“I married you out of guilt.” The words ripped through the air, and my heart shattered with them. It wasn’t the remorse that I wanted from him…I needed love and respect for my sacrifice. Alaric Bean, CEO of Goodwill Industries, the man to whom I laid my life to save him, had betrayed me in the worst way possible. His eyes darkened, but he didn’t regret. "Fine. I accept that I don't love you. You got paralyzed in saving me. So I took the cross to be your husband." His voice was ice cold. I could barely breathe. I felt used, betrayed and cast aside. But he would never see me fall apart. I swore to myself that..I’d make him regret this, and everyone who ever dared to hurt me will learn the veracious cost of my resurrection.
