An Extra’s POV

Chapter 748

Tears.

In abundance, they fell from Rey's eyes as he heard those words from Alicia.

His eyes were wide open, encapsulating both shock and relief, leaving a gateway open for the bitter tears to flow.

Rey's knees felt weak, and before he knew it, he fell to his knees.

"I'm sorry for not telling you all this time! All of my reasons sound like excuses to me at the moment, and I know… I know I was supposed to say something, especially after you went and told me so much about you."

Not only did he passively deceive her, but he actively even lied to her.

"Everything that happened to you… the tragedy that day… it happened because of me! If I wasn't so obsessed with trying to lead a double life, then everything would have played out completely differently!"

"If I had been there that day… I could have… yet I… Alicia, I'm so sorry!" It was strange for Rey, who had so much power and authority—especially where he was coming from—to grovel at the feet of someone far weaker.

But… this was exactly how he saw Alicia. She was much better than him in every department except for strength.

'I just got lucky, but… she's been an amazing person from the start!' He admired her and loved her at the same time—feelings that he intended to convey at this moment.

"Alicia… I actually… for the longest time, I've—"
