After I Amazed the World the Cold Alpha Regretted

Chapter 185

His words hung In the air, heavy with meaning. I love you,

The same words I had longed to hear from him for so long, but now, they felt hollow, too late. My eyes filled with tears.

"You don't know what love is, Leo," I whispered, turning to grab my bag. "If you loved me, you wouldn't have hurt me like you did. You wouldn't have sacrificed me for her, or left me behind when I needed you the most. I was kidnapped, and you were making love to another women"

Each wound he inflicted was carved into my heart like scars.

He stepped forward again, grabbing my wrist. His touch was firm but gentle, and his voice broke as he spoke,

"Izabeth, please. I know I've made mistakes, but nothing happened between Aira and me. She lied, I was confused, but I came for you. 1 always come for you."

I pulled my hand away, shaking my head.

"It doesn't matter anymore. Your choices hurt me, Leo. They broke me. And no matter how much you say you love me now, it won't change that

As I turned to leave, Leo's grip tightened.

He pulled me back into his arms, holding me so tightly that I could feel his heartbeat pounding against my chest. His voice was low, pleading. "Please, let me make it up to you. I'll do anything, anything to fix this." I struggled, but he didn't let go.

Then, I felt something cold pressed into my hand.

I looked down to see the hilt of a silver saber, its edge gleaming in the dim light.

"This is my defense saber," Leo whispered, his voice trembling. "Take it. Stab me with it. Hurt me the way I hurt you. Make me pay for the pain 1 caused you."

I glanced at Leo in disbelief, my fingers trembling slightly.

"Are you crazy?" I whispered, watching the knife in his hand glint under the low light.

He let out a bitter laugh, the sound heavy with resignation.

His grip on the blade never wavered.

"I mean it," he said softly, his voice raw with emotion. "I would do it willingly, Shelly, if it means you'd stay with me-if it means you'd be happy." His words were suffocating.

I tugged against his arm, but his hold was unyielding.
