**Chapter 1: Deception in Paradise**

The warm California sun cast its golden rays over Sabrina Carpenter's luxurious backyard, illuminating the crystal-clear waters of her pool. Maya Hart and Nick Robinson, both naked and glistening with water droplets, stood at the pool's edge, their eyes locked in a passionate gaze. Sabrina was out running errands at the local store, leaving the two alone at her lavish estate. Maya, with her slender figure and long, curly brown hair, couldn't resist Nick's charming smile and chiseled physique. Nick, known for his roles in various Hollywood films, had been in a complicated on-again, off-again relationship with Maya, a devoted fan of his work. As they stood there, the air was electric with tension, and it wasn't long before they gave in to their desires. Maya's hands roamed over Nick's chest, and he responded by pulling her close, their lips meeting in a fiery kiss. The sound of splashing water filled the air as they made their way into the pool, their passion taking over. The world around them melted away, leaving only the two of them, lost in the moment. Just as they were reaching a crescendo, a car door slammed shut in the distance, followed by the sound of the front gate opening. Sabrina was back. Panic set in as Maya and Nick froze, their eyes darting towards the pool house. They knew they had to hide, but it was too late. Sabrina walked into the backyard, her eyes scanning the scene before her. Her gaze landed on Maya and Nick, still entwined in the pool, their bodies glistening with water. Sabrina's expression changed from calm to shocked, her eyes widening in surprise. Nick quickly pushed Maya away, trying to compose himself, but it was too late. Sabrina had already seen them. She turned and walked away, her eyes welling up with tears. The sound of her footsteps echoed through the backyard as she disappeared into the house. Days passed, and Nick started avoiding Maya, not knowing how to face her or Sabrina. The tension between them was palpable. Maya, on the other hand, was struggling to cope with her emotions. In the past, she had turned to self-harm to deal with her pain, and now, the familiar urge resurfaced. As the sun set over Sabrina's estate, Maya found herself standing in the bathroom, staring at her reflection. She had taken a razor to her wrists, the pain a temporary distraction from the ache in her heart. Sabrina found her, and as she looked at Maya's wounded wrists, her heart broke. "Maya, oh my god, what have you done?" Sabrina exclaimed, tears streaming down her face. Maya burst into sobs, and Sabrina enveloped her in a warm hug. "I'm so sorry, Maya. I love you," Sabrina whispered, holding her close. As they stood there, Nick walked into the bathroom, his eyes scanning the scene before him. He looked at Maya's wrists, and his expression softened. "Maya, I'm so sorry. I was a coward to avoid you like that." Sabrina looked at Nick, her eyes pleading. "You need to understand, Nick. We're in this together. We're all in this polygamous relationship, and we need to work through our issues together." As the night drew to a close, Maya cried herself to sleep in Sabrina's arms, Nick watching over them, his heart filled with regret and a newfound determination to make things right. The complicated web of their relationship had just gotten more tangled, and it remained to be seen how they would navigate the challenges ahead.
