Chapter 1
The piano piece my boyfriend casually played at the mall?
It went viral overnight.
But instead of sharing in his spotlight, I became the poor girl everyone pitied.
“Girl, RUN.”
“That piece is clearly a tribute to his ex-he’s not over her, and you’re just standing there?”
At the time, I didn’t believe it.
I mean, Daniel had never even mentioned an ex before.
But then…
I walked into our brand-new apartment-and saw their bodies tangled on our bed.
His voice still echoes in my head:
“Lauren Carter, you’re boring as hell. There’s zero spark between us.”
And yet-after I walked away and left him with the woman he claimed to love.
He turned around, pointed straight at her, and snapped:
“Get the hell out! Lauren Carter is my wife!”
The DMs and comment notifications kept piling up-mostly from strangers who were way too invested in the song Daniel played.
They weren’t haters.
They were… trying to warn me.
“Girl, that song’s literally about a man who pines for his true love forever, then settles for someone he doesn’t even like.”
“Ask him to show you a pic of his ex. I bet she looks a lot like you.”
“Congrats on unlocking the ‘You Remind Me of Her’ heartbreak starter pack.”
My entire comment section was just roast after roast, half-jokes, half-warnings-but every single one of them planted seeds of doubt.
I glanced over at Daniel, peacefully sleeping next to me, and suddenly, my stomach twisted.
Daniel could play the piano-beautifully, even.
But come to think of it, I could count on one hand the number of times I’d actually heard him play.
With his level of skill, there’s no way he only knew one song.
And yet-the one time I told him I was filming for TikTok, he chose that song.
The one people immediately linked to lost love and regret.
Why?
Chapter 1
My best friend tried to talk me down.
“Don’t spiral, babe. Daniel doesn’t strike me as the can’t-let-go type.”
“He probably just played it without thinking.”
But the truth?
I didn’t know a damn thing about Daniel’s past.
He’d never shared it with me.
That’s when I got a DM request that made my heart drop.
The first words jumped right out of the screen: “Hey Daniel… you okay?”
