Chapter 74
Since that mistaken night, Amanda had prayed to whomever could answer her cries to never see Marcus again. The mistake had been made. She had intertwined herself with another man who wasn't her husband.
Amanda left that motel after Marcus had her again, clutching shame and regret as she ran out.

Her skin reddened and softened from scrubbing, but that didn't help with the revolt she was feeling.
Then some days later, she received a call from an unknown number, and she jumped, having a bad feeling. She looked at the unknown number as her phone buzzed repeatedly until she picked it up. Her chest tightened the moment she heard his voice.
