Chapter 234

Megan had once believed that after everything they'd been through, even if Howard hadn't loved her deeply in the beginning, his feelings would grow over time and they would spend the rest of their lives together. She had thought they would always be each other's unwavering choice—the one person they could count on no matter what. But not long after they got married, he fell for another woman. She couldn't believe that their seven years together meant less than the short time he had spent with Alyssa. She'd lost. Or maybe she'd never truly known him. She wasn't sure anymore. "Trust me, okay?" Howard said. Megan lowered her eyes, took a deep breath, and asked, "What about Alyssa? Howard, how am I supposed to trust you?" Silence settled between them again. Megan clenched her jaw and held herself together. After a few moments, Howard said, "Alyssa only has five months left. After that, everything will go back on track." Megan let out a bitter laugh as tears slid down her cheeks.
