Excerpt
We need to be married. She heard his unspoken words loud and clear.
Manipulated into one marriage after another. Why couldn’t she choose who she wanted, or better yet, stay single? The four years she’d spent under Jacobo’s thumb were enough to last a lifetime. Only, would she have such a terrible fate as Enrique’s wife? Even though he’d kidnapped her, he hadn’t technically hurt her. Terrorized and angered her, sure. But that was the extent of his cruelty. If he were Jacobo or Diego, he probably would’ve assaulted her by now.
Of course. Now she’s rationalizing Enrique’s male-chauvinistic actions just as she had Jacobo’s when he hit her while drunk. She was stronger than this. No matter what happened, she couldn’t 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. Enrique’s 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 wouldn’t.” He tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. “Give me time, Lourdes. You’ll see I’m right. I will make you happy.”
Happiness, hope, love—those were dangerous words. Everything she’d ever wanted.
Too bad it wasn’t meant to be.
