Resolution by Monique Orgeron

Shane:
The words, Catherine’s debt paid in full are something I never thought would leave my mouth.
I’ve struggled back and forth, battling within myself for the man I am and the man who demands restitution.
Decision made. The future is mine.
True happiness may be unattainable but by the time I’m done, I will have everything I want and need. Jolie thinks life with me has been hard; she has no idea of the sacrifice she’ll have to make in the end.
One way or another, all my problems will be resolved, and I dare anyone to get in my way.

Jolie:
In seeking his revenge, Shane will accomplish the one thing that sixteen years of separation couldn’t do. He will destroy my love for him. He will make me hate him.
People say life comes around full circle. Well, here I am, back to where it all began, back to where I was so desperate to escape.
Only, I’m not that young girl anymore. I’m a sad excuse of her, wanting the girl I used to be back. Her edge. Her fire. Her fight.
Not want. Need. I need the old Jolie if I am ever to survive.
One way or another, I will resolve all of my past, knowing I fought for my son.
