Eight years of marriage, and I'd become nothing more than a ghost in Alex Morrow's house. He treated Mandy Reid with endless tenderness, but when I was on the verge of collapse, begging for help, he dismissed it as me being dramatic. I handed him the divorce papers and told him I'd be gone for good in twenty-eight days. He scoffed, thinking I was playing hard to get again. On the twenty-eighth day, the final countdown, he cried his eyes out at the airport, begging me not to leave. Tears streamed down his face as he let go of all his pride. He thought I was heading to Patrinford to start a new life. But he didn't know that I had chosen that place to be where it all ended for me. Some things couldn't be brought back over tears, like a broken heart or a withering life.
