Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 1

After graduating from college, I dumped my penniless boyfriend and left the country with a trust fund baby.

Two years later, I was dumped. I returned to the country to find out that my ex-boyfriend had been succeeding in his field.

He pulled all sorts of tricks to marry me. Everyone said that he was deeply in love with me and was willing to bury the hatchet, but they did not know that he had been making his way through countless lovers as revenge on me. He asked me why I did not care or feel jealous about it. With a smile, I looked at him. "I'm already dying anyway. What does it matter?"

Patrick tried to comfort me. "There's still hope if you have surgery now and undergo chemotherapy periodically."
