Ethan thought his marriage to Isabel was solid—eight years of love, laughter, and shared dreams. But everything shattered the moment he got a call from a nurse: Isabel was unconscious in the ER. He raced home, heart pounding, only to find another man—Logan—holding her hand by her hospital bed.
Logan calmly revealed he was Isabel’s lover. They’d been seeing each other for a year, and the accident that landed her in the ER happened while they were together. Ethan was stunned. He’d believed his hard work was keeping their life stable, but Isabel had felt emotionally abandoned.
Logan explained that Isabel still loved Ethan but had longed for affection and attention. Ethan, torn between rage and guilt, realized he’d missed the signs. When Isabel finally woke up, she didn’t recognize Logan—he lied and said he was Ethan’s colleague, then whispered to Ethan, “Make her happy.”
Ethan saw this moment as a second chance. The betrayal was real, but so was the love. Now, he had to decide whether to rebuild or walk away.
