After I Gave Up On My Husband
"Be honest with me," I said, quiet. "If she didn’t leave back then, would you have married me?”
Silence.
The whole car silent.
He looked at me. I looked at him. Heart heavy and shuddering. Dreading the answer but still asking it. “Would you have married me? Would you?"
He didn't say anything. Didn't give me the reaction I wanted. He unbuckled his seat belt rather, pushed open the door and out he went. “Stop mentioning her. I've already handled today’s news. It was my mistake. It won’t happen again.”
*Bam*
For four years, Alma Hartwell was the perfect wife.
Patient.
Loyal.
Always there when her husband needed her.
Unfortunately, Damien Ashford never needed her the way she needed him.
To him, their marriage was stable, convenient, and exactly what it was supposed to be.
Until Alma asked for a divorce.
Now the wife he took for granted wants out, the marriage he never questioned is falling apart, and the one woman who was never supposed to leave is walking away.
The problem?
Damien refuses to let her go.
