I was packing to move in with Eric, the man I loved, when a knock on the door changed everything. It was Tom, my ex-husband, the one who had left me years ago. His sudden appearance caught me off guard.
Tom explained that the woman he left me for had passed away, and he now had a daughter, Ava, who needed help. His plea stirred something deep within me, though I struggled with the past.
I met Ava at a café, and the connection was immediate. Her innocence tugged at my heart, reminding me of the child I’d always wanted. As I spent time with her, I considered Tom’s offer, torn between my life with Eric and the possibility of motherhood with Ava.
But as I grew closer to Ava, I discovered Tom had ulterior motives—he was using me for Ava’s inheritance. Devastated by his deception, I realized I had to fight for what truly mattered—my relationship with Eric.
In the end, I went to Eric, determined to make things right. Standing in the rain, he was waiting for me with a bouquet of roses, proving that love could endure even the darkest moments.
I had to share this with Eric—and with you—because it’s a story of love, loss, and finding the strength to rebuild.
