The second she got out, a massive poster by the entrance caught her eye. Kinsey’s face was plastered across it.
Recently, the company had signed on several fashion brands and needed a spokesperson.
Since it was a maternity line, Kenzie had volunteered for two reasons.
First, to help Colton.
Two, to prove to him that she still was useful.
But at the time, he shut her down outright, his words full of disgust.
“Kenzie, look at yourself now. You’re fat and ugly! Just forget it.”
“I’m not letting people see that poster and say the CEO of Parkhouse Group married an ugly woman.”
Ugly. That one word sent her straight to hell, tearing her down piece by piece and planting the rot of self-hate deep in her chest.
After that, she stared at herself in the mirror every single day, questioning herself over and over.
She had taken care of herself during pregnancy. She was just a little heavier.
So why the hell did Colton call her ugly?
Now she finally got it. It was never about her looks.
That role had always been reserved for Kinsey.
From beginning to end, the only person in Colton’s heart had ever been Kinsey.
Kenzie forced her shaking body to hold together and sucked in a breath.
