Chapter 1: Day 1 (My story)

"Hearts will break and people will hurt you darling. "Her mother said. But when you let those people control your outlook on the life, you only allow them to have a greater hold on your happiness. Once you accept the fact that every day is a new day to begin again, life becomes a much easier path to walk."-Courtney Giardina.

For once in my life, I thought that I found my prince charming. For once in my life, I thought that the man I adore love me. For once in my life...

My name is Ellie Richardson. I am 29 years old and I have 2 beautiful girls and one handsome boy, on the way. I am not married yet, but my fiancé, Jerry Wails, proposed to me two months ago. It was the most magical day of my life. I remember when jerry left me a letter near my bedside. The letter stated: "My Love, as I am writing this letter today. I have a million thoughts running through my mind. This letter is meant to be a testament to the love I feel for you- a love that is honestly hard to put into words because it is a love that can only be felt. Do you know how much you mean to me? You are the reason I am able to lay in bed and fall asleep peacefully. Looking at it, I realize your love has done so much for me in my life- you have offered me new opportunities that no other person would be able to offer me. I love you so much- more than words will ever be able to offer me. I love you so much- more than words will ever be express." I couldn't stop smiling. I got up and saw a dress on the doorknob. It told me to put it on, so I did after my shower. The scent of bacon and eggs came from the kitchen. I noticed that my daughter, grace, was setting the table just for me. I had no clue what was even happening. I grabbed a mug from the cabinet and filled it with coffee. Most women may think that their boyfriend may propose to them like today, but jerry was always a romantic person. We grew up together. We were childhood friends. We were I guess meant to be. That day was the happiest day of my life. I still remember that day. Every night, I can feel his arms gripping my waist like I was being protected. Jerry knew how to make me smile. Jerry knew how to make me safe. Jerry knew how to make my day. Until one day, changed my life...
