For The First Day of Christmas My True Love Gave To Me : Love, Lies & My Next Baby Daddy

For the first day of Christmas, Merci learned the truth.

She did everything right. She loved deeply, showed up faithfully, and stood beside Lexington while the world celebrated his success. The perfect girlfriend, the loyal woman, the one who believed love meant endurance and sacrifice. But while Merci was building a future, Lexington was betraying her by sleeping with the one person she trusted most.

Her cousin.

Heartbroken and humiliated, Merci’s world shatters just as the holidays begin.

Justice, Lexington’s teammate, has always noticed Merci’s quiet strength, her warmth, her worth and her unmistakable beauty. Where Lexington took her for granted, Justice shows up with patience, respect, and a kind of love that doesn’t require her to shrink or suffer to be chosen.

As secrets unravel, agendas are revealed, and loyalties are tested, Merci must decide if she’s brave enough to let go of the love that broke her… and open her heart to the one that could finally give her everything she deserves.

This Christmas, love comes wrapped in truth, betrayal, and an unexpected new beginning.

This is a short story.
