Rejected, And Became A Heiress

Chapter 0127

Cara's POV

"Please, leave."

That is all I manage to say.

My cheeks feel wet, and I realize they are my tears. They roll down one after another, but I refuse to look weak.

...Not like before. Not like the fragile person I used to be.

I need to stay strong.

I wipe the tears away, turn quickly, and pull open my wardrobe. I grab an oversized sweater and put it on. The way it wraps around me calms me slightly, but I still keep my back to Alaric.

"You need to go. Right now," I say, doing my best to keep my voice steady.

"About last night... It was a mistake. I was drunk and it didn't mean anything." I feel my voice steadying further as I speak, my resolve growing. "We have no relationship, and we never will. Just like you've always wanted." "The partnership between DarkWood and BloodyMoon won't change because of this. Don't worry-I'm not petty."

Just like he wants.

Just like I used to want.

"Wait, Cara..." he starts.

I feel calmer now, calm enough to turn and face him. I look directly at Alaric- at his shocked, handsome face.

Those piercing blue eyes, the dark, tousled curls... They are everything I once loved.
