The Love He Forgot

I kept my vow and pursued Alexander Hayes for three years, confessing my feelings ninety-nine times.

Yet he always treated me like a scheming, clingy gold-digger, heaping humiliation upon me and ignoring me completely.

Later, when his mistress lost the child in her belly, he pinned me to the bed to punish me without hesitation.

Certain that I was the reason the baby was gone, he demanded I give him another one to make up for it.

Shannon's POV
