Three years after faking my death, I saw William again. He came to beg my husband for medicine to save his lover's life. I was holding a lamp, waiting for my husband, when our eyes met—and his world stopped. He looked at, desperate and broken. But all I could think about was the past—how he betrayed me, how he let his lover destroy the child I carried, and how he held her while I fought for my life. "Charlie," he said quietly, "since you're still alive... come back with me. You'll always be my wife." "William," I said, steady and calm, "I've remarried. My husband and I are happy now... and our child has already been born."
