Love Me (She’s Mine #2)

1. Chapter One

Chapter One

T he silence might kill her.

Where was the wail of her baby crying?

When would she feel something other than the smothering of her grief?

Heartbreak. That’s just how it started.

Agony was where she was stuck between the physical and emotional pain writhing inside her.

She could hear the scream lodged in her throat. Feel the emptiness in her belly like a living thing clawing at her.

She couldn’t escape the loss she felt of someone there, then gone, but never here.

The agony crashed over her, then receded into a throbbing ache before it built again as she considered what was gone. What would never be. Hopes and dreams and a life barely lived.

The spark ignited by love and passion snuffed out by twisted desire turned to rage.

He killed my baby!

The words were a scream in her mind. An echo that sounded over and over again with each tear that fell.

She’s gone, and I am empty.

The deep, dark pit of despair held her locked tight against its silent, heartless soul, aching to be free of the pain and resigned to feeling it forever.
