Echoes and Amber

A Marriage in Trouble Betrayal and Grovel Story

He kissed her two days before our wedding. Then he spent five years letting me call her my friend.

SOFIA

The night my marriage falls apart, I'm laughing with my husband. Five years married to Isaac, and I'm still ridiculously in love with him. I thought I knew exactly how lucky I was.
Then his best friend makes one drunken remark. Two days before our wedding, Isaac disappeared with another woman.
His lifelong friend. The woman who stood at our wedding, ate at our table, and smiled in my face for five years while knowing what my husband had done. And he let me walk down the aisle without ever telling me.
Now every memory hurts. Every kiss feels different. And the man who broke my heart is still the man I want to crawl into bed beside. I still love him. But I don't know if I can ever forgive him.

ISAAC

I loved Sofia when I betrayed her. I loved her when I married her. Every morning of the five years that followed.
I let Sofia build a life with me without knowing the truth. Convinced myself that being a good husband could make up for a betrayal she didn't even know existed.
Now she knows. And there's nothing I wouldn't give to go back and tell her the truth before she put on that dress.
But I can't undo what I've done. I can only face every ugly consequence and fight for the woman I never stopped loving.
I'll beg. I'll break. I'll spend the rest of my life earning another chance if she'll give me one.
Because the woman who once couldn't wait to marry me is now the woman who might never choose me again.
