The Rewritten Love Story with Another Mr Carn

My life was a meticulously crafted blueprint, or so I thought.

A successful architect, adored by my community, with a childhood sweetheart, Liam Hayes, by my side.

Our marriage was the fairy tale I' d dreamt of, until it shattered with the news of his death.

Ten years later, I found him alive, living a picturesque life with my best friend, Sophia Chen.

His "death" was a lie, a calculated escape from a life, and a wife, he didn' t want.

The final twist? He died saving me in a real car crash, his last words confessing his enduring love for Sophia, not me.

I woke up, gasping, the scent of birthday cake and lilies filling the air.

I was twenty-two again, on the day I first chose Liam.

But not this time. Liam' s betrayal carved a raw wound, his dying words now a command ringing in my ears.
