He was born into wealth and privilege. She was born into struggle. As children, he made her life miserable. He bullied her relentlessly, mocking her in front of classmates because she was overweight, quiet, and came from a poor, striving family. He humiliated her at every chance he got, tearing down her confidence and chasing away anyone who dared to befriend her. She hated him with every piece of her heart and prayed that once high school ended, their paths would never cross again. Fate seemed to answer her prayers. After graduation, she earned a scholarship to study in the United States, leaving behind the pain, the memories... and him. Six years passed. She was no longer the same girl he once knew. But fate had its own plans. An unexpected meeting. A past that refused to stay buried. A boy who once broke her. A man who might beg for forgiveness. Will he be given a second chance? Will she let go of the hate she carried for years... or will her past remain unforgiven? Some wounds heal. Some loves begin with pain.

My hands shook as I fought back tears, refusing to let him see me break. But he wasn't finished. "What did you expect?" he scoffed, eyes narrowing. "This is what gold diggers like you get. Money has a price, and now you're paying yours. Enjoy it, wife." Without another word, he turned and walked away, leaving me standing in the massive, empty living room-speechless, breathless, and drowning in disbelief. I never expected this. © MaryRose 2018.
