Silent Blitz: When Life Rushes In

💔 Story Description:
Jaxon Briggs has it all—fame, a career as a star NFL linebacker, and the high school sweetheart who believed in him before the world knew his name. But behind the victories and highlight reels, his marriage to Talia has dulled into quiet routine. He never strayed, but his eyes did wander… until the day she walked away and served him divorce papers without warning.

What Jaxon doesn’t know is that Talia’s secret isn’t about betrayal—it’s about survival. Diagnosed with a brain tumor, she chose to walk away rather than let him watch her fade.

Torn apart by heartbreak and buried emotions, they must find their way back to each other in the face of fear, surgery, and the fragile hope of a second chance. As Jaxon plays the biggest game of his life, both on and off the field, Talia holds one last secret—one that might just change everything.
