Prologue
The sun was just rising. Sunlight tried to get into room through the window, but dark, heavy curtains were in its way. It was a beginning of a new day.
Inside the room, a young woman was sitting on the bed. She had beautiful brown eyes, but currently, they were filled with tears. Some of them were already running down her pale cheeks. Her facial expression was blank and her eyes puffy.
'How could this have happened?' Liz thought.
She really did not understand how her life had become such a disaster. She had been hurt by so many people. By people she loved and people that she thought loved her, but it seemed she was wrong.
Here she was in a big city – alone, without family, friends, a home or money. Besides that, she was supposed to go to college in two weeks.
She considered calling her parents, but quickly decided against it. Her father was still very angry because of her marriage and if she told her mother where she was, then her husband would also know that at a glance.
Her husband...Liz still could not believe that they were married. It was like a dream come true, but even roses have thorns. Now she did not want to even see or talk to her husband. Just the thought of seeing him made her stomach lurch. No, she did not want to see him. Not today, not ever.
That thought made her laugh. Just three months ago she had promised to be with him forever and now her marriage had fallen apart.
She and Max Evans just were not supposed to be together. They were just...different.
