He had the money, the charm, the world at his feet... But he didn't have her anymore.
Michaela Ravens thought she had finally moved on. From the man who broke her heart. From the life she never chose. From the past that wouldn't stop following her. But she was wrong.
They say love is sweeter the second time.
But what if the second time comes with more pain, more secrets, and more reasons to walk away?
Now, stuck between the ghosts of who they were and the ache of who they might still be, Mika must ask herself:
Can she forgive him?
Can she forgive herself?
Can she move forward... or will she fall back into his arms all over again?

The Love That Ruined Me
Started: 10/28/2025 Ended: 08/05/2026 I knew he was married, but I still let myself fall. We were friends before his wife came, not close, not strangers either. We never said what we truly felt, maybe because we were afraid to give it meaning. But fate played its cruel trick. We ended up living in the same boarding house, different rooms, the same secret. We both knew it was wrong, yet we crossed the line anyway. He was my first, my first love, my first sin, my first heartbreak. I thought I could handle it, but loving him was slowly destroying me. So I did the only thing that could save what was left of me. I left him. Because sometimes, walking away doesn't mean you stopped loving. It just means you've finally learned to love yourself.Complete

Sometimes, it waits.
