I propped myself down on the sofa . "I can't believe she could do this and act innocent all along. She separated us for her so-called love for me. Fucking unbelievable!" The feeling of betrayal was tearing me apart. The one whom I trusted so much to be my support in those was the one who caused my sufferings. "Bitch. That's all she is." Ryan made a disgusted face. "I missed spending three damn years of my life with Brae. We would have been a family if she didn't break our marriage off. " I put my head in my hands thinking over everything.

"You are the bad one here because she came to you when she was in need, when she was hurt. She trusted you and you betrayed her without thinking about the consequences of your actions. She probably still doesn't know of your hand in her predicament." "Betrayal? Trust? Consequences?" Jasper says in a mocking tone. "Oh, really? Why do I feel like these situations are familiar?
