An excerpt from Prologue

A horrifying crash.  If that were anyone else but Anita involved, it might have called for some sincere pity from Abel.  However, sympathy categorically refused to surface in the case of this particular woman.  He had known her only too well.  She had never let him be his true, lovable, happy-go-lucky self. Happy New Year 2005!

Car smashed. The way she was going, literally, that had to happen sooner or later. Of course, it had to!  But thankfully, it wasn’t his car that was involved. Good that Anita had picked her own vehicle on that day rather than use Abel’s which she did once too often, if only  to irritate him.  Abel definitely wouldn’t have fancied being even remotely close to or mixed up with the incident in anyway.

Drunken driver crushed beyond recognition.  That was, undoubtedly, the icing on the cake.  No amount of patch up would put that wretched woman back in one piece. Blessedly, Anita had gone too far away from the world to ever return to him.  To trouble him or to bother him.  Her deliberate jibes and insults had stung him only too often. And her endless demands had drained him so. But he had completely lost it that day. Oh damn it! Abel Freeman certainly would want to forget the whole bloody episode.
