Samuel Coleman and I were known for being a bitter couple. When I caught him with a mistress, I rammed my car into him and broke his leg. After I found out he'd secretly been visiting his first love's grave, I smashed her tombstone to pieces. We tortured each other for twenty years, hurling the ugliest words we could invent. Yet when we were both bitten by a venomous snake, he handed me the last vial of antivenom. As he lay dying, he said quietly, "Natalie, I saved your life. I no longer owe you anything. If we ever get another chance, please let me go. I want to be with Madelyn." Madelyn was my sister, the fake heiress our family adored and protected. In the end, I finally understood that she was the only one they loved. However, when I opened my eyes again, I was back on the night I'd been drugged and set up. I grabbed a knife, stabbed my thigh to stay conscious, and walked away without looking back. Samuel, let's call it quits for good.
