Love is Sweet as Poison
I screamed.
At the same time, a resounding slap rang through the air.
The room fell deathly silent.
"Did you… Did you just hit me?" My hand flew to my cheek as I stared at Jacob in disbelief.
The man who once promised to love and cherish me forever—had just hit me.
Staring at his own hand, he was momentarily stunned by his own actions.
"Selene, where's your ring?" he asked, suddenly noticing something off about me.
He looked frantic, as though my missing ring was his biggest concern at the moment. He was the one who killed our child, yet he now had the audacity to act like he was deeply in love with me.
