Three Matches and the Lies We Call Love
CH. 01
Chapter 1
Before my mother passed, she left me three matches — each one capable of taking me back in time.
I used the first match to return to the night Miller was drugged.
I knocked over his spiked drink before he could touch it. He never slept with his secretary, Scarlett.
I saved our marriage.
But then, not long after, we were in a car accident. Miller threw himself over me, shielding my body with his.
His injuries were too severe. He didn't make it.
Without a second thought, I struck the second match.
We went back to before the crash, and this time, we walked away without a scratch.
I thought I would never need the third match.
Then Miller set a sonogram down in front of me, and I went completely still.
His voice was ice. "Scarlett is four months pregnant. The baby is mine."
A ringing filled my ears. Everything felt distant, like a dream.
Miller kept talking.
"The fact that I survived that accident means God gave me a second chance — a chance to go after what I really want."
"You can keep the title of Mrs. Miller. Just stay out of Scarlett's way."
