Excerpt
We need to be married. She heard his unspoken words loud and clear.
Manipulated into one marriage after another. Why couldnt she choose who she wanted, or better yet, stay single? The four years shed spent under Jacobos thumb were enough to last a lifetime. Only, would she have such a terrible fate as Enriques wife? Even though hed kidnapped her, he hadnt technically hurt her. Terrorized and angered her, sure. But that was the extent of his cruelty. If he were Jacobo or Diego, he probably wouldve assaulted her by now.
Of course. Now shes rationalizing Enriques male-chauvinistic actions just as she had Jacobos when he hit her while drunk. She was stronger than this. No matter what happened, she couldnt lose herself in fear and self-pity as she had before. Whether she married Diego, Enrique, or someone else, she had to be strong and resilient. She had to survive.
Lourdes pulled from his grasp. Enriques heart was in the right place, though he was going about saving her all wrong. She had to protect him from his foolishness. Somehow, she had to escape and beg her father to grant him mercy.
“If I had the chance to go back in time and stop myself from doing this, I wouldnt.” He tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. “Give me time, Lourdes. Youll see Im right. I will make you happy.”
Happiness, hope, love—those were dangerous words. Everything shed ever wanted.
Too bad it wasnt meant to be.
