When Love Ends in Tears and Heartbreak

Summary

During a family dinner with Liam, I brought up the idea of getting married sooner and starting a family.

He immediately assumed I was after his family's wealth and only wanted to marry him for his money.

In front of everyone, he slapped me more than a dozen times. Then he turned around and pursued his jealous childhood sweetheart.

I grabbed his hand and begged him not to leave, but in a fit of rage, he shoved me down the stairs. That shove ended up breaking both my legs and fracturing my skull.

I spent a month in the ICU before I finally regained consciousness.
