Chapter 0299

“That is not an answer,” I snap

His eyes are like a whirlpool of waves. A storm was raging behind the gray pools. They seemed to be beckoning me to their depths. Trapping me, refusing to let me go.

It’s then that I see it. A crac k in his armor. The reason why he didn’t want me to see Ethan.

For the second time today, I’m shocked.

“You’re afraid, aren’t you?” I ask softly while still trying to wrap my head around the discovery.

He shifts and turns away, but it’s too late. I’ve already seen the fear in his eyes. There is no way to get back from that.

Approaching, I gently lay my hand against his shoulders. “Rowan, talk to me”

I find myself massaging his shoulder when I feel the tension in his shoulders. I just wanted to understand.

over me like I chose Emma over and over again. I’m f ucking afraid that one day you’ll wake up and decide that I’m not worthy of you, not good enough and that you’ll leave. I don’t think my heart can bare it if you left me, especially for him”

It’s my obsession that led me to think it was okay to sleep with Rowan even though I knew he belonged to someone else.

I understand. If I were in his shoes, I would have probably done the same thing. I would have gotten revenge on anyone who tore me from the man that I loved. We were both wrong and we went about things the wrong way, but I’m so ready to move on and leave the past behind. There was no point in holding on it. It would only hold us back. “My heart will always belong to you” I continue. “If I truly loved Ethan, or felt for him a fraction of what I feel for you, then I would never have left him despite his sins, I would have been angry and mad as hell, but nothing would have driven me away from him. Not even his crimes against me
