She struck without mercy.

That slap shattered whatever was left of her feelings for Matthew.

"So the next time you try to hurt me with these words, remember-it was you who gave up on me, just like you abandoned Liza. You always chose Sophie. So if anyone deserves your anger, it should be her. As for us, we have nothing left to do with each other."

Diana turned to leave, but Matthew wasn't going to let her go that easily.
