Cower

Getting married seemed like the right thing to do. After all, Jason was the father of my baby.

Little did I know, he had a darkness within him I hadn't felt the wrath of until after our wedding. I want to make my husband happy, but through the beatings and the abuse, my mind always wanders back to Cyrus, my first love.

When he shows back up in my life suddenly, I can't help the pull to him, even though my life is a mess. After he learns my secrets, will he really want me with all my baggage?

Cyrus

She was always the one. The one that got away, that is.

Pepper was the beauty queen when we were in school, and I can't believe I ever let her go. I came back for her, just to learn she had moved on and started a family. She may have let go, but I never did.

When I'm hired by her scumbag husband, I know it's meant to be. She belongs with me. Now, I just need to convince her that she's worth everything and more, and fight for our second chance. If only I can keep her safe.
