Después de que muriera su primer amor, Sophia Hayes me odió durante diez años. Yo intenté recuperar su favor todos los días, pero ella solo me respondía con burlas frías. —Si de verdad quieres hacerme feliz, ¿por qué no te mueres de una vez? Sus palabras eran como dagas clavándose en mi corazón. Por eso, cuando murió en un charco de sangre al intentar salvarme de un camión que venía de frente, el impacto fue todavía mayor. Con la mirada fija en mí por última vez, susurró: —Si tan solo nunca te hubiera conocido... Su madre estaba destrozada por el dolor en el funeral. —Debí haber dejado que Sophia estuviera con Ethan Brooks. ¡Nunca debí obligarla a casarse contigo! Su padre también me miró con odio en los ojos. —Sophia te salvó la vida tres veces. Era una persona tan maravillosa... ¿Por qué no fuiste tú el que murió en su lugar? Todos lamentaban que Sophia se hubiera casado conmigo. Yo también. Me echaron del funeral, completamente destrozado.

Esta vez, elegí cortar por completo todos mis lazos con Sophia y darles a todos la versión de la historia que de verdad deseaban.
