Hansel wasn’t one to back down either. He raised his fist and swung back at Paul.
“How dare you hit me? Who do you think you are?” he snarled as he attacked Paul. “When I was being intimate with Miranda back then, your were just a nobody!”

When she’d first moved in, she’d been filled with hope for the future. She’d imagined them decorating the mansion and managing the garden together…
She had never imagined that she would leave the mansion in this manner. In the end, she’d no longer have anything to do with the mansion. She’d also have no further connection to the man living in there.
Miranda rolled down the window, letting the wind mess up her hair. Exhausted, she leaned back against the seat and closed her eyes in
