For ten years, I believed Adrian Winterbourne was the love of my life. We dated for five years before becoming husband and wife, and I thought nothing could ever come between us.
I was wrong.
When Adrian became convinced that I had betrayed him with Vincent, my childhood friend and the boy next door, the man I loved turned into someone I barely recognized. His wounded pride and jealousy consumed him, and he made me pay for a betrayal I never committed.
For a year, he subjected me to humiliation and cruelty, bringing other women into our bedroom and forcing me to watch. He wanted me to suffer, to feel the same heartbreak he believed I had caused him.
Yet, every night, he returned to my bed. He held me in his arms, whispered that he loved me, and begged me not to leave him.
How could a man who claimed to love me be so determined to destroy me?
I once would have done anything to save our marriage. But after a year of living in a hell he created, I was no longer certain there was anything left to save.
And this time, I wanted my freedom more than I wanted his love.
