PROLOGUE
I guess I always did try to find happiness a little too hard. Maybe it was my fault when I became miserable. Maybe it was my fault for being so pessimistic about life that unhappiness made it a habit to find me. After all, misery does love company.
I was now the mother of two little girls. Gabby was twelve years old and Kathy, who we all called Kit for short, was ten. They were beautiful girls. Gabby had her father's blue eyes, but that was about the only thing about her that brought back memories of Mitch. Kit looked just like Jacob. Her hair was the same dark red, her eyes the same blue violet. Of course, she did have my nose and lips. Okay, she was more of a mix of the two of us. I was proud of my girls. I was proud that they were so beautiful and intelligent young girls.
Years and years had passed and now I was over the fear that Mitch was coming back. I no longer feared if he did. He would regret it if he ever tried to come into the girls' and my life. I don't think he'd actually live to regret it. I'd make his life a living hell. And I think maybe he somehow knew that. Maybe he knew he should fear me. Never was I so angry with somebody. Never had I been angry enough to kill. I was now.
The past years have seemed to fly by, yet go so slowly. Yes, I have made a happy life for my girls. They've had a wonderful father that loved them and myself very much. Jacob was a magnificent father and that I was grateful for.
I've done growing up over the past twelve, thirteen years. I am now thirty years old and no longer am I that bitter sixteen, seventeen-year-old girl, not knowing where life was leading her. No, I am not completely different. My temper, of which both of my girls have inherited from me, is just as bad as it had been. I've just come to realise that life isn't so horrible. I still have yet to come completely into the sunlight of my family's past. But I am determined to do so. I just hope I can do it without causing my girls pain and suffering like I've had.
