He loved her with the quiet devotion of a man who had already lost once.
She studied him with the precision of someone who planned to take everything.

Five years after the death of his beloved wife Elena, David Ortiz believed in second chances?a love that might honor the past while offering a future. Cassandra entered his life radiant, attentive, magnetic?exactly what grief told him he needed. She carried just enough emotional resonance to make him believe they could build a life together. A home. A family. But while she mirrored compassion, she concealed a cruel intent?one choreographed to exploit the love Elena left behind and the vulnerabilities David never saw coming. Behind the curated dinner parties and whispered promises lay a blueprint for betrayal.

As David clings to memory and steps into new beginnings, he must navigate the shadows between devotion and deception, permanence and performance, gold and glass.

When the truth begins to unravel, David learns Cassandra's betrayal wasn't impulsive?it was architectural. With the help of her co-conspirator Juan, she spent months studying his habits, isolating his support system, and siphoning his wealth. What began as seduction became sabotage. What he believed was fate became fraud.

From Gold to Glass is a haunting exploration of grief, vulnerability, and the weaponization of trust. It's the story of a man who refuses to be dismantled?and the reckoning that follows when love is used as disguise.

What survives betrayal isn't trust?it's the quiet decision to begin again.
