Aaron's POV
Present time…
I stared at this woman pinned down underneath me. Even while forcing her to look at me, I can never get her focus. The only woman I want, yet I can't have. She is my wife, the one I vowed to protect in life and death, in sickness and health, in richness and poverty, to love and cherish even after death in every lifetime.
But this woman was a shell of my wife. No matter what I do, I can't have her love, care, or even moments of her joy. The woman who used to peek at me and blush. The woman who would run up to me every day I came home was gone. The woman who seduced me just by existing was nowhere.
If that day she didn't see me killing that man and stayed in blissful ignorance, would it be any different? I should have let her go before she became this soulless human, but I am a selfish bastard. I can't let her go, and like a selfish bastard, I used our daughter to keep her tied down beside me.
