He Promised Forever, But Left Me in Ruins

From the back cover

My entire family had been diagnosed with granulocytic leukemia. The medication we desperately needed came at an unbearable cost. And worse, it was nowhere to be found.

Only the Lewis family had access to it from abroad.

I swallowed my pride and begged Owen to save my family.

But he was vacationing in Santorini, basking in the sun with his childhood sweetheart and their dog.

In mere days, thirteen of my eighteen family members succumbed to acute complications.

Overnight, my world shattered.

Only my parents and three young nephews remained, clinging to life, writhing in agony.

With trembling hands, I finally reached Owen by phone.

His voice, sharp with irritation, sliced through my desperation.

"Stop making trouble! Is this all you ever do?"

Before I could muster a response, a woman’s sobs rang from the other end.

"Owen, my dog is dying!"

I stood there, breathless, drowning in despair and he refused to leave her side for even a second.

Ultimately, my parents and nephews couldn’t hold on any longer.

One by one, they slipped away.

After arranging the funerals, after burying every last piece of my heart, the weight of it all crushed me.

I collapsed, swallowed whole by the grief.

The moment I woke up, devastating news struck me like a dagger to the heart. Someone was trying to dig up my family’s graves.
