I let her go once because I thought she deserved someone better.
But she’s been hiding our daughter, and I’m done playing nice.
She’s mine.
She was always mine.
And I’ll stop at nothing to take back my family.
“If you’ve come back to crush the last fragments of my heart, Belle, you’ve wasted your time.
You left nothing in this chest except bitterness and dust.”
Wretched Truth is an interconnected standalone, but is best read after Wretched Heart, Wretched Soul and Wretched Lies to fully appreciate the finale of the overarching story, and to avoid spoilers.
Ash Griffin is the only man I ever truly loved, but love isn’t always enough, not when you’ve fallen for someone with dangerous ties to the mafia. If it had been only my safety I had to consider, I would have taken the risk.
But it wasn’t just me.
I had to protect the baby I was carrying.
And Ash could never know.
But our daughter is no longer a secret.
And I’m slowly realizing that the man I’ve just married, the one who was supposed to stop Ash coming after us, is as twisted as the lies he told to get me close.
I always thought Ash would be my downfall. But I was wrong.
He’s the only one who can save us.
If he can forgive me.
If I can forgive myself.
Ash was never the safe option.
But who said love was meant to be safe?
When Belle vanished without a trace, I told myself I’d never look for her. The only woman I could ever love was better off without me. I made peace with that a long time ago.
But that peace shatters the moment she steps back into my life wearing another man’s ring.
And not just any man, but my greatest and most persistent enemy. There’s no way in hell my daughter is going to call him daddy.
Nothing is going to stop me taking back what’s mine.
I want my daughter.
And I want Belle too.
Because no matter how much time has passed…
She still belongs to me.
