20 parts Complete MatureEthan Harper thought he understood love when he fell for Ava Bennett- a raw, passionate, and unbreakable love. In their small town, they were inseparable, dreaming of a future far beyond the limits of their reality. But one fateful night changed everything. A cryptic letter, an unanswered phone call, and a betrayal neither of them could explain drove Ethan to leave without looking back, leaving Ava in the wreckage.
Ten years later, Ethan has built a life that looks perfect on paper but feels empty in his heart. When a sudden inheritance pulls him back to the town he swore he'd never return to, he finds himself face-to-face with Ava, now a celebrated artist whose fame stems from her haunting, enigmatic work.
As Ethan delves into the meaning behind Ava's art, he uncovers truths he was never meant to know- about their past, the betrayal that tore them apart, and a shadowy figure who orchestrated their heartbreak. With danger closing in and the lines between love and obsession blurring, Ethan and Ava must decide if the spark they once had can survive the truth-or if some wounds cut too deep to heal.
A gripping tale of love, loss, and redemption, The Girl I Once Loved explores how far two people will go to uncover the truth and whether the bonds of the heart can withstand the test of time.
