RecommendedAuthor: Zhi Zhi Lai|Status: Completed
Alice York has always believed she held a special place in Wyatt Sterling's heart. Without a title or official status, she made herself perfectly obedient and endlessly sensible, always available at his beck and call, always waiting by the door for the nights he might come home. She gave up everything to be his quiet comfort, his secret kept behind closed doors. When Wyatt finally brings another woman into their shared space, Alice realizes the bitter truth she has been avoiding. She was never his sweetheart -- she was his convenience. The woman who moves in has the title, the status, and the public affection Alice was never granted. Heartbroken but unwilling to break, Alice begins to plan her exit from a life that was never truly hers. But the moment Alice starts to pull away, Wyatt notices. For the first time, he comes home every night, not to the new woman, but to Alice's door. The question is whether his sudden devotion is genuine regret or simply the panic of a man losing his safety net. Alice must decide if she is willing to be loved on someone else's terms, or if walking away is the bravest thing she has ever done.
