- "No. No, that isn't it at all," Darren stammered, shaking his head so hard his hair flew. "I know my own heart. That marriage was a business contract—nothing more. You, Mona, were my choice. The first moment I saw you, I wanted you. All these years together, every part of you—every smile, every flaw—I've loved them all. Mona, I love you—Mona, I swear I still love you."

"Darren Shaw, you are not worthy of the word love. Sign it. The moment your pen hits the page, you give me my life back, and I'll give you yours. I've reached the limit of what I can tolerate. If we stay tied together any longer, I'm afraid that one of these nights—while you're sleeping—I'll kill you."
