The Slow Burn – A Love Neither of Them Saw ComingTressa had never been the kind of woman who needed anyone.She'd built a life on being untouchable.On playing parts.On leaving before she got too much.But Fraser?He was changing that.And the worst part?She wasn't sure she wanted it to stop.Fraser Lets Go of the Past – And Sees the FutureIt had been weeks since he last thought about Sarah.Her voice no longer echoed in his mind.Her betrayal no longer haunted him.Her absence no longer hurt.Because for the first time in far too long—He had someone else.Someone who didn't lie to him.Someone who didn't manipulate him.Someone who made him feel like he could finally take a breath.Tressa.She was always present.And the more time he spent with herThe more he knew that perhaps, perhaps—

The Unraveling – Audrey's Denial and Axel's StrangleholdAudrey's head was spinning as she stepped into the elevator, her chest pounding against the inside of her ribcage and the walls were closing in.The photos.The receipts.The proof.It was a setup.It had to be.The triplets hated Axel and her for years.They always hated him for going out with her.And now?Now, they were trying to take them down.Audrey gulped hard over the lump in her throat.She wouldn't let them.She would not let them win.Meanwhile – Axel Sees the ChangeAxel drummed his fingers on the desk, playing a rhythm on the wood.Something was not right.Tressa was acting differently.Not quite enough for anyone to really notice.But Axel?Axel did notice things.She was paying him more attention.She was asking the right questions

The Last Attempt – Convincing Audrey Before Time Expires Jasmine leaned against a peaceful café, gazing at her phone. "Come see us. One last time. If at this point, you still won't believe us, we vow not to call you again." She sent the text. Jayla crossed her arms. "Do you really think she's going to show up?" Jade breathed out. "She'll be there." Jayla snorted. "She didn't the first time." Jasmine tilted her head to the side. "She didn't want to." And that? That was different. Because people who didn't believe the truth were not constantly returning to fight it. People who would believe a lie had to do twice the work of always trying to convince themselves it was true.

Weeks since her world had come crashing down. Since she'd had to accept that the man of her dreams never existed in the first place. The hurt, in the beginning, had been unbearable. The nights she'd lain awake, reaching for her "phone, only to recall that she'd deleted his number. The mornings she'd woken up expecting the refreshed "good morning, beautiful" text message that never came. The memories of all the falsehoods that pretended to be love. But now? Now, the pain was starting to feel different. Not gone. Never forgotten. But less heavy. Like a weight that she was learning to carry slowly. She took out her phone, reading through messages from the triplets. They'd been calling to check in on her. So had Tressa. That still wasn't sitting well. She had every right to hat

The Final Confrontation – Axel Witnesses His Downfall Axel lay sprawled on his black penthouse, half a bottle of booze in front of him. It was done. Audrey had won. His secrets were revealed. His reputation, so carefully built, was ruined. And now? Now, he was nothing. A shadow of his former self and suddenly there was a knock on the door. It resounded through the stillness. Axel growled, running a hand through his messed-up hair. He wasn't really in the mood for visitors. And if it was some bill collector or worse—some woman from his other life who'd come to collect from him for what he'd done— He wasn't in the mood. He rose slowly, dragging himself to the door. When he opened it— His blood ran cold. Standing in the hall, smiling like they owned the place, were Jasmine, Jayla, Jade— And Tressa. Axel's gut clenched. "What in the devil are you doing here?" He was curt, rough-voiced. Jayla stood in the doorway, arms crossed. "Wow. You're such an ugly person." Jade
