The One He Could Never Let Go

Synopsis

My patron took me to a lavish party. I repaid him by beating his precious childhood sweetheart until her face was black and blue. I even kicked him into the lake and left him there to feed the fish. That day, wiping my nose with one hand and my tears with the other, I said, "Quillan, we were done. The kind of done where there was no turning back. Where we never saw each other again." Afterward, I was afraid Quillan would kill me, so I fled back to my hometown and hid. When I saw Quillan again, he hated me so much his teeth were clenched tight. He said, "Fine. You went after my stepmother, and I let that slide. But you didn't stop there. You came after me too. Serena, you really went that far." I gagged twice in a panic. Did he know? Did he even know I was pregnant?
