Valerie walked through the hospital corridors during her break, listening to music and feeling at ease. She found a bench and sat down, letting herself drift into her memories for a while.

That moment of reflection led her to think about her life. Since turning eighteen and falling in love for the first time, she’d been caught up in one unfortunate situation after another. Before that, if she remembered correctly, she’d never had a boyfriend. Sure, like any teenager, she’d had crushes, but never a real relationship.

It felt like she couldn’t be alone. The only time she truly had been was when Peter had supposedly died. In those days, she’d desperately needed someone, anyone–man or woman–to offer advice and support. But even then, she’d been on her own, and things hadn’t gone so badly.

Granted, Marcus’s arrival in her life had been a lifesaver, but before that, she hadn’t done too poorly. Camille had been there for her since Serenity was just six months old.

Falling in love with Marcus had never been part of her plan. Him becoming her husband and Serenity’s father had been one of the best things to ever happen to her. Yet this new side of Marcus–where his jealousy overwhelmed him–was troubling. If she needed psychiatric help, then so did he.

Valerie thought hard about her next steps with Marcus. One thing that scared b

In the business world, he was ruthless with competitors, but that was very different from being a murderer.
