A day before the wedding

William's POV

When the call came in I was drunk, nearly passed out, lying on the floor of my studio, in my secret apartment in New Jersey.

I thought I was hallucinating when I heard Adeline's voice at the other end of the line.

It was her, it was her. I kept on repeating in my head. The wound in my heart started closing up. I thought I had lost her.

I was left speechless as she narrated what her mother did.

"I never want to lose you again." That's all I could say to her as she ended her explanation.

I spent months in a torturing cage of pain, wondering what I did wrong. Why did she suddenly go back to that therapist? Was my love not enough?

I was so relieved and happy she hadn't gone back to him and that she was still mine.
