He was the man I once fought for. I watched him in the crowd, his tall figure looming over the others. He still looked the same from the day he left me, his hair was different, it was a shade darker from before and it appeared to be tousled and messy, his sharp jaw was neat with no stuble left, and his dark eyes still held the same sharp and cold gaze. But as his eyes met mine, I was overwhelmed by the memories I once forgot, they were all coming back to me like a tide on the waves, my heart pounding with each memory. And as I blinked, trying not to believe that I had seen him, he was suddenly infront of me, a warm smile on his face. His lips parted, and I became nervous. His words were never the truth, they were lies drowned in feeble vows, ones that would never come true. He was the one who left me, left my heart to bleed for him. I had suffered for the past two years, and I wasn't going to let him into a second chance with me. I would not let myself to be stupid once again. And with my eyes locked on his, I raised my hand high, and slapped him hard on the face. It had been two years. After having an affair, a one night stand, and being left by the man she loved, Abby had told herself to forget the man who broke his promise, the man who promised he would come back. She had moved on, had a stable job, and a perfect relationship. But she soon finds herself in the midst of a crowd, standing infront of him, with her boyfriend beside her. The stakes were higher this time, and the world would be watching their every move. He had come back for her, and he wasn't going to stop until she wants him back. -Book two of The Billionaire Series-
