Chapter 69. I Hate You With All My Heart!

• Lynda Skarosky
• When I went out to greet the people of Balaica to announce my engagement to Steven Walker, I never imagined that I would see the man who destroyed my life again, I don't know why he was looking for me, what was his determination to see me again when he was supposed to have rebuilt his life, that he even ended up marrying my best friend. They told me that he had gone far away, that he had run away like a coward after being acquitted of the crime he had committed against me, and I could not believe that he had the nerve to present himself to me, his mere touch caused me repulsion, it was unbelievable how one could hate someone I loved with all my strength and so deeply, someone for whom in another time I would have been able to give even my life, although now there was nothing left, only a deep and absolute hatred.
• I watched him as he pushed the guards away, pulling them from one side to the other, I walked him from head to toe, he was not even a shadow of the man he was, he was thinner, his face bony and his eyes looked like two empty sockets, lifeless and dull; I was never a selfish woman, I always pitied others, although I was convinced that the man before me deserved everything bad that happened to him, surprised, with fear and rage boiling inside me at the same time, I took a few steps back, putting a hand on my chest.
