After the Last Tear: Rising from the Ashes of a Broken Marriage By Cassila K

Chapter 118

With his words hanging in the air, he left the bar and got into his car alone. He lit a cigarette, taking a deep drag in an attempt to calm his inner turmoil.

But the memories he had deliberately suppressed rushed back like a tide, completely overwhelming him.

He remembered their first time together.

Aurelia lying beneath him, her face flushed with shyness, her eyes full of trust and love.

"Nolan, will you love me forever?"

He had kissed her forehead tenderly. "Of course I will. I'll love you until becoming old."

Her body had trembled slightly, her eyes showing a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

Nolan's movements had been gentle and slow, as if afraid of hurting her.

His fingers had traced lightly over her skin, feeling her warmth and heartbeat.

Her breathing had quickened, her eyes gradually misting with desire.

"Nolan, that feels so good..." she had whispered, her voice quivering.
