Poisonous Passion (ePub)

Dexter Crane and Carmen Haines were the envy of many for their relationship. They seemed like the ideal couple, the stars of the prom, and the pair that everyone anticipated to last forever. Their connection was solid, rooted in a shared history and a similar understanding of each other's dreams and fears.

Carmen sees people in a good light. She's kind, diligent, and very loyal. She cherishes love and loyalty, and she planned her future with Dexter as her partner. They had aims for education, work, and eventually, a family.

Dexter, on the other hand, is charismatic and passionate, with a zest for life that draws people to him. He loves Carmen deeply, but his restless spirit sometimes gets the better of him. He's the life of the party, and someone who thrives on the adoration he receives.

Their relationship was built on a foundation of mutual respect and affection. They supported each other's endeavors, celebrated each other's successes, and comforted each other through hardships. However, Dexter's one-night stand with Carol Avery introduced a crack in that foundation, one that threatened to grow into an insurmountable chasm.

Carmen's trust in Dexter is shaken, and the betrayal cuts deep, not just because of the infidelity but because it was with Carol, her rival. The dynamics of their relationship are now fraught with insecurity, hurt, and the daunting task of forgiveness.

As Dexter tries to mend what's broken, Carol's obsession adds a dangerous element to the narrative. Her refusal to let go sets the stage for a tumultuous journey that will test Dexter and Carmen's love and the strength of their bond.
