Chapter 38 Destiny Traced

• Maya watched Joseph clench his fists and turn his face away so he wouldn’t have to look at her. Why did it seem so hard for him to meet her gaze? She thought he might regret it, but Joseph knew the reason was something else.
• Maya felt her cheeks burn. Joseph’s last words had shattered her heart. He didn’t love her, and worse, he hated her for leaving him at the altar.
• But she loved him, and that was her punishment. This man had chased her, won her over, and now she was bound to him for five long years.
