The vibrant woman before him was a stark contrast to the quiet, reserved person he had taken for granted during their marriage.

"Your husband was attacked three weeks ago during a business transaction gone wrong. Spinal injury, complete paralysis below the chest. The family has managed to keep it quiet, but not quiet enough."

"I've been learning about the woman who has captured my interest so completely," he corrected. "There's a difference." "This is insane. You barely know me."

And then I was falling, the wind rushing past me, the ground disappearing beneath me. As I plummeted toward the darkness below, one thought consumed me: Rex had never loved me. He had only wanted to use me, steal everything I had and get rid of me. I was a fool to love him. If I could do it over again, I would have never ever let him deceive him, I would have destroyed him, Lillian and that beast who took advantage of me in the forest but now, It was too late. I was already doomed to die With that thought, I hit the ground with enough force to shatter every bone in my body, and that was how I died. Killed by my husband on my wedding day

I was proud, and I could not understand why my own husband treated me so coldly, so we argued often. And it was at Mary’s birthday party that I first learned about Vanessa.
