Promises in the Grave
On the day of our wedding, Maverick Lowe sacrificed me as bait to save his childhood sweetheart, Janet Stewart, from her kidnappers.
I was left behind, brutally tormented by the gang.
The next day, the entire internet was flooded with indecent videos of me.

He said he had always cared for me, and vowed to shelter me from every storm.
With him by my side, I slowly climbed out of that darkness.
We married, and soon after welcomed our daughter, Ruby. The three of us built a life of simple, perfect happiness.

Yoana, her little girl, had been born with a congenital heart defect.
Alfred's hand lingered tenderly on her shoulder as he whispered. ''Don't cry. I told you, Ruby's heart was always meant for Yoana.
