At the age of 21, my life was great. My dream of becoming a fashion designer was well on its way. I had the best supportive parents, and an overprotective brother who would kill for me. I had the love of my life Danny; our love for each other was like no other, until it was threatened by his brother's jealousy. For a while, I ignored him and his behavior, until one faithful night when it all went terribly wrong. He raped me. When he started blackmailing, threatening, and terrorizing me, unbeknown to his brother, I had nowhere to run, no one to turn to. My life as I knew it spiraled out of control. Finally, I lost everything, including the love of my life. My heart shattered into unrecognizable pieces. There would never be another love like that. Devastated, and with a big secret, I was ashamed. With nowhere to turn, I ran away from my troubles, leaving everyone I loved behind me. I had to get away. It's been years since I last saw my parents. The guilt of not confiding in them ate at me from the inside. I had to go back, face them, and the monster that destroyed my life. What I didn't expect was to meet Ty. He was a force to be reckoned with. He stormed in and changed my life without knowing it. However, when someone threatened my life and those I loved, I was scared that my past had met up with my future. Now my secret would have to be revealed in order to fight for the future I deserved. How would it affect my relationship with Ty and my family? Could my parents forgive the hurt and betrayal? Will I get my happily ever after?
