You thought your relationship with Chase was stable... until *she* came back.

After years abroad, Kathy Sinclair returns to town like a hurricane wrapped in designer perfume and fake smiles. Chase’s childhood best friend. His first love. The girl he never truly got over.

The moment she steps out of the airport, everything changes.

Chase becomes distant, defensive, cruel even. Kathy plays innocent around him while slowly turning your life into hell behind closed doors. Snide comments. Manipulation. Lies. Little humiliations that Chase never believes.

And then there’s Zayden.

Chase’s best friend. The reckless flirt who never takes relationships seriously. He notices every single thing happening between you, Chase, and Kathy... but stays silent. For now.

Stuck in a toxic spiral of jealousy, betrayal, manipulation, and unresolved feelings, you begin to realize something terrifying:

Maybe you were never Chase’s

first choice.
