All it took was four words for Amélie's heart to be won again by the same person that hurt her most. "I still need you," he says, his lips brushing on mine. I can't stop the tears from escaping my eyes, that is the moment I knew I had my husband back. Miles Perez, the love of my life. Pushing aside all the fear I had of loosing him once more, I lean in and kiss him. ** She wonders if she never heard him say those words, would she care that one out of the ten news headlines she saw says: Miles Perez, engaged to Maddison Leroy, died at the age of twenty-nine, while the others read: Miles Perez, husband to Amélie Perez and father to Henri died due to an ongoing battle he had with his sickness which the family wishes to not disclose. Would that one headline matter? Amélie found happiness when the world seemed to be working against her. Her happiness starts with the letter m, Miles Perez, but her destruction also starts with the letter m, Maddison Leroy.

I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery.
