Marcus thought leaving his marriage for a new love was the right choice—until introducing his girlfriend, Jenna, at his daughter Maya’s 15th birthday led to chaos, a slap, and a devastating revelation.
Months after divorcing his wife, Izzy, Marcus arrived at the family party with Jenna, hoping to move forward. Instead, Izzy’s mother, Gloria, slapped Jenna, revealing that she had bullied Izzy in high school and nearly ruined her college career. Jenna admitted she’d known about Marcus’s connection to Izzy all along but had hidden it.
The shocking truth shattered Marcus. His children, Maya and Caleb, were furious, and Izzy’s quiet composure left him to face the wreckage alone. Jenna stormed out, and Marcus realized he had destroyed his family for someone who had tormented the woman he’d loved for two decades. In chasing a fantasy, he lost the trust and respect of everyone he held dear.
