Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 688

Chapter 688

In the midst of his overwhelming grief, he seemed oblivious to everything else, consumed by regret. "If it hadn't been for what you did to my mom back then, I wouldn't have harbored such hatred for you, fueled by Elaine's manipulations.

Yes, I admit I was foolish, placing my trust in Elaine for so long.

But even in those three years of hatred, you were always on my mind.

And when you returned, transformed, surrounded by men, my feelings were torn. I tormented you even as I couldn't help but be drawn to you.

Every indulgence I showed Elaine was actually a display of my frustration from not being able to hold onto you.

Only Parker knew the truth - that I've always loved you.

Later, for the sake of a spinal surgery, I had to make a deal with Florence.

I made so many mistakes, until I finally lost you for good.

People say it's a waste to play a good hand poorly.

That must be referring to someone like me.

Ha.

Once considered a golden boy, I thought I could keep you firmly within my grasp.

I stubbornly believed that as long as I was powerful, I could control you forever.

Even if you hated me, I thought there'd be time for you to fall in love with me.

All the things I did, everything, was to be with you.

I tried so hard, so why did it end with us forever apart?

Why is fate so cruel, punishing me with the inability to love you?

I can't bear it any longer!"
