A secret five-year relationship ends when pregnancy triggers betrayal and a fatal rescue choice.
Ainsley spent five years hidden as Dorian's partner until pregnancy brought accusations of unfaithfulness rather than joy. During a drowning incident, Dorian reached for Camille instead, causing Ainsley to lose their child. That decision severed her remaining ties. By morning she had quit her job, cleared her wardrobe, left the miscarriage documents on the coffee table, and departed for London with the man who pulled her from the water. Dorian returned to an empty closet and the paperwork, finally grasping the cost of his choice.
