30 Days with My Ex-Husband

> My grandmother's will had one condition: > > Live with my ex-husband for 30 days. Or lose the house. > > Ryan and I divorced three years ago. He said he wanted out. No reason. No fight. Just—out. > > I hated him for it. > > Now we're trapped under the same roof. > > I found my grandmother's diary. And the truth destroyed me. > > "Ryan came today. He's being threatened. Someone will hurt Claire if he doesn't leave her." > > He didn't stop loving me. > > He left to protect me. > > "Why didn't you tell me?" I screamed at him. > > "Because I'd rather you hate me than get hurt." > > "I hated you for three years, Ryan!" > > "I know." His voice broke. "I'm sorry."
