The Dark Side Of Fate

Novel {Book 2} Chapter 11 – ~Amelia~

I was really done with everything. I realised it wasn’t about me when Leo cautioned me about the lens.

It wasn’t my fault that someone messed up in his past; it wasn’t my fault that I was born with unique eyes.

I only got that lens so people, especially him, would stop staring when talking to me.

Most people squint as if they are trying to figure me out. I just want to be normal for a change.

I wasn’t desperate, but I wanted to give it a try. I have never been in a relationship and never had anyone close to family, so it was logical that I wouldn’t want to let go of my fated mate easily.

After spending almost two months with Leo, I saw him open up a little and realised he wasn’t as complicated as I thought, but he wasn’t willing to try.

I got the contacts to make it easy because he looked too hard, just like everyone else, and I didn’t want people to always ask him if I were blind. I knew it got to him, so I chose to do the only sensible thing so we could focus on other things.

The way he behaved when he saw the lenses broke my heart.

I have never been the type to dwell on an issue. I realised his opinion of our relationship would not change. It had nothing to do with my background. He didn’t see me that way, and I could not settle for less.

So I said my piece. I said it all, so I won’t regret anything when I leave.

I went to my room and started packing.

I did not want to think of it. I knew I would change my mind if I did, but it wasn’t healthy. He had pleaded with me to accept the rejection before, so I decided to listen and accept.

I knew he was surprised to see me with my bags packed. Thanks to his generosity, I had things to pack in a bag. I was grateful for them, but it was time to move on.

I said my final words to him and was about to accept his rejection when he kissed me. He kissed me and said he would try, but that wasn’t enough. I needed more from him, so I gently broke away from him.

“Don’t say you will try because you don’t want me to leave,” I told him; knowing that was his reason, he was speechless.

It was pretty much his assumption that a kiss would make it okay.
