Chapter 1
When I opened my eyes after my rebirth, I found myself nestled in a warm embrace with someone feeding me a spoonful of chicken soup.
I turned my head abruptly and met Randy Wilson’s bloodshot eyes.
This was the day after I’d stood in the pouring rain all night, trying to force him to marry me.
Randy clearly hadn’t slept at all–stubble had already begun to shadow his jaw.
“Drink it yourself.” He pushed me away.
“Randy…”
“What?”
“Hold me again…”
He stood up to leave.
But the next second, I hugged him from behind. I could feel his muscles tense beneath my palms.
“Sarah…”
He gripped my hands tightly.
“You can’t force someone to love you.”
“I know.”
I pressed against his back, savoring his warmth one last time.
“I understand now.”
“You understand?”
His scoff was heavy with exhaustion.
“You say that every time.”
He pried my hands away forcefully and walked out without looking back.
I looked down at my palms which still held his warmth.

My phone vibrated–my assistant calling:
“Miss Adams, we’ve surveyed Miami. You always want to hold your wedding there. Should we change the
venue?”
“Go and ask Beth Harris‘ thought. She loves the ocean too. If she’s willing, make the change.”
“Miss Adams?” My assistant thought they’d misheard.
“But you’re the bride.”
“Not anymore, starting today.”
