When Love Finds Its Way Back

Isn’t it funny how love works?

I have always loved Dreston, and he has always been the one for me—my first love. As a child, I loved him, as a teenager, nothing changed. And now, even as his wife, I still couldn’t love him any less.

But he only ever loved Tina—my teenage best friend. She came into our lives and didn’t just take him away from me. She took my happiness, my laughter, and even the girl I used to be.

I still remember her words to me:

“You knew he was mine, yet you married him.”

She made me feel like I was the villain. Maybe I was foolish to believe that love alone would bring him back to me. But nothing changed. He would always love her.

I finally gave up the day I signed the divorce papers. I learned to let go, to move on, and to start fresh. And just when I had finally decided to start my life again—just when the universe rewarded me with a man who loved me unconditionally…

Dreston came running back.

Now he wants a second chance.

Chapter One: A Broken Heart

Cassienne walked out of Dr. Zach’s office, holding the small prescription paper in her hand. She felt tired and a little dizzy, and all she wanted was to get home and crawl into bed. She headed toward the elevator, but just as she was about to step inside, a familiar voice drifted down the hallway.

She glanced over her shoulder and saw Dreston’s tall, straight figure standing out among the people in the corridor, his arm wrapped around a slim woman beside him. As they walked, the woman looked up at him, revealing her face. It was Tina Arcley—his ex-girlfriend.

“Did you see that guy? He is so handsome. I feel like I'm on fire just looking at him.”

“Don’t even think about it. He’s here with his wife.”

Two nearby nurses whispered about them. Meanwhile, Dreston and Tina smiled at each other, looking effortlessly perfect together.

Cassienne couldn’t remember him ever smiling at her like that—not with that soft, loving look he was giving Tina. And he wasn’t alone. Someone else stood with them—a doctor.

“Remember to rest well,” the doctor said gently. “Since you’re still at the early stage of your pregnancy, you shouldn’t do any vigorous work. I hope you understand?”

Pregnant?

Cassienne’s breath caught. Her hand flew to her mouth.

“Your wife’s mood will be affected by pregnancy hormones,” the doctor continued. “As the baby’s father, you should take her out into nature more often. It will help her stay in a good mood.”

Cassienne struggled to stifle the gasp building in her throat. Shock rippled through her, blurring her vision.

“I’ll see to that, Doctor,” Dreston replied, sounding protective. “I’ll make sure she gets all the rest she needs.”

Through her blurred vision, Cassienne saw them as they
