The Marriage She Turned into War novel Chapter 22

"If I'd kept you from coming back, you wouldn't have to go through all of this."

I knew that Zack was saying this out of care and concern for me. But things had already come to this point, and no amount of words could change what had happened.

I let out a bitter laugh, not knowing how to respond to Zack's sentiment. All I could do was lower my head in silence.

Abigail hiccuped and rubbed her forehead before speaking in a shaky, tearful voice. "It's… my ex-boyfriend. His name is Samuel. He just told me out of the blue that he wanted to break up with me, and then he left the country without a word.
