THE WIFE TO BE
Blurb
SHE’S PLOTTING AGAINST YOUR WIFE-TO-BE. CAN YOU PROTECT HER FROM HER?
I have never hated someone with every fiber of my being before until I heard about Rosina Scott, my boyfriend’s wife-to-be.
If Evans thinks he’s going to live happily ever after with Rosina, then he’s as mad as he is crazy. I will not sacrifice ten years of my life for a man only for him to leave me for a woman young enough to be my kid sister.
I’m not a jealous ex. It’s just not fair that Evans will humiliate me like this, after everything I did for him. If you hear I’ve been arrested for premeditated murder, believe it, because Evans has no idea what I’m capable of. I’m just getting started.
CHAPTER 1
Stronger than a lover’s love is a lover’s hate.
—Euripides.
NOW
THEY SAY LOVE is blind. I wish I had known that ten years ago, or maybe I did know but just didn’t understand it then. I was gullible, naïve, foolish, and all the other clichés you would use to refer to a young lady who blundered. Truth is that I never expected this. Never dreamt it. It still didn’t make any sense. Okay, maybe it did. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, but I don’t believe that. If it truly does, Evans wouldn’t have found my replacement so quickly while I languished in prison for a crime he committed. Stupid me. I thought I was in love. I was willing to sacrifice everything for him, even my freedom, and what did I get in return? A broken heart.
When I was in college, I watched my female friends get broken hearts over something as silly as being dumped for another girl. I used to watch them cry their eyes out over a man who they probably wouldn’t meet again after college, and through it all, I sat by them as any friend would do, saying, “I’m so sorry. It’s going to be all right. Eventually, the right person will come your way.”
I didn’t know what I was saying then, but now I do, and I understand what they felt. I didn’t feel it then because it didn’t happen to me, but now it has happened to me, and it’s excruciating. It’s not the thought of another woman replacing me that hurts me. It’s the thought of being betrayed by someone close to me. Someone I trusted so much that I was willing to go to prison for. So that was how my friends felt? God, if I had known it would be this painful, I wouldn’t have fallen in love.
It’s unfair how men easily find soulmates even when they are aging. But it’s a lot more complicated when you’re a woman, and you’re hitting forty with no stable job, along with...
