Love's Antidote
"If we delay any longer, he'll be injured."
When I saw Maria hurry to call Jane, I breathed a sigh of relief.
In my last life, I had gone in to check on Ashton's condition. He had yanked me violently onto the bed. Maria thought it was consensual, so she turned and left.
After that, I was discovered to be pregnant, and our marriage was planned. I thought that we were in love, but it turned out to be the beginning of hell.
He hated me, and he hated the fact that I had married him because of what had happened and caused him to separate from the person he truly liked.
