Can’t Win Me Back

The Taylors, when deeply in love, loved with all their heart.

But when they wanted to appear heartless, they could act the part flawlessly.

When Liam frostily uttered those words, it felt like a piece of flesh was being cut away from him.

Not only that, it also felt like his wounded heart was being wrenched unsparingly.

"Liam..." Yuliana, wrapped in his military uniform, shivered uncontrollably.

"Are you leaving me?" She seemed like a talented supporting actress, perfectly embodying her role in his charade.

Tears streamed down her face when she asked that question, dripping onto the bedsheets.

Liam's chest tightened.

If only she were there merely to seduce him.

But no.

Here she was, pouring out her heart, raw and genuine.

Every tear, every word, spoke the truth.
