Whispers of Love in the Evening BreezeChapter 1
Javier had once been a doctor with Doctors Without Borders, always ready to lend a hand to those in need. Yet, when I was caught in a shipwreck, he wasted no time abandoning me, rushing off because Sybil had caught a cold.
I was rescued and made my way back to the capital.
There, I found Javier lounging among a group of young men from wealthy families, smoking and holding Sybil close. He glanced up at me, clicking his tongue with a mocking smile, his voice dripping with casual disdain. "Well, look at that. You actually made it back."
There was a mocking edge to his voice. “I thought you’d drowned by the shore. I was even considering retrieving your body.”
I had repeated time and time again that I hadn’t been unfaithful, but Javier refused to hear me.
It wasn’t until he learned that the two children I’d lost had been his that he began to tremble. Fear and guilt gripped him, nearly bringing him to his knees.
At last, regret flooded him: too little, too late.
