Was it more cruel to give hope?

He slowly turned around, his eyes earnestly looking into Norah’s, “Norah, you don’t know my past. I’ve taken lives, started fires, I’ve done it all. I’ve had my share of women, too—the kind you can satisfy your desires with for just a few bucks. I used to live by the sword, my life was all about taking risks for cash. So whenever I got my hands on money, I’d blow it all on gambling, racing, and wild nights with women. The more thrilling, the better!”

Norah stared at Xavier in shock.

Xavier’s lips curled into a wry smile, “Surprised, huh? So do you really like me? Or is it just some twisted fascination born out of curiosity? Once you get to know me, you’d feel nothing but disdain! My life’s been excessively spent. The days left to me are just about clinging on, barely living. Marriage and having kids were never in my plans. Dating,” he gave a self-deprecating chuckle, “that’s even more unlikely!”

Norah was still gaping at him, struggling to digest his words.

Xavier’s gaze was dark as he looked at her, “Don’t think you can save me. Stop this self-indulgent fantasy of being moved. Go back to your regular life and forget about me!”

With that, he turned and strode away.

Norah watched as he walked away without looking back, took a step back, and leaned against a railing, her emotions in tumult, unable to calm down for a long time.
