All Chapters of Forsaken Heart: Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

My whole life, I have been waiting for this day. This moment when I can officially be called Mrs. Stevens. I knew the day would eventually come as we both looked forward to it. I didn't think I would get emotional during the last days toward my wedding day. Every day before I went to bed, Jerry Stevens, my fiancée and I had skype calls to ease my tension. I could not help but notice how calm and relaxed Jerry appeared during those late-night calls.

I want to know whoever sent me this deadbeat joke," I said furiously, snatching the phone off Lydia's hands."The man in the photo looks like Jerry, but not my Jerry. They may be sharing the first name but not my Jerry Stephens," I said frantically.I didn't take the picture seriously. Sarcastically, I burst into laughter then the girls gaped at me.My weird reaction shook the girls. They must have thought I was losing it. Perhaps a string had detached itself in my mind.I wasn't thinking straight. I'm supposed to be da
