When one lie is shattered, another begins.

My wife is on her deathbed and I've barely been married a day. The poison she took was meant for me. I should be the one lying in a hospital bed looking as though each moment might be my last. The guilt I feel is indescribable.

It's a bit too late to realise I'm in love with Jennifer. I've screwed the poor girl over so many times she can barely stand to look at me. Every time I come near her she flinches, and I can hardly blame her. All I know is that I need to make this right. I owe her that much.

I used to be good at delivering the impossible, but this time I'm not so sure. The odds are not stacked in my favour.

Losing isn't going to be an option, though. If I lose her, I lose everything...
