Shattering Her Illusion - EXCERPT

He was silent.

A lifetime of poisonous words faded away when he came into my life, convincing me every single insidious whisper had been a lie.

He gave me a glimpse into a world where I could be happy, creating a family of my own-one based on unconditional love and zero expectations.

Except maybe one.

When the moment comes for him to speak up and defend me, he doesn't say a word, and reality comes crashing down on my head.

He's not the man I thought he was, but I'm not the same girl he fell in love with, either.

I'm stronger now, and I know I deserve better, so when I walk away, he'll be the one left picking up the pieces.

There is no cheating, just a TSTL Hero who should've known better.
