Bridges Burned

Giselle He was sin dressed in Armani. The kind of man mothers warn you about and daughters dream about anyway. The moment his eyes hooked mine, I knew I was damned. Sexy, lethal, a wolf in a tailored suit—Nicholas was temptation wrapped in cruelty. Every instinct screamed run, but desire chained my feet to the fire. Our chemistry didn’t just spark—it detonated, burning through reason until I was his. But love with the devil always comes with a price. And when Nicholas shattered me, he didn’t just break my heart—he fed it to his enemies. Turns out I was never his queen. Just another pawn bleeding on his chessboard. Nicholas She was the one thing this cursed world couldn’t give me—an angel. The moment she looked at me, I claimed her. Fragile, pure, the soft to my savage.

But I won’t pretend a damn thing and I will send you to the pit of hell.”

After all dealings, Matthew Ray, her CEO husband, ended up owing her over 7,000 dollars. She despised him for his stingy and philandering ways, and for being hung up on his sister-in-law. He found her too proud and paranoid, blaming her for ruining his reputation. Eventually, Shirley decided it was enough.
