The Second Chance That Broke

Synopsis

The day I found out I was pregnant, the boy I'd loved on and off for ten years finally kicked me to the curb. He wasted no time moving on, announcing his engagement to someone else almost immediately. I became the laughingstock of our social circle, and during the darkest stretch, it was Samuel Pierce who stood by me. Everyone said, "If Lily's simp, then Samuel's the real ride-or-die, rushing in to help raise someone else's kid." "It's always only the second lead finally gets his chance when the main guy ditches the girl." Samuel took all the heat for me and shielded me, as he always had. The day I said yes to his proposal, that tall, handsome man teared up for the first time. "Lily, I swear I'll make you happy." But on our wedding day, I got thrown seven years into the future. Thirty-five-year-old Samuel sounded ice-cold, staring at me like he was out of patience. "Go on—what will it take for you to agree to the divorce?"
