Jessica's POV.
As the car glided across the asphalt, I couldn't stop asking. The questions had replayed in my mind for an unhealthy amount of times.
Was it ideal to give a man a second chance, after he'd hurt me once? Would he really change? What if he was coming back to hurt me more?
I couldn't shake off the doubts creeping into my mind.
We were about to sign a contract, a safeguard against future heartache. I had written out the terms, clause by clause, to ensure my protection. But despite this precaution, fear still gnawed at me.
And this was because I was still helplessly in love with him. My heart remained vulnerable, still beating for him. What if he hurt me again? What if he couldn't resist the pull of his past, the allure of Zoey?
The thought sent a shiver down my spine. Would Zoey return? If she did, would he go back to her again? The uncertainty was suffocating.
