His Betrayal, My Beautiful Rebirth

I was the secret girlfriend of rising political star Kellen Jefferson, and the sacrifice he made thirty-eight times to appease his manipulative sister, Cherrelle.

Her cruelty escalated from ruining my career to pushing me off a stage, breaking my wrist. Kellen covered it up.

He chose her again when she pushed me down a flight of stairs, covering up the attempted murder. He chose her when he publicly kissed her after she framed me for stalking.

But the moment that truly killed my love was when I was abducted. I called him, begging for help. He never answered.

Later, I saw the video: he watched my call come in and, at his sister' s urging, let it go to voicemail. He abandoned me to die.

After escaping with my life, I disappeared.

Two years later, he saw my face on the cover of a magazine-a celebrated artist with a new life and a new love. And he finally understood what he had lost.
