- CHAPTER NINETEEN – Ivy -

I WAKE UP in what feels like a haze, the memories of the past forty-eight hours coming to be in flashes. I feel like everything is out of order in my head and I’m unsure of what is real and what’s not.

I remember going into the room with Brig and becoming emotional because deep down inside I want him dead, but couldn’t believe my deepest desire was to see a man I once loved, dead. I remember being conflicted and wanting answers as to how he could do the things he did to me. I wanted to know, not because I have lingering feelings, but because I needed him to prove to me that he’d become the despicable person who married me for fraudulent reasons and raped me after spending eight years sleeping next to me every night pretending to love me.

The look in his eyes told me Brig had probably always been the man I have seen as of late and I was just too naïve or in love to see him for who he really was.

After my flight to the room after seeing Brig is a blur. I remember tears and then expecting Sinclair to show up to comfort me, but he never did. Next thing I know I’m waking up in my bed, still fully dressed, and Chuck tells me Sinclair has gone to our home back on the mainland.

When Chuck tells me why he thinks Sinclair fled, I am floored that my husband had such a moment of doubt. Nothing I have done or said has indicated that I want anyone other than him, especially Brigham Lockhart. Yes, I wanted to believe there was still good in the man and his actions had been the result of a mental break he recently experienced. If that was the case, I wouldn’t have forgiven him, but I would’ve been more understanding.

Though, right now I don’t want to think about Brig because as the haze lifts I start to realize that Brig is the least of my worries right now. Right now I have to worry about whether or not I have killed another woman because of my reaction to my husband sleeping with her.

‘…You needed comfort and I gave it to you. It may have taken a little coaxing, but you didn’t do anything you didn’t want to do.’

I blow out a breath and slowly open my eyes. I try not to cry again but I can’t help it when the tears come. I hate that my mind can so easily imagine and accept my husband with another woman since I have gone through this before. I’m just thankful it wasn’t Violet this time around.

I laugh at myself. How dumb is it for me to think something like that? I should be packing up my clothes. I should be hiring a divorce lawyer. I should be on the next flight back to the states. I should be doing so many things and none
