Axel and Declan left the room and closed the door behind them to give Bella and Arnold some space. "Arnold," Bella cried out to him.

She was at a loss for words, as it did not seem appropriate to comfort him or talk about Asher.

"You simply fell in love with Ash. There isn't anything wrong with loving someone."

I was selfish. I'd rather take the fall for everything than put Ash through this. I want everything to go back to how it was. But it's too late."
