“You have no right to question me,” I snapped, defiance burning in my voice. “I’m not answering you. Why did you lie to him? I’m not your wife anymore—not in any way that matters. It’s just a signature on paper. I came back to set you free, to end this so we never have to face each other again. I’ll tell him the truth myself and clear up his confusion.”
Marc’s lips twisted into a grim smile. His hand shot out, fingers clamping around my arm, pressing into my flesh with unyielding force. “I know you won’t,” he said, his voice low and dangerous. “Don’t ever forget, Carmen—you’re still my legal wife.”
Carmen thought she’d found her happily-ever-after when she married the man of her dreams. Young, simple, and breathtakingly beautiful, she gave him her heart—until his devastating betrayal shattered it. She walked away, determined to leave her past behind. But fate had other plans. Drawn back into his world, Carmen intends to confront her ex-husband one last time, sever their ties, and move on for good. There’s nothing left between them—or so she believes. Unbeknownst to her, he’s not ready to let go. Trapped by his cunning, Carmen faces a man who’ll stop at nothing to reclaim what he considers his.
