After being reborn, I make up my mind to stop chasing after my husband and daughter

Being with Ryan made me realize just how out of my depth I was. He always had a way of making me beg for mercy, but then he’d hit me with those pitiful, unsatisfied eyes, and even with tears in my eyes, I’d find myself giving in to him all over again.
