For THREE long years, Amari Grenor set aside her dreams and talents to become the devoted wife of Sebastian Clavel. Once a rising star in the world of music and performance, Amari walked away from her passion and ambition, believing that love and family were worth the sacrifice. She gave her all—her time, her heart, her very identity—to support Sebastian’s career and their marriage, thinking that in return, she was building a life of shared dreams and mutual devotion.
But everything Amari thought she knew began to unravel the moment Sebastian’s first love—awoke from a coma. Her sudden return shook the foundation of Amari’s carefully built world. What Amari believed was a secure and loving marriage turned out to be a fragile illusion, easily shattered by a ghost from Sebastian’s past. The moment his former love reentered the picture, Sebastian’s demeanor changed. The affection, the attention, the quiet respect he once gave Amari faded almost overnight. Soon after, he handed her divorce papers, along with the cold assumption that all she ever wanted from him were his properties, his money, and his name.
Stunned and heartbroken, Amari could barely comprehend how everything had changed so quickly. The betrayal pierced deeper than she imagined possible—not only had she lost the man she loved, but she also lost the life she had spent years building. And yet, even as the pain overwhelmed her, Amari knew she had a choice to make: she could either let this heartbreak destroy her or she could find a way to rise above it.
Instead of begging, pleading, or drowning in self-pity, Amari chose freedom. With a quiet strength, she signed the divorce papers, rejecting any claims to Sebastian’s wealth or properties. She walked away with nothing but her dignity and a burning determination to reclaim her life. It was time to remember who she was before she became a wife—before she allowed love to eclipse her own identity. She made a promise to herself: she would rise again, stronger and wiser, and this time she would live for herself.
As Amari begins her journey of healing and rediscovery, she dives back into the world she once left behind—the world of music, art, and creative expression. With the support of old friends and unexpected allies, she finds new opportunities, rediscovers her voice, and slowly rebuilds the confidence that had been buried beneath years of self-sacrifice.
In the process, she learns that pain can be a catalyst for transformation, and that the end of a relationship doesn’t mean the end of her worth. Amari discovers that she doesn’t need to be someone’s wife to matter, to thrive, or to dream. Her happiness, she realizes, was never meant to be dependent on another person’s love—it was always hers to create.
What began as heartbreak becomes a journey of empowerment. Amari Sandoval, once defined by her role as a wife, now carves out a new identity for herself—one not built on someone else’s dreams, but on her own passion, strength, and self-respect. And in the quiet moments of her newfound freedom, she learns that sometimes, losing everything is exactly what you need to find yourself.

"You'll know everything when the time is right."


"What?! Seriously? Are you even my friend?"


"Of course I am! And I'll even cook for you later."


Nicky's eyes lit up with excitement. As a self-proclaimed foodie, she had always adored Amari's cooking—not just because it was delicious, but because it rivaled that of a professional chef. Whenever Amari cooked, it felt like dining at a five-star restaurant.


"Of course I'm serious," Amari replied with a light chuckle.


"Okay then! I want braised pork, lion's head meatballs, sweet and sour fish..." Nicky rattled off her requests enthusiastically, not wasting a second.


Amari's brow furrowed in disbelief as Nicky went on to name at least eight more dishes in a single breath.


"Are you even sure you can finish all of that?"


"Obviously! I've got a big appetite, remember?"


Amari sighed, half-laughing, half-resigned. "Fine. Whatever you want."
