About

Savannah's world shatters in a single moment when a devastating diagnosis collides with a life-altering revelation. Just as she grapples with the weight of being someone else's bride, the man she thought she knew—Zeus Lambert—reveals his true colors, leaving her to wonder: how much longer can she endure the lies?

With a baby on the way and a wedding postponed indefinitely, Savannah faces the heart-wrenching dilemma of love, betrayal, and the uncertainty of her future. As she navigates the treacherous waters of her relationship, the arrival of Zoraya—a young woman seemingly innocent yet dangerously entwined with Zeus—stirs an unsettling mix of jealousy and resolve. Will Savannah find the strength to reclaim her life before it’s too late, or will she be left picking up the pieces of a love that was never truly hers?

In a tale woven with passion, heartbreak, and the complexities of loyalty, Savannah must confront the truth about her past, the choices that lie ahead, and the haunting question: can you ever truly move on when love has knelt at your feet, too late?

He Knelt for Me Too Late, and I’m Someone Else’s BrideChapter 1

The day I found out I had a brain cancer, I was sitting on the steps outside Saint Gabriel’s Clinic, staring at the positive pregnancy test like it was some kind of cosmic joke.

My phone buzzed. It was Zeus Lambert—my boyfriend of seven years.

He didn’t even say hello.

“Savannah, I’ve been thinking… maybe we should push the wedding to next year, yeah? When things settle down with the club.”

I didn’t even flinch. “Y-yeah. Sure.”

“It’s not that I don’t want to. I do. You know I do, right? Just bad timing right now.”

I could tell he didn’t expect me to just roll with it. There was this long pause before he muttered something about business at the club and hung up. No “I love you,” not even a “see you later.”

Seven years. Seven damn years. We’d built everything together—our import front, the real estate flips, even the nightclub in Midtown. Just last year, we finally turned a profit. Got ourselves a nice car, and that loft in Tribeca waiting on renovations. If I hadn’t gotten sick… maybe next year I’d have a little baby in my arms.

My baby. Our baby.

But tonight? Zeus wasn’t coming home.
