Love, Regret, and a Chance for Redemption? ❤️
In a twist of fate, our protagonist falls in love with a woman he once hurt deeply by denying her entry to a club due to his own jealousy and hypocrisy. Now, years later, they’ve reconnected and he’s head over heels for her. She doesn’t know about their past encounter, and he’s torn between coming clean and risking their relationship, or keeping the secret and trying to make it up to her by being the best boyfriend and possibly husband he can be. Can he find redemption and make things right? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this emotional dilemma…
