Chloe thought she had finally found happiness with Jack, but everything changed when she discovered a familiar magnet and a note on his fridge — both linked to her ex, Mike. The magnet was from a trip she took with Mike, and the note, written in Mike’s handwriting, brought back memories of their past.
Chloe had been in a relationship with Mike during university, but after graduation, he abruptly ended things, claiming he needed someone on his level. Despite the heartbreak, Chloe moved on and eventually met Jack, a kind and caring man she connected with deeply.
However, when Chloe saw the magnet and note in Jack’s kitchen, she confronted him. Jack revealed that Mike was his stepbrother, a detail he had kept hidden, fearing it would complicate their relationship. Jack explained that Mike had always been spoiled and difficult, and though he had tried to distance himself, their shared family dynamics were hard to ignore. Jack had even considered proposing to Chloe, but Mike’s presence disrupted his plans.
As Jack confessed, Chloe felt betrayed by his secrecy. She struggled to understand why Jack hadn’t told her about Mike sooner, especially given the significance of the magnet and note. Jack admitted he had used Mike’s regrets as a way to get closer to Chloe, hoping to rewrite the past.
The conversation left Chloe feeling confused and disillusioned. She realized she couldn’t trust Jack, and the realization that he had kept such a crucial part of his life from her shattered their relationship. After a week of silence, Chloe agreed to meet Jack for dinner to discuss their future, but deep down, she knew their relationship was over. Some lies were too much to overcome.
