Heartbreak Made Me Strong, Love Made Me WholeChapter 1

At eleven, I was brought into the Whitmore family. Cohen Whitmore, sitting in his wheelchair with a calm demeanor, promised to take care of me from that day forward. His voice had been steady, but it carried a warmth I had never known.

At seventeen, my heart, bold and hopeful, led me to confess my feelings for him. Cohen's cold response shattered me. He called me shameless and threw me out of the Whitmore family without hesitation.

At twenty-one, he stormed into my room in the dead of night and asked if I was willing. My answer came in a kiss filled with all the love I had held for him over the years.

At twenty-three, I discovered I was carrying his child. Cohen said I had exhausted all his trust.

At twenty-four, with no strength left to endure, I staged my death and disappeared.

The years I spent tied to Cohen were like fleeting stars cutting through an endless night, beautiful but tragically brief. No matter how bright they burned, their light was destined to fade too quickly, leaving nothing but darkness in their wake.

It was the opening day of my graduation art exhibition, a moment I had been eagerly anticipating.
