A Glimmer Beneath the Lies

My best friend had been sleeping with my ex-husband for three years.

Together, they spread anonymous rumors, ruined my reputation, and pushed me to the edge.

That was when Ethan Grant appeared.

He stepped in front of the knife, protected my son Luca, and treated us with a kind of gentleness that almost felt unreal.

And just when I was about to fall for him, he tore off the mask.

That was when I realized I had only fallen from one trap into another.

I slammed the door and tried to leave. He caught my wrist and dropped the truth that shattered what was left of me.
