After the divorce, I changed my name and my phone, severing every tie with New York. Everyone believed I was dead—killed in that brutal incident that had shaken the entire military district. For three years, white daisies never stopped appearing at my grave. My ex-husband Sebastian Humphrey had been drowning in guilt over my death, nearly ending his own life because of it. He had a long-time rival in the military, a woman he had competed with for over two decades. The two had once sworn never to marry and to spend their entire lives battling each other. Then his rival, Katelyn Aguirre, hated him for breaking their pact, and she took all her anger out on me. The first time, Katelyn tricked me into entering a training minefield. I stepped on an explosive; my bones fractured, my organs bled, and I spent ten days in the ICU. The second time, she abandoned me in the desert and ordered me to walk home alone. Until the 99th time, Katelyn learned from Sebastian that I was severely allergic to hazelnuts. She ground 5 kilograms of hazelnuts into powder and forced them into my stomach through a feeding tube. I went into anaphylactic shock on the spot. "Be good. Let's not make this a big deal. "Katie is a fallen soldier's orphan. She grew up without a sense of safety. Fighting with me is the only way she feels alive. "She didn't mean to hurt you. She didn't know your allergy was this serious. For my sake, let's just let it go, alright?" At that moment, something inside me went cold and never warmed again.
