Ex-Husband's Regret
“But why didn’t you invite me, I would have liked to be there with you, it’s not like I was against you getting married, Mom.”
I felt the hurt in her words, but I just didn’t know what to tell her. This wasn’t the kind of marriage she thought; it wasn’t a love match. How was I going to explain that my marriage to Gabriel was just a contract? That if I could have my way, and if he wasn’t threatening to take her away, I would never have married him.
“I’m sorry, darling, but you have to understand that things happened so fast,” I began. “There wasn’t any wedding party or anything like that... we just had to do it really quick.”
