Broken Vows by Tessa Montgomery

Chapter70

His betrayal wasn’t a recent event; it stretched back years.

Despair, raw and suffocating, consumed me.

“Mom,” I choked out, biting my lip to stifle the tremor in my voice, “Antonio cheated on me. I’m not marrying him.”

My mother’s voice was bright with something that sounded suspiciously like relief. “I’ll book your ticket right away. You know I’ve always wanted you close.”
