Rewriting Fate Iβll Never Love You Again
Iβd been in love with Cassian Crossβmy brotherβs best friend, the one and only mafia boss in the NYCβfor as long as I could remember.
On the night of my twentieth birthday, my brother promised me a surprise. I didnβt expect that surprise to be a very drunk, very kissable Cassian.
One reckless night. One baby boy.
Cassian agreed to marry me after giving birth.
But the day I gave birth to Leo, Cassian said nothing. He just packed up and vanished to France for nearly five years.
Then he returned with Alessia. His first love.
And when she saw Leo and me, she ran away and disappeared.
After that, Cassian never left my side. Like he was trying to be the man I needed all along, that we were finally going to have our chance.
But fairytales are lies wrapped in pretty paper.
On Leoβs sixth birthday, we were driving to dinner. The brakes failed. The car spun onto the highway, flames licking at the engine.
Cassian got out. And then he locked the door. βIf it werenβt for you, Alessia would still be by my side. Now? Itβs your turn to suffer.β
It wasnβt until that moment I understoodβCassian had never loved me.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back at my twenties birthday. Cassian was in my bed, exactly where Iβd left him in the past.
This time, I didnβt hesitate. I ran. And on my way out, I made the call I shouldβve made the first time.
To Alessia.
