Cheating and Betrayal Second Chance Romance MC Obsession - The Road to Grovel #984935

He didn't lose her in a fight.
He lost her in a parking lot she never knew about — when another woman made the call he didn't have the courage to make himself.
Simone Vega gave Cole "Raker" Mercer four years. Four years of loving a man who showed it in small, unglamorous ways — stocked shelves, quiet rooms, tea made at nine-forty on a Tuesday when he knew she hadn't eaten. She thought she knew every part of him.
She didn't know about the fear.
She didn't know about the five months.
She didn't know until a stranger called her in a parking lot at twelve-fourteen on a Thursday and told her the truth her man couldn't find the spine to say himself.
Simone did one thing. She drove to the clubhouse. She put his key on the bar in front of every brother who called him theirs.
She said two words.
I know.
Then she left and built a life without him.
Now Cole has a choice. He can let her go — or he can get on the road to grovel. Not with flowers. Not with speeches. Not with one tearful confession in a hallway that she's supposed to forgive on the spot.
With everything.
His rank. His name. His certainty. His belonging.
Everything he built in fifteen years inside the Broken Asphalt MC — gone, piece by piece, cost by cost, because she is worth more than any of it and it took losing her to make him finally understand what that means.
But Simone isn't waiting.
She's building.
She's choosing.
And when she finally turns back toward him — it won't be because she forgave him.
It will be because she decided.
There's a difference.
He's about to find out if he's worth it.
The Road to Grovel. Some debts can only be paid in full.
