Ashley Years of torment were behind me, but the wounds caused by Alex Bennet were as fresh as the day he caused them. Until the day I saw him on stage, for all to see, and I knew the ball had finally bounced in my court. I had him right where I wanted him. One word and I’d bring his fine ass to the ground. I had the perfect opportunity right there to expose his little secret. I’d have my revenge, and my broken heart could finally heal. Funny how things turn out, right? Wrong. So very wrong. God, I hated Alex Bennet. I couldn’t even have this. Instead, I got more than my shattered heart could take. Alex Ashley Carter hated me, and who could blame her? From the day we met, I kept her in the spotlight, a place she didn’t want. But, years later, when she saw me up there, I was the one exposed in more ways than I was comfortable with. The balance was tipped to her; I had to get it back. What I got was much more than I thought possible. My secrets were exposed one by one, and it was me doing the talking. When she finds out the truth, would she give me exactly what I deserve? F***, I hoped not.
