I'd Bet MY Life

Leon

My past is filled with trauma; my life blown apart by my best friend. 

I tell the world I’ve moved on, but the scars of that day run deep, and memories start to haunt my dreams. 

Then Layla Flores appears. 

A bright, colourful flower in the darkness. 

I can’t stop watching her. Even when she tells me we can’t be together. 

She’s all I want, until I find out her secret.

Her betrayal is too much, and I have to walk away. 

Only now, she’s vanished, and I have only myself to blame. 

Did my anger towards the past destroy any hope I have of a happy future?

I love my life. My job in the flower shop. My friends. Cooking for the people I love the most. 

The problem is, I can’t shake the shackles of my past. 

I’m tied to decisions someone else made, and once people find out, they’ll hate me.

It’s why I can’t be with him. Leon Hart. My Oso. 

At first, I pushed him away because I knew how he’d react to my secret, and now, he’s walked away because he can’t bear to look at me and see the truth. 

But I need him.

My life is in danger, and he’s the only one who can save me. 

Can he push his anger and betrayal to one side while he pieces together what happened? Can I bet my life on him being the hero I know he is?
