The truth, no matter how difficult it was to face, always brought a certain level of comfort with it. At least that was Haley's experience.
She remembered the very first time when she had been honest with herself about the state of her relationship with Prince Victor.
'I am not happy,' She had thought, and it had stung to admit that. But at the same time it had given her a sense of peace. At long last, she had admitted to herself that the relationship was not working out for her. Then she had been honest about how unfulfilled she felt in her post as CEO of Slater Group.
From knowing those truths, Haley had been able to act.
And now, Haley had come to terms with yet another truth that had brought her pain, but it had also freed her. And that truth was a simple one.
She did not like Deacon Roth.
She loved him.
Normally, such a realization would have brought nothing but happiness. But because of the circumstances of her marriage with Deacon Roth, it was painful.
