, and painful goodbyes, Amanda is finally rebuilding her life — one brushstroke at a time. But just as healing begins, secrets resurface. Nathan, the man who once broke her heart to protect his own, is back... carrying a past darker than she ever imagined. And Sabrina — her once best friend, now a manipulative ex-wife — isn’t done playing dangerous games. As Amanda’s art gains the attention of the world — and a mysterious new admirer with secrets of his own — she must decide: Does love deserve a second chance, or is she better off painting her future without the shadows of her past?

Introduction
Amanda I stirr as I feel eyes on me, my eyes shot open and I jump on my bed looking everywhere in the room only to find Nathan and Sabrina with a cake on their hands and they start singing me happy birthday My cheeks burn as they come closer to me. Sabrina puts the cake on the bedside table and they give me a group hug Sabrina:"Happy Birthday sweet cheeks" I beam in excitement Nathan:"Happy Birthday Amanda" he says in a whisper in my ear sending a jolt of excitement through my body Good Lord!! After that long hug Sabrina speaks Sabrina:"Please get ready, we have a lot to do today" they exit the room and I sigh as I look up the sealing Me:"Thank you for another year" I thank the Lord almighty and I get out of bed making it up in the process and I walk to the bathroom and I brush my teeth looking at myself in the mirror, I am finally turning 20 today and I'm still pure, Nathan hasn't approached me yet and I am frustrated... I mean it's been years sending him signals that I want him in every way possible A wild thought crosses my mind, what if...? No no no I don't do those kind of things, I attract I don't Chase I shake my head getting into the shower and taking a quick one _ I walk out with a towel in my head and my body, I walk straight to my walk in closet and I sigh looking at all these designer clothes, I always got what I wanted and it's all in this closet... I take pride in my clothes and wear them with pride also. I stride towards the red dress hanging alone by my mirror and it has a sticky note 'Wear me' I smile it's a knee high dress and is backless with small straps hanging at the back, what could I ask for when I have Sabrina, I spot the gold stilettos by the shoes section and the bag next to the shoes I wear it and look at myself in the mirror and I do a little dance and I turn around to look at my back and I smiled, Sabrina knew what she was doing when she chose this dress because wow I look beautiful!! I roll my eyes with a smile as I get back to my room now in my outfit, I stumble a bit when I find Nathan sitting on my bed Me:"Nathan!" I whisper yell, he looks up from his phone and he looks at me from toe to head and he whistles a hush whistle and stands up, I breath out Him:"Well I knew this was gonna look good on you but not this good" he says striding towards me and I take a step back unconsciously, he smirks Him:"Now now Amanda, you don't get to run away form me love" my breath gets caught up in my throat, I breath in Me:"Yo- You picked the outfit?" I ask still taking steps backwards Him:"I know what you like Amanda" my name is rolling on his tongue like a sweet lullaby, he comes to a halt when I hit the dressing table behind me Him:"Now there's no running" he says and closes the gap between us, my body gets excited that my cheeks turn red, his cold hand rests on my open back He bends his head down to my level and breaths on my neck, I gasp Him:"You like that?" I don't answer, I hear steps coming to my room and he moves away from me taking the heat with him, my mom enters the room Her:"Amanda-" she stops mid sentence when she see Nathan and smiles Her:"Oh Nathan,I didn't know you were here" Nathan:"Oh No Mrs Houston I just wanted to see for myself the outfit I bought " mom's eyes widen before she clears her throat and looks at me Her:"Yeah, you did a very good Job Nathan, but I'm gonna need you to leave for now because the make up artist is about to do her job now" Nathan nods and walks out not before giving me one last look infact that was a rake up As soon as he closes the door behind him mom turns to look at me as I release a breath I didn't know I was holding all this time Mom:"What was that?" I frown Me:"What?" Her:"I know what I saw " oh no I'm not about to deal with this,not now not today Me:"Nothing is going on Mom" Her:"I never said something was going on which means there is something going on" I should have known she wasn't gonna let this slide so I changed the topic Me:"Where is the make up artist?" She shakes her head and heads out of the room Her:"Don't get yourself hurt honey, I know you're used to get everything you want but not everything is yours" I just keep quiet because I know what she's talking about ...

Twisted hearts Maybe it's crazy, but it feels right
CHAPTER 21The city buzzed around Amanda like a living, breathing entity. Manhattan was everything she imagined and more chaotic and charming, sharp-edged but full of wonder. Her cab weaved through the morning traffic, and her forehead rested briefly against the window as her eyes danced across the skyline.She'd only been in New York for two days, but it already felt like the beginning of something monumental.Her phone buzzed.Dad: Just sent you some money, my girl. For the bed, fridge, and some groceries. Let me know if you need anything else. Proud of you.Amanda smiled warmly and typed back a quick thank-you. She'd cried when he called her the night before, his voice thick with pride.Now, standing outside a modest appliance store in SoHo, she pulled her coat tighter and walked in. The scent of fresh metal and plastic filled the air as she browsed. After some haggling, she walked out having purchased a compact fridge, a kettle, and a fan heater—New York winters were nothing to pl

CHAPTER 20The plane touched down with a gentle shudder, the sprawling lights of Manhattan sparkling below like a field of diamonds scattered on black velvet. Amanda pressed her forehead to the cool glass of the airplane window, heart pounding with a mix of awe and nervous excitement.New York. The city she'd dreamed of since she was a little girl sketching alone in her bedroom. The place where her art could finally breathe, where she could finally be seen.As the plane taxied to the gate, she exhaled slowly, her fingers gripping the seat’s armrest. She was nervous, yes, but also thrilled. Her life was changing, and she could feel it in her bones.The Langford Collective’s representative was waiting for her just beyond customs, holding a simple sign with her name scrawled in black marker. He was tall, neat, dressed in all-black, and spoke with a soft British accent. "Amanda Houston? Welcome to New York. I’m Ezra. We’re so excited to have you.""Thank you," Amanda said, adjusting the s

CHAPTER 19 Nathan didn’t sleep. He couldn’t. The walls of the penthouse closed in on him, tighter and tighter, as though the truth had taken shape and pressed against his chest like a vice. Sabrina was pregnant. And it might not even be his. He paced the living room with a whiskey glass in his hand, the amber liquid sloshing with every frustrated step. Outside, Milan was alive—cars moving, people dining, laughter echoing faintly through open windows. But inside him, everything was deathly quiet. The kind of silence that follows after a bomb. By midnight, Nathan had had enough. He needed air. Noise. Anything to shut off the storm in his head. He pulled on his jacket, left his phone on the counter, and walked into the night. He didn’t know where he was going until he got there—a sleek bar near the canal, dimly lit with a live saxophonist in the corner, the kind of place people went to forget. Perfect. He slid into a stool, ordered a scotch, and downed it like medicine. Then he sa

CHAPTER 18Sabrina stared at the pregnancy test in her trembling hands.Positive.Again.The third stick this week. All three glowed with the same verdict, mocking her.She sank onto the cold bathroom floor, her knees pulled to her chest, heart galloping in panic. The early symptoms made sense now — the dizziness, the nausea, the way her clothes clung tighter around her waist. She had brushed them off as stress. God knew there was plenty of that in her life.But this?This was something else.She didn’t cry. Not yet. Her brain was too loud, her thoughts tangled like a pile of barbed wire.She was pregnant.And she didn’t know who the father was.Nathan?David?Two men on opposite ends of a war — and she was the battle field.Her stomach twisted violently, and she lunged for the toilet.---Two days passed.Sabrina hadn’t told anyone. Not Nathan, not David. Not even herself, reallyb— not in the way that made it real.She wandered around the pent house like a ghost, the glossy tiles col

CHAPTER 17A month had passed.Nathan barely noticed the days anymore. Each morning bled into the next, each night collapsed into sleeplessness or the stench of whiskey he didn’t even enjoy. His world had shrunk down to contracts, board meetings, silence, and the four walls of a penthouse he no longer considered a home.And Sabrina.Always Sabrina.She still haunted the place like smoke—always present, always suffocating.He sat in his home office one Thursday night, fingers rubbing at his temples as his screen glowed back with pending emails. He hadn’t seen Amanda in a month. Not even a glimpse.He couldn’t.Not after the way he’d ended things with her. Cold. Cruel. Deliberate. Necessary.At least that’s what he told himself.He hadn’t expected the hollowness that followed. He thought he’d be able to breathe with the secret buried again. Instead, every breath now scraped his lungs.Sabrina walked past the door, humming. She wore red lingerie beneath one of his button-ups, the fabric

CHAPTER 16The sun dipped low over Milan, casting golden light through Amanda’s bedroom window, but warmth had long left her heart.She sat by the edge of her bed, her fingers curled tightly around her phone. Nathan’s message still sat unread on the screen, a ghost waiting to be acknowledged. The tension in her chest was unbearable, like a scream lodged in her throat. When the door bell rang, she leapt up, heart hammering.She opened the door to find Nathan standing there, hands in his coat pockets, eyes shadowed.“Nathan…” her voice cracked. “Come in.”He stepped inside without a word. Something in his expression— cold, guarded — immediately set her on edge. She tried to read his body language, but the man before her looked like a stranger.She led him into the living room. “You said you’d explain. What’s going on? Why have you been distant?”Nathan didn’t sit. He stayed standing, looming. “I came to tell you this in person because I owe you that.”Amanda felt her stomach twist.He l
