My secret is out.
My entire existence is shattered, and picking myself up again proves difficult.
Leaving Rose behind for a new beginning is harder than I thought, but I need to try for a more independent me with a promising future.
One that doesn’t involve the infuriating yet irresistible man who challenges me at every turn.
Pushing me.
Protecting me.
Tempting me beyond any possible resistance.
This is the lie I tell myself.
Making good decisions—apparently—doesn’t come easily to me and this time, I’ve gone too far.
This time, I’ve made a fatal mistake.
I just hope it doesn’t break me in the end.
