The next morning, Grace acted as though nothing had happened. She moved carefully, quietly, but inside she felt a new, unshakable resolve harden. She could not allow the marriage she loved to drown under secrets, manipulation, and old wounds.

It was time to choose: the past that held him captive… or the life they were supposed to build together.
