"I-I can't, I-I don't..." Tears sting my eyes as I desperately search for words. Keep it together, Gwen. You've got to. I stand up straighter and take a deep breath. "I don't love you, it was all fake."
I can almost feel his throat tighten up, his body stiffen, his blood run cold.
"Wait, it's not true!" I want to scream at him until my voice becomes hoarse, until I can't speak anymore.
The words that came out of my mouth felt like venom, like a knife to his back. "I'm sorry," My face hurts from holding in the tears and all I want to do is scream at him that this moment was all a trick, that I don't care.
But no matter what I did, I couldn't.

BROKEN HOPE (Lucas & Emilia Book 2)
I was so damn naive it's no wonder I've ended up here. Kidnapped by the man who promised me forever, just as I'd begun to understand the depths of his betrayal. It's a sad truth I didn't marry my husband for love. I married him for the life he promised to provide, and if I'm honest with myself, I married him in hopes one day he'd fill the void Lucas-my first love-left behind. Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I've walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life's harshest lesson... I'm not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me. Especially now. Surrounded by danger and at the mercy of my husband's enemies, I'm forced to face one final bit of truth. Much like love, hope is for the weak.

In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 2 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc.
