When Miranda Forbes wakes from a stolen kiss under the cover of darkness, her world unravels. The man before her is not Fiore Ilarde, her devoted boyfriend of three years and newly minted fiancé, but Xylon Diaz-Fiore's closest confidant and the last man she ever wanted to be near. What should have been a moment of bliss becomes a haunting betrayal that sets their lives ablaze. Fiore's anger destroys their future, leaving Miranda's heart fractured and her disdain for Xylon consuming her every thought. Yet, fate intervenes, forcing Miranda and Xylon into the isolation of a remote estate nestled deep in the woods. Resentment gives way to reluctant understanding, and Miranda begins to see beyond Xylon's arrogant facade. The fiery disdain she once felt begins to transform into something she cannot control: longing. Against her better judgment, she finds herself drawn to the very man she swore to despise, craving the touch that awakened her soul. But when Fiore reappears, promising redemption and reigniting old flames, Miranda faces a harrowing choice. Torn between the man who was her first love and the one who now claims her desires, she must decide: Will she follow her heart or surrender to the untamed passion that could destroy everything she once believed in? A tale of betrayal, redemption, and the unpredictable nature of love-a story where every choice carries the weight of the soul.
Chapter 1 Deceived
I lowered my head, pressing my palms against my face. Choking and sobbing, I felt no shame in my disheveled appearance. Despite the desperation in my words, I knew this wasn't the end of the story for me and Fiore.
"Please, Fiore, listen to me," I pleaded, dropping to my knees, hoping he would hear my sincerity.
"Are you serious, Miranda? Do you think I'm foolish enough to forgive you after everything?" Fiore's disbelief stung.
Standing up again, I yearned to embrace him, but I was merely insignificant in his furious grasp. Meanwhile, the culprit responsible for all this stood idly by the window, even finding time for leisure. Fueled by anger, I lunged forward, attacking Xylon with a flurry of punches aimed at his slender back.
"This is your doing, Xylon! You're a monster! I hate you!" I shouted in rage.
To my dismay, Xylon's eyes remained closed, showing no signs of pain. He pretended as though he experienced it all, unaffected by the havoc we wreaked on his childhood friend. It became clear that he had orchestrated this wicked plan. Tears streamed down my face as I realized he had no intention of explaining the truth to Fiore. Once again, I fell to my knees, this time at Xylon's feet.
"You're a fool, Miranda! Are you truly desperate enough to submit to your enemy?" I scolded myself.
"Miranda, what are you doing?" Xylon's eyes widened in surprise at my actions.
"P-Please, Xyle. I beg you. Tell Fiore it's not my fault. I had no idea... that it was you... that you had taken..." I choked on my words, unable to utter the truth. I couldn't fathom how this jerk had taken my virginity instead of Fiore, my fiancé.
Tears streamed relentlessly down my cheeks, like rivers with no end. They symbolized a rainstorm devoid of a rainbow, an ocean devoid of hope.
"Stand up, Miranda," Xylon commanded firmly.
"Please, X-Xyle, I beg you..."
"Stop it, Miranda."
Already deafened by Fiore's words, I heard him say, "I will never forgive you, no matter what you and Xylon say. You lied to me. You and my best friend. Miranda, you're such a w---."
"Fiore!" Xylon admonished him, yet Fiore remained unaffected by anything I said.
Unprepared for such words, Fiore exploded with certainty, "I've made my decision. I won't marry you, Miranda."
My heart sank to the depths of the ocean. All my dreams had crumbled before me.
