WHEN I WOKE UP BEFORE TOMORROW
Meenah thought she had found love in Jon—until the day her world shattered.
Jon’s charm was intoxicating, his promises convincing, and his love seemed like a dream. But behind the smile was a man who controlled her with fear, pain, and manipulation. He blamed her for the death of his first love, Maria, and used that guilt to keep her trapped. Each night he forced her into a life of abuse, feeding her poison disguised as affection. When she finally discovers the horrifying truth—that he infected her with HIV and Hepatitis B, and that her family’s deaths were part of his cruel plan—Meenah’s life falls apart completely.
The pain reaches its peak when Jon takes her pregnancy away, brutally ending the life she carried and leaving her broken and voiceless. Meenah dies in a hospital bed, only to wake up in her past with a second chance at life.
This time, she refuses to be a victim.
With her memories of the future haunting her, Meenah chooses a different path. She walks away from Jon and finds comfort in the love of Dave—an honest, patient, and gentle man who has always cared for her from afar. Dave becomes her protector, her anchor, and her safe place. With the help of her best friend Aisha, a determined lawyer, and a supportive family, Meenah rebuilds her life slowly and courageously.
But Jon refuses to let go. As he loses control, his anger becomes dangerous, and Meenah must face her trauma and fight back. Along the way, she discovers the truth about Maria’s death and Jon’s hidden guilt—truths that change everything.
As Meenah heals, love begins to bloom again. She learns to trust, to live, and to love without fear. In the end, she finds a new life filled with peace, love, and family—while Jon’s past finally catches up to him.
