Returning the Ten Years I Stole
The night I sleep with Graham Rowland, he has just broken up with his girlfriend, Leanna Sandoval.
Out of responsibility, he marries me. Our marriage is calm and steady. I once believe this is forever.
But then, Leanna dies of illness.
When he goes to mourn her, he learns that Leanna discovered what happened between us that night. That is why she loses hope and leaves him.
At the same time, he discovers my secret diary of unrequited love. He becomes convinced that I deliberately destroyed their relationship and comes to hate me deeply.
He divorces me, leaves me with nothing, and makes my life difficult at every turn.
At the brink of death, I hear him say in an icy voice, "Your love disgusts me."
When I open my eyes again, I return to two hours before the fateful event that night—when he is about to get drunk after the breakup.
I grab my coat, rush out of the room, and knock on Leanna's door.
