I'm not understanding why this is a different title than on FF.net.  I've read the story there and see that it is essentially DC Oliver's plot.  He didn't really cheat, Ray deceived her, gave her and Teddy new identities...she had a daughter with the new husband and became a mother to his son...Christian has a daughter that isn't his biological child, but he has raised her as his own.  Where is the original storyline here, because what I am seeing is blatantly poaced from DC Oliver's Never Look Back, Please Turn Around.



Author's Response:

I suppose it depends on what you want from a story. If you are into the "news papper report" genre then, yes indeed both stories are the same: Ana and CG have separated for one reason or the other, while apart they have formed another family structure and will eventually get back together.                                                      On the other hand if you are more interested in the whys and hows and their emotional and intelectual journey there, then the reason for which they separated is different, their reaction to the events and the separation is different, both Ana and CG act differently and the people in their present lives have different personalities and interact in a different way. Speaking of which, you might want to read DC's story again: in that story Ray did not deceive Ana. She is the one who had chosen to not confront CG and asked her father to take her away.
