I didn’t know the full extent of what I had done to her at that time. The damage I had caused. All I saw was the wornan I loved wanting to leave me. for the life of me I couldn’t understand why. I envisioned myself going to pick her up in jail after her five–year sentence.

Then take her home and re–introduce her to society as the spoilt missus of the Jones family. By then, her debt to my best friend would have been paid and Sandra would have been appeased. But things didn’t go as I envisioned. They took a turn for the worst and there was nothing Lcould do to stop them.

Now I was all alone in our marital home staring at the rings I gave her to make her Mrs Jones. Just when did I fuck things up so much? “Man, come on. You need to stop that put those away and come with me.” Ethan said taking the rings from me. noveldrama
