Only Ashes Remain. Sweet Sacrifice, #0.5

Lucas Wilder pursued me relentlessly. Our romance and wedding was a whirlwind. Four months later he suddenly divorced me and married his pregnant ex-girlfriend. It sent the tabloids into a feeding frenzy. She kept them busy by spreading vicious lies about me and the band. I refused to comment and kept a low profile. My focus was on my music, the band, and our upcoming tour. Months later, when my ex insisted on a meeting, I should have refused.
I shouldn't have let him into my hotel room. I shouldn't have had sex with him. The consequences of that one act of utter stupidity was enormous. But it was my mistake and I was going to handle it on my own. Niko Orloff, my bodyguard, disagreed. He steamrollered his way into my life and heart. My big Russian bear gave me everything I needed. Happiness. Love. Our boys. A home. Until the past he escaped as a boy reared its ugly head.
When they were done with us only ashes remained.
