Chanel's Interlude

THIS BOOK MUST BE READ AFTER BULLETPROOF LOVE. IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE A STANDALONE.

Chanel thought love would be enough.
But after Xavier is taken from her, everything she believed in begins to unravel. Forced into silence and separation, she is pushed into a life she never chose, one where grief has no language and loss has no closure.
In the years that follow, Chanel does what she must to survive. She buries herself in distractions, chasing numbness through reckless nights and empty connections. But even in her darkest moments, the echoes of what she lost, and the girl she used to be, never fully fades.
When she meets Charles, he offers her something Xavier never could—stability, structure, and a future that makes sense. With his help, she rebuilds her life from the outside in, earning her place in law school, becoming a prosecutor, and eventually a wife and mother. To the world, she has everything she once dreamed of.
But fulfillment and truth are not the same.
