When There Is Nothing Left But Love

I nodded, confidently staring him down. “You have every reason to do so!”

His eyes narrowed into a livid glare. “If you believed what she said, then why didn’t you stab me instead?”

“You weren’t there at that time—but she was!” I spat the words boldly, challenging his indifferent stare with my own fearless one.

“Huh!” He snorted.

It was sudden and cold. He dropped my hand immediately, looking at me with a grey face of disappointment. “Have you ever trusted me? No wait, I should ask you if you even love me, Scarlett?”

Glancing at him, the thoughts ruffled in my head. Have I ever loved him? I didn’t know anymore. I couldn’t tell if what I felt for him was even love.

He stared at me for the longest time. There was some kind of deep and intense emotion lingering in his eyes as he waited for my answer.

Then, he snorted softly at himself as if he already knew my answer. He stood and said coldly to me, “You should head back. Before Rebecca gets out of surgery, it’s best that you stay home and not go out recklessly. The Moore family can’t do anything to you for the time being, not while I’m around. So just go home.”

I said coldly, “It’s alright. I’ll take responsibility for my own actions, so whatever punishment the Moore family decides is between me and them. It doesn’t concern you at all.”

He watched me without speaking. The indifference in his darkened eyes was enough to suffocate everyone around us.
