The truth is coming out… and it’s shattering hearts. Just as Carter’s life seemed to be on track with Hope, his world is flipped upside down when Daphne returns from Paris—pregnant with his child. The moment she reveals the shocking truth, Carter is forced to confront his past mistake. How will Hope react? Can their relationship survive this betrayal?
The calm that Carter had been so desperately searching for came crumbling down in a moment of pure shock. He thought everything was finally falling into place—his life with Hope, the promise of a future together, and the hard-fought recovery of Liam. But fate, it seems, had other plans.
The return of Daphne Rose—Carter’s past love—was a twist he never saw coming. She had fled to Paris years ago, leaving Carter broken and alone, and he had resigned himself to the idea that their story was over. Now, as if pulled from a nightmare, she stood before him, not as the woman who broke his heart but as a reminder of a moment he had tried so hard to forget. And she wasn’t alone.
“Hello, Carter,” she said, her voice calm despite the storm she was about to unleash. She placed a hand on her noticeably swollen belly. “We need to talk.”
In that instant, everything Carter had been running from came flooding back. The night they had shared before her departure, the night he thought he had lost Hope forever. It had been a weak moment, a mistake, but it was too late now. Daphne was pregnant—and Carter was the father.
“We were supposed to forget,” he muttered, his voice hoarse, barely able to contain the chaos swirling inside him. But Daphne only shook her head. “I couldn’t. Not after I found out.”
Caught in the middle of a whirlwind of emotions, Carter knew this was the moment that would change everything. He was about to marry Hope, the woman who had stood by him through the darkest times, even when doubts lingered about his commitment. Hope had trusted him again, but this betrayal cut deeper than he could ever imagine.
Now, with the truth out in the open, Carter was faced with a decision he never anticipated. His life with Hope, the future they were building, was now on the line. The gravity of the situation was undeniable—Daphne’s pregnancy wasn’t just a complication; it was a game-changer.
Hope, who had just begun to heal from the pain of losing Liam, stood before Carter in stunned silence. The shock in her eyes spoke louder than any words could. She had believed, with every ounce of her being, that their love had withstood the trials of the past. But this? This was something else entirely.
“You made me believe we had something solid,” Hope whispered, her voice trembling with disbelief. “But you ran back to her the second you thought I was gone.”
Carter, desperate to explain, tried to justify his actions, telling Hope how lost he had been, how broken. But she wasn’t ready to hear it. The betrayal was too much. Just when she had found peace, just when Liam’s recovery had begun to seem like a miracle, Carter’s infidelity ripped apart the life she thought they had built.
As Hope stood at a crossroads, the choice before her was excruciating. Could she forgive Carter and accept the baby, the woman, and the complications that came with them? Or would she walk away, rediscover the love she once shared with Liam, the man who was once believed to be dying but had returned stronger than ever?
Daphne, watching from the sidelines, was torn between the life she was trying to create with Carter and the realization that Hope’s decision could reshape everything. Carter’s heart was divided, but so was Hope’s. In this battle of love, loyalty, and betrayal, there could only be one question left:
Will Hope choose forgiveness, or will she walk away from Carter to rebuild a life with Liam? The stage is set for a shocking decision that will change the course of their futures forever.
What do you think? Should Hope forgive Carter and continue with the wedding or break things off and give Liam another chance?
