Heartstrings and Heartbreaks
Maya Beckham was Oscar Francis's first love.
After four long years abroad, she had assumed any feelings he once held for her had turned to dust.
Yet when she returned to Elminas, he proposed.
Everyone swore Maya was the love of his life—his one true love, his everything.
Touched beyond words, she finally gathered the courage to say yes.
…Until the day she discovered Oscar secretly marrying her half-sister, Diana Beckham.
She stormed toward him like a woman possessed, her voice trembling with rage. "Explain."
Oscar met her fury with infuriating calm. "You vanished without a word four years ago. Diana stayed. Now she's dying—this is her last wish. How could I refuse?"
Maya's lips curled into a faint, unreadable smile.
What Oscar didn't know? She was the one diagnosed with a difficult illness back then.
Later, Maya got into an accident and forgot Oscar entirely.
Oscar broke down. Day after day, he pounded on her door like a madman, begging her to remember.
