Cole lost the love of his life to his own betrayal. He fought to redeem himself, but time had already sealed his fate. Now, he is left to reckon with the harsh reality that his wife Sara has moved on, her heart now held by another man. Not just any man, but Archie-his best friend-the one who stood by her, mending the wounds Cole had inflicted.

And so, he must move on too. He must learn to exist without her, to piece together a life where love is a distant memory, where the one who once meant everything is no longer his to hold. But is there still a path to happiness for a man who has lost everything? Can he rise from the ashes of his mistakes, prove himself worthy, even when no one believes he can?

And more importantly... can he still find love? 

This story is Cole's awakening, a journey of reckoning and renewal, as he sheds the weight of his past and rises into the man he was meant to be.
