I was packing to move in with the man I loved when a knock on the door changed everything. It was my ex-husband, Tom—the man who had shattered me years ago. His plea? Help raising his daughter after the woman he left me for had passed away.
Despite my better judgment, I met Ava, his little girl, and found myself drawn to her. But something felt off. Digging deeper, I discovered the truth—Tom needed me to secure Ava’s inheritance. Heartbroken, I confronted him and walked away.
Realizing where my heart truly belonged, I rushed back to Eric. In the pouring rain, he was there, waiting for me, just like he always had.
