Dear Readers, Ethan and Marissa’s story isn’t one you’d see in a fairytale, but it is painfully real an echo of countless relationships unraveling in the shadows of modern life. They had everything we think love should be: chemistry, passion, and promises whispered in the dark. But love, no matter how strong, can collapse like a house of cards when carelessly played.
