hirteen Years of Toxic Love Burned in a Shared Vision

Summary

The implosion of my seven-year marriage to Jake Ryder wasn’t a slow drift; it was a head-on collision. I was twenty-nine.

We were already on the way to the lawyer’s office. I was weeping, the kind of ragged, hysterical crying that shreds your throat.

"I gave you my whole damn life since I was seventeen, and you cheat? Are you completely sick, Jake?"

He didn't flinch. He just offered a cold, humorless laugh. "You're not sick? Sleeping with a man at seventeen."

My body started to shake, a seizure of pure adrenaline and shock.
