Then you’ll see I’m not a woman to be played with.” Devastated by his mistake, Marcus spirals into desperation, chasing after Ella and pleading for forgiveness.

Years later, Marcus is still haunted by his betrayal, refusing to give up on the woman he loves. Yet a shocking secret—a hidden child born from their fractured love—threatens to unravel everything. Will Ella ever open her heart to Marcus again, or will the pain of his betrayal and the weight of their shared secret keep them apart forever?

Ella POVThe late afternoon light streamed through the large windows of our Chicago apartment, bathing the living room in a warm, golden glow. Milla and Lily sat cross-legged on the rug, surrounded by a colorful sprawl of dolls and stuffed animals, their voices a soft hum of chatter and giggles as they traded toys and wove stories together. Milla’s dark curls bounced as she held up a doll in a sparkly dress, her eyes bright with a joy that felt like a small miracle after everything she’d been through. Lily, her blonde hair tied back in a messy ponytail, laughed as she made her doll “fly” through the air, narrating an elaborate adventure about a magical princess. Watching them, my heart swelled with a bittersweet mix of love and resolve, a reminder of the family we were building from the ashes of so much loss.Shawn stood beside me in the kitchen doorway, his arm wrapped around my waist, his hand resting gently on my growing belly. The baby was starting to show, a soft curve that mad
Ella POVThe days following Theo and Ben’s deaths were a blur of grief and determination, each moment heavy with the weight of their loss. Shawn and I had cut our honeymoon in Bora Bora short, the idyllic turquoise waters and starlit nights replaced by the harsh reality of Chicago’s gray streets. The news of the car crash—Theo and Ben trapped in an explosion that stole them both—had shattered us, leaving a void that no amount of tropical beauty could fill. Lily was heartbroken, her bright energy dimmed as she grappled with losing her best friend, Ben, and her beloved “Uncle Theo.” I held her through her tears, my own heart breaking for her, for Milla, for the family that had been torn apart. But beneath the grief, a fire burned in me—a need for justice, for answers, for someone to pay for this unimaginable tragedy.Shawn and I didn’t hesitate. We hired the best private investigators in Chicago, a team known for their relentless pursuit of the truth, and tasked them with digging into
Ella POVThe news of Theo and Ben’s deaths hit me like a tidal wave, shattering the idyllic peace of our Bora Bora honeymoon. Shawn and I had been lounging on the deck of our overwater bungalow, the turquoise lagoon stretching out before us, Lily napping inside after a morning of splashing in the waves. When Celeste’s call came, her voice tight with urgency, the world seemed to stop. “Ella, it’s Theo,” she’d said, her words trembling. “He’s been in a bad accident. It’s serious.” But it wasn’t just serious—Theo and Ben were gone, killed in a horrific car crash, an explosion that left nothing but grief in its wake. My heart broke for Milla, for the little girl who’d lost her father and her brother, the two people she loved most in the world. I couldn’t stop picturing her face, her big brown eyes filled with tears, her small frame trembling with a loss too big for her to bear.“Shawn, we have to go back,” I said, my voice cracking as tears spilled down my cheeks. I was sitting on the e
Amanda POVThe dim glow of my phone screen was the only light in the living room, casting harsh shadows across the furniture as I sat on the couch, my fingers wrapped tightly around the device. The house was quiet, too quiet, the kind of silence that pressed against my skin, amplifying the anticipation twisting in my gut. Jorge, the guy I’d hired to tamper with Theo’s car, was supposed to text me any minute now, confirming that the job was done, that Theo was out of my life for good. I needed this to work. Theo deserved it—after everything he’d done, trying to take Milla and Ben from me, acting like he was the better parent, the better person. He’d betrayed me, humiliated me, and now he was trying to steal my kids. I wasn’t going to let him win.I glanced at the clock on the wall, its ticking a faint rhythm in the stillness. My hands were clammy, my heart racing with a mix of nerves and excitement. I’d been planning this for days, ever since that humiliating confrontation at Theo’s
Theo POVLife had finally started to feel like it was mine again, like I’d clawed my way out of the darkness and found solid ground. After everything—Marcus’s betrayal, Amanda’s cruelty, the years of lies and pain—I’d somehow come out on the other side, stronger, with a future I could actually believe in. Working for Shawn had been a game-changer, a job that not only paid the bills but gave me purpose, a sense of pride I hadn’t felt in years. The office was a bustling hub of activity, all glass walls and polished floors, a far cry from the chaos of my past. More than that, though, the custody battle for Milla and Ben was finally tipping in my favor. Amanda’s outburst in front of Cassidy Hamilton, the child welfare counselor, had been the nail in her coffin, proof that she was unfit, unstable, a danger to our kids. I wasn’t fighting for custody out of spite—I wanted Milla and Ben to have a life free from her toxicity, a home where they could feel safe, loved, and heard.That afterno
