LYSSANDRA I'm standing on the edge of my balcony, one foot hanging off the edge, the evening breeze blowing the smell of citrus flowers into my nose.I'm considering stepping off the edge. It wouldn't take much, and really, no one would miss me. No one except my best-friend, Riley, and maybe, Cade.I'm convinced this evening is the best day because this is the happiest I've been in a year, and I've always wanted to die happy.I hear the bedroom door open, and I sigh. Another missed opportunity. I smell Riley’s perfume before I hear her voice. Riley’s voice is sultry, the voice of a vixen luring men to destruction in a 90’s movie.“Lys? Where are you? Mrs. Nagia gave me your tea.” Riley says.The smell of citrus fills my nose again, as I tilt the wine glass in clutching to my lips. I could still do it, just one step over the edge, and Riley would lay my dead body to rest, same as I did for my parents.Instead, coward that I am, I chicken out again, and head into the room, sweeping th

LYSSANDRA Uncle Nathan comes around the table, and kisses me gently on the cheeks.I roll my eyes.My uncle is Judas.This is a kiss of betrayal.Arcg is still sitting in my chair, and I walk around the desk, glaring down at him. “I guess it is not enough to fuck my husband, you also want my seat?”I don't wait for them to attack me, I will attack first, and win.Arch’s eyes flash with anger, but he stands, and walks around the desk.“Lyssandra, I understand you are angry, but that is no way to speak to a major shareholder. Show some respect.” Cade snaps at me.“You mean the same respect he showed me while he rammed his cock into you?” I grin, shrugging. “Okay.”I will never allow any of these men to see that I am hurt.They will never know that under this facade, I am broken, and drained, and sick.None of them care at all.“Lys, Cade is a man, he's allowed to do whatever he wants. You can't bring the issues in your marriage to work.”“I haven't planned to, because Cade is no longe

LYSSANDRA He kisses me again, and for one stupid second, I melt.But then I remember the sound Cade made when he moaned into Cade’s mouth.I remember the way Sadie held her stomach as though I was the enemy.I bite down hard on his lower lip, so hard that I can taste his blood.Cade staggers back, cursing. “Fuck! What the hell is wrong with you, Lyssandra?”I wipe my lips with the back of my hand. "I want nothing to do with you. I’m filing for divorce. And I want you off my board.”“You’d really do that to me?” he says. “After everything we’ve been through? We’ve always stood by each other, Lys. You were mine before you even knew what love was.”His fingers dig into my arms, squeezing so tightly I feel my bones will snap.Gritting my jaw, I hold back the whimper of pain.He has broken me more times than I can count, I refuse to allow him win this time too."How can you do this to me? After everything we’ve been through? It was a simple mistake!”"A simple mistake?"His eyes look awa
