“Is this yours?” I ask, showing my wedding ring—it scorches the skin on my palm. “Are you married?”
“Yes,” he admits after a long pause. Not a shred of regret shows on his face.
“You were lying to me.”
“I thought you wouldn’t find out.”
I can’t hold back a sob. The man of my dreams—the one who stole my heart and soul and let bright hope spread out—turned out to be nothing more than a married scoundrel.
“Take it,” I say bitterly, handing him the gold ring. “And don’t call me anymore. That’s it.”
I thought I’d forgotten. I thought I managed to cope, stepped over it, and left it behind. Until we met again.
He turned out to be my new boss—awfully picky and demanding—and at home I’m waiting for a charming little girl who looks just like him.
Single-volume novel.
