By the Time You Regret, I'm Gone

Synopsis

Evelyn Hart woke at six in the morning, right on schedule. A familiar, twisting pain gripped her stomach, as if an invisible hand was wringing her insides. She curled up beneath the sheets and clutched the fabric until her knuckles turned white. Cold sweat seeped from her temples and dampened the loose strands of hair along her face. Every morning for the past three years had started exactly like this. Evelyn had been diagnosed with late-stage stomach cancer, but her husband, Richard Lane, wanted her gone. His first love had come back, and that was all it took.
