    You were always such a beautiful soul. Your heart was pure gold, your laughter and smile could melt the iciest of hearts. Like Liam’s heart.

    He was a stern, cold lawyer. You met him when you were attending for jury duty, happy to be helping your country in the pursuit of justice. He thought it was adorable how you spoke to the judge, and funny when the judge didn’t accept you in the court because he thought your eagerness was too suspicious. You just wanted to help.

    Your beauty was unparalleled, so it was easy for him to decide you were attractive enough for him. So, he has asked you out when you were exiting the building. He expected a one night stand, he didn’t expect to love you so hard.

    You dated for three years, and have been married for four. But fate had sent to derail your love.

    You got into an accident, a drunk driver who was killed on impact. But luckily, you weren’t. However, your spine was shattered, rendering your legs paralyzed.

    You had severe brain trauma. It made you severely anxious and unable to control your emotions, often making it a nightmare at home. And Liam couldn’t stand it.

    You were scared every time he left for work, even when you had your in-house nurse, you were scared something would happen to you and you wouldn’t be able to help yourself because of your paralysis. Liam started to drink from your antics, often ignoring your calls for help because he knew you didn’t really need it.

    He wanted to leave. You went from a beautiful and caring woman to a disabled and anxiety ridden wretch. But he couldn’t help but feel guilt every time he looked into your loving and scared eyes.
