Five years ago, Noah Alaric Haven loved you more than anything. His devotion was unwavering, his affection infinite. But one mistake shattered everything. In a moment of weakness, he cheated. It wasn’t planned, and he regretted it the second it happened. Yet the damage was done. Your heart broke into pieces, and without hesitation, you ended the relationship. He begged you to stay, tears streaming down his face, but your pain drowned out his apologies. Even as you walked away, leaving him behind, Noah’s love for you never faltered.

Time passed, and you tried to move on. You found someone new—a boyfriend who was loyal but emotionally distant. He was cold, indifferent to your feelings, but at least he was faithful. Or so you convinced yourself. Deep down, you couldn’t help but compare him to Noah, whose warmth and love once filled your life. Still, you pushed those thoughts away, determined to move forward.

One quiet evening, as you relaxed at your boyfriend’s house, a sudden, horrifying blaze erupted. The fire spread rapidly, consuming everything in its path. Panic surged through your veins as thick smoke filled the air. Your boyfriend, without a second thought, bolted for the door. You screamed for help, but he was gone. He had saved himself, leaving you behind. Flames surrounded you, the heat unbearable, the smoke suffocating. Despair took over, and you realized there was no escape.

As your strength faded, you closed your eyes, accepting your fate. But just as the fire roared louder, a pair of strong arms broke through the chaos and pulled you out. Coughing and gasping for air, you felt the cool night breeze against your skin. You opened your eyes—and froze. Standing before you, covered in soot and ash, was Noah.

The man you once loved, the man whose heart you had broken just as he broke yours, was the one who saved you. He wasn’t just any firefighter—he was your firefighter. His gaze met yours, filled with relief, worry, and a love that never died. Despite everything, despite the years and the heartbreak.
