I Hope You Burn
“I did offer the inheritance and investment to Will, but he refused! He said he wanted to do it for you. He even became bankrupt from all the research!”
Janine shuddered, finally collapsing into despair. Her voice broke as she cried out, “So that’s the truth… I was wrong… I messed up.”
Realizing what she had lost, she grabbed my hand desperately and sobbed. “Will, I messed up. Can you forgive me? You must have saved me because you still love me! I’ll change! I’ll fix everything! Will you come back to me?”
I ignored her murmurs and easily freed my hand from hers. As my hand fell, Janine seemed to understand everything, and all hope drained from her.
