Chapter-90. Falling in fears(18+)

[Xanthea]

"I'm sorry," Ezra said, caressing my fingers as he applied an ointment that lowered the redness in my fingers around the ring almost instantly. "You are hurt because of me." '... Good luck protecting her. I hope you're not too late this time.'

Ever since Raven said those words, Ezra had been lost somewhere. He appeared calm and composed on the outside, but I could sense the restlessness gnawing at him from within. He was talking to me, but he was thinking about someone else. Perhaps it was someone he couldn't protect.

I could see it in his eyes.

The pain.

The emptiness.

It reminded me of-

'We'll make it...'

'I was too late. My only regret is I was too late to realize how desperately, madly, I needed this power, this strength.'

Ezra's words echoed in my head. I had always been curious about his past, but now that curiosity was more than ever. Yet a part of me resisted, terrified of the truth.

What if I failed to bear the weight of what I might uncover?

What if I hurt him more?

What if I lose all the warmth and the fragile connection that had built between us?

What if things go back to how they were in the beginning, or... get even worse?

We were in Ezra's condo in the Glass palace, sitting on the couch in the living area. The walls, ceiling, and even the furniture were composed of glass, seamlessly blended with soft, glowing lights that created a futuristic ambience. And I feared that, much like this house of glass, my one wrong question would shatter everything.

When I saw Raven kiss Nyssa in the parking lot while his eyes were on me, I realized something. A man can be with a woman and not be with her at the same time.

I didn't know Ezra's story, his past or his pain, so I had no right to come to conclusions, but I couldn't stop thinking.

I looked at Ezra, who was still tending to my hand.

Who do you see when you look at me, Ezra?

Do you see me? Or are your eyes searching for someone else in me? Perhaps someone you lost?

My throat closed up as I blinked back the tears that threatened to show.
