Diana shook her head, a bitter smile twisting her features. "I gave you countless chances, Steven. Ninety-nine chances, to be exact. And you never once took them seriously. The Marsh family hurt me, badly, more than eighty times. But you hurtninety-nine times. So, tell me, why should I forgive you?" Steven froze, clearly stunned that she'd kept such a precise tally for so long.
She had borne the brunt of his cruelty ninety-nine times until she could hold on no longer and had to let go. Only he knew the depth of the love she had once harbored for him.
Taking advantage of his momentary shock, Diana pushed him aside.
Caught off guard, he watched as she deftly sidestepped him, slipped on her shoes, and walked out the door.
He stared after her, a sharp pang of regret twisting in his gut.

Diana met her furious gaze with a faint smile. "Ms. Foliot, please calm down. You know exactly how your mother died. You just don't want to admit it. You're being played, used as a pawn."
