After the last "I do"
RACHEL:I was supposed to be a bride.
Instead, I became a tragedy in a white dress.
When your mother dies the same night your groom disappears, you stop believing in happy endings.
Then came him.
A man with no warmth, no promises and eyes that watched me like I was a puzzle he didn’t want to solve.
He saved me once.
Now I live under his roof, cooking meals for a stranger whose silence speaks louder than comfort.
Then there is Chris, the charming CEO who drowns me in the kind of affection I always dreamt of.
And there is Liam, my ex fiance who came crawling back, begging for another chance.
But the heart is a stupid thing.
Even when it’s broken, it still learns to give second chances.
Even for the wrong man.
DAMIAN: She was a disaster I didn’t ask for.
One I couldn’t ignore.
I don’t do emotions, and I sure as hell don’t do strays.
But I let her in, just for a while.
Rachel Hart is not my responsibility. But she keeps showing up in places I can’t ignore, my company, my home, my thoughts.
Now her presence lingers. Her scent. Her voice. Her past.
She doesn’t belong in my world.
But I find myself rearranging it anyway.
And when someone else tries to claim her,
They’ll learn the hard way
I don’t let go of what’s mine.
