"He thinks you left him, just like the last girl he loved" He laughs, his hot breath fanning across her cheek. "Serves him right for trying to take what has always been mine."

HE is the one who promised that you would forever be mine. and HE doesn't tell lies Maisie."
He drug his hot, wet tongue across her dirty cheek, leaving a trail of sticky saliva in its wake. She cried out, trembling, tears rolling down her face. This couldn't be how it ended for her, it just couldn't. She needed to see Garren again, needed to tell him how much she loved him.
