Adieu, My Almost Forever

Hector Elwood takes work as Whitney Lovell's personal bodyguard, and he is not there for her. He is close to her because it puts him near her stepsister, whose heart he wants. Whitney's father has always preferred the stepsister and paid Whitney no attention, so Whitney turns to Hector. She chases him for more than a thousand days and nights. He never softens, and he hurts her. When she finds out what he was doing it for, she stops, and out of anger she marries Carson Monroe, the paralyzed heir of the Monroe family, who gives her a settled life. Hector learns of the marriage and regrets it. He does everything he can to get her back, gambling his own life on it. What he does not know is that Carson has loved Whitney for years and faked the illness waiting for her.
